Now This Is what a potential “female” presidential or prime ministerial candidate ought to be - an accomplished, pull up by the bootstraps kind of person who makes you focus on the issues rather than her gender.
My thoughts EXACTLY! I literally just said that to my female partner. I would bet that all of those people who DIDN'T vote for Harris would ENTHUSIASTICALLY vote for Kemi Badenoch!
About Kamala: Or her “values that have not changed”, that cannot string a sentence together if it is not memorized. She was such an embarrassment as VP, and the it got more disastrous.
Kemi please continue being you. We have tried defending all the mess happening in Nigeria all in the name of patriotism, nothing has changed. You are truly more honest than I am
Sometimes you all lack sense , person that keep lying for she wants to lick her master ass , keep saying things that reduce nigeria rather than focusing on her motive , only deep thinking can relate what game she is doing , imagine asking her something that doesn’t concern nigeria she will throw nigeria into the picture
No, she embellished the truth with a pinch of lie. At no time in Nigeria in her lifetime did any government choose which school you must attend. That was left to our parents.
Kemi is an untypical politician. Straight talking, unambiguous, bold, unafraid to take a stand on issues, a happy warrior against norms, the list goes on and on. She’s going to be a force to reckon with, not only in Britain but around the world in the years to come. So proud of you.
I'm British and its crazy watching this interview compared to the image of her in the news. She's a very clear thinker and love her confidence. Don't think Starmer will have much of a chancs against her if its a two-way race.
She is perhaps just a British politician with fundamental 'Nigerianness' that is ready to do so much to achieve her ambition. She's loud, confidend, forward and can act out (sometimes to a fault - in a 'holier than the Pope' way) in order to fit in or have her way. She knows exactly why she's saying what she's saying and the impact she expects from it. These social skills are somehow survival traits in Nigeria especially when you look at it from the perspective of seeing wealth and followed by poverty. It's exactly because of individuals like her who spin words and act in certain ways to get her wish (inert desperation) that we are still where we're in Nigeria. I can assure you it's very difficult to beat such a Nigerian in such a highly organised, civilized and predictable societies. One can discern exactly the constuency she is appealing to, and she'll most likely win... unless...
@@fred1125absolutely. The shallow circuses of Parliament and televised leadership debates rarely shows people at their best. Starmer makes mincemeat of her in PMQs. But I feel like in a long form debate (proper debate/discussion, not the terrible legacy-media rubbish) she would run rings around him.
As much as I like her, and as much as I am sure she could be the next Prime Minister, I wouldn't put her in the same category with Margaret Thatcher. Lady Thatcher is in a class of her own.
It’s not just about the leader, it’s about the team. And the Conservative Party is hardly a party. You have probably heard this or read this many times already, but Reform UK are the most sensible option for UK citizens come the next general election.
I just graduated this summer with BSc in economics and now am half way through my MSc financial Economics. I discovered Thomas Sowell during my second year of undergrad and I have now run out of his books since I have read them all. There will never be another author that will have the same impact on me ever in my life as much as Sowell did.
This is what we really lack in Nigeria. See what we are missing in our Nigeria. I’m so proud of you my intelligent sister. God will surely liberate Nigeria one day!
If Nigeria politicians can listen to her interviews they will learn how to lead the country aright but they won't... Nigeria destroyed due to lack of discipline and lack of knowledge
Are you listening to the same person? She lobbied for Nigerian immigration into the UK. She was PRO immigration and has now changed to capped immigration to suit public mood. That's not honest and I don't believe her rhetoric. Her election without policies when Jenrick had policies proves her appointment was a DEI box ticking exercise. Sick of the Liberal Tories and I will never forgive them for last 14 years. Insanity!!
Her comments on high skill immigration resonated so much with me. I'm not British or European but did my university career in the UK, got a PhD in Particle Physics and have lots of data engineering and software development experience as a result. While going through Uni I had to renew my visa 4 times because for some reason the student visa plans don't align to the course lengths declared by the university (3 years for a 4 year program), pay 700 GBP each time, and wait for 6 months while I do my university course without being able to leave the country (they take your passport while your applying). After finishing uni I went out to look for a job, and even though companies were desperate to hire people with my background, the amount of money and red tape that companies needed to go through to hire a foreigner was too much for most SMEs. I ended up going across the water to Ireland where my visa application was expedited because of my background and I started working within a few weeks of getting the role. Prospective immigrants should have to be vetted to make sure you aren't bringing in people that might commit crimes, or not contribute to the country, or displace an equivalently capable local. But also you should make it make sense. If there's a shortage of local talent, don't put more barriers in the way to bringing in talent from outside. In my case, they'd already spent the time and effort to educate me so why not keep me and other folks like me. Makes no sense.
@@villhelm Thanks for the information; will look more into it. To be clear I hope nobody reads my comment as an endorsement of her, I've no idea what she did or did not do in the past. Just sharing my perspective.
This was a wonderful interview. Ms. Badenoch is excellent and a refreshing leader finally for Britain. She is absolutely right about identity politics and woke which is the most dangerous ideology to any liberal society. Woke is not for inclusion, it basically is division unhealthy and anti trust without a vision of prosperity for all.
Kemi Badenoch' mother travelled to UK to give birth to her, then returned to Nigeria with her once she got the e British citizenship, she grew up in in Nigeria and returned to UK at 16 only, do you think that she will be loyal to UK wholeheartedly? It will be a big threat if she is elected as prime minister
She has a deep understanding of culture wars issues, unlike most British politicians, and she's on the right side of most of those. Whether or not she shows herself to be an effective and desirable leader remains to be seen, though she's clearly quite fearless, which is an attractive quality and quite lacking in mainstream British politics these days. Early days, but I'm rooting for her.
Can we stop with the obsession of American culture war crap in this country. This country has serious problems, unserious populists have nothing positive to offer.

