RUBIN: All right. Former British Prime Minister Liz Truss. It's nice to see you here in Hungary.
TRUSS: Great to be here.
RUBIN: [...] I've been to the UK a couple of times in the last few years. People are alarmed. I mean, I would say almost more than any other Western European nation -- at least the ones that I've been to. There is a real sense that your country is slipping away. What level do you think this is at this point?
TRUSS: It's at a very severe level. And I believe unless there's change in the next few years, it could become irreversible. We've got a major problem with mass immigration. We've got a major problem with deindustrialization, with stagnation. So people's incomes aren't going up. They're seeing their towns and villages change, their cities change. Things are getting worse.
But we have a very powerful status quo, a very powerful establishment that doesn't want the radical change that our country needs. So it's a very serious situation we're in.
RUBIN: So let's deal with the borders and immigration. ... And here we're in Hungary, a place that closed its borders. And you know they're paying the price from a European Union perspective. ... They pay a million euros a day to the European Union just because they keep their borders closed. It's quite absurd, frankly, from an American perspective.
What do you do? I mean, not only do you have illegals in the country, but you also have a lot of legal people that seemingly don't want to adopt the British values that you're talking about.
TRUSS: There are lots of different problems here, but what has happened is an orthodoxy has taken over British institutions, in the same way as it's taken over European institutions.
And that orthodoxy believes in mass migration, multiculturalism, toleration of Islamism. We've seen appalling coverups of grooming gangs in Britain. You know, girls as young as 12 being systematically raped, and no national inquiry. It's been covered up.
So there is a group of people who have essentially taken over our institutions, with a particular world view, and they don't want to be challenged. Which is why we're seeing free speech being suppressed, because they don't want people to know just how badly wrong it's going.
And I think all of these problems are connected. So mass migration is putting pressure on housing costs, which means that Brits aren't able to start a family. They're not able to buy a home because it's too expensive. That's creating a population crisis, which then creates the demand for more migration.
You've also got a left-wing ideology in terms of things like net-zero, which is making British energy very expensive. So our energy costs in Britain are four times what they are in the United States.
So all of these things are compounded and people feel that things are getting worse, and they can't even say what is wrong. They can't even complain about the grooming gangs, or speak out about what happened in Southport, because they're literally fearful of getting arrested...
If this isn’t stopped, UK’s fall is irreversible ... https://youtu.be/2Bh0a-6Y6p4
