Rebel News Podcast - EZRA LEVANT ｜ Ezra's Final Thoughts on the Chaos in Dublin

00:00:00.160 Hello, my friends. Oh, what a day it was in Dublin between the pepper spray and being assaulted.

00:00:07.000 I had quite a time, but of course the main reason for going there was the crisis underneath it,

00:00:11.620 the horrific crime of the rape of a 10-year-old girl.

00:00:14.420 But it all blends together in a general resistance towards mass immigration, and that is our show today.

00:00:22.720 This is a show for which you simply must have the video version.

00:00:28.740 If you don't have the video version, frankly, I don't know if you're going to get a lot out of it,

00:00:32.680 because so much of it is visual, watching a protest turn violent, watching protesters fire fireworks at police,

00:00:41.520 watching police fight back with pepper spray and riot shields.

00:00:47.080 It's an astonishing thing, a sight I've never seen before, and I want you to see them.

00:00:52.200 I paid the price to get you this video. I was pepper sprayed in the eye and the ear myself.

00:01:02.360 Click subscribe. Eight bucks a month. It may not be a lot of money to you, but boy, I tell you, that sure adds up for us,

00:01:09.500 and we need the money to stay independent from government. That's how we can do this kind of journalism.

00:01:13.360 Back in Canada after a momentous day in Dublin. Holy smokes, that was madness.

00:01:23.920 It's October 22nd, and this is The Ezra LeVant Show.

00:01:26.320 You're fighting for freedom. Shame on you, you censorious bug.

00:01:41.740 Oh, hi, everybody. It's great to be back in Canada. I love my trips to Ireland, though. 0.85

00:01:45.680 So, but last night, whew, I have to say, was one of the most unusual days in my entire career as a journalist,

00:01:52.480 and I've been to some exotic places. Dublin isn't particularly exotic, but it is the front line in an enormous battle over mass immigration.

00:02:00.460 We have that issue in Canada, too, but somehow it feels more acute in Ireland, which is a small country, small in many ways.

00:02:07.720 It's only got about five million souls. You can drive across the country in a day.

00:02:11.900 It's not like the vast expanses we have here in Canada, and it's ethnically homogeneous, at least outside of Dublin.

00:02:18.860 And so mass immigration has come as a shock. It also is a moral shock. 0.66

00:02:24.200 It's not just changing Ireland as we know it. Irish are saying, why?

00:02:29.180 Why has our tiny place become the world's refugee camp?

00:02:33.380 Why are people coming here so obviously false refugee claimants? 1.00

00:02:38.180 Like I say, some of them walk across the border from Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom,

00:02:42.620 or come from some other intermediary country.

00:02:45.580 That means they're not a refugee. 0.97

00:02:47.360 If you're in the United Kingdom already, if you're in France already, you're not in danger anymore.

00:02:52.160 You can't just shop around for who's got the best goodies.

00:02:55.000 And as I saw when I was in Dublin yesterday, oh my God, who on earth wouldn't want to live in that gorgeous urban refugee camp?

00:03:05.800 But they're not refugees. I shouldn't even use that term because that implies they really are fearing for their lives back in Northern Ireland or France.

00:03:13.400 It's a luxury hotel. Not just a hotel. It's like the size of a campus.

00:03:17.900 It's got tree-lined lanes. It's got, I think it had a golf course in it.

00:03:22.420 And I have to check my videos. Absolutely gorgeous.

00:03:26.920 The kind of place that you save up all year and you take the family for, you know, spring break or something.

00:03:33.140 That's where these migrants are. 1.00

00:03:35.540 Luxury accommodations, luxury meals three times a day, spending money, cell phones.

00:03:41.780 Who wouldn't lie and cheat to get from some third world basket case country to the heart of Ireland? 0.98

00:03:50.520 I mean, I don't know how much goodwill any one country can have.

00:03:56.680 But the thing is, goodwill ought to be put towards people of goodwill, not cheaters and bogus refugees. 0.99

00:04:03.440 Anyways, it was extraordinary to go there yesterday.

00:04:07.180 I saw the news that one former resident of this City West migrant camp with 2,000 people in it was accused of raping a 10-year-old girl.

00:04:19.400 And it became crazier. The more facts became known.

00:04:22.260 She was part of TUSLA, which is the Irish Child and Family Services Agency.

00:04:27.120 So she was a ward of the state. She was in the care of the government.

00:04:31.020 And somehow this 10-year-old, how did it happen that she was trafficked to this migrant center?

00:04:39.000 We went there physically and it was actually, it's not part of the heart of Dublin.

00:04:44.060 So who trafficked her? Who took her there?

00:04:47.060 It was super gross that this government agency put out some sort of press statement saying that this girl was sort of a bad girl.

00:04:53.420 You're not a bad girl when you're 10. If you have some challenges, well, that's what TUSLA is about.

00:04:57.700 I suppose everyone in care is a bad girl if you look at it this way.

00:05:01.060 That was an astonishing defamation of the victim of rape.

00:05:05.360 Have you ever heard of such a thing before?

00:05:06.720 But put aside the grotesque conduct of the Child Welfare Agency, of course, the worst conduct is the rapist himself,

00:05:15.180 who was only in Ireland because he refused to heed a deportation order months ago.

00:05:20.860 And the government didn't enforce it.

00:05:22.520 The government just sort of thought that someone would leave the country on their own and stop getting all these goodies for free. 1.00

00:05:29.880 They're so foolish. 0.93

00:05:30.900 Anyways, I knew immediately that this would be the front line in a major battle, not just a physical battle, but a political battle. 0.99

00:05:38.060 When I landed in Dublin, I checked the newspaper stand at the airport.

00:05:42.220 And only one newspaper out of all the Irish newspapers had this rape story in it.

00:05:47.820 And I thought, that's telling.

00:05:49.360 Now, last night, there was a massive protest.

00:05:52.000 It started out with dozens. It quickly became to hundreds.

00:05:54.360 And I think by the time the night was at its apex, there were thousands, even the state broadcaster,

00:06:00.900 said thousands. Normally, they downplay the number of protesters against immigration.

00:06:08.140 For the first...

00:06:10.100 Oh, we got there very early.

00:06:11.100 We got there around 5.30.