I love this woman. Political stripes are irrelevant, the « Tory policies that ruined the UK » are the same as the Canadian Liberal ones.. for instance, IE bad ideas and incentives can captivate any « side » I hope Kemi’s message permeates the noise and she gets to govern.

43:55 “I’m not somebody who starts with the rhetoric.” ~ Kemi Badenoch This is what’s needed: someone who sees how issues and policies are interrelated and interlocked, and how to make needed changes systematically. A systems analyst who speaks in simple, clear terms we can all understand. I’m an American living in my native California and I would vote for her if I could. 1:11:50 “moral courage and confidence” She knows what our western values are and has the moral courage and confidence to say so. In that, she has the spine of The Iron Lady, but she is indeed her own person.
I am a Nigerian, living in Nigeria and over 40 years old. May God continue to bless and guide kemi for us. EVERYTHING KEMI HAS SAID SO FAR ABOUT NIGERIA IS THE TRUTH, AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH. Government officials in Nigeria are crooks or worse.
She's incredible. The best candidate either party has fielded in many years! Let's hope Labour don't completely destroy the UK before the next election when she gets voted in
What makes anyone think that an economic immigrant, who has said exactly nothing that is her own, and just repeats all the populist talking points of the day, with no particular oratory skill, who was voted as leader because of identity politics (whilst selling us anti-identity politics), to an out of touch, traitorous and so-called “conservative” party, that is responsible for mass immigration on steroids, will do anything differently ?!
I'm a Kemi supporter, but let's be clear, Reform are centre right, not hard right. And I'll be voting for them if the Tories don't sort themselves out.
Agreed and if an alliance between Reform and the Cons is needed (which I think it will be) I could see Kemi and Nigel Farage working together very well.
@@stevesmith3990 They will never work together. You need to understand that regardless of the rhetoric, the Tories have more in common with the Lib Dems and Labour than Reform. The Tories are fundamentally a social democratic party. They see Reform as an existential threat and will not do any deals with them.
Kemi Badenoch and Katharine Birbalsingh are two black women who will revitalize Britain because they are those immigrants who came to UK for the UK values not for the value of UK pound. I pray for them to win!
She came exactly for the U.K. pound! What are you talking about ?! It is a known fact that Badenoch’s mother gave birth to her in the U.K. for citizenship. People like her aren’t particularly loyal to any one place so the English, Welsh, Scots and N Irish won’t accept her - unless they are part of the globalist elite traitor class. Badenoch floated from Nigeria to the U.K. to get on. She would have kept going if she couldn’t make it here because she has no particular loyalty to Britain, other than it did her well to stay. Sunak too was a globalist. His grandparents are from India, family moved to Africa, then to the UK and he has a US visa in his back pocket. These people aren’t loyal to one country. They go where it suits them financially. Britain needs a person who is loyal through and through as a leader. The Brits won’t vote for her, just like they didn’t vote for Sunak. The Tories are completely out of touch. They would have done better to take Jenrick who spoke of mass deportations. However, they went with identity - again!!
@@Tamara-qd5dc well said, they are more British than many of those establishment tory boys out there. I have many European immigrants living around me and they are so grateful that they live here, they have great respect for this country and our way of life, it’s the dumb white middle class lefties that have lost their way, it’s such a shame

Top interview Bari. It's great to see long interviews aimed at understanding the interviewee in detail. Not sure why this is so rare but it is. Much kudos to you and your team. I now feel I have a truer understanding of a key political figure (kemi) in my country, thank you.

Quite the striking difference eh? Between her and Harris..or Trump for that matter. If you had wanted someone like her..a rational bridges builder ..you should have voted for RFK
You for add "fantastically" for the country name. APC go dey jittery, abi Tinubu. I wish she takes over and place our corrupt leaders where they should be.
@@ifyjossy98 Ozuoh like you don't realize Nigeria is not APC or Tinubu. Do you think if your preferred candidate emerges as President of Nigeria, the damage done to the country's PR won't negatively impact him?
She gains nothing by denigrating Nigeria she left 20 years again. Definitely, her experiences and understanding of Nigeria are already obsolete. And anybody agreeing with her is surely being political. Let her focus on her goal for Britain. Interjecting negative issues about Nigeria will only build unnecessary opposition for her, which may eventually give her opposition tools to hurt her.
And she got to where she got not because of her immutable characteristics, but because she's good. Identity politics had nothing to do with her rise. Which is why she's respected. Democrats take note.

@@enzowilson345 Nothing you’ve said is true. Badenoch was almost certainly selected in 2010 as part of David Cameron’s diversification drive for the party because it was “too white” according to him. She is by reputation a terrible constituency mp, a poor cabinet minister, resorting to valid slogans about identity politics as a substitute for any real policy agenda.
Lol she was literally picked by a handful of Tory elites and of course, her being a woman of color played a big role. Same reason they put Priti Patel and Suella Braveman in charge of immigration. To have token they can use as shields against accusations of racism.

