welcome back to the kais report I'm
definitely not Max Kaiser time now to
turn to George Galloway the respect
party Member of Parliament for Bradford
West wonderful to see you wonderful to
appear with the real star of the show
well you are crowdfunding your campaign
for the general election 2015 and of
course we had to have a feminine touch
because I've been watching Emily matless
on BBC News night asking these very soft
questions of the likes of Ed Balls and
the labor party representatives and the
Tory party representatives and one thing
that really struck me was that this
notion that somehow big business has to
support you otherwise you're not a
legitimate candidate yes Once Upon a
Time labor would have won as a badge of
honor but now that it's all balls uh the
labor party I'm afraid uh the animal has
changed we don't have any big business
backers we don't even have any Trade
union backers if I funded my election
campaigns myself they'd say it was being
bought by Moscow gold as an RT presenter
and so on so we've gone the Democratic
group and hundreds of people so far have
donated amount small um medium uh and
we've still a bit to go I think there's
about 18 days to go uh to reach the
target of
20,000 and we're confident that we will
reach that we're standing in many other
parts of the country and our candidates
don't have the same opportunity to raise
money as I do because they don't yet
have the profile so this 20,000 of
course will be used for our election
campaign generally as well as my own
reelection one of the things that Emy
matless was actually uh forced to ask Ed
Balls was like what's wrong with being
on the side of the working class and the
and the workers why why not do that well
the the clue is in the name Labor uh but
it definitely doesn't do what it says on
the tin uh Once Upon a time the labor
party came into being 110 years ago or
so to represent the people who were not
the business class indeed they were
constituted precisely to counterbalance
the overweening power of finance and
capital and the employers and so on but
somewhere along the way they have
morphed they they have morphed from a
butterfly back to a slug we've seen that
across Europe of course it doesn't
matter it's a party of the left or the
right they ended up being neoliberal
which is all the same and about big
business and supporting big business and
big Banks um but we've seen with Serita
and podos this rise of this new sort of
uh anti-austerity parties and of course
in the United Kingdom you've had a lot
of austerity for the very lower class uh
could do you see any sort of serito
pamus like parties are emerging here
well it's definitely potentially
possible uh uh there's us we're the red
part there's the greens they're the
green part uh and of course the point
you make is is is is The $64,000 one
that every time Ed milleran criticizes
the excesses of the city and the banks
and the donor class uh the Prime
Minister bats it back with well this all
happened on your watch
HSBC if there were any crimes involved
if there were any crimes involved they
all happened when Gordon Brown was at
the tra jury and Tony Blair was at
number 10 Downing Street and this is a
fatal flaw in Labor's critique the
reason the bankers were able to take us
off the cliff was because of the
deregulation the light touch regulation
the Bonanza which Blair and brown
presided over in unleashing the dogs of
uh naked in tooth and Claw free market
capitalism in the first half of the show
we covered the fact that there was a 12
person r Squad of police that uh knocked
on the door of some possible benefit
cheats in Cen yet with this story about
HSBC you say if a crime was committed
but of course even if a crime were
committed if the legal Injustice system
here don't investigate it did it ever
happen at all well I'm looking across
the river here at the city of London
where there have been precious few
arrests if you picked somebody's pocket
in Liverpool Street Station you'd be
behind bars pretty damn quick but if you
picked a million 100 million 200 million
a billion uh out of the financial system
and thereby brought the country to ruin
and years and years of austerity which
is another word for slump and Savage
Cuts in people's standards of living
well you probably get put in the House
of Lords well we talked about that as a
form of benefit cheating so the the top
1% the elite the bankers the the the
sort of corporate class have received
the benefits of 0% interest rates of
bank bailouts but Pages since Tony Blair
has actually become a form of benefits
that they get handed this benefit of a
page and get to Lord it over everybody
else suddenly they're a Lord and the
likes of Step green who was ordinary
Steven green and even after David
Cameron saw the documentary evidence of
what may or may not be a crime but
certainly is pretty dodgy rampant
immorality was uh in the House of Lords
last night for a meeting and I was
astonished at the kind of Lounge
creepers brothel keep creepers we used
to call them uh that were uh wafting
around quite evidently now Lords of the
realm and one or two ladies I didn't
recognize any of them uh none of them
have ever done anything in public life
yet they are sitting in Parliament for
the rest of their lives without anyone
ever having cast a vote for them and the
reason they're there is almost certainly
because they purchased a tennis match
with the prime minister or uh or lent
their uh their swimming pool to the
leader of the opposition or Andor gave
very large sums of money uh to the
political process and the HSBC Scandal
has turned up Lords are leaping they're
leaping everywhere people I had never
even heard of didn't even know were
Lords Lord thinkink I mean can you
believe it there's someone called lord
thinkink uh and and and he's in the
House of Lords why well we can all guess
why somebody who's not yet in the House
of Lords but probably one day will be is
Tony Blair you have uh the most