00:06:12.700 The protest was supposed to start at 7.30.

00:06:14.860 So the first two hours, there really wasn't much to see.

00:06:17.620 There were some very early people showing up there.

00:06:21.500 And I chatted with some police officers.

00:06:23.220 But things got going extremely quickly once a critical mass was there.

00:06:28.100 And you could tell that there were some...

00:06:29.540 I'm going to call them seasoned protesters.

00:06:32.580 And they protest differently in Ireland.

00:06:34.620 They protest and there's a use of force on both sides.

00:06:39.140 You know, I was at an Irish protest about a year ago.

00:06:42.380 And I heard a politician talk about, it's not the time for violence yet.

00:06:49.460 And I was shocked to hear that.

00:06:50.980 But you remember, Ireland is a country that fought, that had a violent rebellion to leave

00:06:57.020 the British Empire.

00:06:58.120 It used to be called the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.

00:07:03.120 And the whole of the island of Ireland was part of the UK.

00:07:06.500 No, through an armed rebellion, they broke free.

00:07:11.300 And the Troubles, as it was called, continued on until just a couple of decades ago.

00:07:16.480 So the idea of using force to solve a political problem is not alien to Irish politics.

00:07:23.260 Here in Canada, we would find it shocking.

00:07:25.360 That is just a generation ago, the Troubles, as it was called, and just a century ago, the

00:07:30.140 rebellion.

00:07:30.500 And so the protesters, not all of them, I'd say maybe 10 out of 2,000, started hurling

00:07:39.660 projectiles at the police, bringing fireworks and shooting them.

00:07:44.440 Things that I suppose would be dangerous, but these police were head to toe in their riot

00:07:48.200 gear.

00:07:48.800 I think it was more for the sound and fury of it.

00:07:51.340 The protesters had three ponies that galloped through at one point.

00:07:55.060 But then the police locked in with their batons and their pepper spray.

00:07:59.320 I myself got a face for.

00:08:01.300 Some people asked me if I thought that I was targeted because I was a reporter.

00:08:05.480 It could be.

00:08:06.500 Of course, I didn't have a wide shot of where I was, but it could be the police targeted

00:08:11.780 me because they saw me and my cameraman, Lincoln Jay.

00:08:14.780 But I don't think so.

00:08:16.440 I think we were just close to the police line and they were pepper spraying everyone.

00:08:19.940 Pepper spray, I've never had it before.

00:08:21.500 It's what you think it would feel like.

00:08:23.700 Imagine pouring drops of Tabasco sauce right in your eyeball.

00:08:27.980 Oh, it hurts.

00:08:29.660 And the pain is one thing.

00:08:31.140 You can bear the pain, but it makes you blind.

00:08:34.040 You cannot see and you don't want to open your eye any wider because more pepper spray

00:08:38.840 will get in it.

00:08:39.780 So when I was pepper sprayed, a big dose went in my eye and my ear.

00:08:43.900 And that hurt surprisingly too.

00:08:46.120 Imagine if someone poured Tabasco sauce in your ears.

00:08:48.680 So the effect of that was I had to put my hand on the shoulder of my colleague, Lincoln

00:08:53.140 Jay, to sort of walk me around until I was able to pour water on it and actually took

00:08:57.400 off my hoodie, turned it inside out and used the clean inside of my, like the outside of

00:09:03.300 my hoodie obviously had pepper spray on it.

00:09:04.740 I had to find something to wipe my face with.

00:09:08.080 And it was sort of dramatic.

00:09:08.980 Like we were certainly at the center of the action, but then another funny thing happened.

00:09:13.960 I was standing near the end and I was jumped.

00:09:16.940 Someone with a mask jumped me and hit me and I went down and I got up and they had run away.

00:09:21.300 I have no idea who it was.

00:09:22.760 I see online that that littler Hitler that I may have, that I had an interaction with last 1.00

00:09:28.140 year.

00:09:28.580 He was at first sort of coyly saying, oh, I know who it was.

00:09:32.620 Remember littler Hitler? 0.88

00:09:33.620 His name is Justin Barrett.

00:09:34.560 He's, he's this Nazi guy in Ireland who I bumped into and we went back and forth a bit

00:09:40.660 on Nazis and Jews.

00:09:41.740 Remember this?

00:09:42.740 What did, uh, what did the cops say?

00:09:44.300 I don't talk to the Jews.

00:09:45.600 You don't talk to the Jews?

00:09:46.780 Yeah.

00:09:47.360 Well, most of our viewers are non-Jewish. 0.59

00:09:49.620 Well, you are.

00:09:50.740 So I don't talk to Jews.

00:09:52.200 Okay.

00:09:52.460 Well, talk through me to my Christian viewers.

00:09:54.300 No, I'm not talking to Jews. 1.00

00:09:56.620 Well, you're a disgrace. 1.00

00:09:57.660 Nothing wrong with National Socialism. 0.99

00:09:59.540 Oh my God.

00:10:00.220 National Socialism knew how to deal with people like you.

00:10:02.800 Yeah, I haven't given a minute's thought to that again, but I think he's been stewing

00:10:06.700 over our interaction for a year because last night after, I mean, I was hit from behind

00:10:11.160 in a cowardly way.

00:10:12.380 I didn't see it coming.

00:10:13.620 No, no one came up to me and say, Hey, you Levant, I got a bone to pick with you. 1.00

00:10:17.180 Like it was just someone cowardly jumped me from behind.

00:10:20.120 I mean, I'm a 53 year old overweight man, not particularly known for my fitness or my fighting

00:10:25.800 skills. 1.00

00:10:26.460 Imagine being so cowardly that you wouldn't face me, that you would sort of sneak attack me, sucker 1.00

00:10:31.440 punch me from behind. 0.99

00:10:32.260 And so I fell down hard and I got up pretty quick and dusted myself off.

00:10:36.080 And as you can see, I'm okay.

00:10:37.060 I have a little bit of tenderness over here, but I'm not particularly hard done by, but

00:10:42.060 it was shocking.

00:10:43.300 And online, this little Nazi was sort of taking a bit of credit for it. 0.75

00:10:46.880 And I don't know, it's like I say, we don't have violence in our political system in Canada

00:10:52.040 other than Antifa.