That ain't going to happen, it has been established that the UK is an institutional racist country FACT! There are so many English = Germans in our country.
That was a great interview! Kemi was forthright, thoughtful, and definitely has a vision for her country. I pray Kemi Badenoch is successful for the sake all the citizens of the United Kingdom.
What an edifying and illuminating introduction to Kemi Badenoch for those of us who know little about her! I am inspired and encouraged by her intelligence, common sense and moral courage. Lots to love across issues, though I especially appreciate her opposition to gender ideology, which puts vulnerable young people -- many of whom are gay -- in harm's way, and threatens the rights of all females to their own sports and spaces. She is spot on in stating that the material reality of being female is a powerfully life-shaping fact, not some abstraction that trans-identified males can put on and take off like a jacket. Thanks for this wonderful interview; I hope her star continues to rise and that she one day becomes Prime Minister. If only we had a leader like Badenoch in the United States!
There is only one Margaret Thatcher, there can be no 'next'. If Badenoch wants to fill those high heels she needs to grab the Conservative Party by the neck and shake them back to reality. Then CONVINCE the general public to SEE that they HAVE changed, OR we vote Farage.
The one huge big fatal flaw in the current so-called ''Conservative'' Party is that the vast majority of them are just NOT ''Conservatives'' in ANY real serious, shape or form & it's even worse in the current Conservative Parliamentary Party of a meagre 121MPs or whatever it is exactly, with nearly ALL of them NOT real & proper ''Conservatives'' either, but instead ONLY some kind of Dem Lib, Liebour types but for sure, just NOT ''Conservatives'' & so what chance can they ever have if a so-called ''Conservative'' Party is NOT ''Conservative'' for goodness sake?
She did not come up with the comparison herself. And Faragegege? The guy who brought Brexit and then effed off to the EU with his German wife? Typical politician with luxury beliefs - "policies for you, but not for me".

100%. Insufferable Tools like Trudeau don't understand that nobody is scared of strong, smart women. Not only that, but she most certainly doesn't need his infantile grinning patronage as a "proud male feminist" to get ahead.
I don't think so, no. She needs to marinade a little. Watch all the Dominic Cummings podcasts, work out what to do and get control over Central Office to deselect all the Liberal Democrats in her party.

I hope Reform hardliners listen to this, I have always said to Reform voters, enjoy labour and their super majority became YOU put them their. The British majority will not vote Reform sufficiently to put them in power. Stop splitting the center right vote!
As a Nigerian Igbo woman and to be fair to Kemi, I understand why she wants to dissociate herself with that mess of a country. Nigeria is a failed state with a drug lord for a president. She hasn't insulted Nigerians or Africans.

That was a genuinely great interview. If the British Labour Party continue to to punish the pensioners, farmers, and other groups, while not doing anything to stop a million immigrants flooding into the country every year, Kemi could well be the next British Prime Minister.
If only Kemi had been leading the Conservatives years ago - the UK could have avoided the absolute catastrophe it's now undergoing. I hope she can bring sanity back to England!
If she had been leading the Tories years ago, they still would have failed and lost the election, they talk right and govern left. Like she said, she needs to boot out all the Pro EU and socialists, and Liberals and left wing MPs from the Tory party if they ever will have a hope of becoming a Conservative Party again. I can't see that ever happening
For all this talk about how people allegedly didn’t want to vote for Kamala because she was a black woman - I listened to this interview and thought to myself that if we had black women like Kemi here in in the United States I would happily and enthusiastically vote for them and I most certainly would not be the only one.
Well, as a Brit, it's not even clear whether the British people will vote for her yet, nevermind America. Her popularity levels here are still rather low.

within a minute of hearing her talk you can tell she's just incredibly intelligent. like more intelligent than you can imagine the leader of a country being. I hope she manages to stay in office a long time.
What a refreshing and amazing woman! Can we clone her? (And, "Thank you," to another refreshing and amazing woman, Bari Weiss, who brought us this enlightening interview.)
I like the fact that she didn’t paint herself as a self made person, she recognizes and gives credit to the people that helped her in her journey so far.
But she is self-made. From 16-on, self-made. how else do you define self-made? People don’t have to start homeless uneducated and or with crimal record to be called self-made. Our VP is not self made.
@ she is self made? her parents birthed her in the Uk, earning her a Uk citizenship, her dad gave her the best education she could get in Nigeria, her Dad gave her the funds to return to the Uk, her mum’s friend gave her shelter. Her husband’s encouragements helped her to get to where she is today, she said that her self. How on earth is she self made? She is so so privileged.
The response she gave at 50:10 feels irrelevant. You cannot compare the UK, which looted artifacts from Africa, especially Nigeria's Benin bronzes, to Nigeria, which is still much younger in terms of democracy and governance. However, I do not have any ill will against the UK and Kemi's ideology. But she should please stop using Nigeria as her scapegoat. Yes, we have bad actors in our country, but she should also know that there are bad actors everywhere, including the UK. If the UK and other countries were not enabling them by allowing the bad actors to steal our funds and safely hide them in the UK and other Western countries, Nigeria would have one less problem to deal with. Good luck to her in all her endeavors. I believe she can achieve her goals without the constant media charade she is putting up about Nigeria, a country I do not believe she cares about (in my opinion). Cheers!
First of all black Africans are the ones that have and still enabling the west to loot of funds and minerals as Africans we need to be truthful and take accountability she’s telling the truth and bcz she’s honest about where she comes from she’s very relatable in my opinion

And Nigeria was a former British colony. The connection between Britain and Nigeria was initiated by Britain, and it was British law that granted her citizenship. Her family didn't close their eyes and put their finger on a map

Both Britain and America have lost touch with the concept of what Americans used to call “The Melting Pot“. When you immigrate to a new country, your cultural history certainly comes with you, but you’re immigrating for a reason. It’s crucial that you value your new country and culture enough to want to melt into it.

