00:00I want to be absolutely clear about this.
00:05The Prime Minister does not think I am difficult because I'm a survivor of child sexual abuse,
00:10because I'm a woman or because I'm autistic.
00:12He thinks I'm difficult because I have put a spotlight on the toxic allegiance
00:18that we have with the United States and Israel
00:21that is in direct conflict with our national interests.
00:26That is why.
00:32And the reality is that for centuries, laws have been written by men, for men.
00:41Patriarchal interests have been protected above all else
00:44with little consideration for women's rights or for our lived experience.
00:48This history matters, and it has lasting consequences today.
00:52Pretty much.
