1
00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:05,279
I'm George Galloway and I want to talk

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:08,200
to you about Donald Trump the

3
00:00:05,279 --> 00:00:11,320
president-elect of the United States

4
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:14,960
about Russia and about the state of Mass

5
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:18,119
hysteria that exists on both sides of

6
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:20,840
the Atlantic it turns out that it was

7
00:00:18,119 --> 00:00:23,359
Britain that was interfering in the

8
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:26,080
American presidential elections not

9
00:00:23,359 --> 00:00:28,439
Russia at least I've seen no evidence

10
00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:31,920
that Russia was but there's plenty of

11
00:00:28,439 --> 00:00:35,480
evidence emerging about the British rule

12
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:39,160
the press conference of Donald Trump in

13
00:00:35,480 --> 00:00:42,719
Washington yesterday was marked by a

14
00:00:39,160 --> 00:00:46,399
kind of Hysteria about a dossier a very

15
00:00:42,719 --> 00:00:49,920
interesting file which had been compiled

16
00:00:46,399 --> 00:00:52,079
by a British intelligence agent I can't

17
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:54,680
mention his name or else they'd have to

18
00:00:52,079 --> 00:00:58,120
kill me though it's easily accessible on

19
00:00:54,680 --> 00:01:00,960
the internet he is said to be a retired

20
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:03,640
British intelligent official although

21
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:06,920
I'm not sure that they ever really

22
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:10,400
retire from the service anyway he wrote

23
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:13,479
a report containing the most Fantastical

24
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:15,960
weird and wonderful stories about Donald

25
00:01:13,479 --> 00:01:19,240
Trump's conduct in Russia and in

26
00:01:15,960 --> 00:01:22,720
particular in a hotel in Moscow I won't

27
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:26,040
go into the details in case children or

28
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:29,920
old ladies are watching this but suffice

29
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:33,680
to say it went to the character issue of

30
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:36,720
Donald Trump and to his moral standing

31
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:39,880
it turned out that the dossier had been

32
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:43,720
passed to the United States through a

33
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:46,280
former British ambassador to Moscow that

34
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:49,920
former Ambassador has not yet been

35
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:53,479
identified but can only be one of seven

36
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:56,200
such former ambassadors and that former

37
00:01:53,479 --> 00:01:59,479
Ambassador gave it to the leader of the

38
00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:00,640
war party in Washington Senator John

39
00:01:59,479 --> 00:02:04,000
mckin

40
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:07,479
who will not be happy until mushroom

41
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:11,840
clouds are again sprouting in the world

42
00:02:07,479 --> 00:02:15,680
and mcain gave it to the head of the FBI

43
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:19,440
the CIA put it in a security briefing

44
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:22,879
they either did as they say or didn't As

45
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:26,120
Trump says present it to president-elect

46
00:02:22,879 --> 00:02:31,319
Trump when the heads of the spy agencies

47
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:34,120
met him a few days ago now this dossier

48
00:02:31,319 --> 00:02:38,360
fell apart very quickly it was filled

49
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:40,920
with glaring school boy howlers people's

50
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:43,120
names were spelled wrongly names of

51
00:02:40,920 --> 00:02:46,280
companies were spelled wrongly people

52
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:48,640
were misidentified in terms of the

53
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:51,440
positions that they held people were

54
00:02:48,640 --> 00:02:54,400
accused of attending meetings in cities

55
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:57,640
in countries that they had never in in

56
00:02:54,400 --> 00:03:00,640
fact ever visited and could prove that

57
00:02:57,640 --> 00:03:04,440
they were elsewhere in the United States

58
00:03:00,640 --> 00:03:07,040
at a baseball game I think at the time

59
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:10,519
so it has been quite widely discredited

60
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:13,640
but not before it was cascading around

61
00:03:10,519 --> 00:03:17,560
the world thanks to right-wing media

62
00:03:13,640 --> 00:03:20,000
organizations like CNN and Buzz feet

63
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:23,440
picked up then by virtually every

64
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:26,120
newspaper and network in the world so on

65
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:28,599
the principle that some people believe

66
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:32,799
there's no smoke without fire and that

67
00:03:28,599 --> 00:03:35,280
mud sticks even when it has no right to

68
00:03:32,799 --> 00:03:39,280
uh Trump has been severely diminished

69
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:41,959
and degraded by the uh dossier produced

70
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:45,840
by the British now in

