What a hero! Utmost respect and immeasurable gratitude to you Matt. I would be so extremely proud and honoured to stand alongside you both as a jewish friend and as a brother in Truth.
Every journalist should aspire to be the calibre of journalist that Matt is. Thank you Matt for speaking truth to power. We need to be critical thinkers and constantly search for the truth.
Thanks for watching; this was a debate about “America’s Decline” and Matt spoke in favour of the motion. You can see the whole debate in this playlist if you’re interested: This House Believes British Democracy Has Failed th-cam.com/play/PLYpyB-7KwFc65-jqUhEZPI4OlqC1XduvS.html
You are right. It is not normal behaviour in a Cambridge Union debate. Almost everything he said was setting off fireworks in many of his listeners heads, not least the small red head who kept popping up with an indignant question.
@@l.w.paradis2108 yeah I thought they didn't realise they were reinforcing Matt's argument. Rude emotional accusations are not the same as reasoned arguments. To be frank I was shocked at the poor quality of interruptions. Were they all students or did members of the public attend?
🤔 I also wondered why people were allowed to interrupt Matt during his speech. I would have expected the Chair person to intervene and remind the audience how to behave. But no . . . the tactic of breaking his line of thought was deployed, creating a disjointed presentation in the minds of the listeners. Am I surprised? Certainly not!
Someone in the crowd at 2:44 accused journalist Kennard for saying Israeli police arrested Asa? Kennard rightly replied he didn't say Israeli police arrested him. The young chap still repeats this accusation to which Kennard again adamantly deny this. The kid needs to clear the wax out of his ears. Kennard clearly did not say Israeli police arrested Asa. He said the 13 police officers raided Asa's house. What is wrong with this crowd of people?? So embarrassing.
@jakeywilliams this is a typical Zionist strategy to kill the momentum and kill the debate. They throw in lies simply to interrupt the speaker and divert attention from the focus of the discussion. It's sickening and disgusting.
You would do good to take on board what Matt is saying. Easily the best journalist in the UK. Would say that it's a journalist job to report objective reality and if that holds power to account, so be it.
Matt Kennard is a brilliant journalist and advocate for true democracy. Pity we couldn't hear most of the questions. Can you guys not afford a roving mic?
Thanks for watching the debate, sadly we don’t usually provide microphones for interventions for a number of reasons (particularly obstruction of speaker’s time limits/taking too long to provide mics). Each speaker has around 10 minutes to make their point, audience members can make interventions if agreed by the speaker; the audience interventions must be under 30 seconds and phrased as a question; as a result it isn’t always feasible for our staff to get microphones to participants quickly enough. We do agree that the lack of audibility of the participants does impact the overall experience and we’ll look into ways we can make this work more favourably for our viewers - thanks for your comment and feedback and hope you still enjoy our videos!
@@cambridgeunionsoc1815 Perhaps this problem would be less likely to arise if the chairperson included in the introduction a polite request for people not to interrupt the speaker but to wait for the allotted discussion time following the main speech. I've seen that in quite a few debates.
We hold “floor speeches” that take place between each round of proposition & opposition speakers that allows participants to express their views with access to microphones - we have had however had issues in the past with permission/publicity regarding published videos of audience participants so we exclusively feature the floor speeches on the live broadcasts as to protect both free speech whilst also trying to protect attributions of our audience members that may wish to remain anonymous
@@cambridgeunionsoc1815 Maybe you could add subtitles, or get someone with a mic to repeat or summarise the questions/floor speeches. Thanks for the response btw!
@@cambridgeunionsoc1815🤔 Anonymity disguises many sins. You must know who is attending such a function? Or is it an open meeting for anyone to attend without registering their details?
The lady in the background looks like she is in total comtempt of everything that is being said. Overall it looks like no-one there is actually listening, why did they ask him to speak? If these people represent the future of the UK, we need a revolution now.
l thought places of education were about searching for truth, clearly the truth is too painful for those privileged enough to go to its elite institutions, thank you Matt.
We need PR (the best possible version thereof) to prevent Labour and Cons from ever having an absolute majority again. That's why both main parties fight tooth and claw to keep FPTP.
Quite a hostile crowd. Shame we couldn't quite hear all the comments made by other people very well. But good on him for pointing out that politician in front of him and calling him corrupt. Silence from the crowd though and silence from the politician. He's right though. Cambridge is a breeding ground for oligarchs and complicit oligarchs.
Well done Matt, fantastic address and debate….anyone who hasn’t read The Racket should do so…especially our ginger friend who asked the questions during the address….maybe you will learn something about the truth hidden behind the veil.
This debate just emphasises more the fact that its not because you are able to go to Cambridge university or alike you have brain, morals or HEART. Thank you DECLASSIFIED.
