Rebel News Podcast - EZRA LEVANT ｜ Ezra reports from the massive Irish protest against illegal immigration

00:00:00.000 Tonight, I'm in Dublin for the largest anti-immigration march I've ever seen.

00:00:05.440 It's May 7th, and this is The Ezra Levant Show. 0.58

00:00:11.180 Shame on you, you censorious bug.

00:00:22.940 I'm standing on the street next to the river that courses through Dublin, Ireland. 0.88

00:00:29.200 This majestic building behind me was the center of the largest anti-immigration march I've ever seen.

00:00:37.600 I want to take you through some of the interesting things we saw today,

00:00:41.200 the interesting places that we went, the interesting people we spoke to.

00:00:45.220 At least I think they're interesting.

00:00:47.260 And we're going to put this show outside the paywall,

00:00:50.380 because it was crowdfunded in part by viewers who wanted to see what was going on,

00:00:55.940 because they knew the mainstream media would not cover it.

00:00:59.920 If you want to go to that website, it's called MigrantReports.com.

00:01:04.260 You can chip in a few quid.

00:01:05.940 We're here, they use euros.

00:01:07.800 So for the course of the next half hour, enjoy what we saw today in Ireland.

00:01:12.440 Ezra Levant here for Rebel News.

00:01:18.320 I've touched down in Dublin, Ireland, for a whistle-stop trip

00:01:22.520 to see what's going on with their migrant crisis.

00:01:26.520 We've been told that later today,

00:01:28.040 the largest anti-immigration march in Ireland's history will be happening.

00:01:33.780 We want to see what all the fuss is about.

00:01:36.300 We want to see if indeed it is as large as its proponents say it will be.

00:01:40.900 And if so, who's there?

00:01:43.300 What are they saying?

00:01:44.780 And how are they responded to by the pro-immigration factions,

00:01:49.500 globalists, left-wingers, and the immigration industry,

00:01:54.340 which is doing very well these days?

00:01:57.480 I have in my hand a copy of the Irish Independent.

00:02:00.500 Look at the above-the-fold story.

00:02:02.500 Demand for answers as new immigrant tent city grows. 0.99

00:02:06.800 I'm standing in front of one of those tent cities.

00:02:10.380 Dublin's a beautiful city.

00:02:12.340 They call Ireland the Emerald Isle.

00:02:15.440 And you can see why lush green lily pads,

00:02:19.660 refurbished old schools, now four-star hotels.

00:02:24.900 There's modern things, too, like over there, the electric company office.

00:02:28.760 But there's squalor because in the last couple of years,

00:02:34.840 Ireland has become the drop zone for a massive wave of migration.

00:02:41.060 I learned from the Irish Independent that 100,000 of those migrants are from Ukraine,

00:02:48.160 which shouldn't be surprising.

00:02:50.780 Millions of Ukrainians have been displaced because of the war.

00:02:54.300 But think about it.

00:02:55.960 Ireland barely has 5 million people.

00:02:59.680 It's smaller in population than the greater Toronto area.

00:03:04.640 And imagine taking 100,000 migrants, many of whom don't speak the language,

00:03:10.140 and plunking them down here.

00:03:12.520 In Canadian terms, Canada's eight times larger.

00:03:16.320 That would be like nearly one million Ukrainians.

00:03:21.120 There's simply not enough space for them,

00:03:24.020 not in big cities like Dublin, and certainly not in smaller towns.

00:03:29.360 A few weeks ago, one such town called Newtown Mount Kennedy, excuse me,

00:03:35.160 was told that this town of 2,800 people

00:03:38.200 was going to be given a gift of hundreds of migrants.

00:03:42.140 No one was asked, they were just told.

00:03:45.260 Locals were shocked by the idea, and they rioted.

00:03:49.460 There was even arson.

00:03:50.740 There have been cases of buildings that are scheduled to take migrants

00:03:54.760 being torched by the locals to try and stop it.

00:03:58.840 Obviously, we don't support violence,

00:04:00.980 but the fact that people are driven to such ends

00:04:03.440 suggests to me that the political system is not listening.

00:04:07.700 I should tell you that just a month ago,

00:04:11.060 the globalist prime minister of Ireland at the time, Leo Varadkar,

00:04:15.000 he has since resigned, put forward two referendums

00:04:18.620 that were so shockingly out of touch with the Irish people.

00:04:21.540 I'll give you the example.

00:04:22.420 One of them was to take the concept of motherhood

00:04:25.620 out of the Irish constitution.

00:04:27.600 Don't know if you know, but Ireland is a beautiful constitution

00:04:30.720 that specifically talks about women

00:04:33.380 and protecting women and their role as mothers.

00:04:35.920 It's actually incredible and very beautiful.

00:04:38.680 I've never seen a constitution like it.

00:04:41.040 Leo Varadkar and the entire establishment voted to remove that

00:04:45.560 while the people had other things in mind.

00:04:48.080 Three quarters of Irishmen voted against that.

00:04:50.720 I tell you that because although it sounds unrelated

00:04:53.220 to the migrant crisis, it's actually not.

00:04:57.180 It's the difference between a globalist elite

00:05:00.660 that likes to hang out at the Davos World Economic Forum meetings

00:05:05.560 and swan around with the likes of Justin Trudeau,

00:05:10.080 an out-of-touch elite versus ordinary Irish people 0.92

00:05:13.220 who were never asked.

00:05:15.080 I'm going to see if any of the people in this tent city want to talk. 0.66

00:05:20.160 It doesn't look like many of them are up, but I'm curious.

00:05:23.220 Where did they come from?

00:05:24.960 How did they wind up here?

00:05:27.180 What do they do for basic services?

00:05:29.740 Where do they wash? 0.99

00:05:31.000 Where do they go to the bathroom? 1.00

00:05:32.720 How do they eat?

00:05:33.940 What are their prospects?

00:05:34.900 I suppose it's better to be here sitting in a tent next to a canal

00:05:40.880 than being back in Ukraine on the front lines.

00:05:44.100 I don't doubt that.

00:05:45.720 But what is their future here in Ireland?

00:05:48.840 And will Ireland continue to be the drop zone

00:05:51.420 for the globalist immigration schemes?

00:05:54.720 It's one of the things we'll ask and try and find out

00:05:57.380 in our whistle-stop tour of Ireland.

00:06:00.600 You know, it's still early in the morning.

00:06:01.900 We got here on the overnight flight from Canada.

00:06:05.760 We just threw our stuff down at the hotel,

00:06:07.880 and then we came straight here.

00:06:09.440 It was sort of interesting that this was on the front page

00:06:12.280 of the Irish Independent.

00:06:14.780 I just bumped into a cameraman from the state broadcaster here

00:06:18.420 called RTE, as you can imagine.

00:06:21.400 Being the state broadcaster and the left-wing government,

00:06:23.720 they are like Canada's CBC.

00:06:25.600 But they know this is a news story.

00:06:27.560 It's still early, and everyone here seems to be sleeping in.

00:06:30.580 But I see someone looks like he's just getting up now.

00:06:34.280 I don't want to interrupt people.

00:06:36.520 I don't want to wake people up.

00:06:38.720 But if people are up and at them

00:06:42.500 and getting started with their day

00:06:43.860 and want to talk to us, I'm happy to talk to them.

00:06:47.020 Would you like to talk on camera?

00:06:48.780 You're still...

00:06:50.220 You don't speak English?

00:06:51.840 Where are you from?

00:06:52.640 You're from Palestine?

00:06:55.960 Palestine.

00:06:56.640 When did you get here?

00:06:59.860 You don't want to speak English.

00:07:01.740 He says he's from Palestine or Palestine,

00:07:05.260 and he says he doesn't speak English.

00:07:09.640 Let's continue walking.

00:07:11.100 By the way, I should say,

00:07:17.940 I don't think there's any direct flights

00:07:21.440 from the West Bank or Gaza to Ireland.

00:07:25.200 So obviously the folks here came through a second country.

00:07:28.480 And one of the rules about refugee status

00:07:30.860 that the United Nations has resolved

00:07:33.600 is that if you're a refugee,

00:07:35.920 you have to present in the first safe country you arrive at.

00:07:39.660 You can't sort of go shopping around

00:07:41.960 and island hopping, so to speak.

00:07:43.960 So that's a curious thing.

00:07:45.300 I wonder if these folks were invited here.

00:07:47.340 For example, back in Canada,

00:07:48.780 Justin Trudeau has granted visas

00:07:51.200 to over 7,000 people from Gaza.

00:07:54.740 A deliberate decision.

00:07:56.420 I wonder how these folks made their way here.

00:08:00.220 Let's keep going.

00:08:01.020 I saw a fellow got out of his tent earlier.

00:08:02.980 Maybe we can talk to someone.

00:08:07.840 As I pass some of the tents,

00:08:09.240 I can hear them talking

00:08:10.400 either to someone else in the tent

00:08:12.580 or they're on the phone.

00:08:13.860 So they are stirring.