00:10:54.220 In Ireland, they've got both Antifa on the left.

00:10:56.960 Those are the international socialists.

00:10:59.400 And I've got this, they've got this national socialist on the right.

00:11:03.140 It's pretty weird.

00:11:04.020 But I don't want that to detract from the heart of the story.

00:11:07.420 I mean, it was an, it was an interesting moment in my day, but it was a very brief moment.

00:11:12.540 And it was not the center of the day.

00:11:14.940 The center of the day was the 10-year-old girl who was violently raped by a 26-year-old

00:11:19.920 man who, when he was in court yesterday morning, needed an Arabic translator.

00:11:26.480 Now, the government will not publish the name of this accused rapist, but the fact that we

00:11:32.380 know he was a refugee claimant from Africa who needed an Arabic translator, I think that

00:11:36.740 tells us a fair bit about him right there.

00:11:38.660 The fact that his refugee application was dismissed and was still in the country tells you more 1.00

00:11:42.860 about him. 1.00

00:11:43.600 He's a liar and a criminal, and now perhaps a rapist. 1.00

00:11:47.340 We'll see what the courts say. 1.00

00:11:50.180 To me, that's the center of the day.

00:11:52.140 And that should have been the focus rather than some little Nazi trying to get vengeance 0.55

00:11:56.800 on me.

00:11:57.580 But I'm certainly not going to let that deter me from visiting Ireland again.

00:12:01.360 Other than that one incident, I felt an enormous warmth and welcome in Ireland.

00:12:07.080 And the reason is obvious, and the reason is simple.

00:12:11.040 Because the regime media is even more pronounced and more biased in Ireland than it is here

00:12:16.620 in Canada.

00:12:17.240 And you may find that hard to believe, but I tell you it's true.

00:12:19.820 I said when I landed at the airport in Dublin, only one newspaper of all the newspapers put

00:12:24.260 the rape of the girl on the front page or covered it at all.

00:12:27.300 Today, after last night's protest, which turned violent, every single newspaper had the violence

00:12:34.660 on the front page because they care more about branding any objection to mass immigration

00:12:41.080 as violence and thuggish and racist. 0.56

00:12:45.060 That served the narrative of the newspapers today, every single one of them.

00:12:49.260 But the violation of a 10-year-old girl, yeah, they didn't care about that.

00:12:53.760 Wrong perpetrator, you see.

00:12:55.200 That's why Rebel News was there.

00:12:58.420 You know, when I filmed a little scene setter video at the Toronto Pearson Airport, like

00:13:02.780 it was just quick retelling of the facts of the story.

00:13:05.220 We put that online.

00:13:06.720 Half a million people watched that on YouTube alone.

00:13:09.880 Astonishing numbers.

00:13:11.040 In fact, people at the protest said they only heard about the protest from my video.

00:13:14.620 This is people in Dublin.

00:13:16.300 And last night at midnight, I did a video sort of summing things up.

00:13:19.520 I'll play it for you tonight.

00:13:20.360 And today at the airport, I flew in, I flew home this morning, and I said in my video last

00:13:27.380 night at midnight, while I'm going home on the first plane to Toronto, someone at the

00:13:31.200 airport who works maintenance saw that video and came up to greet me.

00:13:35.740 It was really fun as I was flying back to Canada.

00:13:39.420 I mean, there were people, the taxi drivers said, oh, I saw your video.

00:13:42.780 Like it was, it's amazing how widely viewed Rebel News is in Ireland.

00:13:48.820 And it's simply because we tell the other side of the story.

00:13:52.160 You know me.

00:13:53.020 I like to learn.

00:13:54.180 I like to know things.

00:13:56.060 But I'm an amateur when it comes to Ireland.

00:13:58.080 I had never set foot in the country until about a year and a half ago.

00:14:00.960 I've been there six times now.

00:14:02.520 Every time I try a little bit, learn a little bit more, there's certain subjects I just,

00:14:06.340 too complex for me, and I'm not going to put the time in to master them.

00:14:10.080 There are ethnic and sectarian differences and political differences, but that's not of interest

00:14:14.820 to me.

00:14:15.180 Well, I'm going there to focus on one thing, which is their public and grassroots authentic

00:14:21.500 resistance to the political cartel, which forces mass immigration on them.

00:14:26.880 And they're so grateful for that.

00:14:29.280 They watch it in by the millions.

00:14:32.100 So it really feels like we are filling an unmet need.

00:14:36.520 There are some other citizen journalists in Ireland, but very few.

00:14:41.120 One of them, Philip Dwyer, who we've interviewed before, today the police just seized his camera

00:14:45.480 gear, just took it.

00:14:46.720 They said, oh, you have evidence of a crime.

00:14:48.880 They use that.

00:14:49.480 Can you imagine taking away the camera gear of a journalist on the eve of a protest and

00:14:54.140 saying, oh, we think you have an evidence in there?

00:14:55.980 Where's your search warrant, guys?

00:14:57.860 So citizen journalism in Ireland today is where citizen journalism in the UK was five years

00:15:05.260 ago.

00:15:05.420 Remember, I used to cover Tommy Robinson's cases in London, and I would be the only journalist

00:15:09.560 there and I would go outside the court and I'd be the only guy yapping in his cell phone.

00:15:13.820 Now there's like 20 citizen journalists in the UK, and I think it's making a huge difference.

00:15:18.680 Ireland is not that far progressed in terms of alternative media.

00:15:22.420 So believe it or not, it falls to Rebel News in Canada to fill the gap, however unlikely that

00:15:27.420 may be.

00:15:27.840 I mean, I love the Irish people, of course, I love the language, I love the art.

00:15:32.220 I mean, when you stop and think about how many musicians and singers and bands are from

00:15:37.540 Ireland, you say, holy smokes, that is an artistic people, and maybe it comes from the pain and

00:15:42.680 the history and the stories.

00:15:44.260 I mean, Sinead O'Connor, a very troubled artist, you know, the singer, she would talk about the

00:15:50.540 famine, and I think that has shaped the mindset of the people there.

00:15:54.600 Their history is unique, and I don't know, my heart goes out to them.

00:16:01.480 There's only 5 million Irish in Ireland.

