Summary

I'm back in Canada and I've got more video from my trip to Ireland, and I want to tell you some lessons I learned. Obviously, not everything I learned there is applicable to Canada, and Ireland has a very different history and demography, but there are some things I learned when I was over there. I'd like to share them with you.

00:00:00.000 Hello, my friends. I'm back in Canada from my trip to Ireland, and I've got more video to show you.
00:00:05.140 And I want to tell you some lessons I've learned from Ireland. Obviously, not everything there
00:00:09.420 is applicable to Canada. They have a very different history and demography. But there
00:00:15.140 are some things I learned when I was over there. I'd like to share them with you. And I want to
00:00:18.640 show you what I saw. It was a feast for the eyes, as you can imagine. So I really want to encourage
00:00:23.260 you to get the video version of this podcast. Go to rebelnewsplus.com. Click subscribe,
00:00:29.340 eight bucks a month. And not only do you get the Rebel content, the video content every day,
00:00:33.640 you know you're supporting Rebel News. And we need it because we don't get any money from Trudeau.
00:00:38.820 And it shows. All right, here's today's podcast.
00:00:41.420 Tonight, what I learned in Ireland. It's May 8th, and this is the Ezra LeVant Show.
00:01:00.940 Hey, there's no place like home. Sometimes I get to go to pretty cool places to report the news.
00:01:21.660 I was in Dublin, Ireland for exactly 25 hours. So there wasn't any time to do sightseeing. But
00:01:28.360 the sites we did see were political sites. We were looking at the tent encampments of migrants
00:01:34.480 who have no place to go. We covered the big march against immigration. I sometimes travel to places
00:01:41.180 outside Canada to tell the stories of the world. But usually, it's because we can tie those stories
00:01:47.800 back to Canada. You might recall about a year ago, I went to Marseille, France, that was having riots
00:01:54.380 because of Muslim extremists who weren't getting along with the ethnic French. There were lessons
00:01:59.780 to be learned there too. In London, UK, we sometimes visit, especially to cover the trial,
00:02:05.700 the ongoing trials of Tommy Robinson about freedom of speech. What happens in London today is likely to
00:02:12.840 happen here in a few years. Same thing with Marseille. What's interesting about Ireland is that they're
00:02:18.800 ahead of us in terms of fighting back. I've never heard of a mass march in Canada against immigration.
00:02:26.400 They sure had that in Ireland the other day. I learned some interesting things about Ireland,
00:02:32.340 things that maybe I knew but never thought about. For example, the Irish are an indigenous people.
00:02:40.260 What I mean by that is they're the Celts. They're the first people who were there.
00:02:44.460 They didn't colonize anyone. They didn't kick anyone out. And if you want to use the woke terminology,
00:02:53.040 they've been the oppressed. They've been fighting against outsiders for centuries.
00:02:57.940 So how does wokeness work in the argument? Typically, in places like Canada or the United States,
00:03:03.960 oh, you're evil white people, you're on occupied land. In the case of the United States,
00:03:09.100 Black Lives Matter, there's a legacy of slavery, etc. None of that really works.
00:03:14.460 They are the ones who, to use their phrase, 800 years of rebellion. I'm not here to talk about
00:03:22.120 the battle between Britain and Ireland. I'm not here to get involved in those old and ancient
00:03:27.880 disputes of which I know very little. My point by referencing this is to say the woke accusation
00:03:34.700 that if you're a white person, you are inherently racist and inherently guilty of historical crimes
00:03:40.900 that happened before you were even born, Ireland is one of the places that just doesn't work.
00:03:46.640 Ireland didn't pick on anyone. They didn't go on global adventures and enslave people. In fact,
00:03:52.100 as I mentioned the other day, the Irish were taken as slaves, including the amazing and incredible
00:03:59.480 and terrifying story of the village of Baltimore, Ireland, where a Barbary pirates' raiding boat,
00:04:07.940 Muslim slave traders, raided Baltimore, Ireland, kidnapped every single person in the village.
00:04:16.060 They emptied out the town and took them back to Africa to be white slaves. That's the story of Ireland.
00:04:22.780 They were the slaves, not the slaver. And so it was interesting when I saw some counter-protesters,
00:04:29.240 the open borders types, what were they saying? What could they say? Well, here's a clip
00:04:34.600 of my encounter with them as I was walking along with the marchers.
