I know you're animated about this and so

am I. What is going on in Great Britain

with the arrest of an American lawyer

for free speech protected if he had

uttered those words in the US?

>> Yeah, Dan Kovaleik, he's a very good

friend of mine um and uh somebody who I

I hold in extremely high regard. his

politics are um his politics I mean he's

there's nothing illegal about uh you

know for instance saying that what

Israel is doing in Gaza is genocide. Uh

I support that conclusion. There are

many people who don't um but that's what

free speech is all about. You know he's

also somebody who has openly condemned

the United States and Great Britain in

regards to their um you know war against

Iran. you know, Great Britain, you know,

played a supporting role in this. Uh and

you know as a result you know because of

statements he's made and posting he's

put out on social media um the British

police detained him at the at Liverpool

airport John Lennin airport um charging

him with you know the I guess it's a

2000 terrorism um you know act um that

you know under schedule 7 which is a

more recent uh uh addition to that that

that makes um you know posting um things

critical of Israel, for instance, on uh

on social media illegal. Now, Great

Britain is a sovereign state, let there

be no doubt about that. The British have

every right to do what they choose to

do. Um but there must be consequences

for their actions. Uh Great Britain

postures itself as a special friend of

the United States. We have, after all, a

special relationship. Um not anymore. If

the British can't respect the core

American value of free speech and let's

remember that you know we draw and you

know when we draw upon our you know the

the foundations of the thinking behind

our you know democracy behind the

constitution we draw upon the Magna

Carta and uh you know that is the

British but the British don't respect

this anymore. Great Britain has become

something that is the antithesis of

American values and yet we treat them as

friends. They detained an American

citizen, an American lawyer, a human

right lawyer, a man who is an expert in

international law, a man who's an expert

in constitutional law, and they have

detained him and treated him as a

terrorist, as a criminal. Um, if this

had happened in Russia or China, the

State Department would be screaming

bloody murder and demanding his

immediate release. And why we aren't

screaming bloody murder right now and

demanding Dan Kovic's immediate release

and an apology is beyond me. But it's

time that we stop treating the British

as our allies. They are not allied to

America. They are the enemies of the

United States. They stand for everything

we don't. They stand for the suppression

of free speech. They stand for a police

state that stomps down any um

possibility of vocal opposition. And uh

we we should do to the British what we

do to others in this case. You know, we

have the Magn Magniski Act which we

passed uh you know because we accused

the Russians of murdering a lawyer in

prison. Turns out it didn't. It's all a

lie. But you know, we we took action. Uh

we should have a sim we should have the

Kovic act against the British. Uh any uh

member of parliament who voted for this

legislation should be banned permanently

from the United States. Any member of

the British government that served in

the government that allowed this to take

place should be banned. Any police

officer involved in the prosecution of

Americans should be banned forever. Um

this is how we treat. We should sanction

the British economically. We should make

them pay a harsh price for suppressing

uh the the values of an American citizen

that we should all cherish.

>> Let me get this straight. This lawyer

made these comments in the United States

and for that was punished upon his

arrival in Great Britain. I mean, would

they allow you or me or almost anybody

on this show to pass security or customs

at a British airport? or would they

detain us?

>> It's 100% certain that if I went to

Great Britain, I would be detained. I've

been warned as such and therefore uh I'm

not. But I view Great Britain as a

hostile state. Why would I travel to a

hostile state? Great Britain is not a

destination any American should go to.

We should shut down every American

airline route to Great Britain. We

should treat them as, you know, the

worst threat to Americans. This is it.

Ladies and gentlemen, if you're an

American citizen and you've posted

anything on social media that could uh

you'll fall a foul of British

sensibilities, um you will be detained.

And um it's it's it's a very unpleasant

experience. So unpleasant that George

Galloway, who was detained under similar

circumstances as was compelled to leave

Great Britain altogether, um they in

effect sexually assaulted his wife, a

lovely lady, and uh they I mean the the

British are is a terrorist state. This

is literally the actions of a terrorist

state. They are not a democracy. They

are the antithesis of democracy because

they suppress free speech.
