Hello, my friends. We have another show for you from Ireland. We found two experts in what's going
00:00:06.220
on in the migration crisis. One, a citizen journalist, another, an elected politician
00:00:10.880
who's not afraid to challenge the mass migration to this little country. We'll talk to them about
00:00:16.960
what's going on. I'd love it if you could see what we're talking about. To do so, you need to

00:00:53.260
in Ireland, a politician and a journalist. It's July 17th, and this is the Ezra LeVant Show.
00:01:14.200
I am still in Ireland. I'm trying to learn as much as I can in as brief a period as possible.
00:01:19.740
That's always a dangerous thing. But in Ireland, things are so stark, I think we're picking up some
00:01:25.280
dramatic points. Ireland has a mass immigration ideology that is in some ways even worse than
00:01:32.460
Canada's. For one thing, they are deploying the police with batons and pepper spray against
00:01:38.920
protesters who speak out. It's an astonishing thing. Just like we have our Roxham Road border,
00:01:46.460
where migrants walk across from the United States into Canada, the UK borders Ireland. Remember,
00:01:53.500
there's Northern Ireland, which is part of the UK. So fake, bogus refugees make their way to France,
00:02:00.440
and then they take a dinghy across the water to the UK. And then once in the UK, they make their way
00:02:05.500
to Northern Ireland, and then they waltz across into Ireland, where they put up, when I say four-star
00:02:12.480
hotels. I mean, four-star hotels. We'll have a show later for you this week showing that. And it's
00:02:18.520
bogus refugees, along with some genuine refugees, I'm sure. You might recall from my last visit here
00:02:24.740
that Ireland took 100,000 Ukrainian refugees. Remember, Ireland only has 5 million citizens.
00:02:32.960
Proportionately, that would be like Canada taking nearly 1 million. So the Ukrainians filled up
00:02:39.220
Ireland. Now, by the way, a lot of Irish people I've spoken to say the Ukrainians have been very good.
00:02:45.060
They're peaceful. They're trying to integrate. I'm just reporting what they said to me. Very
00:02:50.660
different from the bogus refugees that make their way from Asia, Africa, Arabia, under false pretenses,
00:02:58.860
sneak across the border, and then say, I'm here for asylum. Later in this week, you'll see me coming
00:03:04.180
face-to-face with some of those military-aged single men. You'll see what the Irish have to put
00:03:10.340
up with. Anyways, yesterday we showed you about a poor neighborhood in Dublin called Kulak, where the
00:03:16.400
government has announced they're going to have a refugee center for 500 or more single men. That's
00:03:22.880
another difference between Ireland and Canada. In Ireland, they just, poof, announce there's going to
00:03:28.700
be a refugee camp, and it's announced at the federal level, the national level, and there's
00:03:34.920
nothing anyone can do about it. There's no town halls, no planning, no impact assessments. It's just
00:03:41.320
announced, and if you oppose it, you're deemed far right. So in today's show, we're going to have two
00:03:46.100
interviews. The first with a citizen journalist who is trying to cover this story, and he was there in
00:03:53.920
Kulak a couple days ago. The police arrested him. He wasn't throwing bottles or bricks. He was simply
00:04:00.460
documenting what the police were doing, so they took him out. Sounds familiar? That's what happened
00:04:05.240
to our friend Abhi Yamini a few years ago, if you remember. And then we'll talk to one of the rare
00:04:09.860
politicians willing to stand with the people. Now, he's a local counselor, but still, that's more than
00:04:15.500
almost any other elected official in Ireland. So today, we'll have two members of the, I'm not going to
00:04:23.200
say the establishment. One's a citizen journalist like me, and the other is an independent city
00:04:28.180
counselor, but they're people who I would call experts in what's going on. Enjoy this fascinating
00:04:33.580
and sometimes terrifying discussion of Ireland in 2024.
00:04:37.260
Standing with me is Philip Dwyer, a citizen journalist who was arrested last night in Kulak,
00:04:56.320
spent a little bit of time in the clink before he was let out. He's now under order not to re-attend
00:05:03.480
the place in Kulak, so we thought we would go somewhere a little bit fancier. There's some
00:05:08.980
beautiful parts in Ireland, and I think your purpose for taking us here to the Malahad Marina
00:05:13.960
was to make a point that they're not putting 500-person migrant camps in the luxury,
00:05:22.460
high-income places of Ireland. They're putting it in the low-income, low-political clout areas
00:05:28.640
like Kulak. Is that right? That's right, Ezra, and thank you for letting me use your platform here
00:05:33.320
to get the message out of what's going on in Ireland. And yeah, absolutely is the point that
00:05:38.940
this is a very affluent part of North County Dublin, right on the coastline here. You have
00:05:44.920
apartment blocks surrounded here, very high-end expensive apartments. The whole area has boutique
00:05:50.520
shops, it has excellent restaurants, and it closed the community that would be very conscious
00:05:55.940
of not allowing their community to be invaded by what's happening in places like Kulak
00:06:01.400
and many other parts of Ireland and Dublin, but it always tends to be the working-class areas.