00:04:38.800 Behind me, the counter-protesters, a line of guard eye. That's what they call their police.
00:04:45.060 You can see that they're quite worried about the two sides coming into contact. There's one guard
00:04:52.060 eye officer filming things, I think, for souvenir purposes. I think the numbers on the other side,
00:05:01.660 if I had to estimate, I'd say there's about 110 people. Nah, more like shy of 100. I'd say there's
00:05:11.260 about 90 people. There's more police than counter-protesters. Most of the signs on the other
00:05:23.360 side are prefabricated signs, as opposed to many of the homemade signs on this side. And I'll tell
00:05:32.660 you one other thing I just noticed. On this side, hundreds of Irish flags. On that side,
00:05:41.400 I don't see a single Irish flag. I see three Palestinian flags. And I see a mysterious flag
00:05:53.160 that I cannot identify. But there's not a single Irish flag on the other side. And doesn't that
00:06:00.780 tell you something? I'm going to step about a foot away from these big cops, because I
00:06:08.780 don't need to get caught in the crossfire.
00:06:11.520 N-G-O scum! N-G-O scum! N-G-O scum! N-G-O scum! N-G-O scum! N-G-O scum! N-G-O scum!
00:06:19.780 They're chanting N-G-O scum. That's a very interesting thing to say. The people in this anti-migration
00:06:28.780 march think that their opponents are the United Nations, the World Economic Forum, N-G-O's,
00:06:37.780 as much as any domestic political party. And I think they're right. Thank you very much.
00:06:45.780 Very friendly here. Lots of Rebel News fans, even here in Ireland. I correct myself. I see
00:06:51.780 a single Irish flag on the other side, on which is written Black Lives Matter. As I mentioned
00:06:58.780 before, this side has co-opted the phrase, and says, Irish Lives Matter. I think both
00:07:04.780 lives matter. As I mentioned in my comments, there were no Irish flags on the side of the
00:07:10.780 counter-protesters, except for the one that was marked up, Black Lives Matter. Again, that's
00:07:14.780 such an unusual thing to hear in Ireland. I mean, yes, I believe Black Lives Matter. Sure
00:07:20.780 I do. But what a strange argument to come from a place that never had slavery, that does
00:07:26.780 not have historic guilt, if even anyone should. But they felt guilty about their own colors.
00:07:33.780 They had Palestinian flags. And they had prefabricated signs and flags. They were prefab leftists,
00:07:41.780 which, you know, I think they were just taking instructions. I saw a tweet that someone identified
00:07:47.780 someone in the crowd, an actor from the hit TV series, Game of Thrones. I think the character
00:07:54.780 was the Lord of the Onions or something. If you were an actor in the Game of Thrones, I'm
00:07:59.780 going to go out on a limb, given the success of that franchise, and say, you're probably a
00:08:04.780 millionaire. It wasn't a small role. So will a millionaire Irish fancy pants, I mean, if
00:08:11.780 you're a global success actor, you got a few bucks, will he open his mansion to these migrants?
00:08:19.780 Or does he like to have an alarm system, a security system, and a high wall around the
00:08:25.780 things that he protects? What was interesting to me was seeing the responses and the reaction
00:08:30.780 from the establishment, including from the left wing political party called Sinn Féin,
00:08:35.780 which in the past was associated with the Irish Republican Army. So they're hardcore leftists.
00:08:41.780 And it was interesting to see how they described this mass populist movement.
00:08:47.780 They said it was foreign meddlers who were stirring things up. I didn't see any foreigners.
00:08:54.780 I mean, I guess I was a foreigner, but I was there as a reporter. I heard one person with an
00:08:59.780 American accent give a speech, but she had moved to Ireland. I didn't see any foreigners.
00:09:04.780 In fact, it felt extremely Irish to me, certainly lots of Irish flags.
00:09:09.780 The Sinn Féin also blamed Zionists. And again, not that I can detect a Jew on sight.
00:09:18.780 I mean, unless they're wearing conspicuous Jewish garb. I didn't see any Jews in the entire crowd.
00:09:25.780 There's not a lot of Jews in Ireland. Sinn Féin was denouncing the marchers as foreigners,
00:09:32.780 as Zionists or Jews. And I thought this was amazing as British intelligence agents.