Now I have seen it I am glad she didnt succumb to the, starkly delusional, Petersonian line that "we just need Christianity". No, we do not,. We need precisely what Kemi outlines - a compassionate and principled British value set that is not frightened to stand up for itself and puts Brits first and foremost. Oh, and Kemi, if you read this, neither god not his followers are interested in agnosticism, they want belief. Indeed, the god in question has an eternity of conscious torment in fire for anyone who does *not* affirm belief. "Abide in me or depart into everlasting fire". Superstitions like this are not the answer. They also happen to not be true. Other than that, excellent stuff. Now lets get on with the business of communicating these ideas to lay people and get Starmer - the Islamist enabler - out.

I am SO EXCITED about this interview! I ran into my home tonight, raving about it! I have a computer science background and am a passionate "classical liberal" (what most Americans know as libertarians). I grew up admiring Reagan and Thatcher. It is so encouraging to see such influential leaders emerging in media (Bari) and politics (Kemi); I have renewed faith that Western values will survive. My partner and I love the Honestly podcast, as we are lesbians who have gone off-script with our beliefs and values. Thank you for all that you do to defend these crucial values. We are proud to fight along your side!
Really impressive, I hope fellow voters in the UK take the time to listen to her properly and give her a chance. I can’t imagine Starmer doing this interview and being so fluent, articulate and to the point.

@yipzoe You keep posting the same stupid comment everywhere as if someone couldn't be British if one spends some years abroad. Criticise her on her politics and not her parents decisions.

@ she schooled in England, speaks English as a first language, is a qualified British engineer and was just elected to be leader of the Conservative Party. She’s English, like it or lump it.
@JJStockman both of her parents are Nigerian and she grew up in Nigeria, she returned to UK at 16 only, she definitely speaks the language of Nigeria as first language
She is such an intelligent and beautiful woman with common sense approaches on all issues. It will be great to Watch Britain fall in love with this leader over the next few years!
Bari and Kemi, for me you share a remarkably similar trajectory in my estimation these past 5 years or so. At first interesting Then disappointing... but Thanks to this excellent interview... I now rate both of you VERY highly Good luck to you both Uk guy 🇬🇧
When someone says "...I am not an atheist I am agnostic I used to believe very much but now I describe myself as a cultural Christian" that sounds to me like some who is rebeling against the idea of a "religious God" that has been presented to her over the years. However, God is revealed to us. God became visible in Christ. Kemi, Jesus gives face to the invisible God. Ref: John 14: 7-9.

My thoughts EXACTLY! I literally just said that to my female partner. I would bet that all of those people who DIDN'T vote for Harris would ENTHUSIASTICALLY vote for Kemi Badenoch!

About Kamala:
Or her “values that have not changed”, that cannot string a sentence together if it is not memorized. She was such an embarrassment as VP, and the it got more disastrous.
Kemi please continue being you. We have tried defending all the mess happening in Nigeria all in the name of patriotism, nothing has changed.
You are truly more honest than I am
Sometimes you all lack sense , person that keep lying for she wants to lick her master ass , keep saying things that reduce nigeria rather than focusing on her motive , only deep thinking can relate what game she is doing , imagine asking her something that doesn’t concern nigeria she will throw nigeria into the picture
I love her
She's so blunt
And everything she said about Nigeria is the truth
Beign blunt doesn't necessarily mean intelligent
No, she embellished the truth with a pinch of lie. At no time in Nigeria in her lifetime did any government choose which school you must attend. That was left to our parents.
@@specialeffect1990she’s blunt and intelligent
Kemi is an untypical politician. Straight talking, unambiguous, bold, unafraid to take a stand on issues, a happy warrior against norms, the list goes on and on. She’s going to be a force to reckon with, not only in Britain but around the world in the years to come. So proud of you.
I'm British and its crazy watching this interview compared to the image of her in the news. She's a very clear thinker and love her confidence. Don't think Starmer will have much of a chancs against her if its a two-way race.
She is perhaps just a British politician with fundamental 'Nigerianness' that is ready to do so much to achieve her ambition. She's loud, confidend, forward and can act out (sometimes to a fault - in a 'holier than the Pope' way) in order to fit in or have her way. She knows exactly why she's saying what she's saying and the impact she expects from it. These social skills are somehow survival traits in Nigeria especially when you look at it from the perspective of seeing wealth and followed by poverty. It's exactly because of individuals like her who spin words and act in certain ways to get her wish (inert desperation) that we are still where we're in Nigeria. I can assure you it's very difficult to beat such a Nigerian in such a highly organised, civilized and predictable societies. One can discern exactly the constuency she is appealing to, and she'll most likely win... unless...
@@fred1125absolutely. The shallow circuses of Parliament and televised leadership debates rarely shows people at their best. Starmer makes mincemeat of her in PMQs. But I feel like in a long form debate (proper debate/discussion, not the terrible legacy-media rubbish) she would run rings around him.
As much as I like her, and as much as I am sure she could be the next Prime Minister, I wouldn't put her in the same category with Margaret Thatcher. Lady Thatcher is in a class of her own.
It’s not just about the leader, it’s about the team. And the Conservative Party is hardly a party. You have probably heard this or read this many times already, but Reform UK are the most sensible option for UK citizens come the next general election.
I just graduated this summer with BSc in economics and now am half way through my MSc financial Economics. I discovered Thomas Sowell during my second year of undergrad and I have now run out of his books since I have read them all. There will never be another author that will have the same impact on me ever in my life as much as Sowell did.