00:06:08.940
And it's been, you know, it's really gone out of control now, Ezra, and as people can see
00:06:14.560
around the world, we think it's really important to get the message out around the world that
00:06:18.420
Ireland is really being devastated now by this influx of mainly military-aged men at this stage.
00:06:25.940
No matter what the people seem to say or the community seem to say, the government
00:06:30.600
just, they seem to laugh in your faces. Now we saw yesterday with the public order units
00:06:36.600
going in heavy-handed. You had a couple of children, as I could see, 10 to 15. I was
00:06:43.520
live-streaming it yesterday. I had 17,000 people in my live-stream. All could see for
00:06:48.820
themselves. It was a couple of kids, maybe 10 to 15 kids throwing stones stupidly. My channel,
00:06:54.240
I never endorsed any kind of criminal behaviour. But they seemed to, the Garda Riot squad came
00:07:02.580
in and they seemed to take it out on the peaceful protesters that were there.
00:07:06.180
So you're saying there was, let's say, a dozen teenagers. They were generally young, you're
00:07:12.900
saying, the ones who were throwing rocks. But the Garda used the pepper spray on the non-violent
00:07:20.680
Absolutely. And it was like a random thing. Even the guys I met in the prison cells yesterday
00:07:26.260
while we were waiting to be heard by a judge, a lot of them said they were just standing
00:07:30.800
there peacefully and they were randomly assaulted and attacked by Garda. I saw serious wounds
00:07:36.280
and one young lad, an 18-year-old young lad, had his shin open up, two wounds on his shin,
00:07:41.760
which is a really nasty place to get a deep cut. Other guys had head wounds and body marks
00:07:48.460
from battens on their bodies. And they were definitely randomly picked. I'm sure maybe
00:07:54.600
one or two might have been doing something silly. I'm not sure. But out of the 15, a lot
00:07:58.960
of these guys were kind of fathers and grown-ups. They weren't there to be damaging property
00:08:05.260
or wrecking the place or doing anything illegal, you know?
00:08:08.420
I saw, I mean, when we landed in Dublin, we saw all the front pages, but there was one
00:08:12.920
that was very gripping. You had moms and dads and people of different ages standing peacefully.
00:08:19.060
And then there was one guy wearing a balaclava, throwing a brick. And I got to tell you, someone
00:08:25.420
who wears a balaclava, throwing a brick, that is a little bit terrifying. But the interesting
00:08:30.440
thing about that photo is everyone else around him was showing their face. No one was throwing
00:08:36.180
a brick. What would you say the numbers were? You said it might be a dozen or more. I think
00:08:42.500
15 people were arrested. How many people were peacefully protesting who were not arrested?
00:08:48.520
Well, on my side of the property that's being used for this invasion, let's call it, there
00:08:54.760
was a group of people. I'd say maybe two to three hundred people who were just standing around
00:09:00.700
peacefully, wanted the protests, what was going on. Then you had on the other side where that was
00:09:05.480
sealed off. You couldn't get from one side to the other. Both sides of the road were sealed off by the
00:09:10.520
police. I didn't see how many were there, but I'm sure there was, I think there was hundreds there as
00:09:14.780
well. But it was definitely when I arrived, and you can see it on my live stream, it's I'm on X.
00:09:19.220
You can see it there that these were young children, you know, some of them 12, 13 years
00:09:24.660
of age that were throwing stones, stupidly throwing stones. But it was like, I felt the
00:09:29.940
tension. I said it during my live stream, I could feel the tension. I've been there before. I've seen
00:09:34.160
in a new market, Newtown Mount Kennedy, I've seen it during the Dublin riots. And you could feel that
00:09:39.140
something bad was going to happen. And then all of a sudden, police vans came around and they came
00:09:43.440
out kind of behind us. So in other words, we were kind of nearly trapped. You didn't know where to
00:09:49.060
go. And when I got arrested by, and by the way, this individual, he's a police inspector. He's the
00:09:55.260
same guy that beat me very badly, officially assaulted me the night of Dublin riots. I was
00:09:59.720
hospitalized with bad leg injuries. And the same inspector arrested me yesterday because I was
00:10:06.080
Well, now, what were you charged with? I was going to ask, obviously, you were not throwing a rock,
00:10:12.560
No, I was trying to cover the news. I mean, this is...
00:10:14.680
So tell me what... I mean, I didn't see your live stream yet. I'm going to look it up,
00:10:18.300
obviously, as soon as we're done here. But, like, how were you dressed? What were you holding?