00:08:15.780 I got to say, it's got to be uncomfortable.

00:08:18.620 It's springtime, so it's not very cold.

00:08:22.840 It is a little bit rainy.

00:08:24.120 It would not be pleasant

00:08:26.320 staying in these tents here.

00:08:28.820 I hope I can talk to someone and ask them,

00:08:31.080 how long are they going to be here?

00:08:32.620 Who sent them here?

00:08:33.880 What are their prospects?

00:08:34.900 If you're from Ukraine, 1.00

00:08:38.860 as some of these people I suspect are,

00:08:40.700 or if you're from Palestine,

00:08:42.180 as that one guy said he was,

00:08:43.720 you would probably prefer to be here

00:08:45.560 than back in your home country.

00:08:47.940 What do the Irish have to say?

00:08:49.680 I don't know if they'll speak candidly around here,

00:08:52.380 but I suspect that the people

00:08:53.780 at the anti-immigration march

00:08:56.280 will have plenty to say.

00:08:57.440 That's why they're marching.

00:08:58.160 One more thought that comes to mind

00:09:06.260 is we've only seen two people so far,

00:09:08.540 and obviously they were both young,

00:09:11.460 military-aged men.

00:09:12.820 I don't know if there are women 1.00

00:09:14.560 in these tents as well,

00:09:16.080 and that would be something that's on my mind

00:09:17.980 just from a safety point of view.

00:09:19.900 I don't want to peek into the tents

00:09:21.220 against people here.

00:09:23.160 This is their home.

00:09:24.300 I don't want to peer inside.

00:09:25.580 Perhaps they're in a state of undress,

00:09:28.760 or they just don't want to talk to someone,

00:09:30.980 so I'll wait for people to come out themselves,

00:09:34.140 but I wonder if there's just men here,

00:09:36.840 if there are women too. 1.00

00:09:39.260 Can I talk to you on camera?

00:09:41.440 Can I talk to you for a minute?

00:09:42.880 Where are you from?

00:09:45.680 He's shy, fair enough.

00:09:48.060 Oh, it looks like he is going into one of the tents.

00:09:50.700 I don't know where he's from.

00:09:55.580 I have sympathy for the people in these tents, obviously.

00:09:58.580 I would not want to be in one of these tents.

00:10:00.900 One of the things I would ask them

00:10:02.140 if I encounter someone who's willing to talk

00:10:04.180 and able to speak English is,

00:10:06.500 what were you promised?

00:10:08.540 And how do you feel with your current situation?

00:10:12.540 And how do you feel about

00:10:14.460 hundreds of thousands more migrants being brought in?

00:10:18.560 Hi, how are you guys?

00:10:19.700 Do you guys live around here?

00:10:21.820 Are you in these tents?

00:10:22.520 I want to ask you, please, don't film me, please.

00:10:24.100 Okay.

00:10:24.880 Don't film me.

00:10:25.640 Okay.

00:10:26.140 Excuse me, please.

00:10:26.740 Are you going to help these guys or no?

00:10:28.740 Well, I want to...

00:10:29.660 What's the point of filming them, please?

00:10:31.560 I want to know who they are

00:10:33.140 and what they're doing.

00:10:34.700 Yeah, it's all your business, bro.

00:10:36.400 If you're going to give them some help,

00:10:37.820 give them some help.

00:10:38.520 Don't film me, man.

00:10:39.280 I already told you that, yeah?

00:10:40.880 Don't film me, bro.

00:10:42.240 Don't film me, yeah, public place,

00:10:43.920 but don't film me, man.

00:10:44.940 I'm telling you, yeah?

00:10:46.400 I'm telling you, yeah?

00:10:47.440 You keep walking back here.

00:10:48.020 I'm telling you, yeah? 0.99

00:10:49.300 Don't fucking film me, yeah? 1.00

00:10:52.520 Fucking cunt. 1.00

00:10:55.840 What's your name? 1.00

00:10:57.600 I'm talking to this guy, yeah?

00:10:58.940 What's your name?

00:10:59.740 Where are you from? 1.00

00:11:00.660 It's all your fucking business, man. 1.00

00:11:02.320 Well, why did you come up and talk to us? 1.00

00:11:04.200 So why are you filming people?

00:11:05.060 Are you going to give them help?

00:11:06.000 Are you going to help them, yeah?

00:11:07.180 Maybe.

00:11:07.720 No, maybe, yeah, no, maybe.

00:11:09.000 You're just making like...

00:11:10.000 You just want to get your wages, man, you know?

00:11:12.500 Are you filming, yeah?

00:11:13.880 We want to know what's going on.

00:11:15.320 Well, go get a burger, yeah? 0.99

00:11:17.960 Fucking hell, man. 0.99

00:11:18.880 Well, there's a fellow who wasn't happy with us here. 0.99

00:11:23.560 I don't think I'm in a position to help these folks, and I don't think that's my job.

00:11:28.180 I think that's more the job of the Irish government.

00:11:31.480 There's an angry fellow who...

00:11:33.300 I don't know why he reacted that way.

00:11:36.680 Perhaps he doesn't want attention being put on these people, but surely he can't think that this is good.

00:11:44.260 In fact, I know he doesn't.

00:11:45.560 He said, are we going to help them?

00:11:47.600 I don't think that's for me to do.

00:11:49.320 I think that's for the Irish government to do, the Irish people to do.

00:11:54.020 Perhaps he thinks that we're going to be biased in some way.

00:11:57.220 I don't feel like I have a bias, other than I suppose my instincts are there's only so much absorption that a country can have.

00:12:09.380 Ireland is obviously being taxed, and I think Canada is, too.

00:12:16.020 Canadian immigration numbers used to be 250,000 people per year.

00:12:20.360 Then Trudeau raised it to a third of a million per year, and everyone thought that was shocking.

00:12:24.320 But we now know that in the last couple of years, it's actually hit more than 2 million, 900,000 of whom are students.

00:12:32.580 Now, there's not room for 900,000 college and university students in Canada.

00:12:38.040 It's a sham.

00:12:38.840 It's an immigration sham that these diploma mills sell. 1.00

00:12:43.080 600,000 temporary foreign workers.

00:12:45.500 So there's actually 2.2 million people who have been brought to Canada in a single year.

00:12:51.360 We're having enormous absorption problems in Canada, and indeed, we are starting to see tense cities like that in our country, too.

00:13:00.420 We were just walking down here, and a fellow was walking his dog, and he said, hey, Rebel News.

00:13:04.760 He said he didn't want to appear on camera, so we turned it off.

00:13:07.320 But it was interesting to chat with him.

00:13:09.100 First of all, it's exciting to be recognized in a faraway place like Dublin.

00:13:15.760 Second of all, I mean, he says something that I think I feel, too, which is you can't really blame the people who are here.

00:13:22.780 If they were invited here especially, if they were made promises here, and then the government didn't have a place to put them.

00:13:30.660 I don't know how easy it is to get to Ireland without the government's permission.

00:13:36.780 What I mean by that is it's an island far away from the Middle East, far away from Ukraine, far away from Gaza, if that fellow was telling the truth earlier. 0.99

00:13:47.260 So if you are here on this canal, which he says it's a beautiful canal, which it certainly is, but he says he's reluctant to walk on it because the garbage and sometimes even human excrement, he says.

00:14:02.640 And I don't know.

00:14:05.180 He says that it's the government's fault as much as anyone on the street, and I think he's right.

00:14:11.400 We're going to head back this way now, and I see a few more people are up.

00:14:15.180 I want to be careful that I don't get into any fisticuffs.

00:14:17.960 I'm not here to argue or quarrel.

00:14:20.100 I'm not here to lecture or condemn.

00:14:22.280 Sort of the opposite.

00:14:22.920 I'm here to ask questions.

00:14:24.460 Who are you?

00:14:25.440 Why are you here?

00:14:26.760 What's next for you?

00:14:28.300 What do you think of the situation?

00:14:30.660 It was sort of interesting to be accosted a few minutes ago by that one fellow with the scar on his face, and he's obviously angry about something, but I don't think I gave him any cause to be.

00:14:39.620 Let's see if there's anyone else here who's more chatty and less angry.

00:14:45.180 Hi there.

00:14:46.600 Can we talk to you a little bit about what's going on around here?

00:14:49.980 No?

00:14:50.580 Where are you from?

00:14:52.740 He's turned off again.

00:14:54.140 Well, where are you from? 1.00

00:14:55.260 It's my fucking business. 1.00

00:14:57.160 Why is it not my business? 1.00

00:14:59.400 I'm from Dublin.

00:15:00.420 You're from Dublin?

00:15:01.000 Yeah.

00:15:01.960 All right.

00:15:02.540 All right.

00:15:02.840 Can I go for you?

00:15:04.060 Sure.

00:15:07.180 Okay.

00:15:08.140 We finished the circuit, and the guy we saw before with the scar on his face was not happy

00:15:23.280 to see us.

00:15:24.100 Lots of swears.

