In order to fight globalism, to fight neo-Marxism, we must go to international partners. It s kind of an irony, because how can you have a stance against globalism and yet be working with an international alliance of anti-Marxist globalists?
00:02:35.760Why is it that in order to fight globalism, to fight the global neo-Marxist left, that we must go to international partners?
00:02:48.600It's kind of an irony, I understand it, because how can you have a stance against globalism and yet be working with an international alliance of anti-globalists?
00:03:01.420Because that's the only way you can smash this.
00:03:07.680And when you can find allies in your fight, you must make alliances with those allies.
00:03:14.360Whether those alliances be from the United Kingdom, whether they be from Hungary, whether they be from Poland, from Spain, from the Netherlands, from Italy, from Germany, wherever they are.
00:03:27.760If you are with me, standing with me in the fight against neo-Marxist globalism, then you are my ally.
00:03:37.440And of course, we're going to be going to other places.
00:04:00.060When you're in one of the places, particularly in Europe, in the United States, and in Canada, you are faced with the rise of globalism.
00:04:11.360And the escalation of our world into a conflict that could culminate in World War III.
00:04:21.580Israel and Iran have bombed each other for the very first time, openly and publicly.
00:04:27.600Now, fortunately, that did not metastasize into World War III.
00:04:33.440And yet, the question is, are we going to go down the path of peace?
00:04:37.920Are we going to go down the path of re-electing Donald J. Trump and establishing peaceful deterrence?
00:04:45.740Or are we going to continue down the path of Joe Biden, Mike Johnson, and so many others that have pushed us further towards the brink of annihilation?
00:07:38.540Very honored to welcome here, first time on Human Events Daily, the former conservative prime minister of the United Kingdom, Liz Truss, joins us to tell us all about her new book.
00:07:50.940Prime Minister, we're very honored to have you on today.
00:08:22.040They've been infiltrating our institutions with woke ideology.
00:08:27.620We're seeing problems on our borders in both the United States and the United Kingdom.
00:08:33.180And left-wing ideas have become so fashionable that people in corporations, people in our universities, people even in the government institutions and the bureaucracy,
00:08:47.580it's the only way they know how to think.
00:08:50.280And that's why it was great to be at CPAC and hear real conservatives who are prepared to make conservative arguments and help save our countries, because that is the real threat.
00:09:00.760The left is undermining our way of life.
00:09:04.000Well, I'd love to dig into you specifically on that question of how the bureaucracy operates.
00:09:10.980And in your book, Ten Years to Save the West, now, I'll say that, you know, the administrative state is something that we both face here in the U.S. and in the U.K.
00:09:20.600I'm more familiar with the administrative state of the United States.
00:09:24.100I'm a former Navy intelligence officer.
00:09:26.320I served in the intel community, worked in Washington, D.C. for many years in that capacity, briefing people at the Pentagon.
00:09:32.800And I could see how intelligence was taken from either the battlefield or the sources of collection and then brought to the Capitol.
00:09:42.920And then it was massaged for political purposes so that whoever the appointed political leaders, it seemed, of the agencies or the various political appointees of the government,
00:09:53.760would then go to the president and tell them essentially what they wanted to hear.
00:09:58.160Now, I admit, I'm not as familiar with the administrative state in the U.K.
00:10:03.780However, I will say that I've watched almost every season of Yes Minister.
00:10:09.200Well, in Yes Minister, sometimes Sir Humphrey wins and sometimes the prime minister wins.
00:10:16.700In real life, the bureaucracy is winning every time because it's got a lot worse in Britain.
00:10:22.760And if you think you've got a problem with the administrative state in America, the president gets to appoint 3,000 people into his administration.
00:10:33.680In Britain, the prime minister is only able to appoint 100 people.
00:11:07.960And it's created a massive disconnect between what the public wants and what politicians are actually able to deliver because our hands are tied by the administrative bureaucracy.
00:11:20.100Now, in the United States, one of the ways that we've seen the rise of this is through what we see is a joining of the hip of the administrative state as well as, and we're seeing this across the United States just today as we look at these far left Gaza camps opening up on university campuses all across the country, seemingly overnight, clearly some kind of coordination going on.
00:11:49.360I'm sure there's a tick tock hashtag that's that's driving all of it or something like that, but clearly has some kind of coordination behind it wouldn't be happening spontaneously all on its own.