00:10:24.080
Did you engage with police? Why would they arrest you?
00:10:28.200
Because what I do on my channel is I criticize government policy. I expose...
00:10:32.660
Were you touching any cops? Were you pushing any cops?
00:10:34.980
No, no. I asked this... It turns out it was the inspector. He came out of a McDonald's where
00:10:40.260
they were after. I'd been chasing out some young kids. And I asked him, could he tell us
00:10:44.460
what's going on? And with that, he started to warn me about my name and address. He wanted
00:10:50.820
my name and address. He said he wanted me to leave the area. And I didn't...
00:10:56.700
Public order. It's a public order charge, they're calling it. So I have two charges. He arrested
00:11:02.100
me there. I was trying to walk away. He wouldn't even allow me to walk away.
00:11:05.780
So all you did was film. He knew you from an earlier incident. He told... He told you
00:11:12.100
to get out. And then he arrested you. Is that what happened?
00:11:15.580
Were there others amongst the 15 people who were arrested who were in a similar boat as
00:11:20.600
Anyone... Anyone of them that I've met were actually badly beaten up.
00:11:29.700
And you have a... You were telling me in the car over you have a lawyer. What in the end
00:11:33.640
were you charged with? You were charged with obstruction?
00:11:39.080
Failing to leave the air. Public order. Failing to leave the area after being instructed.
00:11:49.680
Yeah. And he... They had my name on the sheet when I went into the police station.
00:11:54.740
But this man definitely knows. He is also apparently, allegedly, a diversity officer within
00:12:00.120
his station, which is in inner city Dublin, which we now have. And in the Irish police force
00:12:04.880
now, Ezra, we have something like 450 diversity officers in the country to check out people,
00:12:12.300
you know, who say mean words online, you know, who disagree with government policy, who disagree
00:12:17.260
with transgender ideology. This is what we have now in Ireland. I mean, we're probably now
00:12:24.580
I find that so unusual. I mean, I don't know a lot about Ireland. I've only... This is only
00:12:28.580
my second time here. I know a little bit about Irish writers and Irish poets. And, of course,
00:12:35.580
we have a lot of Irish descendants in Canada, especially in Newfoundland. And when I... I mean,
00:12:41.600
I don't want to caricature a stereotype, but I would say that the Irish are politically incorrect.
00:12:49.780
They use the odd cuss word. They're blunt, and there's sort of a fighting spirit. I'd say
00:12:57.200
rebellious. Obviously, that's just... Not everyone meets up. But when you tell me that Ireland
00:13:03.180
has gone from, you know, a vigorous, boisterous place to a woke, obedient place,
00:13:14.220
Yeah. I mean, you can go back maybe 25, 30 years back in Ireland here. We suddenly became
00:13:21.940
a wealthy country very quickly. We came from a very poor country with high unemployment,
00:13:27.460
a lot of emigration, which is one of the biggest courses this country has ever suffered over
00:13:31.840
its history. And suddenly, we got this international investment. We reduced corporation tax to 12.5%.
00:13:39.300
The financial centres were set up. Google and the technology companies came in. Intel. And suddenly,
00:13:45.760
there was an influx of money. And it was really kind of fake money. There was cheap interest rates
00:13:49.600
in the European Union as well. And we kind of borrowed. We all thought we were millionaires.
00:13:54.780
But it actually changed us as well. You know, we all became a bit soulless, let's call it. We
00:14:01.240
lost track of what is important in life, in my opinion. And, you know, this thing of knowing
00:14:07.700
your neighbours, everybody, communities knew each other. That kind of thing disintegrated
00:14:11.560
over the years, the last 20, 25 years in Ireland. And no, I'm not saying it's everywhere,
00:14:16.600
but it is definitely a factor. And now what we have now is that people are being
00:14:22.220
influenced by the media, which has been completely overtaken in Ireland and overrun with this
00:14:31.540
Well, that's what's interesting to me is I, I mean, I'm sure what happened yesterday
00:14:36.240
was news no matter what. But it was like an identical message track on every single newspaper
00:14:42.520
front page. And we just hopped in the cab and we weren't even listening to a news station.
00:14:48.100
We were listening to a music station. And during the break, the DJ felt compelled to reiterate
00:14:54.480
the, it was like it was an official message track. But, but what was so interesting is we
00:14:59.260
had this total uniform narrative. But then we hop out of the car and we stand at Kulak where
00:15:06.060
the protests and riot, if you want to call it that, were. And massive numbers of people
00:15:12.080
are honking their horns in support. So you've got the official legacy media, the official
00:15:17.680
establishment over here. But if that honking was any guide, a ton of Irish do not support
00:15:27.020
Oh, absolutely. And then the recent opinion polls there, I mean, you can check them out.
