The always 0:00:14.400 --> 0:00:18.280 brilliant Douglas Murray will join to discuss, among other things, 0:00:18.320 --> 0:00:22.520 today's extraordinary scenes in the Oval Office as President Donald 0:00:22.560 --> 0:00:26.920 Trump confronted the South African president over his country's racist, 0:00:27.080 --> 0:00:31.800 anti white policies and violence. Also tonight, an indigenous elder 0:00:32.040 --> 0:00:36.720 calls out fringe dissident groups blocking major projects. Nick Kata 0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:39.959 will be here to cover the day's top stories, including 0:00:40.000 --> 0:00:42.919 the ABC's absurd sexes. 0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:45.760 And allegations against David Little Crowd. Adam B. 0:00:45.960 --> 0:00:48.720 Coleman will have the Lakers from the US and later 0:00:48.800 --> 0:00:51.800 in the hour his is sco filled with celebrity and 0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:56.120 world news and Lefti's Losing It features a number of 0:00:56.520 --> 0:01:08.520 totally sane, totally rational activists, but First Victorian Opposition leader 0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:12.240 Brad Batton has refused to censure the two MPs accused 0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:16.000 of helping a farmer deliver Premiers just In allan a 0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:20.160 box of cow manure with a note reading, dearest Jacinta, 0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:23.680 I have considered your levy and here's my feedback. It's 0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:28.960 bull dust, love, brutus and family. Liberal mpaser Bev MacArthur 0:01:29.040 --> 0:01:33.199 and Nicole Werner were referred to the Victorian Parliaments Presiding 0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:37.640 Office after they escorted the farmer who had attended Tuesdays 0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:42.080 scrapped the tax rally on parliament House steps, leading the 0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:45.400 farmer to the Premier's office, where he left the manure 0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:48.320 behind with the note. Here is what the opposition leader 0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:49.760 had to say about the incident. 0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:52.040 Well, it's not something I would have done, but what 0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:54.480 I do know is yesterday people were very, very angry 0:01:54.680 --> 0:01:56.600 when it comes to the new taxes that are impacting 0:01:56.640 --> 0:01:58.160 on farms across Victoria. 0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:00.400 There is a reason that thousands of. 0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:03.760 Farmers came from all over Victoria with their fire trucks, 0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:07.080 with their uniforms to explain to the Victorian government that 0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:09.800 they are fed up with being the feeding cow for 0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:10.960 this government's budget. 0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:14.800 But Premier just Center Allen was outraged by the incident. 0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:21.520 The couple of Liberal politicians acted in a disgraceful inappropriate 0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:27.040 way in a workplace, in the parliamentary workplace. Well, I 0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:31.080 condemn that behavior. You know who hasn't condemned that behavior? 0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:33.559 The leader of the opposition, Brad Batton. 0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:36.840 Joining me now is senior fellow at the Mensies Research Center. 0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:40.240 Nick cat I've got to say it is a refreshing 0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:43.320 change to have a liberal leader who actually sticks up 0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:47.400 for his MPs like his unlike his predecessor. But what 0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:51.240 do you think about this entire incident, this manure stunt. 0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:55.919 Whenever somebody on the left called something inappropriate, it really 0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:57.880 wants to to make you want to do more of it, 0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:00.480 doesn't it really? And that you know in the end, 0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:03.399 I mean, what Bev MacArthur and her colleague were doing 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:07.880 were delivering a message from the farming community that just 0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:11.880 sind Allen has just not been listening to. I'll be surprised, actually, incidentally, 0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:13.840 if she even knew what was in the box without 0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:16.160 being told, because I don't think she's ever been out 0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:18.480 to a farm or to the country. So she behaves 0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:22.079 like somebody who's got no regard whatsoever for our farmers 0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:25.639 and has stick to this completely unfair tax on