Rebel News Podcast - EZRA LEVANT ｜ The side of Cork's mass immigration protest the media won't show you

00:00:00.000 Tonight, I spent the day in Cork, the rebel county of Ireland.

00:00:04.840 They had a big march against mass immigration.

00:00:07.380 It's June 9th, and this is The Ezra LeVant Show.

00:00:09.760 You're ready for freedom! 0.75

00:00:12.660 Shame on you, you censorious bug! 0.97

00:00:24.660 Oh, hi, everybody. I go to Ireland, first of all, because it's beautiful, 0.73

00:00:28.660 second of all, because it's friendly.

00:00:30.780 But third of all, and most importantly, it is a battleground

00:00:33.740 between equal but opposite forces on the mass immigration battle.

00:00:38.900 On the one side of that are all the political parties in the parliament,

00:00:43.500 all the media, and 33,000 NGOs pushing mass immigration on this small country.

00:00:50.000 That is a mighty power.

00:00:51.760 But there is a mighty power, on the other hand,

00:00:54.040 an army of Davids taking on Goliath.

00:00:56.880 Maybe one day we couldn't do it, but what if he had tens of thousands of guys?

00:01:01.180 That's why I call it a battle between both sides.

00:01:04.880 The populist side, the nationalist side, the grassroots side,

00:01:08.220 has almost no institutional or establishment support.

00:01:12.000 But yet they have enormous rallies.

00:01:14.880 And I think there's a real grassroots uprising.

00:01:17.360 We saw it about five weeks ago in Dublin, the capital,

00:01:21.380 when more than 50,000 people marched.

00:01:24.540 I say again, no, mainstream political parties, no, mainstream media were there.

00:01:28.820 It was just the people, 50,000.

00:01:31.560 Take a look.

00:01:35.480 Irish people can't get homes. 1.00

00:01:36.880 They can't get hostel beds.

00:01:38.180 This has to come to an end.

00:01:39.260 Well, here I am in Cork.

00:01:46.680 That's the second city of Ireland.

00:01:49.360 And I'm told it's a little bit more woke,

00:01:51.820 a little bit more left-wing, more Antifa,

00:01:54.340 more pro-Hamas activists. 0.69

00:01:56.560 And I believe it.

00:01:57.700 In fact, I saw it.

00:01:59.120 When we went down for today's rally in Cork,

00:02:02.260 we first encountered the Palestinian side.

00:02:05.060 I tried to talk to some people there,

00:02:07.480 but the marshals knew who we were.

00:02:10.740 And any time we were speaking with someone,

00:02:13.280 these marshals came in and pushed them out of the way, 0.62

00:02:15.960 or in one case told a woman she was not allowed to talk to me,

00:02:19.900 even though she really, really wanted to.

00:02:22.440 Here, take a look.

00:02:23.120 Well done for actually reporting on this,

00:02:24.880 because this is disgusting what happens in Ireland. 0.86

00:02:27.500 Absolutely disgusting. 0.94

00:02:29.240 Well, tell me your point of view. 0.96

00:02:30.320 So are you from Cork?

00:02:31.700 Could you not?

00:02:32.700 No, I can't.

00:02:33.660 No, no, I don't.

00:02:34.520 They're only going to misrepresent you, you know?

00:02:37.200 No, these are good people.

00:02:40.020 What's your name?

00:02:40.860 I don't agree.

00:02:41.540 Oh, sorry, I'm not going to comment on that.

00:02:43.300 Why are you interrupting us?

00:02:44.420 Why are you mansplaining?

00:02:46.180 Why are you mansplaining to her who she can talk to? 1.00

00:02:48.680 Are you her boss?

00:02:49.740 Do you think she should wear a burqa? 0.65

00:02:51.540 No, that's...

00:02:52.720 Sorry, lads.

00:02:53.560 Excuse me.

00:02:54.200 Why would you come over and interrupt a woman? 0.68

00:02:56.720 Excuse me.

00:02:57.580 Excuse me.

00:02:57.880 Seriously, why would you do that?

00:02:59.060 I'm not going to comment on anything.

00:03:00.140 I'm sorry, lads. 0.98

00:03:01.020 He's gone dumb now. 0.98

00:03:02.240 Yeah. 0.99

00:03:02.460 Well, what were you saying before you were so rudely interrupted by that mansplainer?

00:03:06.460 Do you see what happens?

00:03:07.640 Do you see you're not allowed to talk to nobody?

00:03:10.080 No. 0.74

00:03:10.600 This whole country is so corrupt. 0.98

00:03:14.180 So corrupt. 0.99

00:03:15.160 You got the Palestinian flag and the pride flag. 0.86

00:03:18.340 Are they compatible, do you think?

00:03:19.640 Everybody wants to be filmed or talked to.

00:03:21.460 Sorry.

00:03:21.660 This is a public rally, though, that you came to, right?

00:03:24.780 I can choose who I want to talk to.

00:03:27.640 There's a little guy.

00:03:28.540 He's pretty cute.

00:03:29.280 How little is he?

00:03:30.220 I see he's got a little watermelon pin on him.

00:03:33.480 Is that sort of a baby Hamas supporter?

00:03:35.620 What's that mean?

00:03:37.080 It means that you're not strong unless you're together.

00:03:40.280 You know, the pro-Hamas side is extremely invasive.

00:03:49.520 They don't want any of their people to talk at all. 0.91

00:03:52.400 That's the second time I've seen a Hamas marshal shoo someone away when all I was doing was asking

00:03:58.920 what the sign was.

00:04:00.240 There's an authoritarian impulse there that's disappointing but not too surprising.

00:04:05.140 Contrary to what he says, you're great.

00:04:07.660 You know, I want to be honest with you, though. 1.00

00:04:09.940 Asking the Antifa people what they think of things, it's fun because they say stupid things. 0.97

00:04:16.000 But most of the time, if I ever do have an opportunity to ask questions of these professional 0.99

00:04:21.220 protesters, they really don't know what to say.

00:04:24.160 And that's proven, I think, by their signs.

00:04:27.360 Here, take a look.

00:04:28.080 I was in sort of a no-man's land between the Antifa and Hamas protesters and the pro-Ireland

00:04:34.200 protesters, and the signs included global warming and transgender flags.

00:04:41.200 And here, just take a look for yourself.

00:04:43.960 It was, you know, I'm showing up for my weekly protest.

00:04:47.580 Hand me the sign.

00:04:48.960 Tell me a chant or two.

00:04:50.360 And I'm just a warm body.

00:04:51.620 Take a look.

00:04:52.040 I'm standing in a barrier, a DMZ, a demilitarized zone between the pro-Hamas protesters on that

00:04:59.840 side and the pro-Ireland protesters on this side.

00:05:03.400 And there's about a 15-foot gap in between them.

00:05:07.040 When I came up the Grand Parade when I arrived in Cork, I saw the Palestinian side first. 0.80

00:05:12.780 You can find them like that because there's very few Irish flags amongst them.

00:05:18.080 I see a couple over there and one there, but they're outnumbered five to one by Palestinian

00:05:23.480 flags.

00:05:23.960 There's public sector labor union flags.

00:05:27.600 There's some transgender flags.

00:05:29.740 And there's lots of kafiyahs and little watermelon triangles, which is the triangle, the red triangle 0.93

00:05:35.740 is the Hamas symbol for a kill shot.

00:05:38.960 And I have to say, I am somewhat surprised by the size of the pro-Hamas crowd.

00:05:47.220 When I was in Dublin, they had a much smaller pro-Hamas counter protest in reaction to the

00:05:54.720 nationalist protest, which I came here actually to cover.

00:05:58.340 However, I guess Cork is a more left-leaning town.

00:06:02.940 A couple of people here who recognized me came up to me to tell me it's actually a pretty

00:06:07.460 woke place.