00:15:24.960 No real physical threats, but I think he was trying to be intimidating.

00:15:28.540 I didn't want to get into a fight.

00:15:30.660 That's not my job.

00:15:31.520 That's not my purpose, and I don't really believe in violence.

00:15:34.300 I talked to another fellow who was happy to talk with us a little bit, as long as the

00:15:40.920 camera wasn't on.

00:15:42.140 He said he was from Pakistan.

00:15:43.980 He said he arrived only in the last couple of weeks, and that he's claiming asylum.

00:15:48.940 I asked him on what basis he's fleeing Pakistan, and he said he wouldn't tell me.

00:15:56.140 I asked him what his prospects were, what he thought would happen.

00:15:58.900 He said that he imagined he would stay in a tent situation or something like that for

00:16:05.500 four or five months before being given free housing.

00:16:09.600 I'm not sure who the fellow was who was swearing at us, but it appears to me that everyone in

00:16:14.720 this encampment is from Pakistan or another Muslim country.

00:16:22.920 I didn't see any Ukrainians, even though, according to the newspaper, there's been 100,000

00:16:28.360 Ukrainian refugees.

00:16:29.340 This appears to be an ethnically homogenous group of Muslims, and some of them were shy,

00:16:37.300 some of them were just annoyed by us, and we didn't pester them, but that one guy was

00:16:42.880 very hostile.

00:16:43.880 And I've got to say, if that's the face of immigration, of asylum seekers, it's easy to understand why 1.00

00:16:55.380 Irish people get their dander up. 1.00

00:16:57.720 I don't think I was provoking anything sort of the opposite.

00:17:01.180 I think I was just asking questions.

00:17:02.720 What's your name?

00:17:03.480 Where are you from?

00:17:04.400 I didn't go much further with him.

00:17:05.900 But sort of the angry, the rage, and I'll say this, every single person in a tent that

00:17:14.000 we saw, and we didn't see everybody, obviously, a lot of the tents were closed, they were all

00:17:18.880 single, military-aged men.

00:17:22.760 That's just a fact.

00:17:23.980 So when you see some of the anti-immigration protesters say, this isn't immigration, this

00:17:30.700 is an invasion, you can understand why.

00:17:35.000 There have been refugees throughout the course of time.

00:17:39.280 Refugees, in my mind, the mental image I have of a refugee is a woman or a child, not particularly

00:17:45.760 a military-aged man.

00:17:47.240 A refugee, in my mind, is someone who is desperate and absolutely grateful for the hospitality they

00:17:53.040 receive, not someone who's making threats and swearing and being insulting to the local

00:17:57.540 population.

00:17:58.700 I don't know if you saw it, but as we were walking around, there were a lot of young Irish

00:18:04.440 people out jogging, including a lot of young women.

00:18:08.280 The canal, which is basically a system of locks, is beautiful.

00:18:12.600 It's peaceful here.

00:18:15.040 I see a bunch of people going by on bicycles, even right now.

00:18:20.800 And that's based on a high-trust society.

00:18:25.540 That's based on safety and feeling confident that you're not going to be attacked.

00:18:32.180 I felt a little bit unsafe there, to be honest.

00:18:35.920 And I'm a guy with our cameraman, who's also a guy.

00:18:39.820 If I was one of the young women who I've seen jogging or biking along here, I would certainly

00:18:46.640 be careful, and I certainly hope nothing happens to them.

00:18:50.800 However, we do know in recent months there have been cases of violence by migrants, and

00:18:56.640 it's one of the reasons why the anti-immigration mood is rising in this country.

00:19:01.760 I think we've seen everything there is to see here.

00:19:04.720 I don't particularly want to get into the tents and annoy anybody.

00:19:10.800 Again, that wasn't my purpose.

00:19:12.320 I think that one guy was furious for his own reasons.

00:19:17.460 But I think what we can safely say about this encampment here is it wasn't Ukrainians.

00:19:22.300 It wasn't women and children. 0.95

00:19:23.560 It was military-aged men from Pakistan or other Muslim countries who, if they talked to us,

00:19:30.060 were curt at best and threatening at worst.

00:19:34.180 Well, we're starting to march.

00:19:59.980 I had an interview cut short a little bit because I was holding things up.

00:20:06.040 Newtown Mount Kennedy is that small town I was referring to of about 2,800 people.

00:20:12.380 When the citizens tried to block it, the Gardai, which is the name of the Irish police,

00:20:18.080 came on heavy with pepper spray.

00:20:20.180 We were talking to a mom who said her daughter was brutally sprayed.

00:20:25.100 Are you from Newtown Mount Kennedy?

00:20:26.660 Yep.

00:20:26.980 What's your name?

00:20:31.120 My name is Teresa Murphy.

00:20:32.960 And Newtown Mount Kennedy, a town of about 2,800 souls?

00:20:36.820 Yes, people.

00:20:38.420 And tell me, what's the latest there?

00:20:40.600 I heard that there was quite a showdown the other day.

00:20:43.560 My daughter that's standing here to the right of me, she was in the protest.

00:20:49.160 I was always one for never wanting mobile phones in your face and everything.

00:20:59.180 But if the mobile phones hadn't been there, my daughter was in a tent.

00:21:07.640 She got sprayed pepper sprayed by the police, by the Gardai, and she was in the tent.

00:21:16.780 Somebody was trying to clean her eyes and her husband. 0.98

00:21:19.840 She had to, a good Samaritan came and took her through the back of the tent.

00:21:25.740 They kicked over the fire, the Gardai, kicked over the fire.

00:21:30.220 And her and her husband, and I'm not saying this like for a sensation.

00:21:37.220 I don't know about social media.

00:21:38.840 They had to run for their lives.

00:21:43.160 My father, when I was a little girl, told me about the black and tans.

00:21:47.720 I never thought.

00:21:49.140 What's the black and tans?

00:21:50.240 The black and tans were men that were took out of prisons in England to come to Ireland to fight the Irish. 0.89

00:21:58.480 And they were, they were bad people. 0.57

00:22:02.620 And they would go, my father's mother had a small farm.

00:22:06.900 They went to that farm and they could take the poultry.

00:22:12.700 They could take the eggs, take the milk.

00:22:15.040 They didn't have to answer to anybody.

00:22:17.140 And you're comparing that to the Gardai?

00:22:19.120 Oh, well, these ones that were in, these.

00:22:23.860 So what's the latest?

00:22:25.180 Yeah.

00:22:25.580 So what's the latest?

00:22:26.560 Do they still plan to proceed in Newtown, Mount Kennedy?

00:22:30.360 Do we still proceed?

00:22:31.680 Do the government plans for the migrants? 1.00

00:22:34.160 There is people in there now at the minute.

00:22:36.340 So despite the public reaction.

00:22:38.860 I would like to say, if I could now, and this is from a mother and grandmother.

00:22:44.960 What are the government going to do for the people who are suffering with post-traumatic stress?

00:22:53.740 It's very interesting to me to hear the chants and the slogans.

00:22:57.800 Let me tell you what I mean.

00:22:59.220 Irish Lives Matter.

00:23:00.720 That's a riff on the American Black Lives Matter.

00:23:03.680 Do you hear this chant?

00:23:05.140 Whose streets, our streets?

00:23:07.020 That's a typical labor organizing chant that's being co-opted by these people, too.

00:23:13.640 It's very interesting to me to see the classism.

00:23:17.000 We met a soldier today who said that this is about class as much as anything else.

00:23:22.960 And I believe Ireland's an interesting place.

00:23:26.240 Of course, it's a place of rebellion.

00:23:27.960 It's a place not long ago, the Troubles.

00:23:31.220 These people are used to conflagrations.

00:23:34.180 And that fighting spirit, you hear now a football chant, a soccer chant.

00:23:39.760 It's an interesting amalgam of citizens.

00:23:43.700 There is a class element here.

00:23:46.260 You have the elite Davos class, the millionaire class, the jet set class, the UN class.

00:23:52.520 And then you have the working class.

00:23:54.380 Interesting to me whose side is whom.

00:23:58.380 One more piece of the puzzle, and I talked to that one gentleman about it, is so what party

00:24:04.120 is going to do anything about this?

00:24:05.820 Back home in Canada, for a generation, there has been a uni party on the issue of immigration.

00:24:13.160 The Conservatives opened the doors just as much as the Liberals did.

00:24:18.000 You could say it's similar in other countries, like the United Kingdom.

00:24:22.340 I think that there is perhaps a populist movement in Europe that has finally come to Ireland

00:24:28.800 that's saying enough.

00:24:30.860 I want you to meet Ezra Levant from Rebel News in Canada.

00:24:33.200 What's your name?

00:24:33.800 Brian Garrigan, representing the Irish people and all good people all over the world.

00:24:38.620 This is a peaceful protest.

00:24:40.300 We're concerned citizens, concerned fathers and mothers about undocumented men coming 0.88

00:24:45.580 into our country.

00:24:46.620 Yes, Ireland has to help genuine refugees, and we do.