00:16:03.800 They say there's 30 million Irish descendants in America and a proportionate 3 million in

00:16:08.840 Canada, and I believe it.

00:16:09.940 We all know Irish Canadians and Irish Americans, but Boston is not home for the Irish.

00:16:14.900 Montreal is not home.

00:16:16.160 I mean, I'm sure it's home for the Irish Americans and Irish Canadians, but there is

00:16:19.840 only one Ireland, and it's a small place.

00:16:22.500 And the fact that it is being turned into the world's refugee camp is something that 0.98

00:16:26.000 baffles me.

00:16:27.000 It would baffle me even if there was no violence involved, but I tell you that there is an

00:16:30.400 enormous streak of violence.

00:16:32.220 We're all talking about a 10-year-old girl who was just raped, but just the other day,

00:16:36.020 there was a young Somali and a young Ukrainian in a youth refugee center, and the Somali chopped 1.00

00:16:42.600 to bits the Ukrainian. 0.97

00:16:44.180 And I read in the paper today it was because he was cooking bacon or something.

00:16:48.060 Like, just insane medieval-style, third-world-style violence brought into the heart of Ireland.

00:16:55.960 It makes no sense.

00:16:58.920 You know, there is another independent journalist outfit in Ireland.

00:17:02.540 It's called Gripped, and you know we've interviewed Ben Scallon and Fatima Gunning from there before.

00:17:07.760 They're outstanding, and they were there last night too.

00:17:09.620 And Ben Scallon had a very pithy and poignant tweet today.

00:17:14.700 He said, why would you need to engage in violence when you can simply go to the polls and vote

00:17:21.200 these problems away with a candidate that supports you?

00:17:24.580 And I'm not reading verbatim.

00:17:26.200 I'm going from memory.

00:17:27.100 And he's referring to the fact that actually the presidential vote, which is coming up in

00:17:31.600 Ireland, was completely rigged.

00:17:33.380 And I'm not saying that as an accusation or as a, you know, hyperbole.

00:17:37.360 Actually, it's a complex system of rules that the existing parties said we're not going

00:17:42.140 to allow outsiders like Conor McGregor or even more moderate conservatives to run.

00:17:47.460 So they really rigged the rules so only political insiders could be nominated.

00:17:53.340 It's not an open ballot or an open primary.

00:17:56.140 You have to have the endorsement of a certain number of councillors or certain numbers of

00:18:00.700 MPs.

00:18:01.340 It's like it's really a clubby gatekeeping exercise.

00:18:05.360 And as Ben points out, it's a club, but you're not in it.

00:18:10.400 And that's what's heartbreaking.

00:18:12.040 You know me.

00:18:12.580 I travel to other places.

00:18:13.800 I've been in the UK and there's Nigel Farage fighting for re-migration.

00:18:17.940 Donald Trump is showing how it's done.

00:18:20.000 Other governments like Viktor Orban are saying, we're not going to get into that mess in the

00:18:23.720 first place in Hungary.

00:18:25.100 There's different political parties across the West.

00:18:27.960 There's Vox in Spain.

00:18:30.180 There's Marine Le Pen in France. 0.99

00:18:32.760 But there is no analogous anti-immigration party of any size or with any representation

00:18:40.080 in the Irish Parliament.

00:18:43.100 Anyways, these are all the thoughts on my mind.

00:18:45.060 But I'm back in Toronto now.

00:18:46.360 And I want to give a big thanks to my cameraman, Lincoln Jay, who wasn't just a great videographer.

00:18:51.540 He actually helped me when I was pepper sprayed.

00:18:53.240 I hung on to his shoulder and he sort of walked me away as I was blind.

00:18:56.840 And it was quite an exciting night.

00:18:59.020 And he came on short notice.

00:19:00.500 So I'm grateful to him.

00:19:01.400 So without further ado, let me play for you Lincoln Jay's edit of last night.

00:19:08.000 We showed you some stuff that we had tweeted and whatnot in the moment.

00:19:11.060 It was kind of rushed.

00:19:12.800 But this is what Lincoln's been working on all day here.

00:19:16.120 Take a look at the Battle of City West.

00:19:18.640 We're still almost 90 minutes away from when the protest against this massive urban refugee 1.00

00:19:24.400 camp gets underway.

00:19:25.740 But already you can see the police have set up cones and the police are called the Garda

00:19:30.580 here in Ireland.

00:19:32.560 Any car that's signaling to come into the refugee camp, they're grilling them, asking them questions,

00:19:39.100 turning them away.

00:19:40.020 They put some barriers up down there.

00:19:42.280 They shooed us out of the way.

00:19:44.040 I'm just asking where to go, boss.

00:19:54.780 I just thought I'd ask you where journalists should go to cover the protest.

00:19:58.660 You're on private property here.

00:20:00.320 You're on private property.

00:20:01.280 I'm leaving you.

00:20:02.280 What are you so agitated about?

00:20:04.400 Because you're on private property after you go there.

00:20:05.680 You don't need to be agitated about it.

00:20:07.180 What if I'm seeking asylum?

00:20:08.540 You don't know I'm not seeking asylum.

00:20:10.380 Well, you need to go to Burkey in the city if you're seeking asylum.

00:20:12.720 What's that?

00:20:13.100 Burkey in the city.

00:20:14.480 All right, I'm going to seek asylum.

00:20:15.980 It's lovely here.

00:20:17.380 I want to seek asylum. 0.69

00:20:20.680 Get three square meals a day and a luxury accommodation.

00:20:25.380 I might seek asylum.

00:20:25.920 I'll be back as a resident before you know it.

00:20:28.840 It's not a large police force right here.

00:20:31.200 It's a sort of a light touch out here.

00:20:32.780 But there's plenty more police and police fans in the compound, the campus, this massive, sprawling quarter billion dollar pleasure palace for 2,000 migrants while Irish go homeless.

00:20:46.200 It's interesting that they're inspecting every car going in, but not inspecting every car going out.

00:20:52.160 And one of the people who came and gone from this place was a 26-year-old migrant from North Africa, speaks Arabic, who allegedly raped a 10-year-old Irish girl.