00:06:09.560 And I believe it.

00:06:12.080 You know, Ireland's political class is very anti-Israel.

00:06:17.140 In fact, I would go so far as to say that the political establishment in Ireland actually

00:06:22.260 is anti-Semitic.

00:06:23.700 Now, I want to be crystal clear.

00:06:25.020 I do not believe that the people of Ireland are.

00:06:27.760 I would never paint with a broad brush like that.

00:06:30.120 But there are many people here who I think would meet that definition, which is sort of

00:06:36.320 odd because there are so few Jews in Ireland.

00:06:39.820 In a country of five million people, there's maybe 2,000 Jews and most of them are professionals

00:06:45.280 or professors in Dublin.

00:06:47.840 I don't quite understand it.

00:06:49.600 I think maybe they think we were rebels, sorry, we were rebelling against the British

00:06:56.380 and the Palestinians are rebelling against Israel.

00:06:59.700 Maybe they're trying to find common cause there.

00:07:02.260 I don't think the analogy works, though, because the Irish are the indigenous people of Ireland

00:07:07.180 and the Jews, going back to biblical time, are the indigenous people of Israel.

00:07:12.840 So I don't think that analogy works.

00:07:15.180 I've attended probably half a dozen marches and protests against mass immigration to Ireland.

00:07:22.640 And I have not seen any anti-Semitism.

00:07:25.700 And the only flag I've seen is the Irish flag.

00:07:28.980 And I have to believe in my heart that that is the majority of Ireland.

00:07:33.720 But just to look at this crowd here, I mean, there's a lot of people here who just would

00:07:39.300 go to any protest.

00:07:40.360 I don't think they would have a deep knowledge about anything.

00:07:43.900 Many of them just hold a flag they were given or hold a sign they were given.

00:07:49.520 The rich love it when you blame refugees. 0.82

00:07:52.440 Well, actually, I disagree with that.

00:07:54.080 The rich in Ireland get rich off of refugees by getting massive government contracts to build 0.81

00:08:01.120 these urban, or you can hear them chanting, free, free Palestine, which is such a crazy

00:08:07.000 thing to hear in Ireland.

00:08:08.220 No to discrimination, yes to climate justice.

00:08:12.200 I guess she had that sign left over from the last one.

00:08:16.400 Stop pretending your racism is patriotism.

00:08:19.740 And then Ireland for all.

00:08:22.560 You know what?

00:08:24.180 It's so ironic.

00:08:25.840 I was walking with a lady who said that she is pro-Irish.

00:08:30.920 She hated being called anti-Semitic, especially when these were the ones looking to kill the 0.98

00:08:36.280 Jews. 0.98

00:08:37.940 Ireland isn't full. 1.00

00:08:39.100 You're full of shit. 1.00

00:08:42.580 Well, if you've ever talked to some young person in Ireland trying to find a home, you 1.00

00:08:48.860 will realize that if Ireland itself isn't full, all the homes in Ireland are full.

00:08:53.960 It's a similar situation to what we have in Canada.

00:08:57.140 When you bring in mass immigration, you drive down wages and you drive up the cost of housing. 0.99

00:09:04.860 Looks like the police are deploying a bit of a human wall.

00:09:08.160 I don't think it's particularly necessary.

00:09:10.500 But then again, I'm not a cop who has all the intel.

00:09:13.800 I'm just reading some of the signs, always anti-fascist.

00:09:16.600 That goes to my point that these are sort of garden variety Antifa.

00:09:21.600 Oh, here's one that talks about housing.

00:09:24.440 163,000 vacant properties, 15,000 homeless, 34% of government TDs, that's what they call

00:09:31.380 MPs here, are landlords.

00:09:33.540 The housing crisis is a political choice.

00:09:36.040 I'd say that there's a little bit of truth to that, but you can't bring in hundreds of

00:09:41.600 thousands of people to this small country without sopping up the properties.

00:09:46.600 When properties go on the market, there are lineups, there are bidding wars, and indigenous 1.00

00:09:51.960 Irish often can't afford it, whereas migrants, and frankly, most of the refugee claimants 0.57

00:09:57.620 are fake.

00:09:58.460 They get government subsidies, so there's an unfairness built into it.

00:10:02.740 Everyone's competing in the same housing market, but the foreign refugees get government funding,

00:10:08.200 whereas the indigenous Irish have to compete against hundreds of thousands of other migrants.

00:10:13.880 Let's keep reading the signs.

00:10:14.820 Cork says no to racism.

00:10:17.400 Well, I agree with that.

00:10:19.720 Refugees welcome.

00:10:20.960 I wonder if he welcomes any of them in his own home.

00:10:23.440 I'm going to go out on a limb and guess he doesn't.

00:10:26.540 Let's just read a few more of these signs here.

00:10:29.180 Cork community unity against austerity and division.

00:10:35.180 So, you know, like I say, there are some professional NG's. 0.64

00:10:39.480 Oh, there you go.

00:10:43.460 You know what?

00:10:44.840 There are some friendly folks here who've been calling out to me all day.

00:10:48.720 He raps about his life in care of Tosla.

00:10:52.560 He's a famous rapper.

00:10:53.360 Well, you know what?

00:10:54.940 I'm with Rebel News, and this is the Rebel County, so we have something in common.

00:10:59.420 Let's just read a few more signs.

00:11:00.820 I won't get in the way, officer.

00:11:02.920 Lots of keffees I see.

00:11:04.340 I think that's sort of it for the signs.

00:11:07.360 Bella Ciao is one sign. 0.71

00:11:09.040 I don't really know what that means.

00:11:12.400 The difference between this crowd and, let's say, a pro-Hamas crowd in Toronto is the ethnic mix.

00:11:19.100 In Toronto, it's about 90 or 95 percent migrants themselves.

00:11:24.060 Here, it's sort of Irish leftists cosplaying.

00:11:28.160 They're dressing up in keffees. 0.54

00:11:30.020 They probably don't really know what it means.

00:11:32.360 They're waving Palestinian flags.

00:11:35.280 They probably would never wave an Irish flag, so they'll wave anything else put in their hands.

00:11:40.840 It's very different and very weird to see the keffees being worn by indigenous white Irish. 1.00

00:11:49.320 But that's their country, and that's the clash here. 0.65

00:11:53.720 It's almost like I'm standing in the middle where Moses parted the sea on this side,

00:11:59.100 the anti-mass immigration rally that I came to attend.

00:12:02.960 And on this side, the counter-protest by the Antifa and Hamas side.

00:12:07.600 Anyways, I'm grateful to the police for allowing me to walk in this DMZ.

00:12:12.640 I'm going to slowly make my way back there, and we'll see how it goes.

00:12:16.140 Well, it was a huge rally.

00:12:17.220 It's winding down now.

00:12:18.500 I had a chance to speak one-on-one with two of the key organizers, Malachi Steenson and Derek Bly.

00:12:24.100 There's some very interesting grassroots people.

00:12:26.640 Derek Bly, a bricklayer who came very close to winning his seat in the European Parliament.

00:12:31.440 Now he's hosting rallies with thousands.

00:12:34.380 But I just want to show you something across the river.

00:12:37.160 That is a government union office, and they have a massive billboard that says,

00:12:43.820 enact the Occupied Territories Bill now.

00:12:47.940 I have not read the Occupied Territories Bill.

00:12:50.940 I assume it's referring to Israel and denouncing or sanctioning Israel.

00:12:56.460 The Irish government is obsessed with Israel, even though it's so far away from the Middle 1.00

00:13:03.060 East.

00:13:03.560 There's no historical connection, no ethnic connection, no religious connection.

00:13:08.460 And as I mentioned before, there's almost no Jews in Ireland, 2,000 out of a country of

00:13:13.780 5 million.

