Let's cross to the UK joining us is
finance entrepreneur and geopolitics
expert Dr Roger G Roger it's great to
speak with you there's just three weeks
to go until Brits head to the polls and
decide who will be the next prime
minister and reform UK party leader has
released this campaign
video Nigel farage Nigel farage Nigel
farage has had building Rubble thrown at
him on the campaign Trail in South
Yorkshire yeah well there we are so if
you go to university this is what they
teach you not to have an open debate and
disagree but to shout down this is so
symptomatic of where we are with our
politics in this country actually it's
terrible a new OV poll shows that Niger
farage's reform UK party is trailing
just one point behind the Tories and the
poll places labor at 38% Tories at 18%
and reform UK at
177% Roger how has farage been
able to gain so much momentum mean just
a short period of
time I think that the momentum was there
it was building up
tremendously uh as people were getting
more and more frustrated I guess is the
word I want to use with um Mr sunak and
Mr and Sir Keith star Kier
starmer uh they're just so Bland and
boring and
stupid and empty and
irritating uh you know people just just
are sick of them and all of the
politicians and they wanted Nigel a lot
of people wanted
Nigel and he hesitated and then made up
his mind to come back so that brought a
real ground swell with him uh that's
number one uh uh but that's you know
kind of
cosmetic uh Gabriella I I think more
importantly number two is that what he
and reform are saying makes a hell of a
lot more sense than what any of the
other parties are saying and people are
starting to pay attention and listen to
that whether it will get them anywhere
because of the tremendous voter apathy
will people still turn out at the
polls uh who knows uh and also because
of our first pass the post system
no proportional representation it's very
very difficult almost impossible for a
party other than the Tories or labor to
get
in so what can we expect between now and
July 4 I suppose will that momentum keep
building is that what you
expect I think the momentum will keep
building I think that uh I I think that
that fishy rishy
um
90% with the rest of the conservatives
knows that their Goose has been well
cooked over 14 years I think that
starmer and his rather delusional
cronies think that they actually have a
plan that makes sense and they're going
to be able to change the country I I
don't think so but I think you know
they're pretty confident of getting in I
I think that reform could surprise
everybody and take a lot of
seats but then there's an old uh
political saying which is something
always happens at the last moment that's
completely
unexpected I don't know what that will
be um but you know it changes things so
we need to keep our eye out for that but
yeah I think we'll see three weeks of
frenzy campaign and momentum and more
and more shouting more and more noise
more and more
promises uh tax cuts which aren't really
tax cuts I mean anything in the world
they can think of that might make the
voters happy which they should have said
14 years ago uh they will throw out
there now both sides and what will it
produce nobody knows it looks like
probably a labor Victory or a hung
Parliament but who knows what does this
movement behind Nigel farage say about
Donald Trump Trump and his chances in
November uh well I mean you know Trump
is going strong
and we've got tomorrow to see if the
rumors that have been going around for
three months not over here or with you
but mainly in the states that Biden is
going to stand down for ill health
reasons tomorrow June 13th we'll see if
that happens and he's supposed to be
replaced by Gavin Nome the highly
divisive left leaning governor of
California uh will that happen won't
that happen who knows it's been a very
strong rumor that everybody's been
talking about um but I think you know
that won't affect Trump uh Nome can give
Trump a run for his money but I I don't
think he can beat him so I think that uh
uh Nigel will do his job reform will get
some seats they won't be a force to
reckon with perhaps and then Nigel will
go off and help Trump but Nigel I think
is doing this for the election after
this he wants to build reform into a
replacement for the conservative
party okay well we'll wait and see if
those rumors are true what would that do
to the Democrats and and their chances
if Joe Biden were was to stand
down well I think their chances would be
a lot better because um you know they
have somebody who is uh healthier and
dare I say you know more compass mous in
place they have somebody who's going to
uh at least on the face of it last the
course for the next four years um so
that that would I think that will give
Democratic voters more confidence
because I mean they must be worried
about the state of Biden in the video
that's gone viral yesterday with
everybody dancing around him and him
standing there like he just soiled
himself or something I mean it's you
know one feels very bad for him um but I
mean that would give anybody Comfort to
see somebody like Nome step in and and
be more energetic so yeah that'll help
their chances
