Trump's Pastor INSULTS the UK... Then the Host ENDS the Interview!

[0:00] saying that President Trump is calling into question U.K. sovereignty over the Falkland [0:04] Islands. And you think, well, on what planet is that an appropriate thing to do, three days [0:09] before the king of the Falkland Islands visits this country? Well, I think the real question [0:16] should be asked is, what planet do you live on to where the United States' greatest ally, [0:21] the U.K., refused to support the United States of America's positioning to open up the Strait [0:26] of the Muse, and to support the U.K. It is you who need the oil, not the United States [0:31] of America. It is you. This interview went from tense to completely off the rails in a [0:35] matter of minutes. Donald Trump's longtime faith advisor walked into this debate throwing [0:38] criticism at the U.K., the monarchy, and even the prime minister. But what he probably didn't [0:43] expect was for the host to completely lose patience and end the interview on the spot. [0:47] Before we dive into the full story, comment where you're watching from, and don't forget [0:50] to like and subscribe so you don't miss this. Trust me, this only gets more heated as it [0:54] goes on. Watch the full exchange, and afterward I'll break down exactly why this debate completely [0:59] unraveled. [0:59] Well, again, it's already clear that, you know, and I don't think the U.K. is great. [1:04] Again, I think the people are great of the U.K., but I think you're going into a very dangerous [1:08] direction, and I think many in America believe that. But the reality of it is, you know, U.K. [1:16] has always been our greatest and oldest ally, and it is important that, you know, we share [1:21] so many of the same messaging. Naturally, your prime minister and even your king have done [1:28] some things that has been very challenging to us Americans in regards to the direction [1:35] that you're taking your country. But the reality of it is, this was a good day to continue to [1:41] build upon our previous strong relationships. And yes, some of the things the king said, I [1:47] believe, were unnecessary. And that he really needs to, you know, again, stick to kissing [1:54] babies and also be the head of the Christian church. I remind him he is— [1:58] I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Don't be so insulting to the king. He made a very, [2:05] very thoughtful speech there with some important messages, particularly around our collective [2:10] security. And you resort to an insult about he should stick to kissing babies. Grow up. [2:17] I think you confused my statement. And I'm sorry. You may be a little slow in what I'm [2:22] saying. I'll speak slower so you can understand, because what I said was not an insult at all. [2:27] I think, again, I made it very clear that this was a great day for Great Britain and for the [2:31] United States. I think this was a beautiful thing. It's an honor that His Majesty took time [2:37] out of his schedule to come to the United States of America. It's a beautiful thing. And I think [2:41] that this is the kind of unity that we need to continue to build on. There are some policies that [2:46] you are having in your country that is challenging to us conservatives here in America, but that's [2:52] neither here nor there. Again, so I'm sorry you must have misunderstood what I said as an insult. It [2:58] wasn't an insult. He is still the head of the Christian church in the U.K. He is the head of the [3:05] Church of England. And many Christians in the U.K. are challenged or disturbed that his actions have [3:12] seemed to be belittled the Christian faith while promoting other faiths, while he is still yet the [3:18] head of the Christian church. But it's an honor that he came to the United States. [3:22] Sorry, he spent a substantial section of his speech reaffirming his Christian faith and explaining [3:32] why it's important not just to him, but to our country, to your country. I'm not quite following [3:37] you about how he's sort of tried to undermine it. Well, again, I'm not speaking specifically to [3:42] the speech. I think the outcry of American Christians and the outcry of the U.K. Christians [3:48] previously has caused his majesty to echo his strong sentiments of the Christian faith. And [3:55] that's a beautiful thing. That's what we wanted to see. That's what we want to hear. Again, that is [3:59] more so for the Christians in the United Kingdom, who felt very strongly that their king, the head of [4:07] the Church of England, has diverted from, you know, promoting the Christian faith in the U.K. But again, [4:15] I think it was a beautiful thing. I think to see all of the great supporters who were there to [4:19] support his majesty, the king, what an honor. I do hope to get to meet him myself, especially when I [4:25] come back to London. And so to be able to continue to preach prosperity and unity amongst our two [4:33] countries. But again, there are some challenges that are still there, especially with your prime [4:36] minister. But hopefully we can get them worked out. Well, I'm no fan of our prime minister, but the [4:42] the insults that Donald Trump has doled out to him ever since the attacks on Iran have been utterly [4:52] despicable, not the sort of thing that you would expect from the head of one state to the prime [4:56] minister of another. And then three days before this visit takes place, we have administration [5:05] officials, apparently with the endorsement of the White House, saying that President Trump is calling [5:10] into question U.K. sovereignty over the Falkland Islands. And you think, well, on what planet is [5:15] that an appropriate thing to do three days before the king of the Falkland Islands visits this country? [5:22] Well, I think the real question should be asked is, what planet do you live on to where [5:27] the United States' greatest ally, the U.K., refused to support the United States of America's [5:32] positioning to open up the Strait of Hormuz and to support U.K.? It is you who need the