00:13:15.060 And I've been thinking about that because the pro-Hamas rally, the counter-protest to today's

00:13:21.960 nationalist anti-immigration rally was basically a Hamas rally.

00:13:26.260 There were some Antifa people there, some environmentalist people there, some Marxist

00:13:29.940 people there, some labor unions there.

00:13:31.440 But mainly, it was a Hamas rally.

00:13:33.920 And I was thinking, why are some Irish obsessed with Israel?

00:13:38.480 Not these folks.

00:13:40.320 These folks I saw, they had hundreds of Irish tricolors, as their flag is called.

00:13:45.820 I saw some county flags, and I saw one American flag and one Israeli flag.

00:13:52.660 But basically, these people on this side, they fly the flag that represents their heart,

00:13:57.720 which is Irish.

00:13:58.960 The anti-march, the counter-protest, which was much smaller, hardly any Irish flags, mainly

00:14:06.400 Palestinian flags, some transgender flags.

00:14:08.740 And my point is, I think it's filling a void.

00:14:13.500 I think it's a kind of misdirection.

00:14:17.560 If you are looking for a cause, if you're looking to heal the world, to save the world,

00:14:24.660 you can do that right in your own home, right in your own city, right in your own neighborhood.

00:14:29.740 Starts with helping an Irish person who's homeless or unemployed.

00:14:34.480 But that's actually hard work.

00:14:36.560 That actually means doing something.

00:14:38.340 It's much easier to virtue signal, to let the world know just how exquisitely moral you

00:14:44.320 are about something happening on the other side of the world that you really have nothing

00:14:48.500 to do with.

00:14:49.320 I'm picking up the conversation that I left off on the street level because I couldn't

00:14:53.600 finish my reports.

00:14:54.660 Every couple of minutes, either someone came by to say hello or someone came by to heckle

00:14:58.940 free Palestine.

00:15:00.380 It was really weird in the Palestine thing.

00:15:03.420 And I think it's actually more persuasive, pervasive than I had thought.

00:15:09.360 And again, it's not the nationalist anti-immigration movement.

00:15:13.360 It's everything else.

00:15:14.700 It's the wokeness.

00:15:16.000 A bunch of kids, by kids I mean late teens and early 20s, just accosted me and wanted to

00:15:22.500 start talking about how Israel doesn't have a right to exist.

00:15:25.260 These were not people who were at either rally, frankly.

00:15:28.820 These were just kids.

00:15:29.860 And I said, where did you learn this?

00:15:31.420 And they basically said, at school. 0.99

00:15:33.360 It was the dumbest conversation I've ever held. 0.98

00:15:36.360 Here, let me show you just a moment of it. 0.99

00:15:38.780 But it actually scared me because these kids are not political.

00:15:41.440 But the default in this country, I think, seeping through the NGOs, seeping through the schools,

00:15:50.080 seeping through the left-wing politics, and even the graffiti, it's anti-Semitic.

00:15:54.480 And it's so weird to me because there's no Jews for a million miles in this place.

00:15:58.880 But it fills that void for the left.

00:16:03.600 I don't know.

00:16:03.960 Here's just a taste of these five kids.

00:16:05.920 They say, I'm a moral person.

00:16:07.340 I'm a charitable person.

00:16:08.380 I care about people.

00:16:10.100 What's your name?

00:16:11.660 Oh, dude.

00:16:12.220 My name is Levi.

00:16:13.820 Levi Ackerman.

00:16:15.120 I don't believe that.

00:16:16.660 Levi Ackerman.

00:16:17.580 I'm 18 years old.

00:16:19.280 I love people.

00:16:20.880 I love cigarettes.

00:16:22.840 And I love dope.

00:16:24.020 Yeah, yeah.

00:16:24.820 That I do believe.

00:16:25.940 The Crusades also invaded the Levant, which is the whole... 0.96

00:16:28.700 Well, who was there first, the Christians or the Muslims? 1.00

00:16:32.280 Well, it depends.

00:16:33.500 It depends.

00:16:34.260 The Muslims. 0.90

00:16:34.780 The Muslims. 0.90

00:16:35.480 Do you know which religion...

00:16:36.500 Modern Arabs, but not Muslims.

00:16:38.300 Muslims came... 1.00

00:16:39.300 Well, those Arabs were Christian. 0.68

00:16:40.540 You know the Arabs were Christian.

00:16:42.220 Not before Christianity. 0.99

00:16:44.200 Thank you.

00:16:45.720 Really cool.

00:16:46.960 See, there's an honest man.

00:16:48.540 You just said you don't know where Palestine is.

00:16:50.420 I believe you.

00:16:51.140 Palestine is... 0.79

00:16:51.640 People can't point it out of the map.

00:16:52.880 And then there was some gal who I... 1.00

00:16:54.680 I don't know.

00:16:55.600 She just came up and interrupted me and said,

00:16:57.600 Free Palestine.

00:16:58.340 And I ran up to her and asked what her name was

00:17:00.600 and what she had to say.

00:17:01.600 And then she panicked.

00:17:03.880 Free Palestine.

00:17:04.460 Hey, what's your name?

00:17:06.440 Come back.

00:17:07.200 Have a chat.

00:17:07.960 What's your name?

00:17:09.820 What's your name?

00:17:11.540 I don't want to participate in this.

00:17:13.140 Well, you just did participate in it.

00:17:14.560 In fact, he's interrupted what I was doing.

00:17:16.440 So why are you running away?

00:17:18.120 I'm not really comfortable to...

00:17:19.600 Empire, Americans, Mark. 0.83

00:17:21.520 I'm not an American.

00:17:22.680 I'm a Canadian.

00:17:23.300 And why are you so profane?

00:17:25.220 Why are you so rude?

00:17:27.460 Why are you running away?

00:17:29.560 So you're following me?

00:17:30.720 He's following me.

00:17:31.800 Yeah, you...

00:17:32.760 I'm not harassing you at all.

00:17:34.140 You came...

00:17:34.540 You interrupted my work.

00:17:35.940 And you just swore at me.

00:17:37.960 She was comfortable interrupting my video recording

00:17:41.860 but not talking.

00:17:43.180 And I didn't understand,

00:17:44.420 well, was that just a random thing?

00:17:46.240 Is that what you do when you see someone

00:17:48.180 doing a TV interview?

00:17:49.480 You run in and say, Free Palestine?

00:17:50.900 Or did she know that Rebel News was pro-Israel?

00:17:54.200 Well, I think that actually in this town,

00:17:57.400 the cool thing, the fashionable thing

00:18:00.240 is to be pro-Palestine.

00:18:02.180 I say again, I saw several instances

00:18:04.340 of pro-Palestine graffiti.

00:18:06.540 You're in Cork.

00:18:07.900 You're in Ireland.

00:18:09.120 It's not...

00:18:10.200 This is not the front line of that battle,

00:18:12.040 but it's a placebo.

00:18:13.440 You get to pretend that you've been doing

00:18:15.760 meaningful moral work.

00:18:18.260 I don't know.

00:18:19.040 I found that a little depressing.

00:18:20.900 But again, I refuse to ascribe that

00:18:22.980 to the Irish people as a whole.

00:18:25.040 That's the left.

00:18:26.000 That's the global left.

00:18:27.480 That's the migrant left. 1.00

00:18:29.480 That's the Antifa left.

00:18:30.740 That's the NGO left.

00:18:32.220 That's the education left.

00:18:33.500 That is not the right.

00:18:35.680 In fact, probably the number one thing

00:18:36.980 I heard today were people coming up to me

00:18:38.460 and apologizing to me for when I bumped

00:18:40.900 into that Nazi a month ago 0.82

00:18:42.300 named Justin Barrett.

00:18:43.660 Remember when I bumped into the guy

00:18:45.200 I nicknamed Littler Hitler? 0.75

00:18:47.000 What did the cops say?