them 0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:30.120 for firefighting and so forth, when they are the most 0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:35.040 assiduous volunteers during the firefighting season. Yeah, I just think 0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:39.400 she has she's absolutely deaf to anything that happens outside 0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:42.600 of outside of Melbourne. And if this is what it 0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:44.840 takes to get the message home, well let's bring a 0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:45.520 truckload in. 0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:53.240 Now to a rather bizarre accusation leveled at National's leader 0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:58.440 David Little Proud by the ABC's Patricia Carvellis, it's a question. 0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:00.360 I feel like there's a lot of blokes have been 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:00.960 asking questions. 0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:02.080 To be nice, if I coul asked some question. 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:03.720 Patricia Carvellos, thank you very much. 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:05.480 I've just observed this. 0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:07.640 I'd actually like to ask you, David Little Proud actually 0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:08.120 if you at mine. 0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:13.440 But Nick, the first question in that little press conference 0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:16.680 was asked by a woman, and a woman asked the 0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:22.240 question immediately before Patricia Carvellis's question. Indeed, I think there 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:26.240 were no fewer than five questions asked by women before 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:27.240 Carvella spoke. 0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:29.599 So you're getting back together? 0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:32.640 No, this all our time, the. 0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:35.880 Announcement of these portfolio allocations. 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:37.520 You can see that you've got the. 0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:41.400 Garments abilities like nuclear are I have got to go 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:43.599 to the legal party there under review, are about to 0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:45.440 be under review, the subject to review. 0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:47.400 If it is a no, what then? 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:50.760 Why was this decision made with haste? 0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:53.440 On Tuesday one McKenzie if we. 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:57.320 Ken Nick there seems to be an overeagerist to keep 0:04:57.360 --> 0:05:01.839 pushing this gender issue whether it exists or not. And 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:04.919 I would argue in that setting it certainly didn't exist 0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:10.440 because the female reporters were chiming in and asking the 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:12.400 questions as you'd expect them to. 0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:17.320 Yeah, I'm sick of this women explaining, you know, women 0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:20.000 thinking they could explain to us men, what's what you know? 0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:22.520 I mean, that's the sort of attitude here, isn't it. 0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:25.719 I'm a woman, I get special rights to ask questions 0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:28.919 before anybody else, and because I'm from the ABC, I 0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:33.200 asked really stupid ones. You know, it is just ridiculous 0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:36.480 that it has come to this, particularly when it's quite 0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:39.320 interested to see seven thirty Report. I've caught the seven 0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:42.800 thirty Report a couple of nights this week, when you know, 0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:48.760 a female host interviewed two female politicians, one of whom 0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:51.440 is a leader of the Liberal Party right now and 0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:55.400 perfectly normal nowadays, nobody sort of thought that's two women. 0:05:55.720 --> 0:06:00.400 I certainly didn't until Petia Carvellis raised this. I really 0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:05.480 really think that well, a bit weak beyond silly. 