| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Navarra Live. Coming up tonight, got a sense of deja vu? |
| 0:07.0 | No surprise if so, since Labor is once again weaponizing anti-Semitism against who else? The Left. |
| 0:14.0 | Met Commissioner Mark Rowley seems to be spreading disinformation over the anti-genocide marches in the capital. |
| 0:19.0 | Some people are desperate to say that any criticism of Israel whatsoever is anti-Semitism. |
| 0:25.2 | And Lewis Goodall gives some politicians a pretty hard time of being utterly incoherent. |
| 0:30.7 | I'm Aaron Bistani, and tonight I have the immense pleasure, the joy, the satisfaction of being |
| 0:35.5 | joined by Michael Walker. |
| 0:36.5 | Michael, how are we? |
| 0:39.5 | Very well. I like to kind of pride myself on remaining relatively relaxed as I'm covering the news cycle. But even this weekend, |
| 0:44.9 | I found myself shouting at the screen. Wow. So much nonsense. Even me. As somebody who knows Michael |

| 1:19.3 | political party. Do you agree with the UK's counter-terror chief who said that anti-Semitism |
| 1:23.7 | is the biggest national security emergency? I wasn't asking you about Benjamin Netanyahu's actions. |
| 1:28.0 | I was asking if you agree with that view. He is using his Jewish ancestry as a shield to protect him |
| 1:35.9 | from what he's doing. He himself is inciting hatred. Again, in his interview with you, he repeated |
| 1:42.0 | the canard that the Israelis are committing genocide. |
| 1:45.9 | People like Mr. Polanski and like his deputy, one of his deputies, Mothnali, are playing |
| 1:54.3 | politics with the hatred that the Jewish community is regularly experiencing. Now, unless you've been on a rock all weekend, you'll know that the Jewish community is regularly experiencing. |