00:18:47.880 I don't talk to the Jews.

00:18:49.400 You don't talk to the Jews?

00:18:50.340 Well, most of our viewers are non-Jewish. 0.59

00:18:53.340 Well, you are, so I don't talk to Jews. 1.00

00:18:55.840 Okay, well, talk through me to my Christian viewers.

00:18:57.940 No, I'm not talking to Jews. 1.00

00:19:00.260 Well, you're a disgrace. 1.00

00:19:01.280 There's nothing wrong with National Socialism. 0.99

00:19:03.160 Oh, my God.

00:19:03.840 National Socialism knew how to deal

00:19:05.440 with people like you.

00:19:06.540 Yes, so many people here came up to me

00:19:09.120 and said, that's not Ireland.

00:19:10.440 I said, I know that's not Ireland.

00:19:12.460 But it's actually becoming the woke left

00:19:15.080 young people in Ireland, which is sort of sad.

00:19:17.340 But that's a completely different subject.

00:19:18.800 Anyway, back to the matter at hand.

00:19:20.600 Mass immigration.

00:19:23.780 So far, this movement is largely amateur.

00:19:26.520 There's a couple of minor elected positions

00:19:28.620 like Malipi Steenson and Derek Bly,

00:19:30.560 the bricklayer who organized the whole event.

00:19:33.600 He talked to us for about five minutes.

00:19:35.280 I thought it was very instructive.

00:19:36.320 Here's Derek Bly.

00:19:37.300 We stand here to tell the government enough

00:19:41.480 with your failed housing policy.

00:19:45.980 Enough with your failed health care policy.

00:19:50.820 Enough with your failed immigration policy.

00:19:56.300 The man of the hour is Derek Bly.

00:19:58.280 He's the organizer here.

00:19:59.800 I only have five minutes with him

00:20:00.840 because he's surrounded by well-wishers.

00:20:03.000 Thanks for taking five minutes.

00:20:04.620 Your people love you.

00:20:06.040 Tell our viewers a little bit more about yourself.

00:20:09.280 Yeah, you know what, Ezra?

00:20:11.160 All I am is an ordinary man.

00:20:12.940 I'm a bricklayer.

00:20:14.200 I'm a husband, a father, and I love my country.

00:20:18.220 I lived in Canada for 10 years,

00:20:19.980 and I came back to Ireland,

00:20:22.140 and I went, whoa, what is after happening?

00:20:25.760 Wokeness, mass immigration 1.00

00:20:27.700 had absolutely changed my country completely.

00:20:31.240 Ireland used to be a conservative country.

00:20:33.800 It used to be a safe country.

00:20:35.700 It used to have a high trust.

00:20:37.360 No, the streets are dangerous.

00:20:40.120 Children can't walk the streets.

00:20:41.680 Women can't walk the streets. 1.00

00:20:43.760 This used to be a country where

00:20:45.800 you would leave your car open.

00:20:47.780 You would leave your front door open at night.

00:20:49.840 You could leave your children in a pram

00:20:52.020 at the front of a shop.

00:20:53.600 You cannot do that anymore.

00:20:55.260 There are stabbings.

00:20:56.640 There are rapes.

00:20:57.780 You know, young people can't find housing.

00:21:01.160 They're leaving the country in their droves. 0.65

00:21:03.240 Ireland has changed massively,

00:21:05.660 and all I'm trying to do is raise awareness,

00:21:09.300 rally the troops, and make a change,

00:21:11.820 and hopefully try to make a difference.

00:21:13.680 Well, this was a huge rally today.

00:21:15.640 Do you have any estimate of the crowd size,

00:21:18.320 or any other anecdotes about how big it was?

00:21:21.560 I couldn't even see the end of the crowd, Ezra.

00:21:23.980 We had it drawn up.

00:21:25.060 I'm going to look at the footage later.

00:21:26.560 But we had over 50,000 in Dublin.

00:21:28.960 Oh, we were there, yeah.

00:21:29.860 You were there.

00:21:30.840 This is Cork, the second city.

00:21:34.080 So even if we got, you know,

00:21:36.040 10,000 people in Cork, that would be immense.

00:21:38.660 I said it on the stage today.

00:21:40.480 We had about 600 people three years ago,

00:21:44.160 and that was with a national call-out.

00:21:46.280 The numbers we got today were unprecedented,

00:21:48.820 and it shows that the mindset is changing,

00:21:52.240 and people are tired of what's going on,

00:21:53.880 and they're not afraid to get wet,

00:21:55.840 and they're going to show up on the street.

00:21:57.560 Derek, there's so much grassroots energy in Ireland.

00:22:01.700 I've studied mass migration in many countries,

00:22:04.820 and I've never seen this spirit of rebellion elsewhere.

00:22:08.040 I think it's part of the Irish nature to be rebellious.

00:22:11.680 They call this the rebel county.

00:22:13.940 Our media is called Rebel News, by the way,

00:22:16.020 so we have a kinship.

00:22:17.160 How do you go from this kind of populist nationalist energy

00:22:22.320 to actually getting into positions where you can make changes

00:22:26.800 because the major political parties are all on the other side of these issues?

00:22:32.240 For 100 years, Fianna Fáil and Fianna Gael, right,

00:22:35.560 have dominated the political scene, okay?

00:22:38.220 Now, Sinn Féin, they used to present themselves

00:22:43.360 as the working man's alternative, right,

00:22:47.320 but people know that they're only fraudsters.

00:22:49.520 They know they're fraudsters.

00:22:50.900 So for the last three to four years, five years even,

00:22:54.000 myself and a few others have focused on bringing the public the truth

00:22:59.240 while also running for elections.

00:23:01.260 My first round of European elections,

00:23:04.680 I amassed in total 38,000 votes.

00:23:09.000 Like, I was not far from a seat for a bricklayer 0.56

00:23:11.860 who has no political background.

00:23:14.360 That is a major launching pad.

00:23:17.680 Next time round, what's going to happen?

00:23:20.260 That's what we're getting ready for now.

00:23:22.040 Last question, then I'll let you get back to your people.

00:23:24.900 Can you comment on the role of independent citizen journalist?

00:23:28.320 I saw a lot of people in the audience with sort of cell phone broadcasting.

00:23:33.260 That's sort of our style, too.

00:23:35.620 Is the independent media in Ireland strong?

00:23:38.720 Is it getting stronger?

00:23:40.000 Because I know that the state media is very hostile to you.

00:23:43.000 For all of history, okay, governments are those that rule the land.

00:23:47.760 They also control the media, okay?

00:23:50.460 With the onset of smartphone technology, right,

00:23:54.700 and access to the internet, okay?

00:23:58.820 People on the streets are now bringing the truth.

00:24:01.320 We can contact people around the world in seconds

00:24:03.960 where we used to have to rely on state-funded forms of communication, right?

00:24:11.180 And people in Ireland are really, really good at that.

00:24:13.700 It was how I rose to fame here a few years ago.

00:24:17.580 And as you saw here today, it's growing, it's growing by the day.

00:24:22.560 I can't even keep up with it.

00:24:23.840 So it's major in this country.

00:24:25.540 Well, congratulations on today.

00:24:27.000 Thanks for the hospitality.

00:24:28.220 And we'll let you go back to your people now.

00:24:29.740 Thanks for coming out, Ezra.

00:24:30.960 Feel like Ottawa's got its boot on Alberta's neck?

00:24:34.280 Well, it's time to push back.

00:24:35.920 Join us for Rebel News Live Saturday, June 14th,

00:24:39.420 at the Red Deer Curling Centre.

00:24:41.040 Spend the day with Ezra Levant, me, Sheila Gunn-Reed,

00:24:43.840 and a powerhouse lineup of freedom fighters, political thinkers,

00:24:47.900 and grassroots leaders.