00:09:39.780 And I, again, I don't want to wade into territory I know little about, but of course,
00:09:44.780 the British and the Troubles and Northern Ireland. And I mean, obviously, Ireland and the UK have had a quarrel
00:09:51.780 going back centuries. I'm not here to take sides in that. I just don't know enough about it.
00:09:55.780 But it's quite something that that's the go-to insult.
00:09:58.780 Oh, if you're against mass immigration, you must be a pawn of British intelligence.
00:10:05.780 I mean, I guess Justin Trudeau reaches for, you're a transphobe. You're a racist.
00:10:10.780 I guess in Ireland they say, you're in league with the British spies or something.
00:10:17.780 It was sort of an ironic challenge, given that the open borders types, they're the ones in league with the globalists,
00:10:26.780 which with the World Economic Forum types who want open borders and want Ireland to be the next sacrifice zone.
00:10:32.780 I liked the fact that those protesters were chanting against NGOs, non-governmental organizations,
00:10:39.780 like the UN and the World Economic Forum. That's sort of a sophisticated thing to say.
00:10:43.780 And if I had to pick which side is taking orders from outside the country,
00:10:48.780 I'm sorry, the folks who aren't flying the Irish flag, the folks who are talking about the global,
00:10:53.780 you know, Palestinian movement, and the folks who are in league with the NGOs,
00:10:57.780 I'm going to say those are the ones who aren't representing true Irish.
00:11:02.780 You know, I think that I learned a lot in Ireland, even though I was only there for 25 hours.
00:11:07.780 I met a lot of friends, and I have things I'm sure I'll think about for many months.
00:11:12.780 In fact, I'm sure that there's things I witnessed in my whistle-stop tour to Ireland
00:11:16.780 that I won't even know taught me something until something comes up in Canada.
00:11:20.780 And I'd say, oh, I remember when I was in Dublin and I saw this.
00:11:23.780 So I feel it's useful to see how the immigration battle is going over there.
00:11:28.780 And I was so glad that I was able to get there and back, and my videographer, Efron, came with me.
00:11:33.780 Do you remember when Efron and I went to Marseille, France?
00:11:36.780 I mean, let me show you an interview that we stumbled upon that I thought about a dozen times.
00:11:42.780 He was a man who, to me, on the outside, looked very modern and very assimilated.
00:11:48.780 He looked very Western in his attire, very sharp.
00:11:52.780 He wasn't dressed fancy, but he was dressed clean and modern and hip, and he had a ball cap.
00:11:58.780 Here, listen to what he said in that interview, which in some ways is a premonition
00:12:03.780 of what we're seeing in our streets this year. Take a look at this guy.
00:12:07.780 In your heart, are you in Algeria or in the first French?
00:12:14.780 Live in Algeria, until death.
00:12:16.780 Take a look at it. Take a look at it. Take a look at it. Take a look at it.
00:12:20.780 But, gentlemen, if you want to say that I am a French number one, are you racist?
00:12:34.780 We're not racist. I said and I repeat it. The world belongs to everyone.
00:12:40.780 Every human being can live where he wants. There's no problem with that.
00:12:46.780 We live where we want. The earth belongs to the good God, and we belong to the good God.
00:12:51.780 We live where we want. There's no limit. It's good.
00:12:54.780 Take a look at it.
00:12:55.780 I was only there for 25 hours, so I don't want to come across as a know-it-all.
00:12:59.780 There was no time for sightseeing. I'd like to go back one day.
00:13:02.780 I mean, it's just when you go to an ancient place with castles that are ruins of hundreds of years ago, you realize how new Canada is.
00:13:12.780 And in some ways, how lucky we are that we're not trapped by old quarrels that have gone on for, as the Irish say, 800 years.
00:13:21.780 We really have a wonderful opportunity in our country to make a fresh start, and we did, I think.
00:13:27.780 I think Canada has always been harmonious, at least since the Battle of the Plains of Abraham when the French and the English came to a working rapport.
00:13:37.780 And you can have your quarrels with Quebec. Lord knows I do when it comes to politics.
00:13:41.780 But the country's worked out pretty well.
00:13:44.780 As it was said a century ago, we're a fireproof house far away from inflammable materials.