This is what we really lack in Nigeria. See what we are missing in our Nigeria.
I’m so proud of you my intelligent sister.
God will surely liberate Nigeria one day!
If Nigeria politicians can listen to her interviews they will learn how to lead the country aright but they won't... Nigeria destroyed due to lack of discipline and lack of knowledge
She's not who you think she'll be. Nasty, divisive woman with the hint of a typical politician.
Kemi is a legend already! And I have signed up as a conservative as result of her message and reason for running.
She seems ideologically more courages and conservative than the last 20 years of fake conservatives
Legend?!?! 😂
Are you listening to the same person? She lobbied for Nigerian immigration into the UK. She was PRO immigration and has now changed to capped immigration to suit public mood. That's not honest and I don't believe her rhetoric. Her election without policies when Jenrick had policies proves her appointment was a DEI box ticking exercise. Sick of the Liberal Tories and I will never forgive them for last 14 years. Insanity!!
Her comments on high skill immigration resonated so much with me. I'm not British or European but did my university career in the UK, got a PhD in Particle Physics and have lots of data engineering and software development experience as a result.
While going through Uni I had to renew my visa 4 times because for some reason the student visa plans don't align to the course lengths declared by the university (3 years for a 4 year program), pay 700 GBP each time, and wait for 6 months while I do my university course without being able to leave the country (they take your passport while your applying).
After finishing uni I went out to look for a job, and even though companies were desperate to hire people with my background, the amount of money and red tape that companies needed to go through to hire a foreigner was too much for most SMEs. I ended up going across the water to Ireland where my visa application was expedited because of my background and I started working within a few weeks of getting the role.
Prospective immigrants should have to be vetted to make sure you aren't bringing in people that might commit crimes, or not contribute to the country, or displace an equivalently capable local. But also you should make it make sense. If there's a shortage of local talent, don't put more barriers in the way to bringing in talent from outside. In my case, they'd already spent the time and effort to educate me so why not keep me and other folks like me. Makes no sense.
Except while she was in the Conservative government she lobbied for more African migration to England. Watch what these people do, not what they say.
@@villhelm ditto!
@@villhelm Thanks for the information; will look more into it. To be clear I hope nobody reads my comment as an endorsement of her, I've no idea what she did or did not do in the past. Just sharing my perspective.
I love Badenoch's candor. And Weiss's too. More of this. Can we make candor the next thing?
The FP was FOUNDED on it.
They have done rather well so far too.
This was a wonderful interview. Ms. Badenoch is excellent and a refreshing leader finally for Britain. She is absolutely right about identity politics and woke which is the most dangerous ideology to any liberal society. Woke is not for inclusion, it basically is division unhealthy and anti trust without a vision of prosperity for all.
She lobbied for more immigration and is part of the problem. Her party is now toxic and unpopular in the UK.

She has a deep understanding of culture wars issues, unlike most British politicians, and she's on the right side of most of those. Whether or not she shows herself to be an effective and desirable leader remains to be seen, though she's clearly quite fearless, which is an attractive quality and quite lacking in mainstream British politics these days. Early days, but I'm rooting for her.
She is an absolute disgrace
The fact the first thing you mentioned is culture wars says it all

43:55 “I’m not somebody who starts with the rhetoric.” ~ Kemi Badenoch
This is what’s needed: someone who sees how issues and policies are interrelated and interlocked, and how to make needed changes systematically. A systems analyst who speaks in simple, clear terms we can all understand. I’m an American living in my native California and I would vote for her if I could. 1:11:50 “moral courage and confidence” She knows what our western values are and has the moral courage and confidence to say so. In that, she has the spine of The Iron Lady, but she is indeed her own person.
This woman has seen, live and tasted the other side. She knows the difference. And she spoke so eloquently about this.
I am a Nigerian, living in Nigeria and over 40 years old. May God continue to bless and guide kemi for us. EVERYTHING KEMI HAS SAID SO FAR ABOUT NIGERIA IS THE TRUTH, AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH. Government officials in Nigeria are crooks or worse.
Of course they are, our people are not interested in their jobs, because they are only there for what they can grab ( Money )
She's incredible. The best candidate either party has fielded in many years! Let's hope Labour don't completely destroy the UK before the next election when she gets voted in
What makes anyone think that an economic immigrant, who has said exactly nothing that is her own, and just repeats all the populist talking points of the day, with no particular oratory skill, who was voted as leader because of identity politics (whilst selling us anti-identity politics), to an out of touch, traitorous and so-called “conservative” party, that is responsible for mass immigration on steroids, will do anything differently ?!
The tories ruined our border and we're useless. Reform will hopefully put an end to her incompetent party
Wish we had someone like her leading the U.S. What an inspiring leader.
What about Kamal Harris? 🤔