0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:09.760 I mean, I've had nights on this program where every 0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:13.080 guest is female. It's not typically the way, but it's 0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:17.279 never planned and it's never a box ticking exercise. You 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:19.599 just get who you want to speak to. I would 0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:21.760 have thought that would be the way to go. Now, 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:25.679 let's talk about Victorious on more. This week's Victorian state 0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:31.320 budget has revealed that the Victorians are paying more taxes 0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:34.760 than anywhere else. Victoria's taxes as a percentage of the 0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:39.000 economy have grown faster than any other state or territory, 0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:43.680 with Victoria's one point six percent hike making the state's 0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:47.919 taxes double the national average. And the Allen government is 0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:52.479 raking in a whopping forty six billion dollars each year 0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:57.400 through taxation. And yet we still have the biggest debt 0:06:57.640 --> 0:07:01.400 in the country, and we've got a interest bill that 0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:03.599 is approaching ten billion a year. 0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:07.360 It's astounding, isn't it. 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:11.040 I Mean, Victoria's a very fast growing state, large thanks 0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:15.000 largely to immigration, that's increasing revenue all the time. There's 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:19.840 no excuse for this sort of levee on the taxpayers 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:22.280 of Victoria, and I one of they're leaving and because 0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:23.960 you know, I mean, what does she do with the 0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:26.120 money here in New South Wales. I don't want you 0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:29.480 to get tunnel envy here as a Victorian, but we 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:32.920 now have the second longest road tunnel in the world. 0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:35.040 I think it'll soon be the longest when we finish 0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:38.280 the new Cross Harbor Tunnel, all done with no additional 0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:41.239 debt to the state, all done within budget, on time. 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:43.560 How can we can do it in New South Wales 0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:46.560 and they can't do it in Victoria. It just seems 0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:48.920 to me that there's a degree of incompetence which is 0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:53.280 entrenched in the way the Victorian government operates. And it 0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:55.400 really is. You know, if there's anywhere we need a 0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:58.080 doge in Australia, it's Victoria. 0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:03.080 Oh you'd have a You'd have a lot of fun 0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:05.680 if you had that role here. There is a lot 0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:09.760 of bureaucratic fat to cut moving along now. Former Prime 0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:15.360 Ministerial Indigenous Policy Advisor and Elder Roy Ac has worn 0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:20.720 that fringe activists establishing dissident groups to block major projects 0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:24.640 and delegitimize the network of one hundred and twenty one 0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:27.920 land councils across New South Wales that are by law 0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:32.360 the representative bodies for Indigenous people. This comes nick after 0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:35.840 the former Environment Minister Tania plivsec listen to one of 0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:39.559 these fringe disis groups when making the decision to block 0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:44.480 Regis's one point three billion dollar gold mine proposal. Nick, 0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:49.000 you'll remember the orange Land Council warned Plivasec that there 0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:52.120 was no evidence for the activist group's claims that the 0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:56.400 gold mine would disrupt a blue banded be dreaming story, 0:08:56.520 --> 0:09:01.719 but she disregarded their advice and lock the mining project. 0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:05.959 And this would have delivered tens of millions in royalties 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:09.200 for the New South Wales government, so many well paying 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:12.960 jobs in a regional area. What do you make of 0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:16.120 this issue, because it's not just isolated to this particular 0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:18.000 mine and this particular project. 0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:20.200 No. 