Starmer Accused of Blocking Far-Right Agitators While Allowing Pro-Palestinian March
"That is why this Labour government will block far-right agitators from travelling to Britain for that event. Because we will not allow people to come to the UK to threaten our communities and spread hate on our streets."
About this episode
Broadcasting from London, Glenn Beck delivers a podcast focused on political turmoil in both the UK and California, featuring interviews with UK activist Tommy Robinson and California gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton. Beck is in London to speak at Saturday's Unite the Kingdom rally, which organizers expect will draw over a million people—potentially three million—to protest what they describe as the systematic betrayal of working-class Britons by the political elite. Robinson revealed that Prime Minister Keir Starmer's government is banning foreign journalists from covering the event while simultaneously allowing a pro-Palestinian march to be routed nearby, creating potential for confrontation. Robinson defended the rally as a celebration of British identity and diversity, pushing back against Starmer's characterization of participants as far-right extremists bent on intimidation. In a stark parallel to British political dysfunction, Steve Hilton, who is polling first or second among 61 candidates for California governor, detailed his findings from Operation Cal Doge—an investigation that estimates $425 billion in fraud, waste, and abuse in California's budget over five years. Hilton exposed specific schemes including $928 million from gas taxes that was allegedly diverted to Democrat political organizing rather than the solar panel installation it was supposed to fund. He outlined an aggressive platform including $3 gasoline, halved electric bills, and tax-free income up to $100,000, arguing these goals are achievable through executive action and eliminating waste. Beck also touched on ABC's battle with the FCC over whether The View qualifies as a news program exempt from equal-time rules, and Virginia Democrats' attempt to impose mandatory judicial retirement at 54 to flip the state Supreme Court after losing a gerrymandering case.