71
00:03:41,959 --> 00:03:48,439
1925 something called the zenov letter

72
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:51,560
helped to bring down the first ever

73
00:03:48,439 --> 00:03:54,560
labor government in Britain it purported

74
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:59,840
to be a letter from the head of the

75
00:03:54,560 --> 00:04:01,959
common turn gregori zenov to his left

76
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:04,159
tenants in British labor movement

77
00:04:01,959 --> 00:04:06,840
politics giving them their marching

78
00:04:04,159 --> 00:04:09,959
orders and in particular encouraging

79
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:12,879
them to acts of sedition within the

80
00:04:09,959 --> 00:04:15,680
British Armed Forces this brought down

81
00:04:12,879 --> 00:04:18,479
the labor prime minister even though it

82
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:21,680
was quite quickly actually proved to be

83
00:04:18,479 --> 00:04:23,919
a forgery that had been produced by

84
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:26,160
you've guessed it British

85
00:04:23,919 --> 00:04:29,320
intelligence that brought down the prime

86
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:32,199
ministership of Ramsey MacDonald and

87
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:36,039
this one is aimed at another Donald

88
00:04:32,199 --> 00:04:39,000
Donald Trump now just for the avoidance

89
00:04:36,039 --> 00:04:41,600
of doubt I am not happy that Donald

90
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:44,000
Trump is the president of the United

91
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:47,360
States that should have been Bernie

92
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:50,520
Sanders but I'm very happy indeed that

93
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:54,759
Hillary Clinton is not to be the

94
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:57,600
president of the United States and if

95
00:04:54,759 --> 00:05:01,039
Donald Trump were to live up to his

96
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:05,160
Flagship policy of reducing tension with

97
00:05:01,039 --> 00:05:06,759
Russia of turning the volume down on the

98
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:10,000
anti-russian

99
00:05:06,759 --> 00:05:12,759
hysteria of these last few years then

100
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:15,800
he'd be doing the world a big favor and

101
00:05:12,759 --> 00:05:20,199
what I believe is happening here is a

102
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:22,800
kind of soft Keta probably not to stop

103
00:05:20,199 --> 00:05:25,240
Trump taking the oath of office in less

104
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:27,960
than a week because that's a pretty

105
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:31,520
fullon hope and would in any case

106
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:34,440
probably produce civil war in America

107
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:37,720
but to cut him off at the knees to put

108
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:42,960
him into a political corner so that he

109
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:46,560
feels intimidated about pursuing his Ron

110
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:49,639
with uh Moscow now the signs are early

111
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:52,160
signs that some of his lieutenants in

112
00:05:49,639 --> 00:05:55,120
very powerful positions Secretary of

113
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:58,840
State designate for defense even

114
00:05:55,120 --> 00:06:00,880
Secretary of State Tillerson himself the

115
00:05:58,840 --> 00:06:04,000
signs are that this intimidation is

116
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:07,319
working on the other hand Trump was so

117
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:10,840
robust in his press conference and so

118
00:06:07,319 --> 00:06:13,240
hostile to these intelligence Services

119
00:06:10,840 --> 00:06:16,319
spy agencies that are trying to put him

120
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:18,319
in this corner that it remains an open

121
00:06:16,319 --> 00:06:22,160
question whether Trump's going to have

122
00:06:18,319 --> 00:06:25,360
the guts to follow through if he does

123
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:29,199
then frankly uh there's a clear and

124
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:30,080
present danger uh upon his life if I

125
00:06:29,199 --> 00:06:32,400
were him

126
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:36,000
I wouldn't be going near any grassy

127
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:38,560
nulls I wouldn't be on any motor Cades

128
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:42,479
in Dallas or anywhere else I wouldn't be

129
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:44,560
traveling in an open top car because the

130
00:06:42,479 --> 00:06:48,880
Coalition which is

131
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:53,000
assembling in Washington on the pomac

132
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:55,599
against Trump is not only The Usual

133
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:57,919
Suspects it's not only the military

134
00:06:55,599 --> 00:07:00,840
industrial complex that General

135
00:06:57,919 --> 00:07:04,160
Eisenhower a republic president of the

136
00:07:00,840 --> 00:07:07,400
past warned us about their over winning

137
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:10,199
power it's not only the spy agencies

138
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:14,000
who've killed political opponents from

139
00:07:10,199 --> 00:07:17,680
Patrice lumba through Salvador aende uh

140
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:22,280
DM in Vietnam and many others it's not