oil, [5:38] not the United States of America. It is you who need to make sure that that Strait is open. But [5:42] yet we are risking our soldiers. We are helping the millions upon millions of Iranians who are [5:48] thanking President Trump for coming to their rescue and removing that evil regime. Even right now, [5:54] and I spoke to the president a couple of days ago about Iran, and even now, the very fact that their [5:58] leadership is all in chaos just shows once again why it was good that Donald Trump, President Trump, [6:04] acted upon that. So it's challenging when the U.K. refuses to send naval support. It's challenging. [6:11] And again, what planet are you living on when our greatest ally refused to help us when we needed [6:16] them? But yet, trust me, when it comes time for the U.K. to need us, the United States of America [6:21] will be there. The fact is that Britain has come to America's aid on many occasions in the past. [6:27] President Trump didn't even seem to know that we did after 9-11 on Afghanistan. It is for sovereign [6:34] nations, whether it's Britain, Germany, France, any nation, to decide whether they are going to take [6:39] part in military action. Now, I happen to disagree with our government stance on this, but I fully [6:45] respect our elected government's right to make that decision. And as you well know, there have been [6:54] occasions when America has done things which haven't been to the advantage of our country. But these [7:01] alliances, they are formed over decades, not temporary sort of years, and they have to endure if our [7:08] collective security is to endure. But that doesn't mean to say that when Donald Trump says jump, we [7:15] just say how high. International relations don't work like that. Well, that's your—you're speaking [7:21] about the Trump-during syndrome that you clearly have, and many of those in the U.K. have. We're not [7:25] talking about Donald Trump. We're talking about the government of the United States of America. President [7:31] Trump is the elected commander-in-chief. But the government of the United States of America— [7:36] Absolutely. I fully recognize that. [7:38] So you're talking about Donald Trump, and you're talking about his personality. You never met the [7:44] man, but you're talking about his personality. I haven't mentioned his personality. [7:47] Say, hey, then he says how high. That's a Trump-during syndrome mentality. We're talking about the [7:52] security of our two great nations. And the reality of it is you are part of NATO, and you are—and so [7:57] when the United States, who is a member of NATO, needs and requesting help, you should in return— [8:03] Yeah, an organization which President Trump consistently undermines— [8:05] …saves feelings of Iranians who are dying at the hands of the evil regime. And thanks to [8:09] President Trump, they are now in a leadership situation to where things are falling apart [8:14] internally in their own nation. And that gives an opportunity for democracy— [8:18] Sorry. It's the same regime. [8:20] It's the same regime. [8:21] The right to the situation. [8:24] It's the same regime. [8:25] The regime, the personality— [8:27] If it was the same regime, the Navy would still be existing. The Navy doesn't exist. [8:31] If it was the same regime, the Air Force would exist. The Air Force does not exist. If it's the [8:36] same regime, the same Iranians are now saying, we want the Strait of Hamrush to be opened up, [8:41] but we have an internal leadership issue. That was not the same under the former Atola. No, [8:47] he's been eliminated. Let's face it. [8:48] And all of the generals have been eliminated thanks to President Donald Trump. And remember, [8:52] I don't understand the real question we should be asking. Why does the UK love Iranians being [8:57] killed by this evil regime? Why aren't you stepping up and helping the beautiful people of Iran who [9:03] wants to be free? Why are you so in hatred of Donald Trump so much that you would allow Iranians to [9:09] die at the hands of an evil Islamic regime— [9:11] I'll tell you what. [9:12] For somebody who says he's a pastor, you don't have a very Christian attitude [9:19] to people in debate. I think we'll end it there. Thank you very much indeed. [9:24] No, enough. Enough. We've heard enough derangement to use the word that he used there. [9:31] Looking at this entire exchange, I think it highlights a much bigger issue than just one [9:35] heated interview. For me, the most surprising part wasn't even the disagreement. It was the expectation [9:39] that allies should automatically support every foreign policy decision without question. [9:43] International alliances simply don't work that way. Countries have their own governments, [9:47] their own interests, and their own decisions to make. That's why I found some of Mark Burns' [9:50] arguments difficult to follow. NATO is fundamentally a defensive alliance, and whether member states [9:55] choose to participate in military operations is ultimately a decision for each elected government. [9:59] Disagreeing with that decision is one thing, but suggesting that allies are somehow obligated to [10:04] support every action is a very different argument. I also found it striking that so much of the [10:09] discussion focused on loyalty to political leaders rather than the practical questions surrounding [10:13] policy. In my view, political debate works best when it's driven by evidence and reason, [10:17] not by personal attacks or demands for unquestioning support. As for Ian Dale, while I don't always [10:22] agree with his views, I do think he eventually reached the point where he felt the conversation was [10:27] no longer productive. Once the discussion became increasingly personal, he decided to end the interview, [10:31] and that's the moment everyone is talking about. But that's just my perspective. What did you make of this debate? [10:36] Did Ian Dale do the right thing by ending the interview, or should he have let it continue? [10:39] Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.