Hmmm...FAO Cambridge Union...I get that you want to be different but why not have the Q&A (they are interruptions mid-flow) by microphone only after the speaker has finished? The listeners cannot hear the interruptions anyway.
3:24 I mean how can at criticising a state possibly be the same as criticising an ethnicity? I think finally this old canard is getting tired. It´s never occurred to me for five minutes that criticising Israel implies antisemitism in any way. Oh God that utter little nob, "why is it only Israel?" I mean does he know what Whataboutery is?
> how can at criticising a state possibly be the same as criticising an ethnicity? Ask that to the powerful lobby in the USA which just tried to pass a law explicitly equating criticism of Israel with antisemitism. That equivalence is already assumed by the German police. It may be an old canard, but its wings are still flapping vigorously.
Jewish is not an ethnicity. It is a religion. Jews come in many different ethnic groups: Ashkenazi, Sephardic, mizrahi, Arab, Turkish, Lebanese, Yemeni, levantine, Iraqi, Irani, Persian, Kurdish, balochi, Ethiopian, Sudanese, etc.
Matt comes across here like a cat in a room full of salivating dogs. Most dogs will not attack a cat unless they are in a pack with other dogs. Here Matt was constantly interrupted by establishment pawns who are a large part of the problem which Matt is addressing. Fortunately he is a full time investigator and is therefore extremely well informed and was therefore able to give back as much, if not more, than was thrown at him. Possibly his main sin, in the eyes of his listeners and tormentors, was his distinctly London accent.
Audience members can make interventions and attributions to the Debate in “Points of Interest” which must be under 30 seconds and phrased as a question (with no rebuttal) - these then have to be accepted by the speaker. If any audience members interrupt beyond denial, the Chair may remove them from the Chamber. We do not currently provide microphones for interventions due to time constraints. Thanks for your comment and hope you enjoyed the video! Here’s the rest of the debate: This House Believes British Democracy Has Failed th-cam.com/play/PLYpyB-7KwFc65-jqUhEZPI4OlqC1XduvS.html
This was a well presented argument, but as a debate it failed in every way. Where are the results of the vote? Why was there no rolling transcript from inaudible challenges? Without those things this is a one way assertion, an accusation left unchallenged. Let the viewer at least hear the pitiful, rhetoric from establishment mouthpieces in training so we will recognise their manipulations when their platform becomes that of MP, Lord, or other conditioned mouthpiece for establishment control.
Here’s a link to all the arguments in the debate: This House Believes British Democracy Has Failed th-cam.com/play/PLYpyB-7KwFc65-jqUhEZPI4OlqC1XduvS.html Due to a number of reasons, particularly time constraints, we aren’t able to provide microphones for the interventions and therefore reserve “floor speeches” where participants can engage the debate with microphones (these are limited to our broadcasts to protect audience members’ attributions from abuse). We will however find ways to improve the audibility and quality of audience interventions for future events; thanks for watching and thanks for your comment!
Matt is this generation's Greg Palast, reporting in the style of works such as "The Best Democracy Money Can Buy", a book that saw him have to leave the US whether he liked it or not. As with early career Palast, his work is no nonsense, no frills, fact seeking and uncompromised. Journalism of a type now only available in alternative media or from states outside the total dominance of the West. Keep going Matt but be careful. They'll be coming for you soon I strongly suspect. They would have done so already but their last attempt to silence him failed through his successful legal challenge. They'll try again though before long. Tread the line with specific terminology under legal advice please Matt, we need you free and busy busting lies and revealing important truths!
It's a Latin word pronounced in Latin as pre-face. The Americans says it as pre-face too where we in the UK say preface. Matt lived in the US when he attended University of California and when he did his masters at the Columbia University School of Journalism. He obviously picked up this American English pronunciation or simply from when he spent time in Latin America.
Starmer is where he is due to powerful interests. Those interests are billionaire interests, MI5, MI6 also linked to big finance and the likes of Murdoch. It's the same in the US.. and where else.
Speaking truth with eloquence - facts are facts - thank you Matt kennard
Matt is a brilliant articulate journalist. Thankyou .
Bravo Matt🎉 Speaking truth is a lonely business. The populace are just happy to go with the majority, regardless of the right or wrong.

I half expected the orange haired fellow to interject again and demand to know whether or not the speaker condemns the actions of hamas on Oct 7th...
He's probably tilted because his dad owns one of the institutions Mat is talking about.
It’s akin to programming.
Orange haired...so he is either Irish and Scottish descent and yet, serve the Zionist propaganda
Yeah I was expecting it from him at some point he looks like he drank that Kool-aid all the way