00:15:30.760
The Red Sea polls, like we're credible polls. You're talking 80% of the people of Ireland
00:15:36.180
aren't happy about the immigration policies in Ireland now. And we've had, and they're saying
00:15:39.780
we've had too much of it. It needs to be controlled. But as I said, I mean, it's, it's something
00:15:44.420
that people that seem to be afraid to speak out in this country because we, there's no
00:15:50.220
opposition to what the government are trying to do.
00:15:52.360
And why is that? Like I look around in the UK, you have Nigel Farage talking about this.
00:15:57.460
In France, you have Marine Le Pen. In Germany, you have Alternative for Deutschland.
00:16:01.520
In Italy, you have Georgia Maloney. Even in the United States, I mean, Donald Trump.
00:16:07.100
In Canada, Pierre Polly, I'm slowly talking about, I look around the world, people are
00:16:12.180
starting to, the pendulum is swinging back. But what about Ireland?
00:16:16.620
Yeah, unfortunately, politically, though, we're a bit well behind those countries you
00:16:21.300
just mentioned there. Then we do have a couple of nationalist parties that are proper
00:16:25.320
nationalist party that believe in the Irish, the country of Ireland, the nation of Ireland
00:16:30.240
belongs to the Irish people and no apologies. And I mean, that gets you called a racist
00:16:34.520
and labeled as a racist. But see, the thing is, and again, I don't know a lot about Ireland,
00:16:38.740
but I, but everyone in Canada has heard of Sinn Féin and, you know, the Irish nationalism,
00:16:44.460
Irish Republicans. So what I learned is Sinn Féin, the official nationalist party was for
00:16:51.700
mass immigration and was calling anyone against it, a British intelligence asset. And it took me
00:16:57.060
a while to decode that. Like that's just such a, where I come from, that doesn't even make sense
00:17:01.380
here in Ireland. I guess that's the ultimate accusation of disloyalty. It seems upside down
00:17:07.200
to me that Sinn Féin is for open borders. I thought they were the ones who said Ireland
00:17:13.020
Yeah, I mean, and that's what they tried probably fool their, their, their members, their voters,
00:17:17.380
their diaspora, the people in Canada and America. Probably a lot of them still believe that.
00:17:21.800
But unfortunately, Sinn Féin have done a complete U-turn on nationalism.
00:17:26.100
They are the most woke party nearly out there now.
00:17:28.860
Fake, fake opposition. They didn't get the vote they were hoping to get the last.
00:17:33.180
They have made grounds and gains with the electorate over the last couple of years.
00:17:37.500
But this time around, local elections, they didn't do as well. People are getting to figure
00:17:41.880
out that they have turned the corner and they're against nationalism now. There's no way.
00:17:46.880
And I'm glad you brought up Sinn Féin, Ezra, because anybody out there, maybe in Canada
00:17:50.260
or the US, who are donating to Sinn Féin, please stop. If you're going to donate an Irish
00:17:55.880
cause, donate to the Irish nationalist parties like Ireland First, the National Party and
00:18:01.780
the Irish People Party. These, these parties are genuine Irish parties that are concerned
00:18:09.720
You know, I'm trying to wrap my head around it. See, in Canada, we, we don't have a history
00:18:16.240
of slavery. In fact, we were the place where runaway slaves from America would come on something
00:18:20.780
called the Underground Railroad. But there were native indigenous people and some of them
00:18:27.300
were put in residential schools. The reason I'm telling you this is that the self-hating
00:18:32.060
Canadians, they have something to point to. They say, look, you put Indians or indigenous
00:18:38.640
people in residential schools and you were mean to them. And in the States, they have the
00:18:43.220
legacy of slavery and Jim Crow laws. And you go around the world, the Brits of colonialism.
00:18:47.560
So you have all these reasons to be guilty. But Ireland, you are the indigenous people.
00:18:54.960
You are the First Nation in Ireland. You didn't colonize anyone. You didn't enslave anyone.
00:19:03.100
You did no wrong to anyone. In fact, I think a lot of people would say the Irish were wronged
00:19:07.760
against. And so this is what I do not understand. I can understand a self-hating American. I can
00:19:14.520
understand a self-hating Canadian, a self-hating Brit. I disagree with all that, but I can understand
00:19:18.820
it. Why would an Irishman loathe his own country? Why would an Irishman try and deracinate
00:19:26.500
Ireland and change it from being Irish? And I see this. I'm trying to follow Irish news and I see
00:19:33.360
censorship rules and woke rules and fighting anti-white racism and white privilege. I see all this
00:19:41.760
stuff. And I see, why are you importing this American idea or these, like, it just doesn't
00:19:47.940
fit here. I don't get why Ireland can't be Irish. I mean, you could probably put it down to being a
00:19:54.000
result of what happens to a population when mainstream media are given a free reign.