00:24:49.400 We're talking energy, free speech, and especially independence, 0.86

00:24:52.940 and how the West can finally stop getting screwed.

00:24:56.240 This isn't just a conference. 0.85

00:24:58.020 It's a rallying cry.

00:24:59.420 Tickets are going fast.

00:25:00.700 Get yours now at donegettingscrewed.com.

00:25:04.400 Stand up, speak out, be there.

00:25:06.620 I mentioned earlier that Maliki Stinson talked to us.

00:25:08.740 We've spoken to him at several of these rallies.

00:25:11.380 He's on the City Council in Dublin,

00:25:13.180 and I think he may be headed for a higher office.

00:25:15.480 As I look across the crowd,

00:25:17.560 from the ground you can't actually see how big it is,

00:25:20.440 but from here you can.

00:25:22.700 And look at the sea of tricolors.

00:25:27.600 I think it's a great day for Cork.

00:25:29.860 We've obviously travelled down from the other end of the country,

00:25:32.060 from Dublin, there's people here from all over.

00:25:34.880 Good crowd for Cork,

00:25:36.560 and it's shown that right around this country

00:25:39.060 people are opposed to what the government is doing.

00:25:42.220 And, you know, for instance,

00:25:43.480 we had the Taoiseach,

00:25:45.040 Michal Martin,

00:25:46.120 saying that the Irish were Mongols.

00:25:48.380 Why did he say that?

00:25:49.600 Well, why did he say that?

00:25:51.700 Because he actually believes that.

00:25:53.020 He believes that the Irish people

00:25:54.560 are less than anybody else.

00:25:56.080 He believes in the destruction of this country.

00:25:58.200 And we have come here

00:25:59.000 to his home county of Cork.

00:26:00.700 Is this where he's from?

00:26:01.520 This is where he's from.

00:26:02.180 To send a message,

00:26:03.520 a very clear message to him

00:26:04.740 that we're not Mongols. 0.58

00:26:06.560 We're thoroughbreds.

00:26:07.900 Well, you are the indigenous people of this island.

00:26:12.060 And no other,

00:26:13.380 he would not be that disrespectful

00:26:15.360 to any other indigenous culture in the world.

00:26:18.380 No, and I mean,

00:26:19.760 even the political class here in this country

00:26:22.800 and the NGOs and all of them

00:26:24.320 feel it's okay to demonize

00:26:26.400 and ridicule anything to do with the Irish nation.

00:26:29.160 And they put that every other culture 1.00

00:26:32.920 that's in this country now

00:26:36.080 ahead of our culture

00:26:37.380 and that those cultures

00:26:38.440 are supposed to be more important

00:26:40.020 than our own culture.

00:26:41.440 And we reject that.

00:26:42.820 I don't want to take up too much of your time.

00:26:44.540 I know the march has moved forward,

00:26:46.320 but I just have one last question for you.

00:26:48.140 And it was about the counter protests today,

00:26:50.500 a little bit larger than we saw in Dublin,

00:26:52.740 which surprised me

00:26:53.360 because Dublin's the capital.

00:26:54.700 But there's a lot of NGOs

00:26:56.180 and I tried to get a read on them.

00:26:58.560 There was pro-Hamas. 0.59

00:27:00.480 There was Antifa.

00:27:02.380 There were government labor unions.

00:27:04.480 It seemed like a hodgepodge.

00:27:05.740 I even saw some global warming activists there.

00:27:08.320 Who were those counter protesters?

00:27:11.060 Well, they're the usual protesters

00:27:14.220 who are out every Saturday.

00:27:15.680 And, you know,

00:27:16.000 it's what will be protested about today.

00:27:18.340 And in order to get the size of the crowd they had,

00:27:20.680 they had to call it a Palestinian rally.

00:27:23.420 That's how you see so many there.

00:27:25.400 But it's all run by NGOs.

00:27:26.960 It's all run by people who are paid by the state

00:27:29.020 in one form or another.

00:27:30.820 But they got a real awakening

00:27:33.320 after our last rally in April

00:27:36.160 when they saw the 50,000 people

00:27:39.860 that we had on the street.

00:27:40.920 That was amazing.

00:27:41.820 The huge amount of tricolors.

00:27:43.880 And if you look at our rally today,

00:27:46.220 it's all tricolors.

00:27:47.200 A few county flags in there.

00:27:48.800 If you look at their rally,

00:27:50.400 they are now starting to try

00:27:52.120 and take back the tricolor.

00:27:53.320 But it's too late.

00:27:53.860 I counted like maybe three Irish flags

00:27:56.820 amongst the protesters.

00:27:58.100 There were dozens of Palestinian flags.

00:28:00.460 Let's go catch up to the march.

00:28:02.200 Thanks for talking with us.

00:28:03.240 We're back out on the 22nd of June.

00:28:06.880 It's a Sunday in Dublin

00:28:07.800 for a much bigger rally than the last one.

00:28:09.840 All right.

00:28:10.140 Well, we love covering it.

00:28:11.000 There he is, Malik Steenson,

00:28:12.500 city councillor in Dublin.

00:28:13.620 I don't know how many people showed up.

00:28:15.140 I asked the police officer.

00:28:16.600 He said the 3,000 were in the march.

00:28:19.200 I would estimate there were 200 people

00:28:20.700 in the countermarch.

00:28:21.520 So that was overwhelming.

00:28:23.640 There may have been many more in the march.

00:28:25.420 There may be 5,000.

00:28:26.360 Sometimes police have a little bit

00:28:27.900 of a political spoon with their number.

00:28:29.620 But it was an impressive march

00:28:30.860 for, again, a group with no media backing,

00:28:34.140 no political mainstream backing,

00:28:37.040 really no money.

00:28:38.480 And I think something is cooking in Ireland.

00:28:40.940 And that's why I come out here.

00:28:42.180 Because when was the last time

00:28:44.320 you saw a rally of normal people

00:28:46.340 against mass immigration in Canada?

00:28:49.020 I never have.

00:28:49.780 And to have rallies and movements

00:28:52.940 and marches pretty much every week in Ireland,

00:28:55.980 that goes to the Irish character of rebellion

00:28:58.720 and not taking things lying down.

00:29:00.480 There is a rebellious spirit to the Ireland.

00:29:04.600 What's so strange to me is that the left

00:29:06.700 doesn't feel that instinct

00:29:09.140 when they see hundreds of thousands

00:29:12.340 of fake migrants coming into the country.

00:29:13.940 I had an interesting conversation

00:29:15.720 with one man who said

00:29:17.400 that this country opened its arms

00:29:18.740 to Ukrainian refugees, which is true. 0.98

00:29:21.200 It took about 100,000,

00:29:22.440 which originally would be like,

00:29:24.400 can't take the immediate opponents.

00:29:26.740 But using the goodwill

00:29:29.260 of Ukrainian refugees,

00:29:31.020 they brought in hundreds of thousands

00:29:32.360 of other fake refugees too. 0.73

00:29:34.260 Here's what he had to say.

00:29:35.360 Tell me that again.

00:29:36.280 I said, put them in your house, 1.00

00:29:37.840 you bunch of bums. 1.00

00:29:39.600 And you mean the refugees? 0.98

00:29:41.180 Absolutely.

00:29:41.600 No, them, the earliest communists, right,

00:29:45.040 that think Ireland, right,

00:29:46.840 should just take in everybody, right?

00:29:48.900 They go on about toxic masculinity

00:29:51.180 and yet they want the country to be destroyed

00:29:53.880 and sink under the weight of financial strain.

00:29:58.280 And, you know what I mean,

00:29:59.000 and then have people come in here

00:30:00.460 that aren't fed up the whole lot. 1.00

00:30:01.880 They're a bunch of lunatics. 0.98

00:30:03.720 Where did you come in from? 1.00

00:30:04.620 Are you from Cork?