I'm a Kemi supporter, but let's be clear, Reform are centre right, not hard right. And I'll be voting for them if the Tories don't sort themselves out.
Agreed and if an alliance between Reform and the Cons is needed (which I think it will be) I could see Kemi and Nigel Farage working together very well.
WE NEED TO LEAVE THE ECHR.
@@stevesmith3990 They will never work together. You need to understand that regardless of the rhetoric, the Tories have more in common with the Lib Dems and Labour than Reform. The Tories are fundamentally a social democratic party. They see Reform as an existential threat and will not do any deals with them.
😊😊
Agree, they're "dry Tories", not "hard right".
Kemi Badenoch and Katharine Birbalsingh are two black women who will revitalize Britain because they are those immigrants who came to UK for the UK values not for the value of UK pound. I pray for them to win!
She came exactly for the U.K. pound! What are you talking about ?!
It is a known fact that Badenoch’s mother gave birth to her in the U.K. for citizenship. People like her aren’t particularly loyal to any one place so the English, Welsh, Scots and N Irish won’t accept her - unless they are part of the globalist elite traitor class.
Badenoch floated from Nigeria to the U.K. to get on. She would have kept going if she couldn’t make it here because she has no particular loyalty to Britain, other than it did her well to stay.
Sunak too was a globalist. His grandparents are from India, family moved to Africa, then to the UK and he has a US visa in his back pocket. These people aren’t loyal to one country. They go where it suits them financially.
Britain needs a person who is loyal through and through as a leader. The Brits won’t vote for her, just like they didn’t vote for Sunak. The Tories are completely out of touch. They would have done better to take Jenrick who spoke of mass deportations. However, they went with identity - again!!
@@Tamara-qd5dc well said, they are more British than many of those establishment tory boys out there.

Agreed. This was a much more interesting interview than I initially thought it might be. Great stuff, and I've shared it with others . 👍
What an edifying and illuminating introduction to Kemi Badenoch for those of us who know little about her! I am inspired and encouraged by her intelligence, common sense and moral courage. Lots to love across issues, though I especially appreciate her opposition to gender ideology, which puts vulnerable young people -- many of whom are gay -- in harm's way, and threatens the rights of all females to their own sports and spaces. She is spot on in stating that the material reality of being female is a powerfully life-shaping fact, not some abstraction that trans-identified males can put on and take off like a jacket. Thanks for this wonderful interview; I hope her star continues to rise and that she one day becomes Prime Minister. If only we had a leader like Badenoch in the United States!
"The price of victory is eternal vigilance." I caught that.
There is only one Margaret Thatcher, there can be no 'next'. If Badenoch wants to fill those high heels she needs to grab the Conservative Party by the neck and shake them back to reality. Then CONVINCE the general public to SEE that they HAVE changed, OR we vote Farage.
The one huge big fatal flaw in the current so-called ''Conservative'' Party is that the vast majority of them are just NOT ''Conservatives'' in ANY real serious, shape or form & it's even worse in the current Conservative Parliamentary Party of a meagre 121MPs or whatever it is exactly, with nearly ALL of them NOT real & proper ''Conservatives'' either, but instead ONLY some kind of Dem Lib, Liebour types but for sure, just NOT ''Conservatives'' & so what chance can they ever have if a so-called ''Conservative'' Party is NOT ''Conservative'' for goodness sake?
She did not come up with the comparison herself. And Faragegege? The guy who brought Brexit and then effed off to the EU with his German wife? Typical politician with luxury beliefs - "policies for you, but not for me".

If only Kemi had been leading the Conservatives years ago - the UK could have avoided the absolute catastrophe it's now undergoing. I hope she can bring sanity back to England!
If she had been leading the Tories years ago, they still would have failed and lost the election, they talk right and govern left. Like she said, she needs to boot out all the Pro EU and socialists, and Liberals and left wing MPs from the Tory party if they ever will have a hope of becoming a Conservative Party again. I can't see that ever happening
The UK is 3 countries more than England.
I am proud of you aunty Kemi. You never even supported any identity politics the Nigerian media is attaching to you. I am proud of you Kemi
She should go on #JoeRogan
I would vote for this woman to be US president. She speaks common sense.
For all this talk about how people allegedly didn’t want to vote for Kamala because she was a black woman - I listened to this interview and thought to myself that if we had black women like Kemi here in in the United States I would happily and enthusiastically vote for them and I most certainly would not be the only one.
Well, as a Brit, it's not even clear whether the British people will vote for her yet, nevermind America. Her popularity levels here are still rather low.
Candace Owen if you are conservative.
If she was in the US, she would not be a democrat. That party joined in pulling down Kamala and her brilliance.
There is hope for Uk. Current regulations forcing bright, young and wealthy people to leave the country
Kemi Badenoch' s mother travelled to UK to give birth to her, then returned to Nigeria with her immediately once she got the e British citizenship, she spent her childhood in Nigeria and returned to UK at16 only, do you think that she will be loyal to UK wholeheartedly? It will be a big threat if she is elected as prime minister
@@yipzoe3865she is more loyal than starmer
@BackToSchool-e6e how can you expect a daughter of economic migrant to reduce migrants for you?
How can you expect a migrate without any British heritage to persevere British heritage in UK?