00:19:59.940
It's got to be more than just mainstream media. Come on. It is.
00:20:02.640
It's got to be the schools. It's got to be the NGOs.
00:20:04.220
Don't get me started. I mean, it's universities, it's colleges, it's politicians. It's kind of every
00:20:11.380
facet of society now is infected with this woke virus in Ireland. And it didn't take long. But I
00:20:16.780
mean, the problem is we just don't have an opposition to it as yet. We are working and we
00:20:20.760
are making great strides in Ireland. But the recent election has shown us that we haven't made the
00:20:27.300
strides we quite thought we had made. But we're still at it. We're still out in here talking to people
00:20:32.260
like you, hoping that you put this message around the world. So people from outside of Ireland and
00:20:37.080
the diaspora in Ireland can come and help us. Ireland, as I said before in an interview,
00:20:41.280
Ireland is on life support now. We are nearly at a stage where we will be gone forever.
00:20:45.560
Our population will be gone forever. And these self-loathing people, it just goes, the power,
00:20:50.420
and it looks like the power of being on the gravy train. If you don't go along with the woke ideology,
00:20:55.080
if you speak out against LGBT nonsense, or if you speak out against immigration, you're in danger,
00:21:00.080
this country of losing your job and your livelihood. And that's a terrifying prospect for a lot of
00:21:04.900
We're only here for a short period of time because we got to get back to Canada. There's a lot of
00:21:09.340
stuff cooking there. But tomorrow, we're hoping to go down to Tipperary County about two hours from
00:21:15.280
here. I heard there's a town so small, it's a village. It's actually really just based around
00:21:21.300
this one country house, Dundrum, where there's 175 Irish in the village, 175. And the government,
00:21:33.660
without consultation, without permission, without consent, without warning, wants to put 280
00:21:41.000
foreign migrants in a village of 175, immediately rendering the Irish a minority, immediately and
00:21:50.880
perhaps irrevocably altering the history of that town. I find that such a staggering thing.
00:21:59.240
I can't understand that. Well, I mean, there's bad immigration rules in a lot of countries,
00:22:08.240
but to destroy a village, I don't get it. I just, I wish I could understand the rationale.
00:22:16.680
Yeah. And look, as I've been outside these DPs, direct provision centers that they plant in these
00:22:23.300
And that's what they call them, direct provision centers.
00:22:25.380
Yeah. And they plant these hordes of men, mainly military age men. And I've tried my best to go
00:22:31.820
around and I've asked them plenty of interviews and questions about how they got here and everything
00:22:35.840
else. And I've yet to find anyone I could perceive to be genuine, a genuine refugee. Now, plus that,
00:22:41.180
a number of these places I've been to, and I've actually gone to the nearest piece of shrubbery or bush
00:22:46.600
or whatever that has cover. And you'd walk in there and the first place they go to is these bushes
00:22:52.220
to shoot up drugs and whatever, smoke, crack, cocaine, you name it, little drug dens. And I've
00:22:58.620
seen them. You can check out my Twitter. I've done it in the past. Last summer, we found a place in
00:23:03.120
City West and other places. So they're not bringing in the best. They're not bringing in, I'm not saying
00:23:08.380
all these migrants are criminals, but well, anybody who comes into a country illegally is a criminal in
00:23:13.240
my view. And that's the law says that itself. It's not just me, but, um, yeah, they, they are
00:23:17.980
definitely not bringing in, um, engineers, doctors or, or whatever, you know?
00:23:24.240
Well, it's just astonishing. Uh, I think it's outrageous that you were arrested in the car ride
00:23:30.700
over. You, you, you tell me you have a lawyer that you, you think can, uh, help you out. And I'm glad
00:23:35.580
to hear it. Um, I don't know. This is a very strange place. I, I wish I had come to Ireland
00:23:44.740
20 years ago. Uh, I wish I had experienced that Ireland because the Ireland I see now is,
00:23:52.040
is so hard to understand. By the way, it's beautiful. Like it just looks beautiful. Like
00:23:56.800
this is, this is, uh, unbelievably beautiful. And I can see why so much literature and poetry, uh,
00:24:04.460
uh, emanated and, and songs. I mean, whether it's U2 or the Cranberries or, you know, there's
00:24:11.400
so much music that comes from this place. So, so much of it is so soulful. I was a super
00:24:17.240
fan of Sinead O'Connor growing up. I, um, that Ireland, there's still some of it left. Don't
00:24:24.400
get me wrong, but my God, they're trying to drive it out. Yeah. I mean, you just have to
00:24:28.800
go into the city center now or you're going to be staying there. Um, I wouldn't go out late
00:24:32.380
at night. Um, walk down the streets, the main street, O'Connell street, iconic street with
00:24:37.160
the GPO where the 1916 rising happened. And you'll be doing well to find an Irish person.