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:23.280 I'm glad roy I See has called this out because 0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:25.800 we've been noticing this for a long time. Blainey being 0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:28.600 the most obvious example where there's sort of pop up 0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:33.679 aboriginal representative body can suddenly block this very lucrative project 0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:36.200 that would have brought wealth and royalties and everything else 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:40.440 to Australia, and Tanye Plibersek was silly enough to fall 0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:42.480 for it. I mean, did you really think this was 0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:47.400 a genuine group that represented anybody other than a handful 0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:50.439 of activists. But the thing is, it's become lucrative reacher. 0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:50.880 That's it. 0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:53.800 I mean, if you've managed to form one of these 0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:57.560 organizations and convince people that you are not in any 0:09:57.559 --> 0:09:59.959 of the arrest but you are actually the original owners 0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:02.720 of that land. So if you want to do something like, 0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:05.440 for instance, the bath thirst two thousands, you'd have to 0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:06.960 spend you'd have to give us. 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:09.800 Lots and lots of money in order to run this thing. 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:13.440 It really has become a money making engine on the 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:16.200 one hand, and on the other hand, it's become a 0:10:16.240 --> 0:10:21.320 way for activists, largely environmental activists, to block projects which 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:24.520 are perfectly good and perfectly sound and will bring lots 0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:27.200 of wealth and jobs to Australia, but they don't like 0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:28.640 it for one reason or another. 0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:37.439 You know, it's they're almost always they're almost always anti development, 0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:42.600 whatever the development is. The politics of these groups are 0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:45.640 very similar across the board, Nick Cata, thank you so 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:50.080 much for your time tonight. Thank you joining me now 0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:53.480 is best selling author Douglas Murray. His latest book on 0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:57.559 democracies and death cults Israel in the Future of Civilization 0:10:58.400 --> 0:11:02.680 has hit the shelves. Get yourself as a copy Douglas. 0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:06.240 We had some extraordinary scenes today in the Oval Office 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:10.040 where President Donald Trump, in front of the media sought 0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:14.120 to shame the South African president with the ugly truth 0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:18.200 of the anti white, anti boa racism and violence in 0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:22.000 his country. He played a clip showing, among other things, 0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:36.199 politicians calling for white farmers to be killed. Astonishing killed 0:11:36.200 --> 0:11:39.480 the boa killed the farmer. Douglas. The South African president 0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:43.280 claimed that anti white violence wasn't an issue, and then 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:49.840 he was played fairly lengthy video showing otherwise, that's right. 0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:53.400 By the way, the position the South African president had 0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:59.600 there must be now the least desirable seat in any 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:02.360 politic or meeting. I think you could see in his 0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:05.880 face that he thought, oh no, it's going to be 0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:11.960 Zelenski mark two. It was a fascinating exchange and of 0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:16.600 course the denial from the South African government is not new. 0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:20.760 This is something that they have done for years. They've 0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:23.080 allowed the most appalling anti. 0:12:22.760 --> 0:12:25.520 White racism to go on in their country. 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:30.360 They still, all these decades after the end of apartheid, 0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:35.880 find it very very useful and indeed easy to allow 0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:41.760 anti white racism to run rampant and often with lethal consequences. 