00:21:03.060 If only the police would check the people coming in to Ireland as carefully as they're checking the Irish going in to this refugee camp. 0.99

00:21:13.220 If you're guarding the migrants from the Irish, who's guarding the Irish from the migrants? 0.96

00:21:24.440 In the UK, where I've been to some migrant hotels, there's a lot of police, but always to protect the foreign asylum seekers from the indigenous British. 1.00

00:21:34.980 Same thing here.

00:21:36.140 These police are not protecting the Irish from these interlopers. 0.74

00:21:40.000 If only they would. 1.00

00:21:41.120 Maybe that girl would not have been raped yesterday. 1.00

00:21:44.500 They're here to protect this four-star luxury.

00:21:48.480 It's not even a hotel.

00:21:49.500 It's a campus.

00:21:50.640 It's parks and fields and buildings and restaurants.

00:21:54.860 You know, the number one thing it reminds me of is a small elite university.

00:21:58.420 When I see elite, it is gorgeous.

00:21:59.900 It has been bought by the government of Ireland for a quarter of a billion dollars Canadian, 158 million euros,

00:22:08.040 and turned into a luxury housing facility, housing and food and recreation for foreign migrants who come to Ireland.

00:22:17.200 Now, here's the thing.

00:22:18.460 There are no refugees who come to Ireland because the rule about refugees is you have to seek asylum in the first country you get to, the first safe country you get to.

00:22:30.080 There's no one who is flying to Ireland from Somalia, from Syria, from Pakistan.

00:22:37.480 They've all come through a second or third or fourth country, the UK or France or something like that.

00:22:44.000 So ab initio, from the beginning, every single person in here is an immigration fraud.

00:22:50.840 In fact, 80% of them lose their documents on their way over.

00:22:54.740 They're fraudulent, and yet they're allowed to be housed at taxpayers' expense for years. 0.77

00:23:01.100 The accused rapist, a 26-year-old man from North Africa who is alleged to have raped a 10-year-old girl yesterday,

00:23:09.780 he had six years in this country before his asylum claim was finally ruled on, and it was rejected.

00:23:17.240 And still, they didn't deport him.

00:23:18.680 He had a deportation order, but he didn't leave.

00:23:20.760 I actually feel a little bit emotional.

00:23:23.900 I actually have a one-year-old.

00:23:25.680 He's one tomorrow, and we only live around the corner.

00:23:29.660 And I just never thought that Ireland would be a place that I would be scared to raise my children in.

00:23:38.780 I just think the government is to blame.

00:23:42.360 I know some of the anger is being directed where maybe it shouldn't be.

00:23:48.260 But I think there's a big change.

00:23:50.780 And only we can make that change, you know.

00:23:53.100 And I think the parties that are being voted in need to go.

00:23:56.860 They've had their time, and look what they've done.

00:23:59.180 And it will take a long time.

00:24:00.920 This isn't going to be an overnight change.

00:24:02.440 It will take 10, 20 years to see a real change.

00:24:05.500 But I think we really need to change here in Ireland.

00:24:08.660 Big time.

00:24:09.100 This is an enormous facility.

00:24:11.500 It's like a university campus.

00:24:12.900 Oh, huge.

00:24:13.780 And it goes back even further when you go in.

00:24:15.900 I've never actually been in there myself.

00:24:17.480 And when I went in, like, there's so many buildings.

00:24:20.900 It's like summer camp for foreign nationals who sneak into Ireland.

00:24:25.800 Yeah, undocumented.

00:24:27.280 Yeah.

00:24:27.680 Illegal, you know.

00:24:29.060 This is the thing.

00:24:29.880 It's not about people that are genuinely trying to seek asylum.

00:24:33.560 And the thing is, I'd say it's a hard time for them in Ireland now.

00:24:37.380 You know, because, like I said, people are directing their anger to places they shouldn't.

00:24:42.240 And I'd say just to be here and be a foreign national is difficult.

00:24:46.400 But Ireland is barely 1% the population of all of Europe.

00:24:50.560 What are you doing taking in a million souls?

00:24:53.560 This is the thing about the government.

00:24:55.400 Again, I don't know how they're getting in time after time after time.

00:24:59.840 All right.

00:25:00.100 Well, I have a theory.

00:25:02.100 And one of them, I mean, I have a number of theories.

00:25:04.420 One is.

00:25:04.860 I love to hear a theory.

00:25:06.100 Well, one is anyone who disagrees with them, they call racist.

00:25:10.220 Oh, big time.

00:25:10.760 And so, and no one wants to be called racist.

00:25:13.100 That's the worst thing in the world. 0.68

00:25:14.840 Apparently, it's worse to be called a racist than to stop a rapist.

00:25:18.260 Oh, that's the thing.

00:25:19.700 And that's the fear.

00:25:21.060 And I think maybe that's the problem and why we don't have someone running that.

00:25:26.580 We're not looking for a racist.

00:25:28.100 We're looking for someone who's going to streamline the procedures and get, you know,

00:25:33.940 as much as getting them in, there needs to be a lot more.

00:25:36.280 It's more like this man was told to self-departize in March.

00:25:41.180 There is a blind woman and her child who were trying to get in there and the police turned

00:25:51.200 them away because this refugee camp's on lockdown now because some Irish are having a protest.

00:25:56.700 They're literally being sent blocks away because the guardee have decided that protecting the refugees is the most important thing in Ireland tonight.

00:26:08.720 It's so upside down. 0.83

00:26:10.680 This is after a migrant allegedly raped a 10-year-old girl.

00:26:14.320 So they're sending a blind mom down the road a few blocks, you know, security and all that. 1.00

00:26:20.760 Well, I'll tell you one thing about the Irish.

00:26:30.020 They're not shy about protesting.

00:26:31.700 They're not shy about expressing themselves.

00:26:34.620 And once a critical mass of protesters formed, they decided to march down the road.

00:26:41.440 This is where police shooed us away about an hour ago.

00:26:45.480 But now there's, I'd say, about 50 people.

00:26:48.580 A bunch arrived all at once.

00:26:51.420 And they protest a bit differently here.

00:26:54.320 We'll keep the camera rolling.

00:26:55.640 We'll see what the police do in response.

00:26:59.580 What's interesting today is that the foreign minister, Simon Harris, when he talked about it,

00:27:12.740 he went through a performative statement about how sorry he was about everything.