00:30:05.760 Sorry, we came up from Dublin.

00:30:07.280 We came down from Dublin to support Cork

00:30:09.120 because there's been lots of protests

00:30:11.220 up in Dublin over the years

00:30:12.560 and all the other counties

00:30:13.920 have always showed up for Dublin.

00:30:15.860 So we always try our best

00:30:17.200 and, you know,

00:30:18.600 help all the other counties out

00:30:19.780 because all the counties in Ireland

00:30:21.380 are all under attack.

00:30:22.600 This is a plantation

00:30:23.400 that's happening in Ireland.

00:30:25.160 It's engineered.

00:30:26.460 It's not organic.

00:30:27.940 They used the Ukraine war.

00:30:30.680 You go back to the start

00:30:31.720 of the Ukraine war

00:30:32.780 and for the first few months then

00:30:34.800 they started increasing massively

00:30:36.780 the amount of other people coming in.

00:30:39.220 So on the back of the compassion

00:30:41.120 for the Ukrainian people

00:30:42.520 they started bringing everybody else in.

00:30:45.140 So it's completely engineered.

00:30:46.700 It's a fabrication.

00:30:48.060 They're doing it.

00:30:48.760 They want Ireland to be planted.

00:30:50.180 They want the Irish people 1.00

00:30:51.680 to become a minority 0.74

00:30:53.160 so the corporations will gain all

00:30:55.720 the resources.

00:30:59.220 I enjoyed my comments

00:31:00.900 and my chit-chats

00:31:01.740 with some of the people

00:31:02.400 in the crowd.

00:31:03.000 Here's a few more of them.

00:31:03.960 It's Irish news.

00:31:05.540 It's Canadian news.

00:31:06.400 What's your name?

00:31:07.080 Canadian.

00:31:08.260 What do you reckon

00:31:09.240 is going on here?

00:31:10.100 I'm trying to figure it out.

00:31:11.220 What do you think is going on?

00:31:12.360 Did you come down

00:31:12.920 for one of the protests? 1.00

00:31:14.080 Have one look at these mad cunts 1.00

00:31:16.080 and then have one look 1.00

00:31:17.800 at the Republicans

00:31:18.600 and then you'll be able

00:31:20.240 to make out your mark.

00:31:21.720 Which side are you on?

00:31:23.620 Republican.

00:31:24.860 And what do you think

00:31:25.960 of mass immigration to Ireland?

00:31:27.980 Were you born here

00:31:28.860 or do you come here from...

00:31:29.900 If they want to come here

00:31:30.760 they can pay a hefty tax 1.00

00:31:32.320 so they can fuck off. 1.00

00:31:34.160 All right. 1.00

00:31:34.440 Nice meeting you.

00:31:35.400 There you go.

00:31:35.840 Another point of view

00:31:36.740 here in the Grand Parade of Cork.

00:31:39.140 I'll have more reports

00:31:40.020 at migrantreports.com.

00:31:41.680 I was born in this town.

00:31:43.300 My father was a merchant here.

00:31:45.200 He had many friends,

00:31:46.540 Jewish friends who were merchants

00:31:47.880 and he would turn in his grave

00:31:49.540 if he saw the town today

00:31:50.800 with the Palestinian marches

00:31:54.100 every day

00:31:54.520 and the Hamas flag.

00:31:55.620 They're flying.

00:31:56.420 There is no Palestinian state.

00:31:58.740 Hamas rules Gaza. 0.76

00:32:00.860 You know.

00:32:01.380 And the Jews are absolutely 1.00

00:32:02.660 shocked in America

00:32:04.420 about what's going on.

00:32:05.340 I think it's an absolute disgrace

00:32:06.960 and I'm ashamed

00:32:08.100 of my own people today.

00:32:09.800 Well don't be ashamed

00:32:10.600 of your own people

00:32:11.580 because every Irish person

00:32:13.540 is their own individual.

00:32:15.000 And I'm Jewish

00:32:16.400 as you may know

00:32:17.200 and I have nothing but love

00:32:19.020 and in fact I bumped into

00:32:20.560 sort of a little Nazi guy

00:32:22.060 named Justin Barrett

00:32:24.380 and he said some shocking

00:32:26.020 things to me

00:32:26.520 and a hundred people here

00:32:27.900 sort of apologised to me

00:32:29.660 for him

00:32:30.120 and I know that's not

00:32:31.340 all of Ireland.

00:32:32.120 I know.

00:32:32.420 I mean listen

00:32:32.900 I come from Toronto

00:32:33.660 there's anti-semitism there.

00:32:34.940 They take over the streets

00:32:35.920 every Saturday.

00:32:36.680 I don't like that either.

00:32:37.480 And ruin merchants

00:32:38.740 you know

00:32:39.360 businesses.

00:32:40.660 Let's get up the street.

00:32:41.500 I'm just kind of

00:32:43.280 fairly sad.

00:32:44.480 I'm 74 years of age.

00:32:46.580 I've worked in all

00:32:47.620 the Jewish hospitals

00:32:48.540 in New York

00:32:49.280 in Montefiore

00:32:50.880 Albert Einstein's

00:32:52.740 and I

00:32:54.180 the Jewish doctors

00:32:55.480 are just tremendous

00:32:56.260 they contributed

00:32:57.000 the American

00:32:58.640 Jews in America

00:33:00.900 made the 20th century

00:33:02.800 in America.

00:33:03.820 Well I thank you

00:33:04.380 for your friendly words

00:33:05.180 and I will

00:33:06.440 show your words

00:33:07.460 to the world

00:33:08.060 because I do not want

00:33:09.700 Ireland to be labelled

00:33:11.420 as anti-semitic.

00:33:12.540 There are some people

00:33:13.540 the activists

00:33:14.420 we've been talking about

00:33:15.480 who are

00:33:15.880 but I think

00:33:16.660 the ordinary Irish person

00:33:17.960 just wants to have

00:33:19.200 an independent country

00:33:20.940 that they love.