0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:45.559 I'm very glad that President Trump did call this out. 0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:50.200 It's maybe only President Trump among all world leaders, really 0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:54.280 could have done so, and done so so forcefully. But 0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:57.640 I would just look to the backlash that I would 0:12:57.679 --> 0:13:02.559 expect in the coming day for much of the media internationally, 0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:06.680 not just in South Africa about this. I've already seen that, 0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:10.560 you know, papers like The Guardian are saying, you know, 0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:17.720 Donald Trump pushing conspiracy theories about the killing white South 0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:19.120 African farmers. 0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:20.600 And I'd expect a lot more of that. 0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:24.400 They will join in the denial that the South African 0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:27.760 government has so gleefully engaged in for so. 0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:28.880 Many years. 0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:36.120 Now. The South African President Cyril Ramafosa bought golfers Ernie 0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:39.679 Els and Retief Goosen to the White House with him 0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:43.520 to I guess, diffuse tensions with the Trump administration. We 0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:48.480 know Donald Trump loves his golf, but it didn't go well. Douglas. 0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:53.080 Listen here as Goosen recounts his own family's story, adding 0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:58.280 further weight to Trump's claims about violence against white farmers. 0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:03.400 Yeah, some of these buddy farmer's got killed. The farm 0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:04.280 is still going. 0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:07.120 My brother has run it, but it's a constant battle 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:09.800 of farms trying to get They're trying to burn the 0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:12.480 farms down to chase you away. 0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:16.600 Douglas, You're right about the media. They're already melt down mode, 0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:20.080 trying to claim this issue isn't real, and the usual 0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:24.440 suspects are pushing this notion that any concern for this 0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:25.920 issue means you're racist. 0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:30.640 Yes, well, that's something that much of the media has 0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:32.920 done for a very long time about that. There are 0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:37.920 even politicians in America today who are saying, why would 0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:42.240 President Trump push this issue as opposed to all of 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:47.240 the other murders, massacres, human rights abuses that go on. 0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:47.920 Around the world. 0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:50.840 And there's an obvious answer to that, which is that 0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:54.240 there are actually a lot of people who speak about 0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:59.480 a lot of issues. Speaking about it and doing something 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:03.080 course two very different things. But what President Trump has 0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:06.680 picked up here is one of those issues which other 0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:07.760 political leaders do. 0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:08.960 Not want to talk about. 0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:13.520 There are always, as it were, popular human rights issues, 0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:19.800 popular human rights abuses for politicians to latch onto. A 0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:24.120 look at the way in which the French, British Canadian 0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:27.560 governments have been obsessing for the last week, as indeed 0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:31.640 for the last eighteen months about the exact amount of 0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:35.200 nutrition that people in Gaza have had access to in 0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:39.280 recent days. They do that because of a constituency at 0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:42.120 home that they believe wants to hear that, and because 0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:45.240 they believe that it burnishes their credentials as people at 0:15:45.240 --> 0:15:49.200 the forefront of liberal human rights issues. In fact, it 0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:52.240 takes far more guts to do what President Trump has 0:15:52.280 --> 0:15:54.600 done today, and as well as all of the other 0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:57.920 issues that he's highlighted and that many other leaders have highlighted, 0:15:58.200 --> 0:16:02.840 highlight one that has been icuously ignored by people who 0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:06.480 would otherwise hold themselves out as great defenders of human 0:16:06.600 --> 0:16:07.760 rights around the world. 