00:00political strategist tv star and broadcaster hello peter hello mark how's it going i'm very

00:05well indeed enjoyed watching you on channel five you're not only do you talk a lot of sense

00:09dangerously handsome i put it all down to the work of the wonderful makeup artists

00:14well i'm glad they make this possible so yes that's a relief the pressure's off it's all

00:18smoke and mirrors yes front page of the mail on sunday peter barnes now blair delivers a stinging

00:24blow to prime minister over war and the same story in the sunday telegraph tony blair rebukes

00:29starmer over failure to back donald trump's war saying that you should show up for your friends

00:36your reaction oh 100 correct interesting is absolutely bang on when we talk about the

00:40nuclear threat as well what i what i will say is you have to go back to world war ii

00:44britain went

00:45to war because an ally was invaded and attacked that it was the only reason that we went it was

00:51a principal matter that was the thing britain at that time had principles and standards and held

00:56its word and we had a treaty to protect poland and yes and that is the big it's also the

01:01important

01:01but it's the fact that we put in our entire war effort the entire economy everything went into that

01:07to defend an ally and an ally america asked for our help all they wanted was refueling sites that's all

01:15they wanted and trust me that's all they needed considering the amount of audience they have and

01:19the military tech that is there currently in the arabian sea but you know it was a trivial

01:25contribution that was required yes and symbolic more than anything else exactly but i will say that

01:31britain basically wants to have a seat at the top table without paying a bill or throwing a punch and

01:36it can't do that we cannot sit at the top table and pretend that we are some great power that

01:42we have

01:42influence in the world when we can't even do one of the two basics and are you ready for me

01:47to make

01:47you even more depressed oh go on okay so it's eight minutes past eight on a sunday morning

01:52britain is now being diplomatically outmaneuvered by germany and france who are both completely useless

02:00but yet they've had a better war so far than we have oh yeah i mean germany has positioned itself

02:06fantastically i mean the french in particular i mean we owe a lot to the french friedrich merck the

02:11january said donald do your worst yes a hundred percent because they understand this the actual reality

02:17of the threat and i go back to tristan's voice voice note there when we talk about the nuclear

02:21threat what we actually mean is the ie the iaea which is the international atomic energy authority

02:27basically lost what they call continuity of knowledge this is big this on a fundamental level

02:32is there were an unbreak and unbroken chain of custody uh of nuclear material that is big and that

02:39needs to exist unfortunately they don't have it anymore so what you're saying is this body has lost

02:43track of who's developing nuclear weapons and who isn't it's over 400 kilograms of uranium at 60

02:50enrichment you need 90 to get to a nuclear weapon that is a matter of weeks to put it into

02:57perspective

02:57you need five percent enriched for civilian uh nuclear power they're at 60 and we don't know where

03:04it is and it's tampered tampered with oh god knows that is the definition of an imminent threat

03:09when they already have the ballistic capability to hit targets outside they are provably not years

03:15away from developing a nuclear weapon realistically and at best months yeah i mean that is at best

03:21luckily that when trump uh basically tried to blow it off the face of the earth the problem was you

03:27didn't remove the kind of drive to get the nuclear weapon so yes you can wipe out half of the

03:33um the

03:34bases however the actual drive to it was still very prevalent and they were still plowing ahead in

03:39other sites so yeah this idea that there was no threat is a categorical lie and you're no cheerleader

03:46for donald trump at the best of times but this is a noble war isn't it given the fact that

03:53iran is

03:54the single biggest sponsor of global terror arguably the worst regime since the third reich yeah and

04:00potentially a nuclear power so there's an awful lot of thrust behind this there's actually a moral

04:06duty to act oh yes it was imperative that we did for the fundamental basis that you know the britain's

04:13prime minister is supposed to protect and defend its nation and its citizens without doing what trump

04:18has done that would not have been possible because the the reality of them using that weapon is very

04:24very high if they achieved it and they had to be stopped and you do not negotiate with people that