@@yipzoe3865she's giving a free pass to Nigel
Education is key 🗝️... Her talk is so insightful, yet brilliant.... She's so vibrant 💯 I'm wholesomely impressed.
Love from Nigeria 🇳🇬
Kemi is the remedy the UK needs
within a minute of hearing her talk you can tell she's just incredibly intelligent. like more intelligent than you can imagine the leader of a country being. I hope she manages to stay in office a long time.
What a refreshing and amazing woman! Can we clone her? (And, "Thank you," to another refreshing and amazing woman, Bari Weiss, who brought us this enlightening interview.)
I like the fact that she didn’t paint herself as a self made person, she recognizes and gives credit to the people that helped her in her journey so far.
But she is self-made.
From 16-on, self-made.
how else do you define self-made?
People don’t have to start homeless uneducated and or with crimal record to be called self-made.
Our VP is not self made.
@ she is self made? her parents birthed her in the Uk, earning her a Uk citizenship, her dad gave her the best education she could get in Nigeria, her Dad gave her the funds to return to the Uk, her mum’s friend gave her shelter. Her husband’s encouragements helped her to get to where she is today, she said that her self. How on earth is she self made? She is so so privileged.
The response she gave at 50:10 feels irrelevant. You cannot compare the UK, which looted artifacts from Africa, especially Nigeria's Benin bronzes, to Nigeria, which is still much younger in terms of democracy and governance.
However, I do not have any ill will against the UK and Kemi's ideology. But she should please stop using Nigeria as her scapegoat. Yes, we have bad actors in our country, but she should also know that there are bad actors everywhere, including the UK. If the UK and other countries were not enabling them by allowing the bad actors to steal our funds and safely hide them in the UK and other Western countries, Nigeria would have one less problem to deal with.
Good luck to her in all her endeavors. I believe she can achieve her goals without the constant media charade she is putting up about Nigeria, a country I do not believe she cares about (in my opinion). Cheers!
You are the fighting for artifacts when your counterparts in Asia particularly China are going to the space for science and technology
First of all black Africans are the ones that have and still enabling the west to loot of funds and minerals as Africans we need to be truthful and take accountability she’s telling the truth and bcz she’s honest about where she comes from she’s very relatable in my opinion
I love this woman
Thank God we have Kemi in the UK

@yipzoe3865 this is an odd comment considering the many critical comments she has made about Nigerian politics and society, both in this interview and other places.
The probability of having to choose between the UK and Nigeria, a relatively insignificant country in geopolitics, is minimal.
Also, I don't know if she was granted UK citizenship at birth, or if it was retroactively granted because of the CUKC laws
@@BoxOfOranges84 How can you expect a daughter of economic migrant to reduce migrants for you?

@yipzoe3865 the White Britons and Europeans gave you the immigration and cultural mess that you have now 🤣 I'm not saying that you need a non-white to fix it, but acknowledge that it's broken already and was broken under the watch of white Prime Ministers.
And Nigeria was a former British colony. The connection between Britain and Nigeria was initiated by Britain, and it was British law that granted her citizenship. Her family didn't close their eyes and put their finger on a map
@@yipzoe3865Boris chose loyalty to Ukraine, Starmer is choosing Ukraine over British farmers & pensioners, Kemi will be fine.
I'm South African, but I like her.
What she says resonates a lot with my own value system.
Her closest equivalent in South Africa is our own Helen Zille.
I love your descent comment. God bless you, iJn, amen.❤
When someone speaks with knowledge and comprehensiveness they eloquently flow and u don't hear any stammering, she's simply amazing.
I bet she won a few debate completions 😌😉 in her student times
I see what you did there. "You don't hear any "starmer-ing"
This woman is simply intelligent.It's not about the skin colour and she knows this fact.Keep it up there,Kemi.
I love Kemi's spirit, straight talking, and honesty. I hope she doesn't have to change too much if, or when, the Conservatives get back in power.
Vote conservative renewal.
Vote for capitalism, more money, happyness and freedon.
Kemi for PM or Bye-Bye great Britain. 👍😊🎈🎉🎆♥️💰💵💶
Why are Nigerian people complaining about Kemi? She is 100% here. Nigeria definitely affected and derailed her
You should get Pierre Poilievre on! He is the next likely PM of Canada, a country with similar problems to the UK.
What problems would they be?
I’m in Canada. We have insanely high taxes, high inflation, poor economy, Islamist takeover, out of control immigration changing the national character, mass antisemitism, censorship and inappropriate indoctrination of children and young students in schools with our tax dollars.
Pierre could learn from her. I will vote for him, but he needs to soften the tone and drop the gimmicks.

Great interview with Kemi Badenoch. I just subscribed to the channel!
1:13:00 This is 100% Australia. Almost every new job created under the present administration is either "public service" or government-dependent.
Brilliant, eloquent, forthright, honest, visionary, and relatable. I am just getting to know Kemi and I am very impressed and excited to hear more from her.
Kemi Badenoch rules!

Absolutely loved this interview.
Both Britain and America have lost touch with the concept of what Americans used to call “The Melting Pot“.
When you immigrate to a new country, your cultural history certainly comes with you, but you’re immigrating for a reason. It’s crucial that you value your new country and culture enough to want to melt into it.
And she is a badass❤❤❤I loved her tenacicy and piercing comments.
LOVE her (and Bari always of course)