00:24:41.540
You're talking about up to 80% of the population in them. And that area is non-Irish, you know,
00:24:46.840
African, Middle Eastern, uh, Albanian drug gangs, you know, Roma gypsies, you name it. Like
00:24:53.080
there's all these different mishmash of people and anti-social behavior to beat the band. And
00:24:57.420
it's nearly getting to a point where we're going to be having these no go zones. You know,
00:25:00.800
police, Irish police won't go into these areas, you know, and they won't report on a
00:25:05.580
migrant crime the same way as they report on Irish crime. When I came out of the courts
00:25:09.580
yesterday, there was three mainstream media companies outside only delighted to film you
00:25:15.160
coming out of court to try and portray you as something. I asked them, not only them
00:25:18.380
want to interview me, the three companies, not one of them would interview me. They want
00:25:21.900
to film you coming out and they want to put a narrative on why you're in that court and
00:25:25.520
destroy Irish people. And then the Irish people, as we mentioned earlier in Dundrum, if you
00:25:29.400
disagree with what they're doing to your area, they will come over and they will smash you in
00:25:33.940
the head and they will take you out and take you down. This, this government that we're living
00:25:39.280
Phil Dwyer, thanks for talking with us. Absolutely terrifying. We'll keep an eye on your social
00:25:43.760
media feed and hopefully you will be exonerated from these charges. It sounded like they just
00:25:48.720
wanted to sweep you off the streets because you were shining a light of scrutiny. If you had
00:25:52.320
as many viewers as you, as you mentioned, I think that's why you were arrested. So stay safe,
00:25:57.860
keep up the fight and we'll keep an eye on what you're up to.
00:26:00.200
Thanks so many, Ezra. Thanks for speaking to me.
00:26:09.400
Well, a theme I've heard from probably 10 people here today is powerlessness. No one listens to them,
00:26:20.320
at least no one in the establishment, whether it's establishment media or establishment political
00:26:26.120
parties, let alone establishment police. So it's almost unique to see an actual elected official
00:26:34.260
here. And hopefully his presence will deter any police action. Although so far, the police have
00:26:42.240
kept themselves hundreds of yards away. I'm talking with Councillor Glenn Moore. What a pleasure to meet
00:26:48.400
Thanks very much. Glad to be here. And I'll be here for a good while until I go.
00:26:51.960
Yeah, it's just, well, look, it's, it's, it's much more calm than what it is yesterday.
00:26:57.800
You said there, you know, deterred the police. Now we, we got sprayed. It was four counselors
00:27:02.840
yesterday and we were, we were targeted as well. So even though we tried to deescalate the situation
00:27:07.760
because it was a good few elderly people. So the idea is we wanted to deescalate is because
00:27:14.160
the riot police was charging and many people couldn't actually get away from them fast enough,
00:27:20.080
especially elderly people. And, you know, we already have a video of a 79 year old lady that
00:27:25.920
got pepper sprayed and she was on crutches. So that was one of the reasons, yeah, we wanted to deescalate,
00:27:31.280
to stop them from advancing each time because you had people just confused, didn't know where to go,
00:27:35.440
didn't know where to stand. People were getting hurt. And it was just, it was just mad. And to say like,
00:27:41.840
you know, you know, of course there was young lads, like in the MAGA, trolling stuff and all that.
00:27:46.240
Of course that happened. But both sides were engaging on each other. Both the Garda broke ranks,
00:27:51.680
ran into the crowd, grabbed people, antagonized people, both sides. It just, it just, it just blew up
00:27:58.960
and there was no, there was no chance for a peaceful protest. So it was, it was disappointing on both,
00:28:06.480
both sides. But, um, you know, I still stand by what I was saying online is that, you know,
00:28:13.040
people here, we have to, we have the right to free assembly and to protest. Um, and that should be
00:28:17.520
respected, um, on both sides, should be respected on both sides, uh, both, both the law enforcement
00:28:23.840
and the people here. No, I mean, it's interesting because we have people of every age here. There are
00:28:28.560
some seniors who need a little bit of help, don't have a lot of mobility. You do have, I'm going to say,
00:28:33.920
20 young lads who I think are looking for a little adrenaline, looking for a little action.
00:28:40.240
And, and if they did throw things, which apparently they did, that's not a good thing,
00:28:46.240
but to have a mass indiscriminate pepper spray that hit you. So you yourself were pepper spray.
00:28:52.720
Yeah. Yeah. So I'm, I take it you were not throwing rocks. You're an elected city councilor.
