| The African National Congress has been receiving money from Iran to fill up its poorest financials. | |
| They were bankrupt. | |
| And then all of a sudden they had more than enough money to pay their bills, pay their salaries, but also launch the ICJ case against Israel. | |
| And the ANC has been relying on Russia and China, but very much Iran, to keep it afloat financially and have this sort of support required on the international stage. | |
| South Africa is one of the top 10 countries to vote against America in the United Nations on almost every occasion. | |
| And having Iran out of action, certainly for the time being, if not permanently, will be a big blow for the ANC because their main patron that's been paying them is now has definitely got other things to worry about. | |
| Well, so let's go back to this recent meeting with President Cyril Ramafosa and President Trump. | |
| I mean, Cyril Ramafosa wanted to reset the relationship with America. | |
| And of course, we know all about the president playing some of the, you know, some of the actions, significant actions taken against South African whites and so forth and confronted him in this, in the very public way. | |
| How is this reset going? | |
| And also, does this change? | |
| I mean, this sounds like a profound change from what you're saying in terms of what the ANC is going to do. | |
| Does that affect this reset idea? | |
| So when Donald Trump announced tariffs across the board on countries and then said, you can see I'm serious. | |
| I'm going to put tariffs on everyone, reciprocal tariffs, but you've got 90 days to come and see me and negotiate trade deals. | |
| And 70, I think 70 countries turned up very quickly to negotiate trade deals with America. | |
| South Africa was very slow to move. | |
| And South Africa's interest in meeting Donald Trump didn't seem to be to talk about trade and tariffs. | |
| It seemed more to be, as you put it, to reset the relationship. | |
| And Sororomaposa, in my view, went to see Donald Trump to try and explain, South Africa is a sovereign nation. | |
| We can do what we like. | |
| We have a constitution. | |
| We have a democracy. | |
| And if we're going to implement laws like expropriation without compensation, black economic empowerment, and other laws, we have every right to do so. | |
| And you, America, need to understand what we're doing and respect it. | |
| That was Cyril Ramapose's intention. | |
| Donald Trump, on the other hand, is not at all impressed with South Africa. | |
| And I understand that entirely. | |
| South Africa has voted against America and the United Nations on a highly consistent basis. | |
| South Africa has been in bed with Russia, China, and very much Iran, enemies of America. | |
| South Africa has been very anti-Semitic, anti-Israel, launched the ICJ case against Israel, funded by Iran, has done everything possible to poke America in the eye and upset America. | |
| And I think on a bipartisan basis, Democrats and Republicans, America's had enough. | |
| And Donald Trump decided, when Sierra Ramaposa came to the White House, to not what I call do a Zelensky on him directly, but was actually very intelligent in how he approached his meeting with Sierra Ramaposa. | |
| He didn't directly attack the ANC or Ramaposa, but he showed on the television with the famous dim the light. | |
| He showed on the television screen a minority party with almost 10% of the voting population, so 60 million people, 6 million South Africans, to extrapolate the number, who support the EFF. | |
| Donald Trump showed a video of 100,000 people, red berets, jumping up and down in the football stadium, singing, kill the boer, kill the farmer. | |
| And what Donald Trump was cleverly trying to do was to say, listen, Mr. Solaramopoza, I'll show you the respect of you being here to try and talk to me about resetting the relationship. | |
| But how the hell can this happen in your country? | |
| And just to finish this thought, in South Africa, we have two farm attacks a day, two murders of farmers a week, and of those farm murders, 20% of them involve rape and torture. | |
| So that was Donald Trump's message to him. | |
| So you want us to reset the relationship? | |
| Well, how can you allow this to happen in your country? | |
| That's a fascinating explanation of what happened. | |
| But what has been the impact? | |
| Has there actually been a positive impact? | |
| Has been there a reduction in pharma attacks? | |
| No, there hasn't been any decrease in farm attacks. | |
| Cyril Ramaposa went back to South Africa and proclaimed his meeting as a huge victory. | |
| It was, in my view, it was a farce. | |
| And South Africa did not come out of it looking at all good. | |
| Donald Trump did. | |
| And there's been no concrete action yet from America on South Africa. | |
| But the ANC has been trumpeting it as a great success. | |
| We told Donald Trump, you're a sovereign nation, we know what we're doing, he should leave us alone. | |
| But there's been no discussion on trade and tariffs, certainly not outside the boardroom. | |
| We may not know what's going on behind the scenes. | |
| And if anything, I think America is about to unleash serious punishments, not on South Africa, but on the leaders, the ANC leaders, MK, EFF, anti-American and racist and socialist policies. | |
| I think that's coming. | |
| And as you know, Congressman Ronnie Jackson of Texas is putting together a bill, which will go to Congress and then to the Senate, which will be to sanction individuals in South Africa who've been guilty of those crimes. | |
| And that's underway. | |
| So let's unpack this whole issue of both farm attacks and then farmer murders. | |
| Can you unpack this whole picture for me? | |
| Like what has been happening and where do things stand now? | |
| In the year 1994, when we went from white minority rule peacefully to democratic rule and Nelson Mandela came in as our first president, we had 80,000 commercial farmers. | |
| We have 30,000 commercial farmers today. | |
| So there's been a huge amount Of persecution, pressure put on South African farmers. | |
| And it's not just white farmers, predominantly white. | |
| White people make up 7% of South Africa's population. | |
| 7%. | |
| It used to be 20% in 1994. | |
| We're now 7% of South Africa's population. | |
| But white farmers own 22% of the arable land. | |
| And so there's a lot of posturing by the leftists, by the ANC about the whites control all the farmland, the whites control all the land. | |
| It's not true. | |
| They're highly productive, the farmers, not just white farmers, but they are being victimized, targeted. | |
| And the EFF's hate speech, kill the boer, kill the farmer, one settler, one bullet, and let's slit the throat of whiteness, has a direct impact on farm attacks. | |
| So farm attacks spike after these rallies, they spike after this hate speech. | |
| And just to tell your viewers one more thing, our highest court deemed that those utterances, kill the boar, kill the farmer, one farmer, one settler, one bullet, was not hate speech. | |
| Well, if that's not hate speech, I don't know what is. | |
| But I can tell you right now that our judiciary is compromised. |