00:27:17.180 But he gave no inkling whatsoever that he realized things were wrong.

00:27:20.520 My immediate thoughts, though, of course, are with the young child.

00:27:25.160 Just that young child and what that young child must be going through right now.

00:27:28.500 And that's where my thoughts are in now.

00:27:30.980 But as a public representative, as a government leader, in establishing the facts

00:27:34.540 so that we can work out what happened in this case and what must happen.

00:27:39.060 Bringing in illegal migrants to Ireland is big business. 1.00

00:27:44.360 Billions of dollars.

00:27:45.740 And you think Simon Harris is going to let one rape stop that?

00:27:50.480 This is our national flag protected by our Constitution.

00:27:53.420 We have a sovereign right to display it on all public buildings,

00:27:56.140 poles and houses owned by the Irish people.

00:27:58.220 It's a very interesting comment because in Ireland, and I've seen it in the UK as well,

00:28:03.680 when people put up their national flags, governments sometimes take down those national flags.

00:28:09.440 And here in Ireland, senior politicians have even said that the flag is somehow un-Irish.

00:28:15.120 And it's a symbol, believe it or not, of racists.

00:28:17.620 That's what politicians like Michael Martin and Simon Harris,

00:28:21.400 the prime minister and the foreign minister, have said.

00:28:23.640 I find it inspiring when countries celebrate their own flag.

00:28:27.120 It's the essence of the nation.

00:28:29.680 Africans, Somalians, we don't know what type of people we have in this country.

00:28:36.620 Coming in here, no passports, not even a penny in their pocket. 0.99

00:28:42.200 And they're coming over and they're bleeding, killing their kids. 1.00

00:28:44.700 They're raping their kids. 1.00

00:28:46.080 They're trying to take over the country. 0.99

00:28:48.420 The Irish government won't put anything on the news what happens around here.

00:28:53.060 Nobody knows what happens around here. 0.99

00:28:55.460 Every single day, there's fucking more stuff happening. 0.83

00:29:00.100 Why is there not a single media company of any size? 0.98

00:29:03.360 Because the Irish government are part of the problem as well. 0.92

00:29:06.580 The Irish government are all gangsters as well. 0.99

00:29:09.380 They're all gangsters. 0.96

00:29:10.820 The police, the guard of Sheikana, gangsters. 0.96

00:29:13.640 The media, gangsters. 0.97

00:29:15.240 Raping kids, robbing houses. 1.00

00:29:17.540 Stabbing the garden. 0.99

00:29:20.340 If you get away with everything, there's only one way. 1.00

00:29:23.640 Get the fucker now. 1.00

00:29:24.760 At the end of the day, there's poor babies, poor children, innocent people. 1.00

00:29:28.080 Getting raped by these fuckers. 1.00

00:29:30.000 That are meant to be doctors, engineers and what's up. 1.00

00:29:32.980 And the dirty paedophile rapist, bastards, that raise paedophiles. 1.00

00:29:36.400 And that's all I have to say. 1.00

00:29:37.540 Get them out.

00:29:37.940 Let's break that 10-year-old. 0.98

00:29:38.920 All right. 1.00

00:29:39.480 Fuck my life, girl. 1.00

00:29:40.600 The rest of my life. 1.00

00:29:41.660 Come on, go on, go on, go on, go on.

00:29:47.540 Let's go.

00:29:50.280 Let's go.

00:29:52.140 Let's go.

00:29:52.520 Let's go.

00:29:53.080 Come on, come on, come on, come on! 0.75

00:30:23.080 Absolutely incredible moment as two Irish patriots on horses

00:30:28.080 come trotting down the street.

00:30:31.080 The crowd parts as if it's the Red Sea.

00:30:34.080 They go straight to the front amidst cheers.

00:30:36.080 And now they're back there, a dramatic show of Irish culture

00:30:40.080 and Irish determination.

00:30:42.080 They did not breach the gates, but they certainly got cheers all along.

00:30:53.080 Doing that!

00:31:08.080 Well done!

00:31:12.080 Look, look, the big people in the garden, the big people in the garden.

00:31:31.040 Peaceful protests turned not peaceful. Horses stormed in, firecrackers were shot in response.

00:31:43.040 The police have deployed their riot brigades. I've been hit with pepper spray.

00:31:49.040 I'm not opening my right eye because my face has pepper spray on it.

00:32:01.040 They're both pepper sprayed right now. It's crazy out here.

00:32:07.040 I would estimate 100 riot police in response.

00:32:11.040 They charged everyone, pepper spraying everyone, including journalists like myself, indiscriminately.

00:32:17.040 There are women and children in this protest. They were pepper sprayed as well.

00:32:21.040 I've never been pepper sprayed before. It's quite painful.

00:32:24.040 And more than that, it's disabling. You can't see. And so you can't really react.

00:32:29.040 I'm being guided around by my videographer, Lincoln Jay. Thank you, Lincoln.

00:32:33.040 An incredible show of force by the Irish police defending the migrants against Irish citizens. 1.00

00:32:41.040 Many of the protesters here would wonder when the Gardaí will protect Irish citizens from the refugees.

00:32:47.040 all right, so I got pepper sprayed to the face.

00:33:15.040 All right, so I got pepper sprayed to the face.

00:33:16.740 I'll stop being such a big baby.

00:33:18.040 I want to let you know I'm crying from the pepper, not from sorrow.

00:33:21.680 But it's quite a violent response from the guard.

00:33:23.880 Now, in fairness to them, there were some protesters who threw some projectiles at them.

00:33:29.280 And there were three men on horses that stomped on some pylons.

00:33:32.900 But holy smokes did the police respond with overwhelming force.

00:33:36.800 Like I say, probably 100 police, full riot gear.

00:33:40.740 They had attack dogs, pepper spraying everyone in the face indiscriminately.

00:33:43.940 You can see helicopters overhead.

00:33:46.300 I don't know if there's even a way out.

00:33:48.260 I've got a fair bit of pain from the pepper.

00:33:50.880 I do not know where the front line is.

00:33:52.680 My goal is just to sort of rinse my eyes.

00:33:55.300 There's no political party in the Irish Parliament or the Senate that represents these people.

00:34:02.600 There's no mainstream media organization that represents these people.