00:24:50.400 But we need to vet them.

00:24:52.120 We don't have us coming into our country, and we need to look after our own. 0.77

00:24:55.360 Now remember, the Irishmen all over the world, everywhere and built it.

00:24:58.580 But the thing is, we went and we slept on couches.

00:25:00.520 We got digs, we got jobs, we paid our way, we paid our own healthcare.

00:25:04.740 We got nothing for free.

00:25:05.620 But we are for genuine, genuine refugees.

00:25:09.600 This is not an anti-refugee protest.

00:25:11.720 And are you from Newtown Mount Kennedy?

00:25:15.400 Where are you from?

00:25:16.000 Dublin.

00:25:16.180 And what's going on in some of the smaller places like Newtown Mount Kennedy?

00:25:21.100 They're getting planted with people who are undocumented in such a small town. 0.99

00:25:25.540 Kulak, we believe, is going to get between 1,000 to 1,500 undocumented men.

00:25:31.140 There's enough problems in Kulak with drugs and with unemployment.

00:25:34.920 We don't need the house to hold all people who don't belong here. 1.00

00:25:38.500 There's no direct flight from here to Nigeria or from here to Pakistan.

00:25:43.180 Let me ask you two more questions.

00:25:46.680 The mainstream media denounces people here as far-right or racist.

00:25:52.900 What's your response to the mainstream media?

00:25:55.540 Just because you stand up with a flag or you say you're a concerned citizen, straight away you're far-right.

00:26:00.200 So I have nothing to say to the main media because they're never here.

00:26:03.340 They won't listen to us.

00:26:04.640 But we're here as a peaceful protest, as concerned parents.

00:26:09.980 Remember, we have people like Paul McGrath, Phil Lynn who claim Irishhood,

00:26:15.180 Muhammad Ali who claim Irishhood.

00:26:17.860 We're not anti-anyone.

00:26:19.100 We just want to look after our own people and house our own force. 0.98

00:26:21.660 That's all.

00:26:22.920 Let me ask you, do you think anything will change?

00:26:25.140 Because I'm an outsider, but it seems to me that all the parties in Ireland are for open borders immigration.

00:26:32.060 Do you think that will change?

00:26:33.340 In June of next month, there's new local elections all over Ireland, okay?

00:26:38.640 So I'm running in Dublin inner sea, vote number one, Brian Garrigan.

00:26:42.940 And we're going to make a change.

00:26:44.340 We're slowly waking the people up.

00:26:46.180 85% of people's concerns are about illegal immigration.

00:26:50.740 And remember, we have to help genuine immigrants.

00:26:53.020 Genuine.

00:26:53.360 Nice to meet you.

00:26:54.620 Thanks for your time.

00:27:07.480 I don't know what will become of this, but there's energy here and there's anger.

00:27:15.740 There's a, to use an analogy, the parade is walking.

00:27:19.100 Which politician will come in front of it to lead it now that it's already going?

00:27:25.300 We'll find out perhaps.

00:27:26.580 Thank you.

00:27:48.340 I didn't understand what was going on.

00:27:53.480 All of a sudden, the protest went silent as a mouse and everyone stopped.

00:27:57.840 The reason was, this was a place where, if I'm not mistaken, a young child was stabbed.

00:28:03.540 If it's the incident I'm thinking about, three young children.

00:28:07.040 Tell me the details.

00:28:07.960 Three young children coming out of a crash, along with their care worker, were attacked by an Algerian migrant.

00:28:15.960 That was just in the last few months, wasn't it?

00:28:17.840 In January.

00:28:19.000 And is that what led to some of the riots?

00:28:21.000 Well, sorry, it was last.

00:28:22.680 When did that happen, Gavin?

00:28:23.580 So, three kids were stabbed.

00:28:26.000 The so-called riots.

00:28:27.400 Got it.

00:28:28.260 I'm just describing them bluntly.

00:28:31.100 So, that was where it happened, which is why there was a moment of silence.

00:28:34.500 What's your name?

00:28:35.500 Maliki Steenson.

00:28:36.820 And are you from Dublin?

00:28:38.360 I am, yes.

00:28:39.100 I'm one of the key people involved.

00:28:42.240 Now, I was just asking myself the question, what comes from this?

00:28:47.320 There's plenty of Irish who are upset by this, but where's the political party that would...

00:28:52.840 Well, there are no political parties that support our position.

00:28:55.180 Well, what...

00:28:55.860 Well...

00:28:56.180 Some of them are shifting to our position.

00:28:58.880 Like, which ones?

00:29:00.600 There will be a number of independents standing in the European and local elections right across this country.

00:29:07.060 There are political parties like IFP and National Party who support us.

00:29:11.160 The mainstream political parties are totally out of touch with the ordinary people in this country.

00:29:16.340 That was shown very clearly in the two most recent referendums.

00:29:19.640 The European and local elections on the 7th of June here are a referendum on immigration.

00:29:24.320 Well, isn't that interesting?

00:29:26.200 Because you actually had a referendum recently and the ruling class got smashed.

00:29:31.340 I'm talking about the motherhood referendum and the care referendum.

00:29:34.460 And it was a rejection by the people of woke liberalism.

00:29:38.100 And it was, in fact, a referendum on immigration.

00:29:41.400 Now, I understand that the new prime minister actually comes from the county in which Newtown-Mount-Kennedy is.

00:29:48.520 Is that correct?

00:29:49.620 Yes.

00:29:50.420 And what's his view on it?

00:29:51.580 Well, he fully supports open borders.

00:29:53.540 He fully supports the destruction of our state.

00:29:56.480 He has been somebody who's been in political office for the past 12 or 13 years.

00:30:01.280 He's somebody who never had a real job in his life.

00:30:03.420 I've got one last question for you.

00:30:05.420 I think there's more Irish people around the world than there are in Ireland, including the president of the United States.

00:30:14.420 What does the Irish diaspora have an opinion on mass immigration?

00:30:21.960 I think Ireland's being transformed.

00:30:25.200 It's, to be frank, it's...

00:30:26.800 Well, all of our people who are abroad, many who are forced to go abroad, by the same parties who are still in governments because of economic necessity, fully support us.

00:30:35.740 And when they come back here on holidays, for instance, from the United States, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, they see the destruction of our country.

00:30:43.220 And they see it's not the country that they left, and it's a country in a far worse state.

00:30:47.140 Thanks for talking with me today.

00:30:48.560 I'll stay with you, too, expensive.

00:30:49.960 Oh, my goodness.

00:30:50.880 Thank you.

00:30:51.220 What's your name?

00:30:52.040 Joe.

00:30:52.500 Joe, good to meet you.

00:30:53.460 Are you from Dublin?

00:30:54.460 No.

00:30:54.920 No.

00:30:55.060 I'm from the country.

00:30:55.900 Thank you for...

00:30:56.600 Which county?

00:30:57.800 Kilkenny.

00:30:58.100 Kilkenny?

00:30:58.780 It's nice to meet you, and thank you for your support.

00:31:00.420 You see the sign that says Kulak says no.

00:31:04.200 That's the neighborhood where we were, where that old paint warehouse is being proposed for a new migrant residence. 0.99

00:31:14.420 Kulak, Newtown, Mount Kennedy, those are two of the flashpoints in the migration battle.

00:31:21.220 And they're right at the front.

00:31:22.960 This is a very interesting place.

00:31:27.680 I'm getting a vibe that I have in the UK with Tommy Robinson.

00:31:33.300 And what I mean by that is working class people who have been left out by the system.

00:31:39.980 I don't know enough about Ireland to make the comparison strongly, but the word class comes to mind.

00:31:47.880 I think that these people are not politically cool.

00:31:53.400 They're not the kind of people that the former Prime Minister Leo Varadkar would pose for in a photo.

00:32:01.660 These are people who are the bedrock of Ireland, who have been ignored in Ireland, and who are speaking out for Ireland.

00:32:09.380 Will anyone listen is the question.

00:32:11.380 Hi, what's this?

00:32:13.240 We're part of a newly formed party called the Irish People.

00:32:16.580 We're set up for independence.

00:32:18.340 My name is Andy Heisman, and I'm running in the Europeans across Dublin.

00:32:21.940 And I'm running in the locals in Dublin.

00:32:25.640 Oh, sorry, Blanchardstown and Malhuderd. 1.00

00:32:28.240 So what's the platform of your party?

00:32:32.440 The platform?

00:32:33.380 Yeah, what do you stand for?

00:32:34.340 Oh, we stand for no open borders, education not indoctrination.

00:32:39.100 We want to stand up for the farmers in Ireland.

00:32:41.440 And also my main mission in running in the Europeans is getting us out of Europe. 0.87

00:32:46.240 So it's like Brexit, but for Ireland.

00:32:48.340 Yeah, we want to invoke Article 50 just like the British did and get out of Europe. 0.67

00:32:52.380 And we want that to resound all over Europe because Europe has failed us.

00:32:55.800 Yeah, we just got in this morning.

00:32:57.480 Fantastic.