04:29would shoot 50 000 students at a protest that's what they did and then made the families pay for

04:35the bullets and made them search through body bags to find their dead uh children that is what that

04:41and actually find people or to charge people to get the bodies back yes it is quite extraordinary just

04:47how wicked they are because of course they are completely you know ideologically captured oh

04:54fanatics fanatics to a whole new level because they believe that to they have to bring about the end

04:58of the world to bring back their kind of religious leader and all this kind of stuff it is a

05:02cult and

05:03it is a death cult uh to put it mildly well their favorite catchphrases are death to the west which

05:09i

05:09think maybe is not great for us no no no no no i mean unless i'm over interpreting that they

05:14called us

05:14the little satan and america was the big satan at least at least we got a satan i suppose that

05:19you

05:19know so it's nice to get a mention yeah well it's like yeah maybe not on that list do you

05:22remember

05:22scrappy do that came along and ruined the cartoons so this is a very significant thing the other thing

05:29to say just to have a little donald trump moment because we we were told that he was the bad

05:33orange

05:33man um the democrats and the left-leaning u.s media told us that he was he was going to

05:39be hitler okay

05:40so it's been a year and a half now i'm just wondering when does the hitler moment yes i was

05:45i thought

05:45that happened in trump one yeah like you know like in the original is he is he waiting for his

05:49hitler it must be he must be but this is the thing there's so at the moment all he's done

05:53is improve

05:53the terms by which america trades with the world closed the southern border ended workery in u.s

05:57public institutions boosted the economy and ended a couple of wars yes yeah probably saved half of

06:04the western world is he is he storing up his evil for the second half of his term it's got

06:08to be some

06:09amount of storing up this the outpour of evil that's going to come from the amount of good that this

06:13man has done because you're so right that everybody's driven because donald trump has done

06:16it it must be bad that is such a child's perspective it is unimaginable and he does say a lot

06:22of stupid

06:22and wrong things he does but the thing is the things he actually does and that's what you should judge

06:27a

06:27person on the actions that they take i mean i'm stopping iran you know yes he said some herty words

06:33on twitter not great stopping a megalomaniac who was going to blow up half of the world i think that's

06:39a pretty good thing in my book well i think history will judge him kindly if not the u.s

06:43media as we

06:44speak and uk media too and rather disappointingly donald trump is massively unpopular in this

06:48country and i think it's because people are being brainwashed about him and as you say it's focusing

06:53on his herty words and what he did 20 years ago or didn't do versus his actions as leader of

06:57the free

06:58world 100 and you know this is a guy we've had so many presidents sitting on issues like whether the

07:03israeli embassy goes to jerusalem or not trump does it yeah a lot of them the ex-democrats hillary

07:10clinton obama have complained about the unfair tariffs in the united states trump did something

07:15about it the threat of iran we've had that from obama we had it from clinton we've had it from

07:21biden who probably before i was even born well this is it and biden actually gave money to the

07:27iranians to in order to somehow buy their friendship um so so that's the other big thing with trump and

07:32i

07:32will offer a counter to what's happening in iran in just a moment but the other thing worth pointing

07:38out is always good isn't it with public figures to look at their incentives yes and donald trump

07:45has no identifiable incentive in doing this war yeah the maga base don't love it because he said

07:52no foreign wars um obviously the left in america don't love it because it was donald trump's idea to

07:57act and it's going to be expensive it will likely damage the u.s economy it will likely bring

08:04inflation back it could affect the uh flow of energy around the world so actually this is quite an act

08:11of self-sacrifice on the part of donald trump who would have a much quieter life if he hadn't done

08:15this yes that's right and i think this is why most people fall into the kind of personality politics

08:19international politics isn't domestic so basically it cares about cold hard mechanics and for me trump is

08:25doing this for one simple purpose and that is to stop china everything is geared at stopping china

08:31because as i always say every week it's always you've got to stop china because it affects the