0:16:10.120 --> 0:16:14.240 And you could suggest it's been ignored precisely because of race. 0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:18.160 So those claims are racism. Yeah, those making it perhaps 0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:21.280 need to look in the mirror. Now to another case 0:16:21.320 --> 0:16:25.200 of censorship and frankly madness in the UK, where a 0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:29.840 retired policeman was arrested and handcuffed in his own home 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:34.560 by six police officers, six officers from Kent Police, the 0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:38.200 same force he served for around the decade, and his 0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:41.640 crime well, he tweeted something warning about the threat of 0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:46.880 anti semitism in Britain as the Telegraph reports police bodycam 0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:50.720 camera footage captured officers scrutinizing the seventy one year old's 0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:54.240 collection of books by authors such as Douglas Murray and 0:16:54.360 --> 0:16:58.480 issues of The Spectator, pointing to what they described as 0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:04.080 and I quote very bricksity things. Douglas, what is going 0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:05.280 on in your motherland? 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:10.480 It's pretty amazing, you know, Rita Like U, I sort 0:17:10.480 --> 0:17:13.719 of think I can't be shocked by the denigration of 0:17:13.840 --> 0:17:15.560 the British police and the British state. 0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:17.680 And then here, you know, you wake. 0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:20.800 Up one morning and discover that police have gone into 0:17:20.880 --> 0:17:24.440 a man's house and are rummaging through his bookshelves and 0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:28.240 accusing him of effectively wrong think. The man that they 0:17:28.600 --> 0:17:32.480 briefly handcuffed and then took down to the police station 0:17:32.680 --> 0:17:37.320 for hours of questioning had obviously extremely good taste. 0:17:36.960 --> 0:17:37.920 In reading material. 0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:41.040 He not only had my international best seller of the 0:17:41.080 --> 0:17:44.160 War in the West, he had copies of the Spectator magazine. 0:17:44.200 --> 0:17:46.919 This means that this is one ex policeman at any 0:17:47.000 --> 0:17:49.720 rate who's definitely thinking. 0:17:49.359 --> 0:17:51.560 About the right things and reading the right things. 0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:55.159 But what an extraordinary thing it is that people in 0:17:55.160 --> 0:17:57.680 Britain have to live in a society where that would happen. 0:17:57.720 --> 0:18:00.440 And I can tell you something Rita like you. 0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:04.240 If the police went into people's houses and rumi's through 0:18:04.280 --> 0:18:10.240 their bookcases and found copies of some badly selling left 0:18:10.240 --> 0:18:17.760 wing magazine and some left wing author's latest book, I 0:18:17.840 --> 0:18:20.240 would be incensed by that as well. The police have 0:18:20.280 --> 0:18:23.320 absolutely no darn right to do this sort of thing 0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:27.159 from any political direction, but you know, of course they 0:18:27.200 --> 0:18:29.960 think they can in this occasion. There's one thing that 0:18:30.000 --> 0:18:31.680 does need to be said in this region. I said 0:18:31.680 --> 0:18:34.479 this in the spectator of the magazine that the police 0:18:34.480 --> 0:18:37.560 in Britain don't want you to read, apparently despite it 0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:41.560 being Britain's best selling and oldest weekly magazine. 0:18:42.200 --> 0:18:44.720 There's something that has to be said. Kent police, who 0:18:44.760 --> 0:18:46.160 had your audacity to. 0:18:46.160 --> 0:18:50.600 Do this, have solved in areas over which they have control, 0:18:51.200 --> 0:18:52.359 zero burglaries. 0:18:52.400 --> 0:18:54.920 I'll do it again, zero burglaries. 0:18:55.240 --> 0:18:59.399 In areas where there have been hundreds of home break ins, 0:19:00.240 --> 0:19:05.119 police have managed to solve none of those crimes, not one. 0:19:05.280 --> 0:19:06.800 So maybe there is a. 0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:11.720 Correlation, isn't there between a police force that cannot police 0:19:11.800 --> 0:19:15.080 crime and a police force that would like to go 0:19:15.160 --> 0:19:18.560 around to a retired police officer's house and rummage through 0:19:18.560 --> 0:19:22.639 his bookcases and articles relating to his late daughter's death 0:19:23.000 --> 0:19:25.199 in a hit and run accident that was never solved. 0:19:25.440 --> 0:19:29.919 Maybe maybe they do that stuff because they can't do 0:19:30.119 --> 0:19:30.720 their job. 0:19:31.359 --> 0:19:33.800 And that's the collection that I would. 0:19:33.600 --> 0:19:37.119 Like to see more people call out, not just this 0:19:37.359 --> 0:19:40.359 thought policing, but the fact that the thought policing or 0:19:40.359 --> 0:19:43.720 the would be thought policing is done by police forces 0:19:43.840 --> 0:19:47.280 that seem to have no ability to do actual policing. 