00:32:58.000 I love the work you did in Davos.

00:32:59.700 Oh, thank you so much.

00:33:00.680 Holding their feet to the fire, they don't like it very much when you point the camera at them

00:33:04.700 and ask them questions that they're not used to.

00:33:06.960 They're used to softball questions. 0.98

00:33:08.720 Yeah, or questions that are scripted.

00:33:12.560 But this is a very interesting event.

00:33:14.440 I see you're with the Irish people party.

00:33:16.080 I'm with the Irish people you just spoke to, Andy.

00:33:17.300 Right, yeah.

00:33:17.940 Are you running as a candidate too?

00:33:19.360 Yeah, running it for the locals and for the Europeans as well.

00:33:22.060 And there is a change out there.

00:33:25.260 I'm sure it's all over the world.

00:33:27.160 It's not just an Irish phenomenon.

00:33:30.700 It's happening in America.

00:33:31.780 It's happening everywhere.

00:33:33.340 Yeah, sorry, go ahead.

00:33:34.480 I was going to ask you.

00:33:35.820 I see a lot of cameras like ours.

00:33:39.280 Yeah.

00:33:39.560 Basically a cell phone on a fancy stick.

00:33:42.220 Right.

00:33:43.080 How is the independent media scene in Ireland?

00:33:47.260 Well, I think we're growing more powerful now.

00:33:49.340 And the mainstream media is losing a lot of ground because of this reason.

00:33:53.260 There's a lot of stories that people want to hear

00:33:55.600 and that they're being kind of pushed aside by the mainstream media.

00:33:59.420 For example, there was a 12-year-old boy raped by a Ukrainian in Cork just the other day.

00:34:04.500 And it's absolutely – these crimes in Ireland, we've never had these things happen.

00:34:10.700 We had babies stabbed in Dublin.

00:34:12.520 Have you heard about that as well?

00:34:13.460 Yeah, we heard.

00:34:14.280 And that's where we stopped there, right?

00:34:16.100 Yeah.

00:34:16.260 The damage in this country with cultural Marxism, the damage is unreal, right?

00:34:23.320 It's Islamic fascism is becoming very, very strong now in our society. 0.99

00:34:27.880 And the Irish people are very naive to the fact that they don't even understand it. 0.99

00:34:32.820 It's one of those things. 0.79

00:34:34.280 It's a real problem, you know?

00:34:36.640 And we really – the Irish people have to take a stand because if they don't,

00:34:42.540 by the end of this year, we're going to be in very, very serious problems.

00:34:46.760 Behind me, the counter-protesters, a line of guard-eye.

00:34:51.560 That's what they call their police.

00:34:53.820 You can see that they're quite worried about the two sides coming into contact.

00:34:59.100 There's one guard-eye officer filming things, I think, for souvenir purposes.

00:35:07.160 I think the numbers on the other side, if I had to estimate,

00:35:10.900 I'd say there's about 110 people.

00:35:15.500 Nah, more like – shy of 100.

00:35:18.760 I'd say there's about 90 people.

00:35:23.320 There's more police than counter-protesters.

00:35:29.500 Most of the signs on the other side are prefabricated signs,

00:35:34.660 as opposed to many of the homemade signs on this side.

00:35:38.460 And I'll tell you one other thing I just noticed.

00:35:43.260 On this side, hundreds of Irish flags.

00:35:47.900 On that side, I don't see a single Irish flag.

00:35:54.740 I see three Palestinian flags.

00:35:58.680 And I see a mysterious flag that I cannot identify.

00:36:02.840 But there's not a single Irish flag on the other side.

00:36:07.720 And doesn't that tell you something?

00:36:11.940 I'm going to step about a foot away from these big cops,

00:36:16.060 because I don't need to get caught in the crossfire. 1.00

00:36:19.020 They're chanting NGO scum. 0.99

00:36:31.440 That's a very interesting thing to say. 0.99

00:36:34.200 The people in this anti-migration march

00:36:37.520 think that their opponents are the United Nations,

00:36:42.600 the World Economic Forum, NGOs,

00:36:46.080 as much as any domestic political party.

00:36:49.100 And I think they're right.

00:36:51.360 Thank you very much.

00:36:53.920 Very friendly here.

00:36:55.120 Lots of Rebel News fans, even here in Ireland.

00:36:58.780 I correct myself.

00:36:59.740 I see a single Irish flag on the other side 0.51

00:37:02.300 on which is written, Black Lives Matter.

00:37:06.260 As I mentioned before,

00:37:07.760 this side has co-opted the phrase

00:37:09.560 and says, Irish Lives Matter.

00:37:12.480 I think both lives matter.

00:37:14.680 That was the crack guy. 0.85

00:37:16.820 Free tampons for men.

00:37:19.300 You must know Justin Trudeau.

00:37:21.260 I do. 1.00

00:37:22.520 I was going to join them motherfuckers over there. 1.00

00:37:25.980 But I said, I go with the fucking sane people. 1.00

00:37:27.920 And that's not saying much for me. 1.00

00:37:30.140 So, imagine these lunatics over there. 1.00

00:37:32.680 Oh, fucking hell. 1.00

00:37:33.960 How you doing? 1.00

00:37:34.680 Who's this rebel?

00:37:37.080 We're from Canada, but I couldn't help but come up to you

00:37:41.140 because I just thought, that is real life in Canada.

00:37:45.800 Probably is, is it?

00:37:47.240 They really do have that in military bases in Canada.

00:37:51.780 I give up.

00:37:52.700 This was a joke.

00:37:53.420 I give up.

00:37:54.000 That's what I am.

00:37:54.620 I give up.

00:37:57.920 There you have it.

00:37:59.740 He said he wanted to be with the protesters,

00:38:02.220 but I tell you, that's that Irish sense of humor.

00:38:05.680 Let's keep going.

00:38:07.400 Hey, let me tell you something quickly

00:38:08.820 that our videographer Ephraim mentioned to me.

00:38:12.480 He looked at the crowd over there.

00:38:14.340 He looked at the crowd over here.

00:38:15.860 He looked at the police on both sides

00:38:17.640 and he made an observation, none of them are wearing masks.

00:38:22.520 Now, our side, as in the freedom side, the conservative side,

00:38:26.120 typically doesn't wear masks.

00:38:28.300 But in Canada and in the United States,

00:38:31.900 the left side, the progressive side, certainly the pro-Hamas side,

00:38:36.320 they wear masks.

00:38:37.500 It's very interesting and refreshing to me

00:38:40.060 to be in a political culture where people own what they're saying.

00:38:45.140 I disagree with the ideas on the other side,

00:38:48.200 but I respect them insofar as they're willing to stand by their point of view. 0.93

00:38:54.220 In North America, the left is too cowardly to own it,

00:38:58.020 and they feel empowered when they're anonymous, 0.94

00:39:00.820 and they actually commit vandalism, riot, and crime when they're hidden.

00:39:05.240 I'll give them credit for that.

00:39:08.980 Well, nice to meet you, Paddy.

00:39:10.500 How are you doing?

00:39:11.520 I'm great.

00:39:12.060 Tell me what brought you out here today.

00:39:15.300 What brings people out over the world

00:39:17.720 to protest against this monstrosity that's been unleashed upon us?

00:39:21.540 You know, it's plantation, replantation.

00:39:25.960 What can I say?

00:39:27.380 It's obscene.

00:39:28.920 Well, I was thinking, I mean, I don't know that much about Ireland.

00:39:32.040 I'll be candid with you, Paddy.

00:39:33.080 But if I'm not mistaken, Ireland has never had an empire.

00:39:37.080 It's never colonized in other countries.

00:39:38.940 My point exactly.

00:39:39.900 We've only done good in the world, as far as I know,

00:39:43.500 by sending out missionaries and so forth.

00:39:45.680 Now, you can say that maybe that's not too good.

00:39:48.200 But you were not an imperial force.

00:39:50.960 You're the indigenous people of this island.

00:39:54.140 Yes, well, my family's been here about four generations,

00:39:57.300 or not four, about ten generations at least, you know.

00:40:00.520 And they're just, what you see with all these young men coming of a military age,

00:40:07.560 that is an army in waiting.

00:40:09.880 During the lockdowns, initial lockdowns, there was an Irish fellow on the WHO called Mike Ryan.

00:40:20.300 Mike Ryan told us that they would have to go into everybody's house and take,

00:40:26.060 if people were sick, take them out.

00:40:27.800 And these people are here to do just that.

00:40:31.960 Well, how's it going to end, Paddy?

00:40:34.460 The reason I ask that is I'm not very familiar with the Irish political scene,

00:40:40.320 but I understand that most of the parties representing most of the politicians

00:40:45.740 are for open borders.

00:40:48.460 That there's no party that has said we're going to rein it in,

00:40:52.820 even to moderate it.

00:40:54.920 And so if you have this political energy on the streets,

00:40:59.000 where does it go other than just to dissipate?