00:28:57.360
No, I wouldn't. I mean, no one has a video on me committing any crime. All I did was, uh,
00:29:01.520
I was blocked off on multiple, uh, locations. So I had to walk past a line of Garda. Uh, and I seen
00:29:08.080
someone in front of me get pepper sprayed for no reason whatsoever. And all I said was, you know,
00:29:12.080
what you did was wrong. Uh, and I was told to fuck off. Sorry. I didn't admit during the course,
00:29:16.240
I was told to fuck off and get lost. And I got sprayed as well by walking past. So in, in Canada,
00:29:21.920
police have the power to use pepper spray or even firearms, but of course they have to do so within
00:29:28.560
certain rules within the law. They can't be wild. They can't be indiscriminate.
00:29:33.200
Um, in Canada, if you were pepper sprayed for having done nothing,
00:29:38.240
the police might be in trouble for assault themselves. Have you or any of the other people
00:29:43.680
who were pepper sprayed considered your legal rights? Or is this something you're going to
00:29:47.680
write a letter to the Garda about or, or are you just going to let it be? Well, you see,
00:29:51.840
you could do that. It's the right course of action. But the Garda that are in riot gear,
00:29:55.760
uh, and are covered up, they have no numbers and no one would keep track exactly where they are.
00:30:01.360
So you'd be, you'd be looking for a needle in a haystack. So there's no way you can get these.
00:30:05.360
So that, that, and that's one of the reasons why probably a lot of them, like there was one video
00:30:10.080
of, uh, of a Garda dropping his, uh, riot shield and going straight towards a guy to get him down.
00:30:15.680
He didn't resist. And then another, uh, Garda was, uh, took out the baton and was beating the crap out
00:30:20.880
of him. Like, so they can take advantage in liberties like that all they want because they're,
00:30:24.720
the number is hidden and their faces are hidden. So it's like I said, it's not good sites at all.
00:30:28.640
Like, um, to me, it's, it's, it feels like dark times, um, that your people are killing each other
00:30:35.440
over, over something that we feel we should have control of. Like, um, we, we don't want this
00:30:41.120
country to be flooded with thousands, hundreds of thousands of undocumented males. Like you keep
00:30:47.360
saying women and children. It's not. We have the videos. Everybody has videos, thousands upon thousands
00:30:52.240
of videos. Like it's, it's lies upon lies upon lies. And people are waking up going like this,
00:30:56.560
there's something wrong. It's a, it's a sinister feeling the Irish people have. Um, and that's,
00:31:01.440
that's what's causing people to show up. Is that like, is that thing at the back of their mind saying
00:31:05.840
something is wrong. Uh, we're not being told what's happening. Uh, why are they being planted here?
00:31:10.560
Why do we have to pay for them? Why are we bringing the world here where this is a massive strain on our
00:31:14.720
economy where the worst, the worst thing I feel like, you know, a lot of people talk about
00:31:18.560
dentists appointments and hospitals are overflown. Yeah. The worst thing I see is actually the
00:31:22.480
prisons are overflown. Our prisons are at nine, 80, 87.5 to 90% and they're letting criminals out
00:31:29.120
because of overcrowding. So criminals are going to prison and they're being let out. They're not
00:31:33.360
being punished. That's an incentive for them to say, oh, I can actually commit this crime again. I
00:31:37.600
can go back in and be out in a week's time. This it's, it's madness. And it feels like this is the fall
00:31:42.480
of a republic. It feels like this is the fall of our, our culture and our civilization. And people can,
00:31:47.040
people can feel it. People can see it. I see it. I'm, I'm in politics now. I'm an engineer.
00:31:51.600
I didn't want to do politics. I don't, I don't like politics. I don't want to be a politician,
00:31:54.960
but I'm doing this because I see, I see bad things happen in the future if no one takes a stand against
00:31:59.120
this. Our culture is being eroded. What are we supposed to do? And to be honest, I don't even
00:32:04.240
have any answers. No one has answers. I don't, we don't know how to tackle it. Truly we don't.
00:32:09.280
Thanks. Now you said some very spicy things. You've criticized the police, which, you know,
00:32:15.840
for an elected official, that's actually a fairly dramatic thing to do. I guess, fair play,
00:32:21.680
they pepper sprayed you. Have you faced any pressure, any cancel culture, any retaliation
00:32:30.000
against you for standing with these people? Because so far you're the first official person
00:32:35.760
I've seen be here. Uh, well, you, you, you get the people online, you know, saying you can't be
00:32:41.120
doing this, can't be doing that. I have followed the constitution law very clearly and I remain in
00:32:46.080
those boundaries. I don't break it. And I'm, I know my rights. So I, I, if anyone, anyone wants to come
00:32:51.680
after me, uh, they're, they're not going to win because I can literally just quote the constitution
00:32:57.840
every time. Like a lot of people were saying like, you have no right at being here, but you're,
00:33:00.800
you're councillor in another area. I was like, I have a right to free assembly and the right
00:33:04.720
to protest anywhere I want in this country. I, even though it isn't, isn't my area, I'm here to
00:33:08.640
support people. So. Now, why do you think the local councillors are not supportive? I mean,
00:33:14.000
if I was a politician, politicians care about money and they care about votes. And I know that Kulak
00:33:20.880
isn't a very wealthy neighbourhood, but there seems to be hundreds of people who are very worried.