00:33:22.360 I just

00:33:23.180 well

00:33:23.960 you know

00:33:24.800 I'm not sure about today

00:33:26.680 but I remember

00:33:27.760 when I came to America

00:33:28.860 in 77

00:33:29.560 right

00:33:30.320 I was a cruiser

00:33:31.640 and I worked

00:33:32.560 in Montefiore Hospital

00:33:33.500 in the Bronx

00:33:33.980 all the doctors

00:33:35.160 were Jewish

00:33:35.620 it was a Jewish hospital

00:33:36.540 and the first thing

00:33:37.560 they said to me

00:33:38.260 was

00:33:38.840 we're going to Dublin

00:33:40.200 next week

00:33:40.860 we're meeting

00:33:41.440 Mayor Briscoe

00:33:42.220 who was Jewish

00:33:42.940 and

00:33:43.940 Goldberg

00:33:46.280 was already

00:33:46.820 gone in Cork

00:33:47.680 and they said

00:33:48.860 they went to Ireland

00:33:50.140 there was a big conference

00:33:52.180 a urology conference

00:33:53.300 on in Dublin

00:33:53.880 they all went

00:33:54.680 loads of

00:33:55.780 Jewish doctors

00:33:56.580 all together

00:33:57.080 and they had

00:33:57.940 a fabulous time

00:33:58.860 they were received

00:33:59.780 in the mayor's mansion

00:34:00.940 in the Aarhus

00:34:02.100 and everything like that

00:34:03.120 and

00:34:03.960 now

00:34:04.820 today

00:34:05.420 that would never happen

00:34:06.940 we're regressing

00:34:08.100 and we're reaching

00:34:09.800 I would say

00:34:10.680 like

00:34:11.000 what

00:34:11.640 the Jews went through 0.59

00:34:13.340 I'd say

00:34:13.860 in 1939

00:34:14.640 well God forbid

00:34:15.580 it won't go any further

00:34:16.480 the guy there

00:34:17.360 he just called me 1.00

00:34:18.620 Nazi scum 1.00

00:34:19.360 in front of the guard 1.00

00:34:20.240 alright

00:34:20.540 I said 1.00

00:34:21.560 you want to kill 1.00

00:34:22.540 all the Jews 1.00

00:34:23.280 and you're calling me 0.98

00:34:24.380 a Nazi 0.56

00:34:24.840 no the thing is

00:34:26.460 the thing is

00:34:27.200 about all these people

00:34:28.040 here in Ireland

00:34:28.700 in Ireland

00:34:29.680 we can say nothing

00:34:31.320 but these people here

00:34:32.540 can say what they want

00:34:33.340 they can sing and dance

00:34:34.300 and

00:34:35.040 and our Taoiseach

00:34:36.780 can call us mongrels

00:34:38.300 yeah that was really weird

00:34:40.080 the Prime Minister of Ireland

00:34:41.560 was disparaging

00:34:42.560 ethnic Irish

00:34:43.880 the Prime Minister of Ireland 0.76

00:34:45.020 is not only a mongrel 1.00

00:34:46.480 he's an imbecile 1.00

00:34:47.280 and 1.00

00:34:48.560 people to say

00:34:49.280 come out

00:34:50.160 actually come out here today

00:34:51.640 and confront the people

00:34:52.920 of Ireland

00:34:53.620 and to say what he said

00:34:55.140 to insult the Irish nation

00:34:56.740 glad to be here

00:34:57.600 where did you come in from

00:34:58.520 County

00:34:58.920 what does that say

00:34:59.820 County Wiglow

00:35:00.280 County Wiglow

00:35:01.100 Dwight and Blaston

00:35:01.940 Dublin man myself

00:35:03.360 but my girlfriend's from Wiglow

00:35:04.320 so

00:35:04.540 we're down here representing Wiglow

00:35:06.060 supporting the people of Cork

00:35:07.480 you know

00:35:07.780 there's a lot of counter protesters

00:35:09.840 more than I thought

00:35:10.820 is that the nature of Cork

00:35:12.600 pretty much yeah

00:35:13.740 pretty much

00:35:14.600 this is like a home base

00:35:15.640 for them down here

00:35:16.220 so

00:35:16.420 but look

00:35:17.600 they're all soulless people

00:35:18.820 they need something

00:35:19.420 to hold on to together

00:35:20.160 so that's why they're 0.99

00:35:20.760 fucking all marching 0.99

00:35:21.440 down here together 1.00

00:35:21.860 you have nothing else

00:35:22.400 to believe in

00:35:22.920 I think you're right

00:35:24.420 I mean

00:35:24.720 the choice of flags

00:35:26.140 tells a lot

00:35:27.340 I mean

00:35:28.160 they have more Palestinian flags

00:35:29.760 and more union flags

00:35:30.840 and like labour union

00:35:32.000 and more transgender flags

00:35:33.640 than they have Irish flags 0.98

00:35:35.000 it's mental

00:35:35.500 this protest was organised

00:35:37.240 to counter protest

00:35:37.960 all the government policies

00:35:39.060 and stuff like that

00:35:39.660 and all

00:35:39.840 and then these 1.00

00:35:40.600 bastards show up here 1.00

00:35:42.060 to counter protest us 1.00

00:35:43.700 but

00:35:44.660 they're against government policies

00:35:46.220 as well

00:35:46.520 so why don't they stand out here

00:35:47.540 with us as well

00:35:48.040 you know

00:35:48.280 it doesn't make sense

00:35:49.860 it's just all about

00:35:50.460 division and all

00:35:51.160 it's 1.00

00:35:51.460 stupid people 1.00

00:35:52.900 as I said 1.00

00:35:53.360 soulless people

00:35:54.020 they need something

00:35:54.500 to hold on to

00:35:55.100 so

00:35:55.240 that's all it is

00:35:56.280 what's happening

00:35:56.780 the pure lunacy

00:35:58.400 that's happening

00:35:58.900 in the country

00:35:59.580 it's absolutely crazy

00:36:01.480 why is it happening

00:36:02.780 money

00:36:04.780 money

00:36:06.360 and the EU

00:36:07.520 forcing us

00:36:10.020 further out

00:36:11.060 into the Atlantic

00:36:11.760 just sinking us

00:36:12.740 the whole time

00:36:13.280 I saw a strange thing

00:36:14.700 the other day

00:36:15.200 your Prime Minister

00:36:16.020 sort of agreed

00:36:17.460 with the statement 0.93

00:36:18.160 that Irish are mongrels 1.00

00:36:19.940 which is a very 0.99

00:36:21.080 harsh word

00:36:22.500 and it suggests

00:36:23.840 that you're not

00:36:24.720 a true

00:36:25.800 indigenous people

00:36:27.320 and I'm trying to

00:36:28.640 wrap my head around that

00:36:29.820 why would he denigrate

00:36:31.520 the Irish ethnicity

00:36:33.120 my take is on it

00:36:34.820 that

00:36:35.040 they're trying to put

00:36:36.680 get the

00:36:38.000 men of Ireland

00:36:38.900 the men and women of Ireland

00:36:40.080 that will speak up

00:36:41.540 to get them

00:36:42.760 to actually fight back

00:36:44.460 and

00:36:45.660 smoke them out

00:36:47.020 and like have a

00:36:47.480 provocation

00:36:48.460 yeah yeah yeah

00:36:49.480 enticing

00:36:50.280 trying to

00:36:51.000 provoke us

00:36:51.900 I think he's trying to

00:36:52.740 demoralize the country

00:36:54.120 when you say

00:36:55.260 when you say something

00:36:56.840 like the Irish 0.99

00:36:57.620 are mongrels 0.97

00:36:58.200 that's something 0.94

00:36:58.840 an anti-Irish person

00:37:00.800 would say

00:37:01.240 I can't

00:37:01.860 I don't understand

00:37:02.700 why the boss

00:37:03.380 would say that

00:37:04.000 why can he

00:37:04.900 he's not the boss

00:37:06.120 right the Prime Minister

00:37:07.220 I shouldn't say the boss

00:37:08.000 he thinks he's the boss

00:37:09.060 yeah yeah

00:37:09.560 he was never voted in

00:37:11.520 right they have some

00:37:13.180 deal there

00:37:13.700 give me a word on

00:37:15.020 Conor McGregor

00:37:15.800 is he for real

00:37:16.780 that's a big debate

00:37:19.920 he's

00:37:20.960 he done something

00:37:21.760 for us

00:37:22.360 in America

00:37:23.180 where is he since

00:37:24.660 what has he done

00:37:25.840 I don't know

00:37:26.360 you see that's the problem

00:37:27.420 that is the problem

00:37:28.520 we won't think

00:37:29.400 he's his own problems

00:37:30.460 going on

00:37:30.940 it's a pity that

00:37:31.980 that was going on

00:37:33.180 in his life

00:37:33.780 at the same time

00:37:34.640 he could have been