00:41:02.020 Well, the problem is that everybody in power in Ireland at the moment

00:41:06.020 came through the young future leaders, WHO, not WHO, WEF school.

00:41:13.320 And they were put in place strategically,

00:41:18.320 and like you have your Trudeau, or Turdow as you call him,

00:41:20.800 which I think is suitable.

00:41:22.340 Yeah, exactly.

00:41:22.840 And then they have Macron, and every place, every country in the world

00:41:27.460 has got their little New World Order or leader, let's say.

00:41:32.020 So it's very, very hard for us to fight against that,

00:41:36.240 because they're in every position of power.

00:41:37.880 And the scam, the scandemic that came out in 2020 was a precursor.

00:41:46.060 It was a Trojan horse for all this to happen.

00:41:48.480 Soon, we won't have, we'll be a 50-50 in a few years' time.

00:41:55.100 There'll be nearly more foreigners than there are Irish.

00:41:57.940 We took a break from filming because we sent the drone up.

00:42:02.160 The reason we sent the drone up is we wanted to do a count.

00:42:05.840 The reason we wanted to do a count is because we wanted to see,

00:42:09.560 did this March Against Immigration in Dublin, Ireland reflect a small niche,

00:42:14.920 as the regime media would say, the far right, or was it broader than that?

00:42:20.620 Did it show a large cross-section of Irish, severely normal people, as I say, from different backgrounds?

00:42:28.480 And as you'll see from the drone footage, which we'll post shortly, this is enormous.

00:42:32.940 I'm not an expert at counting based on an Eye in the Sky video.

00:42:37.940 It just went on for blocks and blocks and blocks.

00:42:41.360 And I've got to tell you, I've seen Irish flags everywhere I've gone.

00:42:45.160 I didn't see any Irish flags with the counter-protesters.

00:42:48.720 And you know what?

00:42:49.320 For someone who's seen a lot of flags lately,

00:42:51.620 I'm glad I haven't seen a lot of Hamas flags here.

00:42:55.280 Not one, in fact.

00:42:57.140 I think these are the best of the Irish.

00:42:59.360 And what's so fascinating and frustrating to me

00:43:05.420 is I don't think these folks have a political outlet. 0.90

00:43:08.740 I mean, I'm not an expert in Ireland.

00:43:10.180 I've just come here.

00:43:10.840 This is the first time I've ever been here.

00:43:12.280 I'm going home quickly.

00:43:13.240 I wanted to see with my own eyes.

00:43:15.340 I don't know if you can hear the energy level.

00:43:17.440 These people, they're polite, but they're mad at the same time.

00:43:23.500 Oh, I'm sorry.

00:43:25.300 I'll stop walking backwards.

00:43:26.860 It's that crowded a place.

00:43:28.120 I want to go closer.

00:43:29.700 I want to hear what they're saying.

00:43:31.280 And I'm enjoying being surrounded by so many Irish flags.

00:43:35.040 Wouldn't you be?

00:43:45.060 Well, it's almost 5 p.m.

00:43:46.820 We've been at the march for about three hours.

00:43:49.840 A huge march.

00:43:51.080 When you're in the middle of a march,

00:43:52.460 you have no idea if it's 1,000 people or 15,000.

00:43:55.900 And we took some drone footage.

00:43:57.660 I think it's definitely on the 15,000 side.

00:44:00.560 And then there were some amazing speeches on the steps of this dominant facade.

00:44:06.200 Very impressive place.

00:44:07.940 A place of political action, I think.

00:44:13.580 Now we're just hearing some politicians round out the event so people are leaving.

00:44:20.300 And I bumped into one of my favorite journalists in Ireland.

00:44:25.180 She works for Grips.ie.

00:44:27.620 You've seen her on my show.

00:44:29.920 Fatima Gunning, it's a pleasure to see you in the flat.

00:44:32.420 Thank you.

00:44:32.960 Welcome to Ireland. 0.67

00:44:34.180 It's been a very warm welcome.

00:44:35.880 I've never been to this country before.

00:44:37.880 But so many people have welcomed us.

00:44:40.520 I guess they watch Rebel News.

00:44:42.220 Not particularly because they care about Canada,

00:44:44.420 but they care about the themes we talk about.

00:44:47.260 I think immigration is hotter in Ireland than it is in Canada. 0.98

00:44:51.720 What do you think?

00:44:53.000 Well, I think, you know, if you look at the history of this nation,

00:44:55.760 it isn't so long since we kicked out a colonial power in the form of the British. 0.79

00:44:59.680 And now I think that, you know, from what I hear from people,

00:45:03.240 you know, the Irish are feeling as though they're not in control of their own,

00:45:06.440 you know, the borders certainly, but even politics more generally.

00:45:10.080 And I think that there is a huge appetite for political change in this country.

00:45:14.480 You know, I never thought of it that way,

00:45:16.540 but I talked to a few folks here who use the language of the Irish

00:45:20.600 being the indigenous people here.

00:45:22.820 That's a powerful language around the world to kick out colonizers. 0.93

00:45:27.340 But the Irish never colonized anyone.

00:45:30.040 This is their home.

00:45:32.260 And I think because the Irish are white, 1.00

00:45:36.800 when they say things like Irish lives matter or Ireland is full, 0.94

00:45:41.040 there's a progressive reflex to kick them and say you're racist.

00:45:45.080 But I don't think we would say that to any other indigenous person around the world.

00:45:48.960 We wouldn't say you're racist for wanting Italy to be Italian

00:45:52.320 or France to be French or Russia to be Russian.

00:45:55.140 Like, I think it's been marginalized.

00:45:58.740 But I think people here just want their country.

00:46:01.440 And I don't even think that there's a zero immigration feeling here.

00:46:05.160 I think people just say it's out of control.

00:46:07.100 No one was asked.

00:46:08.300 The way they're going about it is extreme.

00:46:10.560 I don't know.

00:46:10.880 Help me understand.

00:46:11.580 I've only been in Ireland for half a day.

00:46:13.980 So I don't want to pretend that I know everything.

00:46:16.620 But I'm trying to learn how...

00:46:19.880 What do you think of what I've just said about the indigenous people

00:46:23.040 and trying to maintain control of a homeland?

00:46:27.360 I think you're mostly spot on in that Irish people do have a strong sense of identity,

00:46:33.420 or at least we would have until quite recently,

00:46:36.180 where now a lot of things like Athena Swan,

00:46:38.760 all those kind of, like, American, you know, racism,

00:46:42.800 well, I suppose some people might call it race-baiting kind of stuff is coming in,

00:46:46.600 which nothing got to do with the history of Ireland.

00:46:48.780 Like, we never colonized anyone, as you said, never owned slaves,

00:46:51.520 weren't involved in that whole debacle.

00:46:54.240 And yet we're almost being treated as though we were.

00:46:58.040 And I do think that the Irish as a people are a bit of a thorn in the side of people 1.00

00:47:01.400 who would like to push that ideology,

00:47:03.160 because we can say, like, hey, we were never part of that.

00:47:05.460 Why are you kind of tearing us with the same brush?

00:47:09.140 But be that as it may, yeah, I think that people are just,

00:47:13.560 they're sick of hearing about, you know,

00:47:16.400 thousands of people coming in with no identity documents.

00:47:20.100 I'm sure you had to have a passport to get into Ireland here this morning

00:47:23.560 or whenever you came.

00:47:24.720 I have to have a passport if I want to go somewhere.

00:47:26.780 And I think that's all the Irish people are really asking for, 1.00

00:47:29.360 is to know who is coming into the country.

00:47:32.600 You know, and even if Ireland had a history of slavery,

00:47:36.760 and Ireland did have a history of slavery,

00:47:39.260 there were slave ships that came to Ireland to raid.

00:47:43.400 I learned that the town of Baltimore,

00:47:45.100 the entire town was scooped up on pirate ships and sold as slaves.

00:47:50.580 So the Irish have a history of being, of being slaves.

00:47:55.160 But even if it were true,

00:47:57.300 what does a historical action hundreds of years ago

00:48:00.880 have to do with taking migrants in 2024

00:48:04.820 from Ukraine, from the Middle East, from whatever?

00:48:08.960 Like, it just seems like it doesn't fit.

00:48:12.620 It's not an excuse.

00:48:14.640 I mean, I think, yeah, well, it's being used as an excuse

00:48:17.340 whether it has anything got to do with a nation's history or not.

00:48:21.140 And, you know, I lived in Japan and Korea myself.

00:48:24.560 Those countries are very,

00:48:25.740 they have a very strong sense of who they are.

00:48:28.060 I didn't feel that there was anything wrong with that when I was there.

00:48:30.400 And so it is quite puzzling why people get offended.

00:48:34.880 And people do get offended when Irish people hold their flag

00:48:37.820 and say that they want to be Irish and that they're proud of it.

00:48:40.500 It seems like that's almost a dirty word these days.

00:48:42.960 And I don't really understand why.

00:48:45.140 You know, I'm not Irish.

00:48:46.240 I have no connection to Ireland in any way.