00:12:00.880But that said, you see this university came sure this academic capture, and that is not driven from the student up.
00:12:09.320It's actually driven from the faculty down.
00:12:12.160And I suppose my question to you, Prime Minister, is do you see a similar dynamic in the UK?
00:12:16.420Because once the academy goes woke, as it were, then the students go woke, and then those students march directly into the bureaucracy, and there you go.
00:12:27.580The entire institution, it sort of becomes this top-down approach.
00:12:31.600You're completely right, and it's become unacceptable now to have conservative views in universities, and anybody with those views ends up getting cancelled, they end up getting excluded, and so people conform, and they try and fit in.
00:12:47.960And what is appalling about the situation is these universities are being funded by the taxpayer.
00:12:54.060The student loan scheme is being funded by the taxpayer.
00:12:57.460So normal people across Britain and America are paying for this woke ideology, and what is going on in American universities is open anti-Semitism.
00:13:07.700And we are paying for that, and we are paying for that, and that is, that state cannot continue.
00:13:15.240And not only that, we're paying for it, but we're also subsidizing the education of those students, or lack of education, because I don't see them really attending their courses or working on their degree work while they're attending these campus camps, these Gaza camps.
00:13:32.080And yet, President Joe Biden here in the U.S. has announced yet another loan deferment, loan excuse program, whereby he's going to come in and wipe the slate clean for these student loans.
00:13:46.460He did this the very same program he announced the last time he was running for office.
00:13:51.460Of course, we're in an election year again, so it doesn't surprise me that he goes to the students and says that I will cancel your debt if you just come in and vote for me.
00:14:00.100But do you think that this represents, and I'm asking you to comment on U.S. politics a little bit, but it seems to me it represents a split between this idea that he's coming in and going for the student votes, but he's also embracing these extreme positions within his own party.
00:14:23.020Look at Title IX, that he's just signed off.
00:14:25.960The idea that it doesn't, you know, that if you were a girl, you could have male, male biological people in your school restrooms, in your school locker rooms, and there's nothing you can do about that.
00:14:39.760And it is because Biden is under huge pressure from the Democrat left.
00:15:27.700When you look at the civilization that the United States was able to put together, when you look at the achievements of the United Kingdom, it's very clear that those were found through the celebration of achievement, through the disciplineship and discipleship of excellence, of greatness,
00:15:51.220of actually achieving those things, of actually achieving those things and searching for those among the populace, bringing them into the institution, bringing them into the academy.
00:15:59.420This was the purpose for the academy system in the first place.
00:16:03.120And this is, of course, what produced the incredible, of course, the Industrial Revolution, all the advancements that we've seen in modernity.
00:16:11.240But the problem is, is that we seem to have gone completely away from those values in the name of a new set of values called wokeness.
00:16:21.020And here in the United States, we're already seeing a competence crisis just a few miles away from where we sit here in Washington, D.C.
00:16:29.280We had a major bridge on one of the most major ports of the United States destroyed because a ship crashed into it.
00:16:36.520There's now a criminal investigation of criminal negligence into this.
00:16:39.680And I can't help but think that our drive towards equality and diversity and wokeness has gotten in the way of the basic running of our societies.
00:16:52.960Well, the values that we hold dear, the idea that people should be free to think and speak as they believe, the belief in truth, all of these have been undermined by neo-Marxist thinking.
00:17:06.080It was people like Foucault, which became fashionable in the 60s and 70s, who essentially said there's no objective reality.
00:17:14.440Well, there is an objective reality. Men are men and women are women.
00:17:18.900Our civilization, the United Kingdom, the United States have a proud history.
00:17:24.580But what these people are trying to do is deny those basic realities and those basic facts.
00:17:32.480And as you say, undermine everything from the basis of engineering to the basis of human biology.
00:17:40.540We are on with former Prime Minister Liz Truss.
00:17:43.980The book is 10 Years to Save the West.
00:21:00.520This this I feel so many times as though, you know, sit here and look at these these liberal governments like Joe Biden,
00:21:07.540who seem to think that they can placate both sides or in other cases they can push for escalation.
00:21:12.760And and how long is it going to take for people to simply wake up and say these ideas don't work?