successful crowdfunding campaign for a
film in UK history was your film the
killings of Tony Blair uh how much did
you raise what's going on with that film
and what tell us some of the shocking
stuff that you first of all he won't go
to the House of Lords because if he did
he would have to register his earnings
and the one man in Britain who cannot
possibly register his earnings is Tony
Blair because as this film will show
he's working for every tyranny every
dictatorship every military Juna every
grubby dirty rapacious corporation that
you could possibly imagine and more uh
the Sunday Times revealed the story we
were going to reveal that uh the son of
the former king of Saudi Arabia was
paying him $80,000 a month as a retainer
and a 2% cut on any deals that he did
now one of the deals done by that oil
company was with China and it was worth
$1 billion 2% of $1 billion is a lot of
money now Tony Blair his name is already
mud can you imagine if he had to sit
there with a pen a quill on a piece of
House of Lords notep paper and uh
register all of this uh we set out
dealing with the killings of Tony Blair
the killing of the labor party as we
knew it and we've just been discussing
the killing of a million people in Iraq
and Afghanistan and elsewhere by
extension but the really startling and
surprising thing is the financial
killing that he has been making and it
will make your eyes water I thought
nothing could shock me about Tony Blair
but he's become uh the male equivalent
of a Call Girl he sits there waiting for
the phone to ring and the only question
that matters is can you afford me not
how many people you've killed how many
journalists you've locked up how many
people you're torturing none of that
matters to Tony Blair he'll put lipstick
on any pig as long as the price is right
well speaking of lipsticks on pigs he
also works for uh JP Morgan his first
immediately after walking out of down
street he is suddenly paid 2 and half
million pounds for he became a
multi-millionaire within 1 minute of
resigning from from Parliament one
minute he was hired instantaneously on2
million but I've got to tell you Stacy
that's small small beer loose change for
Tony Blair the highest uh published
estimation of the money he's made in the
last s years is1 million but I'm ready
to tell you it's very very very much
more than that seven fat years for the
Middle East P Envoy seven lean years for
the people he's supposed to be serving
what about the population here in
America that's not really allowed only
because of the population gets it's very
divided right left but you know
whichever side you're on the opposite
they'll be very um vocal expressing
disdain for your making so much money
Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton are one
they've made $ hundred million since he
left office so uh there it's constantly
covered in the news there it's
constantly attacked what is the problem
here is that the liable why why want
people discuss no it's the Ironclad
consensus on the two front benches that
this is the kind of career path they
want for themselves Max himself uh
coined the phrase that being the Prime
Minister used to be the Acme the the
Apex of anyone's life anyone's career
but now as Max put it it's just a stop
on your resume and one day uh as our
Prime Ministers and leaders get younger
and younger they've got longer and
longer uh to go in their business career
one day both David Cameron and Ed Miland
hope to be in the same league that's why
fewer of them will ever go to the House
of Lords because of the need to register
the interests the wealth the earnings uh
that you have far from registering his
earnings Tony Blair has surrounded them
in the thickest of Hedges most of which
he legislated to grow uh just in time I
mean it was you've got a hand it to him
he introduced several reforms which have
now grown by the time he needs them to
Shield him shade him from the spotlight
of public interest but where there's a
will there's a way and all kinds of
whistleblowers and experts have been
coming forward for our film and exposing
the the avarice the greed uh it's beyond
the dreams of avarest the I mean the
these are two people Cheree Blair and
Tony Blair who were never rich and now
they must look back on those days and
wonder Barack Obama was one of the first
to crowdfund a campaign I would say he
raised almost a billion dollars from
$510 you're only seeking 20,000 on start
join.com should you become Prime
Minister say that one day you ended up
as prime minister of the United Kingdom
what would you do differently than Tony
Blair or David Cameron well uh it would
be rather emptier over there uh than it
is now cuz half of them would be in jail
you're not talking about the Tower of
London well the Tower of London is an
enticing prospect there is a traitor
gate there where they uh used to strap
people to a pole and wait for the rising
tide to drown them uh but that's
probably a cruel and unusual punishment
and I don't approve of capital
punishment anyway but a lot of them in
their betrayal of the country have gone
far further than any KGB spies inside
the British establishment ever did their
betrayal of the interests of our country
has been almost total and our country's
in a big mess now we've been in a mess
before in 1940 and 1941 were standing
alone against Hitler uh who was just
across the channel there uh but at least
a leadership emerged that knew what had
to be done and was ready to do it even
to the point of as Mr chill said if
we're left lying here on the cabinet
floor choking in our own blood We Will
Never Surrender we don't have that kind
of leadership anymore and we very very
badly need it well there you have it
good luck with your Camp you thanks very
much and that's it for this edition of
the kais Report with me Stacy Herbert
and that guy Max sker who's left I'd
like to thank Our Guest George Galloway
A Member of Parliament for Bradford West