00:48:49.400 But I felt a wonderful feeling of solidarity and family

00:48:53.900 just walking with so many Irish and so many Irish flags.

00:48:57.120 And I sort of missed that, even though it wasn't mine.

00:49:00.400 I admired it.

00:49:03.200 Give me your thoughts on the whole day.

00:49:04.920 You've been very generous with your time.

00:49:06.320 You've briefed us via Skype before.

00:49:09.880 You told me last week that you thought this would be a very large event.

00:49:14.240 And it did turn out to be that.

00:49:16.380 Do you think this will make a dent?

00:49:19.080 Do you think this will move the needle?

00:49:20.760 Or do you think this will just be demonized by the media like RTE?

00:49:24.800 Do you think they'll demonize it as far right?

00:49:27.680 Like, will anything change?

00:49:29.140 I'm impressed with what I saw.

00:49:30.580 But will Ireland be any different after today?

00:49:34.040 It's hard to say.

00:49:35.000 I think that's up to the people.

00:49:36.340 I mean, if the people are expressing that they want change,

00:49:39.680 and it seems that huge numbers are, it's up to them really, isn't it?

00:49:43.160 Like, I can only really speak about what I've observed reporting on this over the last two years.

00:49:47.720 But there is huge anger out there.

00:49:50.520 People are extremely angry about being called names like far right and racist when, you know, they want, you know,

00:49:57.100 as you said earlier, that you don't think it's an anti-immigration sentiment.

00:50:00.540 It isn't really an anti-immigration sentiment.

00:50:02.840 It's a we-are-bursting-at-the-seams sentiment.

00:50:05.720 It really feels that way.

00:50:08.200 Well, listen, I want to compliment you and the whole team at GRIPT, G-R-I-P-T dot I-E.

00:50:14.000 It's so refreshing.

00:50:15.500 And watching people here come up to you and express to you their gratitude tells me that you are filling a very important information void.

00:50:24.680 People trust you, and I think you're building something very important.

00:50:29.320 I've been a fan from afar, so congratulations to you and your journalism.

00:50:33.240 Thank you very much.

00:50:34.320 Right on.

00:50:34.740 There you have it, Fatima Gunning from GRIPT dot I-E. 0.99

00:50:46.300 You are an enemy of the people, and you disrespect us, and you can spin us how you will.

00:50:54.680 And lastly, can I just say something about our history?

00:50:59.780 Let me say something about remembrance, seeing as we met at the Garden of Remembrance today.

00:51:04.360 It's time to recall who we are.

00:51:08.240 To hear the call of our ancestors.

00:51:11.800 The powers that be, now we have a strong spiritual connection to them, and it frightens them.

00:51:20.760 Because our legends, poetry, and song tell time and again how we rose up against oppressors who tried to vanish us.

00:51:28.220 We simply must win, and if we don't, our children will fall just like the children on that statue of the Garden of Remembrance,

00:51:41.440 who are trapped there in stone, making their downward descent towards the ground.

00:51:46.320 I wonder now, would that statue even be here in a hundred years?

00:51:51.540 And with that, I ask you to stand up and ensure the survival of not just your children,

00:51:56.940 but also Irishness, and all that it means to be so.

00:52:00.200 Thanks for listening, and I'm an independent candidate for the Tala community.

00:52:09.400 They have protests every Monday and Thursday outside St. John's house between 6 and 8,

00:52:14.420 and the protest is actually tomorrow because of the protest today between 6 and 8 outside St. John's house.

00:52:19.740 Thanks very much for listening.

00:52:20.880 Thanks very much for listening.

00:52:21.780 I've been following politics for 35 years, and I've listened to maybe a thousand speeches.

00:52:31.920 I have to say, your speech up there today was the most authentic, passionate, powerful, and moving speech I can remember.

00:52:39.880 It was astonishing to me.

00:52:42.340 Who are you?

00:52:43.040 Who am I?

00:52:46.660 It's odd to be asked that question, because I'm a very introverted sort of a person,

00:52:52.000 but because of what's happening in our country, I've had to come out and stand up.

00:52:56.660 My name is Suzanne Delaney, and otherwise known as Suzy D online,

00:53:02.560 which makes me sound like a bad rap artist,

00:53:04.740 but the name was picked because there's a lot of targeting of you

00:53:12.420 if you have the views I do in this country, and I was trying to protect my child.

00:53:16.980 But I've decided to run for election, so I've put my name out there.

00:53:21.980 Where are you from in Ireland?

00:53:23.720 I'm from Dublin, and I run the Irish Enquiry with my partner Stephen Kerr,

00:53:31.600 and he's running for Castle Bar and Mayo.

00:53:33.720 We're running as independent candidates, because we don't want to be having to talk.

00:53:37.480 Is this for town council, or what level of politics?

00:53:39.380 So it's local council, it's only once every five years,

00:53:42.520 but our aim is to get into the Dáil, into government.

00:53:46.860 So that's what you would call your parliament.

00:53:49.480 Yeah, when I say get into government, we wouldn't be in as a party,

00:53:53.060 but we want to be in there, because that's where you can make a bit of a difference.

00:53:57.560 And I wish you good luck, I wish you all good luck, because it was so powerful.

00:54:02.140 But let's talk about what you said.

00:54:03.600 You talked about your daughter, who's obviously young,

00:54:06.860 and I think the most terrifying thing you said was that,

00:54:10.060 in a way, you don't want her to grow up, because you don't want her to go out,

00:54:12.480 because you're worried about her in the streets of Ireland.

00:54:15.280 Tell me that again, tell me more about that.

00:54:18.360 Yeah, so when I grew up, I would have been,

00:54:23.340 when I was her age, that was the 80s,

00:54:25.760 and life was different here.

00:54:28.280 And I used to play outside all day long.

00:54:31.060 And if I grazed my knees and came back in,

00:54:33.300 my mother would wipe my knees, and she'd send me back out the door. 1.00

00:54:36.340 And my daughter has never played outside alone.

00:54:39.460 Never.

00:54:40.620 And where I live, it's not, I'm not running where I live,

00:54:45.200 because where I live is gone.

00:54:48.380 There's no way.

00:54:49.040 And why doesn't she play outside? 0.99

00:54:50.580 Explain to me the missing piece of this story.

00:54:52.820 Why?

00:54:53.680 It's not safe.

00:54:54.720 Why is it not safe?

00:54:56.580 So this year, sorry, this week,

00:54:59.860 a man, a foreign national who was led into the country without checks,

00:55:05.560 tried to take a two-year-old child out of a buggy here,

00:55:08.800 just up the road.

00:55:10.640 And a 12-year-old boy in County Cork was in the toilets,

00:55:15.480 and when he was coming back out,

00:55:16.580 he was pushed back into a cubicle, and he was sexually assaulted.

00:55:20.300 So that is what we're dealing with.

00:55:22.000 And three children were stabbed.

00:55:24.720 Up the road here in Parnell Square.

00:55:27.460 I don't feel at all like my daughter is safe.

00:55:31.080 And when people ask for her to go and do things with them,

00:55:34.680 like I have a friend who wanted to take her to a show,

00:55:37.380 I say no,

00:55:38.100 because I'm so afraid that there might be a terror attack or something else.

00:55:45.440 So where I live is not safe.

00:55:47.780 And I've spoken before publicly about the fact that my daughter is the only Irish child in her class at school.

00:55:54.640 And I have nothing against these other children, but that's not normal.

00:55:59.740 My daughter is the foreign national in her own country,

00:56:02.820 and she doesn't understand what her school friends say.

00:56:08.060 What language should they speak?

00:56:09.040 So they speak various languages, Slavic languages,

00:56:15.560 you know, Pakistani, all sorts of languages.

00:56:19.260 And I've never had any, you know, they're just kids, you know.

00:56:23.080 But it is a sign of the times, and it's concerning to me.

00:56:27.760 I want my daughter to go to school and be happy.

00:56:31.160 And she, you know, they had National Book Week here where they were encouraging children to read.

00:56:35.340 And all of that week, every day, they had someone come in and read a story.

00:56:41.100 And every day, the person who came in and read the story read it in a different language and not in English.

00:56:47.280 So that is where I'm living, and that is why I'm not running in my area,

00:56:51.340 because the people there won't vote for me.

00:56:55.960 And why did this change happen to Ireland?

00:57:00.660 Well, I believe it's not just Ireland.

00:57:03.220 It's a globalist agenda.

00:57:05.960 And the evidence is there if people care to look.

00:57:09.360 It's not a conspiracy theory.

00:57:12.160 It's a criminal conspiracy.

00:57:14.900 And mass immigration is a part of that flooding Ireland. 0.91

00:57:19.360 Like, Irish people have a very, very strong sense of themselves and their identity.

00:57:24.000 And, you know, we have 800 years of oppression behind us in this country.

00:57:28.340 And I think they've come down particularly hard on this little country,

00:57:32.260 because they know we're going to fight back.

00:57:34.160 We'll take so much until we won't.