00:33:27.200
Wouldn't it make pragmatic sense for a politician to say, I can oppose this migrant centre,
00:33:34.640
and have hundreds of passionate supporters. Like where are the local councillors from this
00:33:42.000
Well, from my, from my, from the South Dublin County Council, a lot of them are in support
00:33:50.080
of what has happened here, but they won't say it. They're too afraid. They're, it's,
00:33:54.400
it's the woke movement. They're afraid of saying something and you know, the council culture,
00:33:57.440
like they're, they're afraid of saying something and now you'd be accused of being a racist or whatever
00:34:00.480
is, there's something to do with racism. You could, you could have blonde hair, blue eyes,
00:34:04.720
and millions of them could be going into that centre. It doesn't matter, Ireland is full.
00:34:07.360
It doesn't matter where you come from. We can't, we can't, we can't deal with this anymore.
00:34:12.080
I mean, I, I look around and if I was running here, I would think, well, I could get hundreds
00:34:17.840
of volunteers. I would win. Who, who are those other politicians afraid of? I mean,
00:34:24.400
I've seen polls that suggest that many Irish do not like this level of immigration. I just don't see
00:34:30.400
that reflected in, in the government. Do you think that can change it? Tell me about some of the
00:34:35.120
nationalist parties. You yourself are involved in one of the nationalist parties. Am I right?
00:34:39.520
So I'm the Irish Freedom Party and our main objective is to leave the European Union. We
00:34:43.840
believe it's gotten completely out of control, especially with the migration. Like, you know,
00:34:50.080
you just have to look up videos in France and Germany. Crimes has gone sky high and it's never the
00:34:54.880
native Europeans that are committing it. It's people that are coming from North Africa and the Middle East.
00:34:58.720
It's, it's, it's not a nice thing to say, but it's true. It's the truth. You're bringing, you're bringing
00:35:02.800
people in there from a country that are, countries that are falling apart and riddled with crime.
00:35:07.920
I have no problem with migration. I have no problem with doctors and engineers coming here,
00:35:10.880
but that's not what's coming here. It's people that are, people that are, like I always, I catch a lot
00:35:15.120
of people out by saying, you know, if someone doesn't side with me, I say, do you go on holidays?
00:35:18.960
And they say, yeah, I go on holidays. Where would you go on holidays? Do you go to Spain or France
00:35:22.480
or Italy? And they say, yeah, I would. I was like, would you go to Algeria or Nigeria?
00:35:27.600
And especially for a woman, they'd say, no. I said, why not? I was like, is it unsafe for you? I was like,
00:35:32.000
yeah, it's very unsafe. I was like, well, what makes that country unsafe? You know, they think
00:35:36.240
for a second. I was like, it's the people that are there that make it unsafe. That was saying
00:35:39.360
people are getting into this country now and making us unsafe. That's the bottom line. And it's the truth.
00:35:45.360
I stepped off the plane this morning. I went to a newspaper stand. Every single newspaper had the
00:35:52.000
same front page. Slightly different words. Deplorable was one of them. Now, in North America,
00:35:58.560
Hillary Clinton called working class people deplorables. It was a kind of insult. Every single
00:36:04.320
media outlet was like they were reading from the same script. Are there any alternative sources of
00:36:12.960
news or information? Because if Facebook and Instagram are censored, if the mainstream media
00:36:18.800
is a monolith, if the radio is a monolith, an RTE, how is an Irish person supposed to get the
00:36:25.120
other side of the story? We just have to beat the elections and stop the taxpayers from paying
00:36:30.560
for our corrupt media. Don't even try to install a favorable media on your side when you take power.
00:36:36.400
Just don't defund it. A propaganda tool is not good for any society, especially a free one.
00:36:43.200
There it is, Councillor Glenn Moore, talking to us in a group of people that few politicians would
00:36:50.480
dare to stand with. Thanks very much for your time. Nice to meet you.
00:36:58.000
Well, that's our show for today. We have so much more tomorrow. Oh my gosh,
00:37:02.720
you're not going to want to miss tomorrow's astonishing story about a town of 200 people
00:37:08.640
that is having 280 migrants shipped there. More than the population of the town. It's incredible,
00:37:17.200
I promise you. And that's why I'm hoping you get the video portion of this show. Some people listen
00:37:23.040
in audio only. We'll have the video version. You're not going to want to miss this. Until next time,
00:37:29.280
on behalf of all of us here at Rebel News, to you at home, good night, and keep fighting for freedom.