00:21:19.920And this is actually something just talking electorally in the United States that there's an interesting situation because you have a president running against a former president.
00:21:29.020And so people can remember within, you know, just a couple of years ago, the world was not on the brink of World War Three.
00:21:36.400The economy was doing better pre covid.
00:21:38.440All of these things seem to be humming along and now they are all in the decline.
00:21:44.240And so I hope that's something where people can at least take this this A, B test and say this choice gets us this.
00:22:03.720So I was in the British cabinet under when Donald Trump was leader of the United States and when Joe Biden was leader of the United States.
00:22:12.820And it felt a lot safer with Donald Trump at the helm because our enemies were afraid of what he might do.
00:22:39.600But what we're also seeing is the aggressors overseas are taking advantage of that weakness and they are invading countries, threatening others.
00:22:50.980And what they're fundamentally threatening is our way of life here in the West.
00:22:55.360Well, and when I look at these these types of ways of thinking, but also these these power plays that are taking place over abroad, I have to remember.
00:23:07.460And so the book that I'm working on is all about this neo Marxist type of thinking.
00:23:12.260And people need to understand that the fundamental belief of a neo Marxist or a cultural Marxist or this new flavor of Marxism, their fundamental belief is not actually equality.
00:23:25.380It is not actually justice and human rights.
00:23:28.880In fact, they don't really believe in those things.
00:23:31.340Private property is certainly a right that they don't believe in.
00:23:33.820Go ask the Chinese communists what they think about private property.
00:23:36.240No, what they believe in is actually tearing down Western civilization, tearing down values like Christianity, like the values of the of the Holy Bible, tearing down the systems of law that have been erected over thousands of years of development.
00:23:55.600Why is it that you think that there are so many conservatives that aren't willing to simply call that out?
00:23:59.940Well, they think we're still dealing with the old left who were fighting battles about the economy, you know, unions, all those kind of things.
00:24:08.160They don't understand that the new left fundamentally hate our countries.
00:24:54.420I can I suppose I can sympathize or at least try to understand.
00:24:58.160And this is what what you're called to do is try to understand what's going on and that people don't want to actually believe that there are folks on the other side.
00:25:07.200And I'm not even talking liberals or centrists, moderates, this type of thing.
00:25:13.580I'm talking about a sliver of individuals that actually want to see Western civilization be brought down.
00:25:22.540They saw Western hegemony after the fall of the Cold War.
00:25:27.360We want Western hegemony to be destroyed.
00:25:31.080We want it to be to fall by the wayside.
00:25:33.860We don't like the West being able to tell everyone what they're able to do.
00:25:38.020You know, suddenly suddenly everyone's a colonizer.
00:25:40.680Suddenly everyone is responsible for all the ills of the world that have gone on since time immemorial.
00:25:46.360We're going to bring back every single thing in order specifically to undermine those societies.
00:25:52.480And I say this because we now live in a situation where you'll find people going around these campuses arguing about things that took place a century ago, two centuries ago.
00:26:04.800Meanwhile, there's no talk whatsoever.
00:26:06.980And this is why you have folks like Elon Musk who, you know, people have their different opinions on him.
00:26:12.400But my belief, and this is just having interacted with him and having read quite a lot of what's written about him, I think he genuinely wants to go to the stars.
00:26:23.380I think that is genuinely what he is focused on.
00:26:25.920I think that's the idea, that we should be going to the stars, that we should be seeking actual technological and scientific progress, not using science and technology to try to control our fellow citizens or to try to kind of micromanage society.
00:26:40.400But it feels as though we're caught in the grip of this ideology, as you say.
00:26:46.100And so many of our institutions have been caught in the grip of this ideology.
00:26:49.800So on the streets of London, we have people brandishing swastikas.
00:26:55.560We have people protesting in favor of Hamas, which is a terrorist organization.
00:26:59.800Now, these values are totally different from the values we hold dear in Britain.
00:27:05.380And they are trying to undermine our society because they hate Britain.
00:27:08.800And yet we have a police force that is reluctant to stand up to them because they have been brainwashed with this left-wing ideology, this politically correct ideology.
00:27:41.160And so many of the times when you reach back into these arguments, you find that the people pushing them don't actually quite believe the arguments that they're for.