08:36trade and it affects everything america first has been radically misinterpreted by so many people

08:41that it's not some kind of isolationist kind of pursuit it is actually the pursuit of moving forward

08:46and what what that means is that trump is positioning america to be the first nation out of the door

08:53and into the new century into the new world because we're going through so many different types of

08:58revolutions at the moment whether it be economically whether it be socially tech workplace all this

09:02kind of stuff everything could change that's why so much chaos is everywhere america first is to

09:07making sure that america leads the way because if they don't somebody like china or russia could lead

09:12the way and we don't want that well i've got two words for you if you like based upon your

09:15wise

09:16analysis globally i think what donald trump is doing is cleaning house yes yeah a good spring clean

09:22and i i think yeah this is one of the big which is what greenland was all about yes it's

09:27all this

09:27is the thing it's not 4d chess it is simple statecraft and it is what needed to be done

09:32because we had to end the old wars to position ourselves to fight the new ones one of the things

09:37that ukraine made perfectly clear this this war has made perfectly clear is that the future is actually

09:42about the space race it's about the weaponization and the industrialization of space that is why

09:47greenland was actually vital because greenland hosts space force which is the u.s uh kind of first

09:54kind of military escapades into space and this is all linked together and it's it's not 4d chess it's

10:00not some kind of grand master plan it has been talked about in geopolitical terms for 20 20 15 20

10:06years and it's all positioning to now because we're now at the technological level where it's possible

10:12to do briefly if you can did trump get enough in his greenland compromise his greenland deal he got

10:18what he needed and i think that's that would probably be enough but also i would say the one

10:23thing that is also part of trump's plan really is actually to kick europe into gear and actually to

10:29kind of demote um britain and to demote europe a little bit to say you've got to get your action

10:36on it because there is nothing more kind of clarifying than a crisis because this idea that nato is a

10:41partnership and all the rest of it nonsense it's a hierarchy of power and trump proved very clearly

10:46that they move the world i've got a bit of a wild anecdote which is going to get me in

10:50so much

10:50trouble but it's another metaphor like cleaning house uh my youngest son great lad fabulous chap

10:56and uh when he was very little about maybe one and a half years ago very very um strong will

11:00which is a good thing and uh we were in hot sunny country and he needed his little sunglasses because

11:06we were on a walk and he kept taking them off and he's like we're protecting his little eyes

11:10blazing hot day sunscreen sunglasses he kept pulling them off and chucking them on the floor

11:14well he's going to hurt his little eyes right so uh what i did is i held him towards the

11:18sun

11:19and then he put the sunglasses on and kept them on just for a couple of seconds right and i

11:23think

11:23that's what donald trump is doing is holding these european leaders towards the sun the blazing sun

11:28realizing you're going to need some protection oh yes um and uh sparking a conversation which has

11:33already moved the dial in terms of military investment so briefly because i want to get to a call

11:38i've got mike in north wales um we've been nice about donald uh particularly because there are

11:42no votes in what he's doing and that's so laudable oh and so rare yeah in a politician like you

11:48said

11:48to go against his own base bingo yeah but here's the big but there is no plan for when the

11:54war ends

11:55and surely that's the soft underbelly of this policy yes my answer to that is how long is a piece

11:59of string are you we don't know we don't say that did you know it's seven inches but the thing

12:04is we

12:04don't know who's going to be the next prime minister of the united kingdom so therefore should

12:07we bother with an election i can't predict the future but what you can see is the fact that

12:11this has actually been a very surgical strike into as well as being an overwhelming force i mean that

12:17before the actual invasion i was not invasion before the actual attacks you actually had what

12:22was known as operation scorpion and which actually took out most of iran's kind of capability to fight

12:26back this was a targeted attack it knew what it was doing and yes it's going to be messy but

12:31it's

12:31the middle east messy is its middle name the prime minister how much of a problem domestically

12:37is this tiff with donald trump well that's quite an interesting question actually because you'd think