0:19:50.440 --> 0:19:54.120 Absolutely, and that is a widespread issue in Britain. Isn't 0:19:54.119 --> 0:19:58.119 it the failure of the police force to solve crimes, 0:19:58.240 --> 0:20:03.360 real crimes like breaking and acts of violence. Meanwhile, we've 0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:07.080 got Kirs Starmer, the Prime Minister. Well, he's in danger 0:20:07.080 --> 0:20:09.640 of being arrested with some of the commentary he's been 0:20:09.680 --> 0:20:14.680 tweeting Douglas extraordinary stuff. It seems to be morphing into 0:20:14.760 --> 0:20:18.440 Donald Trump if his work on x is to be believed. 0:20:18.440 --> 0:20:21.440 In the past couple of weeks, he's posted about coming 0:20:21.520 --> 0:20:24.760 for illegal immigrants. He said he'll put Britain first, and 0:20:24.840 --> 0:20:29.119 and the reliance to cheap overseas labor that's taking jobs 0:20:29.160 --> 0:20:32.240 from Brits. He posted, if you want to live in 0:20:32.280 --> 0:20:36.640 the UK, you should speak English. That's common sense, bravo. 0:20:37.440 --> 0:20:40.320 He also said settlement in the UK is a privilege 0:20:41.359 --> 0:20:44.200 that has to be earned, it's not a right. And 0:20:44.400 --> 0:20:47.600 he also said this about strong borders, that the Tories 0:20:47.720 --> 0:20:51.120 lost control of our borders and let net migrations saw 0:20:51.160 --> 0:20:55.240 to record levels, undercutting hard working Brits. I won't stand 0:20:55.280 --> 0:20:59.639 for a douglass the Prime Minister going to get a 0:20:59.720 --> 0:21:03.159 visit from the Constabulary for these sorts of non crime 0:21:03.480 --> 0:21:06.080 hate incidents, because that is a real thing in Britain. 0:21:07.000 --> 0:21:11.679 I'm frankly a little bit surprised by how he's become 0:21:11.800 --> 0:21:13.920 some right wing reactionary. 0:21:15.200 --> 0:21:17.560 Well, of course, if anyone else has said this, if 0:21:17.600 --> 0:21:19.720 I'd have said this, or you'd have said this, Rita, 0:21:20.400 --> 0:21:22.840 I'm sure Kis Starmer and his police force would take 0:21:22.840 --> 0:21:25.679 a different view. But of course I don't believe a 0:21:25.720 --> 0:21:28.639 word of it. First of all, it's perfectly true the 0:21:28.720 --> 0:21:32.560 last Conservative government lost control of the borders, absolutely true. 0:21:32.720 --> 0:21:35.440 It's also true though that Kiss Starmer has lost control 0:21:35.600 --> 0:21:38.840 of the borders. Almost a thousand people came in a 0:21:38.840 --> 0:21:41.840 couple of days ago and one day alone on the 0:21:41.840 --> 0:21:44.840 illegal just on the illegal crossings across the Channel on 0:21:45.720 --> 0:21:52.640 boats organized by criminal gangs. When he says that it's 0:21:52.680 --> 0:21:55.840 not a right to land in Britain and just stay, 0:21:56.080 --> 0:22:00.320 he's right, it's just something anyone can do. However, it's 0:22:00.359 --> 0:22:03.160 just something that nobody in his government or his border 0:22:03.240 --> 0:22:04.080 force are doing. 0:22:03.920 --> 0:22:05.160 Anything to stop. 0:22:05.880 --> 0:22:09.959 They behave as though it's impossible to stop tens of 0:22:10.040 --> 0:22:14.240 thousands of people arriving just across the channel every year illegally, 0:22:14.480 --> 0:22:17.439 let alone the hundreds of thousands of other people who 0:22:17.560 --> 0:22:21.240 arrive in the UK every year legally and illegally and 0:22:21.320 --> 0:22:26.080 get net migration up almost a million in the last 0:22:26.160 --> 0:22:28.879 couple of years. But just as I say, this is 0:22:28.880 --> 0:22:32.640 the most cynical, cynical tactic, and I at any rate 0:22:32.760 --> 0:22:34.359 don't believe a word of. 0:22:34.280 --> 0:22:38.360 What Keir Starmer says. I have heard politician after politician. 0:22:38.200 --> 0:22:43.160 Labor and Conservative say this for decades. They always say 0:22:43.200 --> 0:22:46.720 the same pabulum. They say when they feel like they 0:22:46.760 --> 0:22:49.800 might need to just sort of enforce the base of it. 0:22:49.880 --> 0:22:52.600 They say these things like I think that people should 0:22:52.640 --> 0:22:56.120 speak English if they come to England, and everyone's meant 0:22:56.160 --> 0:22:58.440 to say, my gosh, what an amazing breakthrough. 0:22:58.600 --> 0:23:00.720 It doesn't matter a dance if. 0:23:00.560 --> 0:23:03.720 You're losing your country all the time because you don't 0:23:03.840 --> 0:23:05.240 enforce your borders. 0:23:05.800 --> 0:23:08.480 This is as I don't even know if Kis. 0:23:08.200 --> 0:23:11.520 Starmer has seen these tweets. I'm sure he doesn't write them. 0:23:11.880 --> 0:23:14.879 His own Home Secretary and Foreign Secretary and others have 0:23:15.040 --> 0:23:18.840 distanced themselves from the language he's used himself. But it's 0:23:18.960 --> 0:23:22.680 just language games, Rita, That's all it is. It's language games. 0:23:22.840 --> 0:23:26.720 They don't do anything not in the real world. Thousands 0:23:26.800 --> 0:23:31.520 of people will continue to break into Britain every week illegally, 0:23:32.080 --> 0:23:35.800 and in the meantime, what do we have Kiirs Starmer, 0:23:36.160 --> 0:23:39.719 the brave tweeter? Well, as you say, Rita, it's lucky 0:23:39.760 --> 0:23:42.959 that he's Prime Minister and not, for instance, a white 0:23:43.200 --> 0:23:46.240 or a working class mother in the North of England, 0:23:46.320 --> 0:23:48.959 or otherwise he'd be having his collar felt this evening. 0:23:51.119 --> 0:23:54.760 Absolutely, Douglas, before you go, you've written a superb piece 0:23:54.800 --> 0:23:58.760 for the Telegraph about America's left his media paying a 0:23:58.880 --> 0:24:03.080