00:34:06.260 Well, last night at around midnight, when I finished up and finally made it back to the hotel, I made a video.

00:34:16.120 And it's gone viral, too.

00:34:17.560 I tell you, the Irish are so thirsty to know what's going on in their own country that they rely on a Canadian news channel.

00:34:24.080 It's very unusual.

00:34:25.620 But I'm happy to fill the role.

00:34:27.880 One of the reasons I also did this video last night at midnight is to show that whoever sent the thugs to beat me up, they didn't succeed.

00:34:34.780 I mean, they knocked me down and it did hurt.

00:34:37.000 I have a slight bruise over there.

00:34:39.100 But, yeah, that's not going to stop me.

00:34:40.740 As you know, Rebel News hires bodyguards for our reporters.

00:34:45.080 We've hired them for David.

00:34:46.120 We've hired them for Drea.

00:34:47.100 We've hired them for Sheila.

00:34:48.740 We've hired them for Alexa.

00:34:50.280 And when I go to Ireland, again, I'll most probably have bodyguards.

00:34:53.380 And it's unfortunate.

00:34:54.380 It's not a great way to look at the world as a potentially violent place.

00:34:58.640 And it's a big expense, of course.

00:35:00.560 But we are not going to be deterred.

00:35:02.900 We're not going to be deterred.

00:35:03.920 I'm not blaming the police for pepper spraying me.

00:35:06.540 I don't think it was on purpose.

00:35:07.800 And even if it was, I was fairly close to a riot.

00:35:11.120 So I'm not going to complain.

00:35:12.680 But the thug that they sent to beat me up, yeah, that's not going to stop me.

00:35:17.020 I don't know who is scared by these things.

00:35:20.500 But Rebel News has made a name for ourselves, standing up to thugs, whether they're international socialists or national socialists.

00:35:28.540 We bring people the truth.

00:35:29.920 And, by the way, when the question is asked in 20 years, where were you in this battle against the rape of Ireland?

00:35:36.980 And I know what I'll say.

00:35:37.980 I'll say I was providing journalism that gave a hearing to the people of Ireland who had no other voice.

00:35:44.360 And whatever thug thought that their big contribution was to send someone to hit me because I'm Jewish, well, that's a pitiful man right there.

00:35:53.860 And not much of an Irishman, I must say. 0.97

00:35:56.500 All right.

00:35:57.560 Here's my final clip that I recorded last night.

00:36:00.960 As for Levant for Rebel News, it's after midnight, finally back at our hotel here in Dublin.

00:36:05.700 And we're taking the first flight back to Toronto tomorrow morning.

00:36:09.100 We came with one purpose only, and that was to take the pulse of the people of Dublin after a shocking crime happened in their city.

00:36:17.640 Allegedly, a 26-year-old migrant who had been staying at Ireland's largest refugee camp, a 2,000-person swanky hotel turned into a migrant facility,

00:36:30.560 has been accused of raping a 10-year-old girl.

00:36:34.260 He was in court this morning.

00:36:36.980 By the way, he's been in Ireland for six years.

00:36:39.080 He had his refugee claim rejected.

00:36:41.840 Still, he refused to go.

00:36:43.280 He was given a deportation order.

00:36:45.180 Still, he refused to go.

00:36:46.780 And by the way, at his trial, he required an Arabic language translator.

00:36:50.840 Sounds like he didn't even bother to even try to learn the language.

00:36:53.860 It's shocking.

00:36:55.220 And this is the latest in a pattern of crimes by foreign migrants who are overwhelming Ireland. 1.00

00:37:01.360 I don't understand why this country is so dead set on, I don't know, setting some sort of record for the most migrants. 1.00

00:37:08.440 And many of them are so obviously bogus.

00:37:11.140 They've come here, many of them walking across from the United Kingdom, from Northern Ireland into Ireland.

00:37:17.320 Clearly, they're not in any danger.

00:37:19.520 If you're coming from the UK or France, you're not in danger.

00:37:22.380 You're not a refugee anymore. 0.99

00:37:23.760 It's a scam.

00:37:24.660 You know, we had a taxi driver today who was talking about how hard it is for him to get ahead and to buy a house, whereas all these migrants get free, luxurious accommodations, either in a hotel or in a house, including three square meals a day. 1.00

00:37:39.560 And it's an economic issue.

00:37:41.840 It's a cultural issue.

00:37:43.320 And it's a women's rights issue because so many of these migrants come from places where women are treated as second-class citizens. 1.00

00:37:50.300 And rape culture is a real thing. 1.00

00:37:51.900 And we went to the City West Hotel during the day to take a look at it.

00:37:57.720 And we went back at night when hundreds of Dubliners were there to protest.

00:38:02.060 The protests turned violent.

00:38:04.240 And both sides absolutely lashed out at the other.

00:38:08.040 I suppose on the side of the Dubliners, there was, I'd say, half a dozen people who were using fireworks to shoot at the police.

00:38:14.640 I don't think there would be more than that.

00:38:16.060 There were three Irish lads on horseback that sort of stomped on police pylons.

00:38:21.440 So that was the sum total of the violence from the protesters' side.

00:38:26.760 I would say ten or less people.

00:38:29.520 But on the police side, once they had that provocation, they responded overwhelmingly.

00:38:35.320 I would say at least a hundred Irish guardee, as they're called, including the riot squad.

00:38:40.380 I thought I heard attack dogs, but they were never deployed.

00:38:43.520 But what was deployed was pepper spray.

00:38:45.740 And I got pepper spray in the eye and the ear.

00:38:48.520 I tell you, that's an experience you won't forget quickly.

00:38:51.240 You know, I'm not much for that kind of protest.

00:38:53.260 I think where I come from, Canada has a more passive style than Ireland.

00:38:58.780 There's a phrase, the fighting Irish. 0.84

00:39:00.580 And I think the Irish have a rebellious streak in them, which is one of the reasons they're such an interesting and powerful people.

00:39:10.020 And I'm sort of hoping that the Irish streak of rebellion will help free the country from this crazy mass immigration cult. 1.00

00:39:21.980 And I think that's the thing that I take away from me tonight, is that the hundreds of people there, some of whom are violent, most of whom are not.