00:13:50.780 Canada has had no war on our territory since, I guess, the War of 1812 when we went down to sack the White House.
00:13:57.780 But I'm afraid that troubles have been imported here en masse, and I'm worried about that.
00:14:02.780 One thing that was very interesting was how friendly everyone there was to Rebel News, which was a real surprise to me.
00:14:11.780 I don't think I've done 10 videos in my life on Ireland.
00:14:14.780 I did one on their constitution and motherhood being in there, which was wonderful.
00:14:19.780 I did one on their new hate speech law.
00:14:22.780 And we've interviewed some of their journalists, Ben Scallon and Fatima Gunning from Gript.
00:14:27.780 But I really think when I say I've done 10 videos on them, that really is it.
00:14:32.780 And maybe that sounds like a lot, but we've done 50,000 videos here at Rebel News over the years.
00:14:38.780 So for us to be recognized, I'm not exaggerating when I say 30 people probably came up to us.
00:14:45.780 And not just in the march when you might think, OK, they're politically turned on.
00:14:49.780 But when we went out to the encampment of the migrants in a totally different neighborhood, one guy just walking his dog, another walking by, recognized us.
00:14:58.780 And we were later near a bus stop, and someone walked by.
00:15:01.780 He was a soldier.
00:15:02.780 And he recognized us and shook our hands.
00:15:05.780 It was amazing and surprising because, to be candid, we've never really put any effort into Ireland.
00:15:11.780 I don't think it's that we were so amazing.
00:15:14.780 Ireland is so craving of another point of view.
00:15:19.780 Now, they have that website called Gript, G-R-I-P-T dot IE.
00:15:24.780 That's Fatima Gunning and Ben Scallon.
00:15:26.780 We've interviewed them before, and they're great.
00:15:29.780 The fact that they crave more content that is sympathetic and interesting and contrarian tells me it's a deep need.
00:15:35.780 I have to say, and I've conferred with my colleague Efron, who really covered the truckers very deeply.
00:15:41.780 Efron and I both got that trucker feeling that these are often working class people, although people from all walks of life were there.
00:15:48.780 That they were full of passion and love for their country, and they were sick of being ignored and sick of being abused by the entire establishment.
00:15:56.780 The same way we despise the CBC state broadcaster here.
00:16:00.780 Oh boy, they felt the exact same way about the RTE state broadcaster over there.
00:16:07.780 There were very many similarities, including the fact that at least for now, no big establishment parties will give these people any time.
00:16:15.780 I haven't seen the polling in Ireland, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's probably the same as it is here in Canada.
00:16:22.780 People are fed up with overwhelming immigration numbers that just can't be absorbed.
00:16:27.780 And so you have the will of the people that is being ignored by the entire establishment.
00:16:33.780 That's sort of what the truckers were about too.
00:16:35.780 So I'm going to play a little bit more for you from the trip to Ireland.
00:16:38.780 And if you're not that interested, don't worry.
00:16:40.780 We got it out of our system for now and we'll get back to covering shocking news in Canada.
00:16:45.780 David Menzies going to the University of Toronto to see the anti-Semitism there.
00:16:49.780 There's always news.
00:16:50.780 We have reporters, as you know, in Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa.
00:16:54.780 We cover the news wherever it is in Canada.
00:16:56.780 But what we saw in Ireland, I think, is what it might look like if Canadians finally have the courage to march against unbridled immigration.
00:17:07.780 That's just too much for the country to absorb.
00:17:09.780 Very interesting stuff.
00:17:12.780 Let me leave you with some more clips.
00:17:15.780 And until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters to you at home, good night.
00:17:20.780 And keep fighting for freedom.
00:17:26.780 I'm standing in front of a protest that has been here for weeks.
00:17:34.780 It is an encampment.
00:17:36.780 There are men who rotate through here.
00:17:39.780 There are flags.
00:17:40.780 There are signs.
00:17:42.780 Who are these men and what are they protesting?
00:17:45.780 They're Irishmen from the neighborhood of Kulak who are protesting an empty warehouse that used to be owned by a paint company.
00:17:55.780 It's a massive warehouse in which is planned a migrant residence.
00:18:02.780 What they plan to do, the government, is turn this warehouse, which used to store paint, into a home for 500 to 1,000 migrants, including some single men.
00:18:16.780 They seek to put modular homes into this building.