00:27:49.360It's just like the original Marxists of the past, whether it be the Bolsheviks, whether it be Chairman Mao and the Maoists.
00:27:56.260It's they don't actually care about the equality.
00:27:58.260What they care about is locking up patriots and shutting up conservatives and silencing that debate.
00:28:02.940At least you've got the First Amendment in the United States that protects free speech.
00:28:09.640So we have in Scotland hate speech laws being introduced.
00:28:13.520There are basically about saying people not being able to say what they believe, not being able to say that they believe in biological sex, not being able to say that they believe in our country.
00:28:28.400Well, and this this is an incredible situation because here in the United States, we've seen at the state level, we've seen hate speech laws attempt to be put on the books.
00:28:40.380We've seen at the federal law, we've seen and at the federal level, instead of doing laws, what they'll do to try to get around the First Amendment.
00:28:48.100And they're obsessed with doing this here in the U.S. as well, because what they'll do is they'll say, well, it's it's not so much that it was that it was hate speech, but they'll use the guise of misinformation or disinformation or they'll say malinformation.
00:29:03.440Malinformation is my favorite one because malinformation is true information that happens to be negative for some protected group or something.
00:29:13.020So you can't say something that's true, even if it is demonstrably true and objectively true, because it goes against something that is in the prevailing narrative of political correctness.
00:29:22.780I I feel like I'm losing my mind every time I read about one of these things.
00:30:31.080The hidden tales of the communist history.
00:30:34.500Ladies and gentlemen, Human Events Daily is very excited to bring you to this special edition of Human Events.
00:31:04.480On the ground, CPAC Hungary in Budapest, Hungary.
00:31:08.760A CPAC Hungary szÃnpadán, Jack Pozovic.
00:31:12.120Good morning and greetings, CPAC Hungary. Greetings, Budapest.
00:31:34.000Thank you for being here, and greetings to all patriots, greetings to all believers, and of course, greetings to all Christians that are here today.
00:31:45.080My name is Jack Pozovic, and I welcome you to the most influential international conference standing for freedom and human rights in the world.
00:31:58.920As I speak to you in this beautiful city of Budapest, I tell you, we stand here today on the precipice of 100 years of victory.
00:32:12.080We are facing victory. We are facing victory.
00:32:14.160That is why our enemies are terrified of us.
00:32:20.140They are terrified of the speakers here, and they are terrified because they are losing.
00:32:25.580But outside, outside of Budapest, in places like Brussels and Davos and D.C., new assaults against our history, our values, and our very identity in Western society are committed under the cover of darkness.
00:32:42.920A darkness, a darkness like the Satan himself who created it, has many names, neoliberalism, global communism.
00:32:53.180We must understand communism is not an ideology.
00:32:58.540Communism is a criminal conspiracy, and it is a criminal conspiracy that we will investigate and prosecute just like all criminal communists that we find wherever we find them.
00:33:12.920The irony, of course, is that in order to fight global communism, we must form an international alliance of anti-globalists, and that is what we are here today.
00:33:28.220Because we have, as Ava said just before me, we've waited for too long.
00:33:34.040We've watched as our schools have turned into incubators of hatred.
00:33:37.460We've seen that hatred play out in these disgusting Gaza cities across American campuses today.
00:33:44.420Hatred as well of Christians, of straight people, of white people, of Europeans, of successful people.
00:33:51.500Hatred of our forefathers, hatred of our history, of those who founded the greatest nations on the face of the earth.
00:33:59.360Western civilization is the greatest achievement in all of history, and that achievement now is under threat.
00:34:07.780We've watched as laws were twisted into arbitrary mandates of the political class that are never applied to themselves or to violent criminals.
00:34:16.500As I stand before you today, and this wasn't even part of my speech, I woke up this morning and I found out that one of my best friends, the head of Turning Point Action,
00:34:28.520he is a co-host on my show, Thought Crime, that we hold every Thursday.
00:34:32.660His name is Tyler Boyer, and he was just indicted, as well as 12 others, for being supporters of Donald Trump,
00:34:42.980for being supporters of conservatism, for being patriots, and fighting back against a crooked election in 2020.
00:35:47.820We will never quit, and we will never be silenced, because for every single one of us that you silence, that you arrest, that you indict, you will create 100 more.
