Ayaan Hirsi Ali on the Somali takeover of the West 'This is a disaster'

Author and political thinker Ayaan Hirsi Ali joins Steven Edginton on GB News for a frank discussion about Islamism, immigration, free speech and the crisis of confidence in the West. She discusses the latest Somali fraud scandal in Minnesota, and why Somalian culture is not compatible with the West. From the failures of multiculturalism to the rise of political Islam, Hirsi Ali explains why Western elites avoided hard truths, how fear shut down debate, and what happens when societies stop defending their own values. A conversation about liberty, assimilation, and whether the West still has the courage to protect freedom.