00:18:21.780 And these people in the local community are saying they can't bear that.
00:18:25.780 Some of them say to have this many single men in this neighborhood with nothing to do is a risk.
00:18:31.780 Especially given that right across the street is the bowling alley, the Burger King, the place where all the kids mill around.
00:18:40.780 Putting hundreds of military aged foreign men unemployed right across the street could upset the neighborhood.
00:18:48.780 Could cause issues ranging from safety to access to services.
00:18:54.780 This is not a wealthy part of Dublin.
00:18:57.780 One of the complaints is who will service these newcomers.
00:19:02.780 I think the number one complaint, though, talking to some of the men who have staffed the protest around the clock, is that nobody asked them.
00:19:13.780 This was being foisted on the community.
00:19:17.780 A lot of people are happy to see us here.
00:19:20.780 In fact, we just met one man who recognized us from Rebel News and thanked us for our work.
00:19:26.780 He was very articulate, very passionate, and, to use a phrase, severely normal.
00:19:32.780 I asked him if he would say anything on camera.
00:19:34.780 He said he couldn't because he's part of the army.
00:19:37.780 He's part of the Irish army.
00:19:38.780 And for him to express himself could get in trouble.
00:19:41.780 We've met a lot of people who are familiar with our work, and it's a delight to hear that.
00:19:46.780 It tells us that the themes we talk about on Rebel News apply to other countries as well.
00:19:52.780 One of the things that these men remind me of are the movement, the freedom movement in Canada.
00:19:59.780 They're grassroots people, working class people, who feel completely shut out by the political elites.
00:20:05.780 You can hear the horn honking in support as they drove by.
00:20:09.780 It reminds me of the truckers.
00:20:12.780 It reminds me of the anti-carbon tax protest that I saw by the side of the hideaway west of Calgary.
00:20:19.780 This same spirit of ordinary people fighting back, not just against their national government, but against some sort of globalist agenda.
00:20:29.780 Now, when you use the word globalist agenda, people in the establishment roll their eyes.
00:20:34.780 But it's real, because it's certainly not a national agenda.
00:20:38.780 Nobody in Kulak has voted to put 500 to 1,000 people in their neighborhood without asking.
00:20:46.780 Nobody here was asked, let alone proposed it.
00:20:49.780 They didn't have a debate in the Irish Parliament.
00:20:52.780 Where did the idea come from?
00:20:54.780 You could ask the same in Canada.
00:20:56.780 We went from a quarter million migrants a year to 2 million, to 2.2 million, 900,000 foreign students, 600,000 foreign workers alone.
00:21:08.780 Nobody asked Canadians.
00:21:09.780 There was no election on the subject.
00:21:11.780 There was no referendum on the subject.
00:21:13.780 So where did the idea come from?
00:21:15.780 The answer is, it's a supranational elite.
00:21:18.780 They get together at places like the United Nations and the World Economic Forum in Davos.
00:21:24.780 They don't consult with working class blokes.
00:21:27.780 This is an incredible protest.
00:21:30.780 It's low key now.
00:21:33.780 But a few weeks ago, 2,000 local Irishmen peacefully protested on this major walk.
00:21:41.780 They even came on horseback.
00:21:44.780 2,000 of them.
00:21:46.780 I heard one gentleman.
00:21:47.780 We were just starting to film and someone was nearby.
00:21:51.780 And I asked him if he wanted to come on camera.
00:21:53.780 And he said he didn't.
00:21:54.780 But he used a phrase with me.
00:21:56.780 He said, Ireland is full.
00:22:00.780 And that's the Irish view.
00:22:02.780 It's a small country.
00:22:04.780 It's an island.
00:22:05.780 It has 5 million people.
00:22:07.780 And in the last two years, it has taken an enormous number of migrants, including more
00:22:12.780 than 100,000 from Ukraine alone.
00:22:15.780 And remember that they're one eighth of the side of Canada.
00:22:17.780 So that would be like a million people from Ukraine in Canada.
00:22:23.780 It'll be interesting to see what happens.
00:22:26.780 These folks are around the clock.
00:22:28.780 We'll be going downtown for what's expected to be a very large march today.
00:22:34.780 Last comment.
00:22:37.780 These men warned us that the Antifa side, the Marxist side, and I think I heard them say
00:22:44.780 the Gaza protesters, they're planning to come out with a counter protest.