00:39:30.580 All of whom are desperate.

00:39:32.620 No one's hearing their voice.

00:39:34.140 No one's being their voice.

00:39:35.500 No one's listening to them.

00:39:37.860 All the major political parties believe in mass immigration.

00:39:41.140 And if you oppose it, they call you racist.

00:39:43.100 All the major media do the same thing.

00:39:46.460 Who do these people turn to?

00:39:48.080 Where do they look for help?

00:39:49.820 It's not shocking to me that some of them use fireworks against the police.

00:39:53.440 I don't recommend that, of course.

00:39:54.700 I don't praise the violence.

00:39:56.520 But it's understandable, even if it's not acceptable.

00:39:59.060 I think that we're going to see another round of these protesters being denounced as racist.

00:40:05.240 But it doesn't change the fact that these mass immigration refugee camps are a danger. 1.00

00:40:11.720 And even if they're not a danger of violence, which they are, they're changing Ireland. 0.64

00:40:16.640 They're making it a different place.

00:40:19.040 I was in the town of Dundrum last year, 200 people, and suddenly 240 migrants were put into a town of 200 people.

00:40:26.860 Instantly, the Irish became a minority in their own town.

00:40:31.040 There's terrible things going on here in Ireland being done to the people.

00:40:35.140 But there's also some hopefulness, the people fighting back.

00:40:38.760 One of the roles that Rebel News plays is that we tell the other side of the story.

00:40:42.420 I love coming to Ireland to show the Irish what is happening because they can't get that information, often from their regime media.

00:40:49.620 And being from North America, we love to tell the story to North Americans.

00:40:54.500 I call my trips to Ireland and the UK and to France and Netherlands.

00:40:57.960 I say they're a dystopian time machine where I see what life will be like in Canada five years from now if we don't change course.

00:41:05.860 I love being there tonight.

00:41:07.400 So many Irish people stopped me to say hello.

00:41:10.440 There was one person who didn't like me much.

00:41:12.540 I was sneaked up on behind in sugar puns.

00:41:15.480 That was first for me as well.

00:41:18.360 But, you know, nothing's going to deter me from continuing my journalism.

00:41:22.940 I have to say that two years ago, I'd never been to Ireland in my life.

00:41:26.100 I really didn't know any Irish people other than Irish Canadians.

00:41:28.960 But now I love the place.

00:41:30.920 I love coming over and our videographers do.

00:41:32.900 I think this is our sixth trip over here.

00:41:36.240 And I want to know how the story ends.

00:41:39.360 I want it to be a happy ending.

00:41:40.740 I want the Irish to take back their country and I want the madness of the NGOs and the mass immigration to stop. 1.00

00:41:47.920 I want that to be done peacefully.

00:41:49.980 I'm not sure if the powers that be will allow that to be done peacefully.

00:41:54.000 We'll be there every step of the way to document it.

00:41:56.900 I remain a friend of Ireland and I wish the country very well.

00:42:00.560 I'll be back very soon.

00:42:02.160 If you've enjoyed my reports today, and we'll have some more over the days ahead, we're still editing so many videotapes,

00:42:09.340 please do me a favor and help chip in for our economy class airfare to get over here. 0.57

00:42:15.200 My videographer Lincoln and myself, we don't take any money from the government, unlike RTE.

00:42:21.400 We just rely on the support of our viewers.

00:42:23.800 So if you like our journalism and value it, do me a favor and go to migrantreports.com and chip in a few euros or a few dollars if you can.

00:42:32.980 Thanks, Ireland.

00:42:34.140 We'll see you soon.

00:42:37.300 Well, that's what I said last night around midnight.

00:42:39.680 Then I got on the plane this morning and I'm home now.

00:42:42.140 Hey, we do have a couple of letters.

00:42:43.740 Let me read those to you now.

00:42:46.880 Paul Schofield says,

00:42:48.200 Well, like I say, they do have a fairly recent history of using force in Irish politics.

00:43:09.200 And I'm not used to that.

00:43:10.340 I don't think Canadians are used to that.

00:43:11.680 But in Ireland, if they don't resolve things democratically, that's why it's so heartbreaking that the parliament is doing its best to shut out alternative political vehicles.

00:43:21.700 And the media is doing its best to silence and shame dissidents.

00:43:27.520 Don't they know that they are causing the conditions for people to use force?

00:43:31.160 And I don't say that as an advocacy for force.

00:43:34.300 I don't say that happily.

00:43:35.680 When you shut people out of the political system, they are going to seek remedies outside of the political system.

00:43:42.160 That's why it's so important that Nigel Farage remain viable and they don't try and, you know, lawfare him out of there like they did to Donald Trump.

00:43:51.600 And he is all that's left keeping millions of Brits in the system.

00:43:56.900 And I'm worried that Irish people are, if they simply do not see anyone in the establishment listening to their concerns.

00:44:06.280 Lemmy Winks 369 says, I'm so sorry you were assaulted, Ezra.

00:44:09.240 As an Irishman, I'm deeply embarrassed.

00:44:10.860 Well, thank you for that.

00:44:11.700 But don't be embarrassed.

00:44:12.480 This is not on Ireland.

00:44:14.620 I mean, if I got hit in Toronto, I wouldn't blame every Torontonian.

00:44:19.420 I understand it wasn't every Torontonian.

00:44:22.460 In fact, it was the opposite.

00:44:23.700 I felt so much warm welcome.

00:44:25.820 You know, I probably stopped for 20 selfies and I shook 50 hands and, you know, there's an Irish phrase they use in the UK to fair play on you, sir, for coming out.

00:44:40.300 Fair play.

00:44:40.840 Like, I got a lot of encouragement for being there.

00:44:43.440 And when people learned that we flew in that morning just to cover that protest, they were grateful.

00:44:47.840 And I love Ireland.

00:44:48.860 I love the Irish people.

00:44:49.720 And believe you me, I understand that these few folks who are violent towards me, they do not represent Ireland.

00:44:55.680 Of course they don't.

00:44:57.020 And I'm going to keep coming to Ireland. 0.88

00:44:58.260 You bet I will.

00:44:59.460 Well, that's our show for today.

00:45:00.980 Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, to you at home, good night.

00:45:05.160 And keep fighting for freedom.