12:43it would be terrifying and like you know death's door for him however because the war itself is not

12:49really that popular he can kind of ride the coattails the problem is the dithering it's not

12:54necessarily being hated by trump that is the problem it is the same we're staying out of it

12:58they're very much getting into it and then saying oh it's only defensive and then hiding behind

13:02uh international law and all this kind of stuff it's the it's that kind of willy won'ty it's like

13:08flip-flopping that's that's his real downfall on this it's not necessarily what he was called

13:13it was the dithering because we don't like a ditherer and it's also a situation you don't want

13:17a ditherer no it perpetuates the the the image of starmer as as captain u-turn doesn't it and it's

13:23curious how this plays out and by the way we're in the bizarre situation where we now are agreeing

13:28with tony blair i know but to be honest on international relations and the 2003 invasion

13:32of iraq was what got me interested in politics in the first place so i actually i've always

13:36agreed with blair on this one but it is literally that kind of you have to stop thinking in terms

13:41of

13:41personalities and start thinking in mechanics and hard physical power what they call kinetic

13:46movement so basically trump brought three strike carrier uh three um strike carrier groups three of

13:52them in the in the arabian sea that they they have basically i think it's 70 aircraft on each

13:57they are a nuclear mid-powered they they have the capability it's basically a sovereign state

14:02moving in and he took three of them this was not a messing around moment this was a rattle the

14:07chandeliers kind of moment and you know this is one thing that blair always understood is that we are

14:12not the power that we once were but we still have a role to play and we still had an

14:17obligation to play

14:18and we let we let the side down and we should take our uh bruises on that one i'm afraid

14:23i've got a

14:24message here from a texter saying good morning mark you should be ashamed of yourself supporting a

14:29psychopathic murdering trump in favor of our own prime minister remember iran has attacked qatar and

14:34bahrain because it was attacked by the us and israel britain had nothing to do with it i wish britain

14:40had adopted a totally neutral approach you know like the us for many years in both world wars and

14:46totally in the falklands uh what about this from steven good morning mark and good morning peter

14:52this is all planned this is precisely what starmer and labour want they want to completely disable

14:57britain so it collapses then they can rebuild it to their own ideal uh do you agree with some of

15:04these

15:04concerns that my viewers and listeners have got that this is all on purpose yes because there's too

15:10many coincidences for it to somehow be an accident you know i'm not i'm not a big believer in these

15:15kind

15:15of conspiracies because often people are too incompetent to pull them off but it is literally

15:19the kind of it's always trending in one direction so you know you look at the the kind of the

15:24removal

15:25of the private sector look at the kind of the clampdown on landlords look at look at the international

15:29relations consistently the way that we do even in the spring little statement that rachel reeves gives

15:34not a single penny for more in defense despite this crisis happening you know we couldn't even get

15:39hms dragon out of portsmouth in on time despite the fact that we knew weeks ahead everybody knew that

15:44trump was sending you know half the american fleet across and we didn't even send one ship i mean at

15:50what point do you start to wonder is it incompetence or is this actually the as you look views of

15:55this

15:55to say that this kind of we don't want to get involved we want to diminish our role we have

15:59accepted managed decline and not really managed decline anymore we've pulled the uh pulled the safety

16:04cord and it's just terminal velocity all the way down now this is the big point is that i do

16:09think

16:09that starmer is i don't think really start some is behind it i look at the people in the cabinet

16:13i

16:14look at the fact that ed milliband is basically leading the government at the moment you know this

16:17little cabinet and national security council meeting that got leaked which should never have been leaked

16:22but um you know the fact that he's saying we can't do this i saw emily thornberry out doing the

16:26rams the other day and she was saying oh it's perfectly sensible position no it's not and she leads

16:31the foreign affairs select committee an incredibly powerful committee it is lots of people in all these kind

16:36positions that all think the same and therefore we are britain goes down and unfortunately until they

16:42are all removed there is no way up