00:22:49.780 So you're going to have all these grassroots Irishmen saying Ireland is full.
00:22:54.780 No to the migrants.
00:22:55.780 No to, you know, I mean, look at this.
00:22:57.780 Illegal male immigrants housed before 11,500 homeless people.
00:23:02.780 Well, in some cases, as we saw earlier today, they're not even housed.
00:23:05.780 They're in tents along the canal.
00:23:08.780 Ireland is in an immigration crisis.
00:23:10.780 The fact that these people have an around-the-clock vigil tells me that there's a passion.
00:23:15.780 The fact that I hear horns honking in the background tells me it is an opinion shared by people.
00:23:22.780 The fact that people tell me their thoughts but ask not to be on camera tells me that there's a danger to speaking up
00:23:30.780 because you'll be marginalized or cancelled by polite society.
00:23:36.780 I suppose the massive march today is a way to change that and show the world that ordinary Irish people,
00:23:45.780 not the far right, have deep concerns about what's going on.
00:23:49.780 I'll have more later today for all of my reports.
00:23:52.780 Go to MigrantReports.com.
00:23:55.780 And if you think this is important citizen journalism,
00:23:58.780 feel free to chip in a few dollars, pounds or euros
00:24:01.780 to cover our economy class, airfare and hotel to come out here.
00:24:19.780 Send them home! Send them home! Send them home! Send them home! Send them home!
00:24:30.780 Well, a very interesting day.
00:24:31.780 A lot of speeches including by political candidates on various levels of government.
00:24:35.780 Here's one gentleman who wanted to say a word.
00:24:38.780 Two years ago, I wasn't decided to ruin the election.
00:24:42.780 But I am on the first week.
00:24:45.780 Right? And that's what it's for.
00:24:47.780 Because it's gone to the cost with the people in the door
00:24:50.780 that want to need rescue for the Americans and give it to a partner for free.
00:24:58.780 Tell me your name.
00:24:59.780 Gavin Pepper.
00:25:00.780 And Gavin, what are you running for?
00:25:02.780 Independent.
00:25:03.780 And which level, which office are you running for?
00:25:05.780 Locals, Fingless and Ballymoon.
00:25:07.780 That's a neighbourhood in Dublin, is it?
00:25:09.780 It is a working class neighbour.
00:25:11.780 And we just spoke with one lady who said that
00:25:14.780 in the working class neighbourhood she's in,
00:25:16.780 a very large number of the voters are foreign nationals.
00:25:21.780 And she didn't think that she would have good luck there
00:25:23.780 running on an anti-immigration campaign platform.
00:25:27.780 What's your district like?
00:25:29.780 Well, and I don't know about the whole one,
00:25:31.780 but it might want to be more Irish people in the community.
00:25:33.780 But there is people from different nationalities living there.
00:25:36.780 People in Ireland, Ezreal, have had enough of this.
00:25:39.780 It's a joke.
00:25:40.780 Illegal immigration is affecting every country,
00:25:42.780 but it's affecting Ireland really, really badly.
00:25:45.780 Look, we've had 200,000 hospital appointments cancelled last year, right?
00:25:49.780 Including 650 chemotherapy sessions for kids.
00:25:52.780 You know, people are being left behind.
00:25:54.780 People are being means-tested for medical cards and carers' payments,
00:25:58.780 and the government just keep hitting down on them, hitting down.
00:26:01.780 Look, Irish people are emigrating.
00:26:03.780 Nurses and doctors are emigrating
00:26:04.780 because they can't afford rent in here.
00:26:06.780 You're down here, the IFFC is just down the road,
00:26:08.780 and you're looking at 4,000 euro a month, right?
00:26:11.780 To rent an apartment.
00:26:12.780 That's crazy.
00:26:13.780 Insanity.
00:26:14.780 On basic ways.
00:26:15.780 So people that walk and say Starbucks or McDonald's and all,
00:26:17.780 they can't afford to live or rent in here.
00:26:19.780 But what's happening is we're bringing in thousands upon thousands
00:26:23.780 of illegal immigrants, right?
00:26:24.780 Let me stop you there because you said that twice.
00:26:26.780 If you're bringing them in, are they illegal?