141
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:25,919
only even the war party personified by

142
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:29,560
Senator John McCain they've been joined

143
00:07:25,919 --> 00:07:33,440
by a new element which is particularly

144
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:35,840
virulent indeed and that new element is

145
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:39,599
people who at least until now would have

146
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:42,160
been defining themselves as liberals as

147
00:07:39,599 --> 00:07:45,199
on the left as

148
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:49,080
progressives so hostile to Trump are

149
00:07:45,199 --> 00:07:53,280
they that they have begun embracing the

150
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:57,240
worst people in the world the David FRS

151
00:07:53,280 --> 00:08:00,440
the John McCain's they have embraced the

152
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:05,080
CIA that once upon a time they would

153
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:08,919
have known were their natural predators

154
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:12,639
and that bizarre Coalition of the war

155
00:08:08,919 --> 00:08:15,560
party the Liberals the spy agencies the

156
00:08:12,639 --> 00:08:19,199
military industrial complex which stands

157
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:21,960
to lose almost everything if tension in

158
00:08:19,199 --> 00:08:26,120
the world and War in the world becomes a

159
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:28,879
thing of the past that's a very toxic

160
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:31,720
and dangerous Coalition so I'd be very

161
00:08:28,879 --> 00:08:34,680
careful of was President Trump uh about

162
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:37,440
my personal security I think I'd have to

163
00:08:34,680 --> 00:08:42,039
employ guards to guard the

164
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:45,640
guards but assuming Trump survives

165
00:08:42,039 --> 00:08:49,080
assuming nothing stops him mounting that

166
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:51,600
platform uh in less than a week from now

167
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:55,320
and he takes the oath of

168
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:58,880
office if he follows through on his

169
00:08:55,320 --> 00:09:04,040
campaign pledges if and it's a big if

170
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:07,720
imagine letters 10t tall i f if if he

171
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:13,880
does well he might actually change the

172
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:17,120
course of history because it was a wish

173
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:21,320
amongst wide sections of the American

174
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:24,839
population not to go to war with Russia

175
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:27,640
not to be on the side of alqa and Isis

176
00:09:24,839 --> 00:09:29,519
in Syria and to stop the

177
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,279
deindustrialization

178
00:09:29,519 --> 00:09:33,160
the

179
00:09:30,279 --> 00:09:37,040
deskilling the exporting of factories

180
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:40,959
and jobs from America from the Rust Belt

181
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:44,279
states that gave Trump his victory if he

182
00:09:40,959 --> 00:09:46,839
follows through on their aspirations if

183
00:09:44,279 --> 00:09:50,560
he follows the kind of policies that

184
00:09:46,839 --> 00:09:53,760
Bernie Sanders is projecting well Trump

185
00:09:50,560 --> 00:09:57,720
may turn out to be unexpectedly a good

186
00:09:53,760 --> 00:10:00,440
thing but if he doesn't if he succumbs

187
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:03,560
not to the blackmail of the russan s but

188
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:07,000
to the blackmail of the deep state in

189
00:10:03,560 --> 00:10:10,480
his own country well my goodness we are

190
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:14,760
in for a turbulent roller coaster over

191
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:16,640
the next four years maybe eight years my

192
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:20,760
last word is

193
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:25,200
this the British intelligence Services

194
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:29,000
instead of interfering in other people's

195
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:33,560
elections should be guarding our people

196
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:36,399
our society and our political systems

197
00:10:33,560 --> 00:10:39,320
integrity and as you saw from my last

198
00:10:36,399 --> 00:10:42,880
video on the activities of the Israeli

199
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:46,200
Embassy in London hard evidence of

200
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:49,360
interference in our Democratic political

201
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:53,320
process by a foreign

202
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:55,880
power on behalf of a rogue

203
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:58,920
State the British intelligence would be

204
00:10:55,880 --> 00:11:02,839
better paying attention to protecting us

205
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:06,920
from from that yes and from the threats

206
00:11:02,839 --> 00:11:10,240
that are abroad and even some within

207
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:14,600
against our people and against our

208
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:19,279
interests so I'll never find myself in

209
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:23,639
bed with the CIA with John McCain I'll

210
00:11:19,279 --> 00:11:29,200
never find myself in bed with MI6 we'll

211
00:11:23,639 --> 00:11:29,200
talk about this again sometime I'm sure