00:57:37.500 Well, let me ask you this.

00:57:38.400 I mean, I've heard some slogans today, Ireland for the Irish, Irish lives matter.

00:57:44.620 But your political class, I mean, there are some people who I guess you could call newcomers,

00:57:52.580 but they're Irish.

00:57:55.060 The people who made these decisions, are they not Irish?

00:57:57.260 They are Irish.

00:57:59.040 But the Irish Republicans.

00:58:00.700 Sorry, the IRA, excuse me.

00:58:01.940 Or the, you know, excuse me, Sinn Féin.

00:58:03.760 I'm sorry, I'm from Canada.

00:58:04.760 I don't know all these distinctions.

00:58:06.540 But these people who, in my shallow knowledge of Ireland, are passionate Irish.

00:58:12.380 You could call them even Irish chauvinists, Irish nationalists.

00:58:15.820 Whatever phrase you want to use, I mean, being Irish is the center of their identity.

00:58:23.220 The 800 years you talk about, it's about being Irish.

00:58:27.060 So how can people who fought to be Irish, who had a rebellion about being Irish,

00:58:32.560 though I don't understand the troubles, but that was about Irishness.

00:58:36.520 How can people who cared so much about being Irish, then give it away?

00:58:40.500 Because, sure, I agree with you that there are globalist forces, we're familiar with those.

00:58:46.280 But at the end of the day, it was Irish politicians who allowed it.

00:58:50.440 Am I wrong?

00:58:51.840 You're not wrong.

00:58:53.280 They're what we call a quiddling government.

00:58:55.440 They're under the control of these people in the EU and beyond.

00:59:00.580 The UN is another one.

00:59:02.900 And I think what happens is these people are, we say, selected, not elected.

00:59:09.900 We believe that our votes have been rigged here.

00:59:15.160 Or that people have gotten in, you know, on the 10th or the 11th count of a vote.

00:59:18.840 So they haven't been fairly elected.

00:59:20.400 And they're, in my opinion, people who would never get to the top if it wasn't for the fact that they're doing what they're told to do.

00:59:27.600 They're just self-serving people.

00:59:29.020 I have a slightly different theory.

00:59:31.820 I don't know about vote rigging in Ireland.

00:59:33.920 I just don't know anything about that.

00:59:35.400 I don't know about your voting systems.

00:59:36.840 It sounds like there's a multiple transferable ballot the way you described it.

00:59:40.780 But my theory, and you tell me if I'm wrong, is that so far there's no party willing to embrace this issue.

00:59:50.200 And so even if people wanted to vote against this, they don't have an option.

00:59:57.300 All the parties that have a likelihood of election are unified in terms of open borders.

01:00:04.300 That's my theory.

01:00:04.980 So I wouldn't, again, I don't know about the vote rigging here.

01:00:09.040 I just don't know.

01:00:10.100 But you don't need vote rigging if every party on the ballot has the same view on immigration.

01:00:14.940 Yeah, it's a uni-party system here.

01:00:17.020 There's the appearance of opposition.

01:00:19.140 But even over the last few months, that appearance has slipped away.

01:00:23.000 You asked me about Sinn Féin, and that would have been the alternative party for people to vote for.

01:00:28.300 But people have lost their faith in Sinn Féin.

01:00:30.720 And they're not the Republicans that they have built their reputation on.

01:00:35.980 And they're completely for open borders.

01:00:40.680 So there isn't really, you're right, there isn't really another party to vote for.

01:00:44.160 But there's new parties springing up.

01:00:46.280 And lots of independent candidates.

01:00:49.220 And I think if people, actually, people are disillusioned.

01:00:52.860 So a lot of people aren't even registered to vote, particularly in working class areas.

01:00:56.320 But the people in the working class areas need to get out and vote.

01:00:58.400 They really do.

01:00:59.380 Because they're not putting these unvetted, undocumented migrants into the affluent communities. 0.99

01:01:06.700 They're putting them into my community.

01:01:09.600 They say they care about migrants.

01:01:11.220 But why don't they take them in?

01:01:14.840 Two more questions.

01:01:15.860 Today's march was very large.

01:01:19.680 Lisa, I was surprised.

01:01:22.400 And I would say it was a working class crowd.

01:01:26.420 But there were people here from all walks of life.

01:01:30.140 I thought, I mean, there's that Irish proclivity to use colorful language.

01:01:35.760 But I would call the crowd very well behaved.

01:01:41.220 What will come of this large march?

01:01:44.560 Do you think anything will change because of it?

01:01:46.500 I mean, you know, it's great to see people out.

01:01:51.340 But we do need, it was a huge march.

01:01:53.920 And when RTE reports it on the news, they'll say there was 200 people here.

01:01:58.280 That's your state broadcaster.

01:01:59.560 Yeah.

01:02:00.020 And they will try to get their headlines.

01:02:01.560 The last time there was a march, there was absolutely no trouble.

01:02:04.240 But a few protesters went off home.

01:02:06.020 And they were entrapped by the Gardaí or the police in order that they trapped them in a corner of the street and asked them to leave.

01:02:14.540 But they couldn't leave.

01:02:15.580 So they arrested them for that.

01:02:17.780 I saw no misbehavior.

01:02:19.200 And, I mean, I've been looking for three hours.

01:02:21.000 I haven't seen a single thing.

01:02:22.220 You'll see the misbehavior from the radical leftists that were around the corner.

01:02:27.080 A small number of them.

01:02:28.740 But, you know, they were surrounded by police.

01:02:31.840 I don't know if you noticed that.

01:02:32.800 But that's not because of us.

01:02:34.420 That's because of them.

01:02:36.020 They are.

01:02:36.520 We've had someone drive through a crowd here and hit people in a car.

01:02:42.140 And he was a radical leftist.

01:02:44.040 And nothing ever happens to them, you know.

01:02:45.840 But we get called out for it.

01:02:47.400 We've been remarkably peaceful.

01:02:50.300 Last question.

01:02:51.160 You've mentioned RTE.

01:02:54.520 And I know the mainstream media or the regime media here is very, it's a clique.

01:03:00.000 And they share the same views.

01:03:01.340 That said, I probably saw 20 people live streaming or filming today.

01:03:09.080 And I don't mean just holding their cell phone up.

01:03:11.800 I mean, having like a bit of a rig, like a, like a, more than just a selfie stick.

01:03:17.340 Like they look like serious live streamers.

01:03:19.920 And I thought to myself, it looks like there's a bit of an independent citizen journalist movement in Ireland.

01:03:28.860 I respect gripped.ie.

01:03:31.460 They actually have some credentials and accreditation.

01:03:35.220 But I'm talking about there must be, there must have been at least 10, I would call them, serious live streamers here.

01:03:42.220 What is the independent citizen journalist scene like here in Ireland?

01:03:46.980 Oh, it's really after growing over the past couple of years.

01:03:51.420 Like are you, I think you told me that you're in journalism as well.

01:03:54.780 Yes.

01:03:55.200 So I'm with my partner, Stephen Kerr.

01:03:57.860 And we have the platform, the Irish Inquiry, which would be quite well known here.

01:04:03.940 And there's lots of really good independent journalists like Philip Dwyer and other people like that.

01:04:09.880 It's really a growing movement, I have to say.

01:04:12.900 The mainstream media would have been here today.

01:04:15.320 But they'll hide and then they will try to report something negative.

01:04:20.100 Well, I want to say your speech today was amazing.

01:04:22.440 And we're going to put some excerpts of it up.

01:04:24.360 And I wish you good luck.

01:04:25.300 And I wish that your daughter remains safe.

01:04:28.120 And I wish that Ireland remains free.

01:04:30.220 Thank you very much for your time.

01:04:31.900 Thank you.

01:04:32.160 Pleasure to meet you.

01:04:33.600 There you have it.

01:04:47.480 I was going to say,

01:04:49.120 do you hear me now?

01:04:50.500 I want to be in the suite of the ruling election.

01:04:53.320 I am coming to the street.

01:04:55.500 Right?

01:04:56.220 And that's what it's for.

01:04:57.940 Because it's gone to the north.

01:04:59.800 With the people in the north.

01:05:01.400 That one of the needs,

01:05:02.220 rescue for the medical parent.

01:05:04.340 Forgive them to a fighter for free.

01:05:08.840 You're the ones who took it.

01:05:10.680 To make men feel every week.

01:05:12.900 And all you say is that it's a hell of a crisis.

01:05:16.020 It's an immigration crisis! 1.00

01:05:17.820 When you fix immigration, you fix toilet. 1.00

01:05:24.280 We have our own problems here.

01:05:26.600 We don't need to impart the torn walls.

01:05:31.200 That brings me to the next team.

01:05:33.720 This is those from the top down.

01:05:35.840 And I'm not going to play the card of them.

01:05:37.760 Because we're all a school bag in this country.

01:05:40.120 And it needs to resign.

01:05:41.540 It's so smart and old.

01:05:43.000 Yeah!

01:06:03.240 Thank you.