00:26:29.780 Like, how are they physically getting to Ireland?
00:26:32.780 Are they not being invited here?
00:26:34.780 I spoke to a couple of migrants down at the camp today
00:26:38.780 who, the way they described it, and they didn't talk to me a lot,
00:26:42.780 but they made it seem like they were responding to an invitation
00:26:46.780 of the Irish government.
00:26:47.780 So when you say illegal, what do you mean?
00:26:49.780 Because these guys say that they were invited.
00:26:51.780 No, no.
00:26:52.780 Well, when I say illegal, I mean they're being sent here.
00:26:54.780 So some of them are coming on Dover.
00:26:57.780 They're going on the boat, across over.
00:26:59.780 That's Dover in the United Kingdom,
00:27:01.780 and then they cross over the border.
00:27:03.780 Is that what you're saying?
00:27:04.780 So they go to Northern Ireland, which is part of the UK,
00:27:07.780 and then they cross to Ireland proper?
00:27:09.780 Yeah, and then they come down to the I-Pass building
00:27:11.780 and claim asylum.
00:27:12.780 And then now...
00:27:13.780 So instead of claiming asylum in the UK,
00:27:15.780 they come all the way through to Ireland?
00:27:16.780 Yeah, that's what they're doing.
00:27:17.780 And then also, they're arriving on the plane into Dublin,
00:27:20.780 and then they're ripping up the documentations
00:27:22.780 and then claiming asylum at the border.
00:27:24.780 And what countries are they coming from to do that?
00:27:27.780 Look, they're coming from Somalia, Nigeria, Georgia, Afghanistan.
00:27:31.780 They're coming from them sort of countries.
00:27:33.780 Lots from Brazil as well.
00:27:35.780 A lot of the things they're doing as well, Ezra,
00:27:37.780 is some of them are coming on what's called a student thing
00:27:39.780 that they're studying language.
00:27:41.780 Yeah, we have the same thing in Canada.
00:27:42.780 It's a Mickey Mouse thing, you know.
00:27:43.780 It's just a gay.
00:27:44.780 And then they start walking and say the Liverpool drivers
00:27:47.780 and they're illegal in the economy, you know.
00:27:50.780 But at the end of the day,
00:27:51.780 the ones that are arriving now in the thousands,
00:27:53.780 they're coming across the border from Northern Ireland.
00:27:56.780 Some are landing on the plane.
00:27:57.780 They're going straight to the I-Pass building.
00:27:59.780 The figures are up every single week.
00:28:01.780 And now, like, the singles, there's no room for them.
00:28:03.780 So they're in tents.
00:28:04.780 They're being put out in tents
00:28:05.780 because most of them are in hotels getting free accommodation,
00:28:08.780 breakfast, lunch, dinner, a weekly payment, right?
00:28:10.780 And they're working.
00:28:12.780 Some of them are getting jobs.
00:28:13.780 So how is somebody that's a normal family
00:28:16.780 meant to compete against that?
00:28:18.780 You know, we have our own.
00:28:19.780 We have 14,000 Irish families homeless.
00:28:21.780 We have 4,000 kids in emergency accommodation.
00:28:23.780 Like, they come first.
00:28:25.780 Like, they come first.
00:28:26.780 And that's the way it is.
00:28:27.780 We need to look after our own people.
00:28:29.780 Well, let me ask you one last question.
00:28:30.780 Now, you say you're running for local office, and I wish you luck.
00:28:33.780 But it seems to me that the larger parties on the national level...
00:28:37.780 Now, you correct me if I'm wrong, because I'm certainly not an expert.
00:28:40.780 But it sounds like all of them support open borders immigration.
00:28:43.780 Whether it's Sinn Féin or...
00:28:45.780 I don't even...
00:28:46.780 I can't even pronounce some of the party names.
00:28:48.780 But am I right to say that they all support open borders?
00:28:52.780 Well, every single one of them.
00:28:53.780 Sinn Féin are someone I voted for all my life.
00:28:56.780 They're traitors.
00:28:57.780 They were meant to...
00:28:58.780 They play on the walking class vote.
00:29:00.780 But after the election, if they were to get voted in, they'd go into power with Fianna Fáil.
00:29:04.780 Another party member.
00:29:05.780 If they don't get enough votes, they would go into coalition with them.