I like Kemi, and i am just at the start of this so itll be great to hear what she has to say.
She's been destroyed by Starmer, she helped to open the doors to mass immigration...
Now I have seen it I am glad she didnt succumb to the, starkly delusional, Petersonian line that "we just need Christianity". No, we do not,. We need precisely what Kemi outlines - a compassionate and principled British value set that is not frightened to stand up for itself and puts Brits first and foremost.
Oh, and Kemi, if you read this, neither god not his followers are interested in agnosticism, they want belief. Indeed, the god in question has an eternity of conscious torment in fire for anyone who does *not* affirm belief. "Abide in me or depart into everlasting fire". Superstitions like this are not the answer. They also happen to not be true.
Other than that, excellent stuff. Now lets get on with the business of communicating these ideas to lay people and get Starmer - the Islamist enabler - out.
Wooh! This woman is fantastic. Britain needs a leader like her. Well balanced, intelligent and a patriot. You have my vote Madam, 100%.
I want to see Kemi Badenoch and Chimamanda Adichie in the same interview
Chim has a terrible political perspective.
@@Madzvez5979That's right

I am SO EXCITED about this interview! I ran into my home tonight, raving about it! I have a computer science background and am a passionate "classical liberal" (what most Americans know as libertarians). I grew up admiring Reagan and Thatcher. It is so encouraging to see such influential leaders emerging in media (Bari) and politics (Kemi); I have renewed faith that Western values will survive. My partner and I love the Honestly podcast, as we are lesbians who have gone off-script with our beliefs and values. Thank you for all that you do to defend these crucial values. We are proud to fight along your side!
Brilliant. She has a good assessment of the issues in UK politics. It would be a great loss for the UK if she isn’t made Prime Minister.
Really impressive, I hope fellow voters in the UK take the time to listen to her properly and give her a chance. I can’t imagine Starmer doing this interview and being so fluent, articulate and to the point.
A politician mentioned 'moral courage'! I'm so happy to hear it.
A delightful conversation with an insightful politician. Well done, Ms Weiss, and well done, Ms Badenoch. Thanks to the HwBW team for bringing us this gem in a time of intellectual emptiness.
This is a lady we all should be paying attention to. She is the future of British politics.
Her future is a 3rd place finish at the next election
Why not the future of Nigeria politics, where she’s from?
@@tecumseh4095Cry harder 😢 Maybe you'll be able to think afterwards...
It is a known fact that Badenoch’s mother gave birth to her in the U.K. for citizenship. People like her aren’t particularly loyal to any one place so the English, Welsh, Scots and N Irish won’t accept her - unless they are part of the globalist elite traitor class.
Badenoch floated from Nigeria to the U.K. to get on. She would have kept going if she couldn’t make it here because she has no particular loyalty to Britain, other than it did her well to stay.
Sunak too was a globalist. His grandparents are from India, family moved to Africa, then to the UK and he has a US visa in his back pocket. These people aren’t loyal to one country. They go where it suits them financially.
Britain needs a person who is loyal through and through as a leader. The Brits won’t vote for her, just like they didn’t vote for Sunak. The Tories are completely out of touch. They would have done better to take Jenrick who spoke of mass deportations. However, they went with identity - again!!
@@tecumseh4095 ??? She's the leader of the conservatives in England...I'm not sure what you mean?
Today she’s praised
In few years she will be very criticized. Typical
The Conservatives completely lost their way in the UK, and hopefully they become closer to what Thatcher was, and what Pierre Polievre is in Canada.
Kemi is a real conservative
@@stefanig4834 If only....
Now, this is a very good Leader for the Conservative and Britain 🇬🇧 in general. Keir Starmer, and the Labour part have their work cut out in the next general elections. Kemi Badenock is head and shoulders ahead of him.❤🎉❤
Intelligent. Brave. Strong. Clear. Educated. Principled.
Doesnt have a chance.
Badenoch is lazy, unstrategized uncompromising, and madly in love with the wealthy white culture and she is an opportunist!
Why not? Most of the time did our leaders have been all of that.

@yipzoe You keep posting the same stupid comment everywhere as if someone couldn't be British if one spends some years abroad.
Criticise her on her politics and not her parents decisions.
Next UK Prime Minister!
in your dreams mate, keep on dreaming you'll wake up soon
Farage will be next PM

@ she schooled in England, speaks English as a first language, is a qualified British engineer and was just elected to be leader of the Conservative Party. She’s English, like it or lump it.
@JJStockman both of her parents are Nigerian and she grew up in Nigeria, she returned to UK at 16 only, she definitely speaks the language of Nigeria as first language
@@yipzoe3865 Nigeria is an English speaking country mate. Please do a tiny bit of research before you say something silly

She is such an intelligent and beautiful woman with common sense approaches on all issues. It will be great to Watch Britain fall in love with this leader over the next few years!
I"d stay in England just to see KB living in Number 10
I doubt if it will happen.
Let us see the British voter 😉
Why don’t you leave if that’s the only reason you’d stay?!

This lady is loaded, tbh she's far ahead of the VP in every aspect, her views are full of intellect, fact and truth.. I wish her well pls
“Far ahead”????
These two are INcomparable.
Nigel and Kemi HAVE to be in the same Party. or Labour will win again.
Bari and Kemi, for me you share a remarkably similar trajectory in my estimation these past 5 years or so.
At first interesting
Then disappointing... but
Thanks to this excellent interview...
I now rate both of you VERY highly
Good luck to you both
Uk guy 🇬🇧
Nigeria has killed more and more potentials than it built
When someone says "...I am not an atheist I am agnostic I used to believe very much but now I describe myself as a cultural Christian" that sounds to me like some who is rebeling against the idea of a "religious God" that has been presented to her over the years. However, God is revealed to us. God became visible in Christ. Kemi, Jesus gives face to the invisible God. Ref: John 14: 7-9.