00:29:08.780 So that's what they are as popular as parties.
00:29:10.780 But they're all agreeing with the EU on this.
00:29:12.780 So this is an EU thing that playing ball.
00:29:14.780 Piers started the Sinn Féin only the other day flew over to the UK in London.
00:29:19.780 And he was agreeing with all the vulture funds.
00:29:21.780 These vulture funds are causing big problems here.
00:29:23.780 And he was saying, if we get in, we'll tame the so-called far right.
00:29:27.780 So what they call the far right in Ireland nowadays is concerned parents worried about the communities and services.
00:29:32.780 So we don't listen to it anymore.
00:29:34.780 You've got them all.
00:29:35.780 You're Fianna Fáil, Fianna Gael, Sinn Féin, the social democrats, people before profit.
00:29:39.780 They all agree on the same topic.
00:29:42.780 They're open borders.
00:29:44.780 Flood the country.
00:29:45.780 We have no room.
00:29:46.780 We just don't have room.
00:29:47.780 Well, you need an Irish Trump.
00:29:48.780 Does he have some Irish blood in them?
00:29:50.780 Better believe it.
00:29:51.780 Yeah.
00:29:52.780 Look, I'm the same as him.
00:29:54.780 You know what I mean?
00:29:55.780 Depart them.
00:29:56.780 I've no empathy.
00:29:57.780 Look after our own people.
00:29:58.780 I don't care how people feel about it.
00:29:59.780 I want to depart every one of them.
00:30:00.780 At the end of the day, our people come first.
00:30:02.780 My people come first.
00:30:04.780 The kids over here should be first in school.
00:30:07.780 The people on the hospital list, elderly people, you know, euthanasia only mentioned on that.
00:30:11.780 These parties support abortion, right?
00:30:13.780 And I'm pro-life and I'm not ashamed to say it, right?
00:30:16.780 They support euthanasia, right?
00:30:18.780 And all these topics, any time anything comes up, the mainstream media drowns you out,
00:30:23.780 doesn't want you to have a say, and they just agree with what the government is.
00:30:26.780 So there's no democracy in Ireland.
00:30:27.780 In fact, democracy is so bad in Ireland, right, that there's a station called Russia Today.
00:30:33.780 They've banned that station on TV because they said, oh, it's one-way biased.
00:30:37.780 Like, that's them being one-way biased.
00:30:40.780 Democracy is, like, Rebel News should be a mainstream TV.
00:30:44.780 Like, you should be able to.
00:30:45.780 There's been a lot of friendly folks welcoming us here.
00:30:47.780 It's been quite a pleasant surprise.
00:30:49.780 Well, that's because we all watch us.
00:30:51.780 So that's the reality of it.
00:30:53.780 Everyone's a good-looking bloke.
00:30:55.780 No, but what it is, is you're going across the globe, right?
00:30:59.780 And you're trying to get the message out.
00:31:00.780 And this WHO nonsense are just, you see the Build Up Oga group, everybody knows what's going on.
00:31:07.780 It's their way or the highway.
00:31:09.780 And we're not putting up with it.
00:31:10.780 We're saying, no, hang on a minute.
00:31:11.780 I'm not going to destroy my country.
00:31:13.780 Not all hope.
00:31:14.780 I have six children, Ezra.
00:31:16.780 Right?
00:31:17.780 I have six kids.
00:31:18.780 Two years ago, I wouldn't have ran in the election.
00:31:19.780 I just got away.
00:31:20.780 All we want to do is be left alone.
00:31:21.780 Go to work.
00:31:22.780 Bring our kids to the football games.
00:31:24.780 But now you can't.
00:31:25.780 I've done an interview with a woman whose child tried to snatch out of a garden the other day.
00:31:29.780 That was me, that interview.
00:31:30.780 Oh, wow.
00:31:31.780 Listen, my friend, it's been a pleasure talking with you.
00:31:33.780 Tell me your name one more time.
00:31:34.780 Gavin Pepper, Ezra.
00:31:35.780 And it's lovely to have you over here.
00:31:36.780 And it's great to see that you are actually going to get a message out.
00:31:38.780 All the best to you.
00:31:39.780 Good luck in your election.
00:31:40.780 God bless.
00:31:41.780 Thank you.
00:31:55.780 God bless.
00:31:56.780 God bless.