00:37:35.700 a man for Ireland

00:37:36.640 if he

00:37:37.040 if that wasn't going on

00:37:38.480 in my hometown

00:37:39.720 and what do you make

00:37:40.700 of today

00:37:41.180 there's two opposing camps

00:37:42.580 well I'm with

00:37:44.080 the Irish

00:37:44.940 I can tell you're

00:37:46.040 holding an Irish flag

00:37:47.000 yeah

00:37:47.500 the other side

00:37:48.880 very few Irish flags

00:37:50.940 on the other side

00:37:51.720 why is that

00:37:52.220 corners 0.64

00:37:52.640 lesbians 0.93

00:37:53.980 and maybe even

00:37:56.620 some foreign lesbians 0.88

00:37:57.840 well wait a minute 0.98

00:37:59.380 which flag is this

00:38:02.560 oh the Trump flag

00:38:03.640 yeah

00:38:04.020 who's the Trump of Ireland

00:38:05.860 what do you think

00:38:07.240 of Conor McGregor

00:38:08.080 I think Conor McGregor

00:38:09.420 is very good

00:38:10.200 but the government

00:38:11.020 tried to frame him

00:38:12.160 well do you think

00:38:13.480 do you think he'll

00:38:14.240 actually run

00:38:15.040 is it possible

00:38:15.920 that he will

00:38:16.440 I hope he does

00:38:17.000 for our Canadian viewers

00:38:25.420 tell me what that means

00:38:26.360 it means

00:38:27.240 up the Irish Republic

00:38:28.200 and is

00:38:29.440 what would that side

00:38:30.540 say to that chant

00:38:31.640 we don't care really

00:38:33.340 we don't really care

00:38:34.540 what they say

00:38:35.080 they're all Irish

00:38:37.100 Irish people

00:38:37.540 alright

00:38:37.800 and they're

00:38:38.980 fighting

00:38:39.800 they're waving flags

00:38:41.260 of a country

00:38:41.940 that they have

00:38:42.940 no association with

00:38:44.320 why do they do that

00:38:45.260 I have no idea

00:38:46.440 like you can be

00:38:47.500 you can criticise Ireland

00:38:49.440 but still love it

00:38:50.780 if you understand

00:38:51.520 what I mean

00:38:51.960 you can be a loyal opposition

00:38:53.640 I have no problem

00:38:54.700 with Palestine

00:38:55.380 no no I'm saying

00:38:57.240 you can be an Irish person

00:38:59.440 criticising Ireland

00:39:01.060 but still wave

00:39:02.040 the Irish flag

00:39:02.900 why don't they do that

00:39:04.200 I don't know

00:39:05.180 why don't you go over

00:39:05.840 and ask them

00:39:06.380 well they won't talk to me

00:39:07.340 because we're over here

00:39:08.700 right

00:39:09.040 and we're representing

00:39:10.160 our country

00:39:10.800 from a mass immigration 0.97

00:39:12.900 right

00:39:13.340 and there's illegal immigrants

00:39:14.860 coming in

00:39:15.300 ripping up their passports

00:39:16.540 yeah

00:39:16.820 and they're getting

00:39:17.760 into our country

00:39:18.540 we're only here

00:39:19.920 to just defend

00:39:20.580 what's the end game

00:39:21.560 how long will it go on for

00:39:23.520 what we're here

00:39:24.340 is for our own people

00:39:27.080 that are living

00:39:27.720 on the streets

00:39:28.340 alright

00:39:28.640 and they're saying 1.00

00:39:30.200 Nazi scum 1.00

00:39:31.040 we're not Nazis 1.00

00:39:32.320 those people are also

00:39:33.800 not thinking about

00:39:34.460 what it's going to be like

00:39:35.160 in 20 or 30 years

00:39:36.200 they're only thinking

00:39:37.060 about the now

00:39:37.620 what's it going to be like

00:39:39.000 in 30 years

00:39:39.660 is anyone thinking

00:39:40.760 of the future

00:39:41.240 it's important

00:39:42.120 for Kerry

00:39:43.240 and what brings you out today

00:39:45.680 well these people over here

00:39:47.080 they're talking about

00:39:47.700 bringing all these people

00:39:48.460 into the country

00:39:49.020 but none of them

00:39:49.640 are putting them up

00:39:50.260 do you know what I mean

00:39:50.880 so who has to deal with it

00:39:51.840 us

00:39:52.080 just because they say so

00:39:53.160 that's not right

00:39:53.620 it's not fair

00:39:54.160 like I'm 27

00:39:55.340 still living at home

00:39:56.200 can't find a place to rent

00:39:57.260 like where are we going

00:39:58.140 to put these people

00:39:58.840 I mean it's a disgrace

00:40:00.240 I don't have enough words

00:40:02.280 to put into what's wrong

00:40:03.800 with this country

00:40:04.680 at the moment

00:40:05.440 what's very very wrong

00:40:07.620 with it

00:40:08.020 I'm trying to get a measure

00:40:09.400 of how many people are here

00:40:10.580 do you think that

00:40:11.980 it's larger than the media

00:40:13.700 give credit for

00:40:14.780 100%

00:40:15.720 because we all know

00:40:16.980 that lie TV

00:40:17.880 cannot count

00:40:18.860 they all need to go back

00:40:20.640 to school

00:40:21.240 and count properly

00:40:22.840 Michael Leigh

00:40:23.520 I'm the Irish Freedom Party

00:40:24.680 chairman

00:40:25.160 I'm very well

00:40:26.540 thanks very well

00:40:27.140 and I have to apologise

00:40:28.200 for the way you were treated

00:40:29.200 by Mr

00:40:29.620 don't say another word

00:40:31.100 about it

00:40:31.500 you know what

00:40:32.660 thank you for saying that

00:40:33.600 it didn't hurt my feelings

00:40:34.780 I was more startled

00:40:35.940 than anything

00:40:36.500 I've met hundreds

00:40:38.060 of Irish people

00:40:38.780 and I know what they're like

00:40:39.740 and I feel very welcome here

00:40:41.600 what's happening

00:40:43.020 in Ireland now

00:40:43.620 is we feel

00:40:44.060 our population

00:40:44.540 is being replaced

00:40:45.280 with mass migration

00:40:46.040 and there's no question

00:40:46.880 or doubt about that

00:40:47.480 there always has been

00:40:48.720 a strain

00:40:49.260 in the Irish establishment

00:40:50.200 of disdain for Irish culture

00:40:51.800 and I think you're witnessing

00:40:53.060 that again

00:40:53.600 in our present government

00:40:54.480 where the Taoiseach

00:40:55.720 was at a conference

00:40:56.460 there last week

00:40:57.180 where Irish people

00:40:57.960 were described as Mongols

00:40:59.300 I just heard the other

00:41:00.260 you know

00:41:01.300 to denigrate your own people

00:41:03.340 is so suicidal

00:41:06.120 and instead of condemning that

00:41:07.920 he thought

00:41:08.500 well the Irish people

00:41:09.420 are always hybrid

00:41:09.980 he more or less agreed with it

00:41:11.580 so it's a process

00:41:12.920 of demoralisation

00:41:14.080 of the people

00:41:14.720 of their history

00:41:15.840 their culture

00:41:16.620 their traditions

00:41:18.000 and their race

00:41:18.900 and that's how

00:41:19.960 the left will always operate

00:41:21.140 I just

00:41:21.860 I gave a speech there

00:41:23.160 some time ago

00:41:23.800 a man came up to me

00:41:25.000 Arabic in the meaner 0.99

00:41:26.480 shook my hand

00:41:27.540 he said

00:41:27.800 I'm a Lebanese Christian

00:41:28.760 and 50 years ago

00:41:30.140 we saw our people

00:41:30.980 being annihilated

00:41:31.640 and being exterminated 0.99

00:41:32.520 oh yeah

00:41:32.920 Lebanon used to be

00:41:34.080 a Christian country

00:41:34.740 centuries ago

00:41:35.860 Egypt was a Christian country

00:41:37.540 that's right

00:41:38.000 all of North Africa

00:41:38.840 was Christian

00:41:39.340 but in Lebanon

00:41:40.340 in particular

00:41:40.940 I remember it happening

00:41:42.560 we could see these people

00:41:43.480 being wiped out

00:41:44.220 and the world

00:41:44.740 did nothing about it

00:41:45.560 and we'd be very 0.97

00:41:46.820 very foolish 0.99

00:41:47.680 in Western Europe 1.00

00:41:49.080 not to think

00:41:49.740 that the same thing

00:41:50.340 would happen to us

00:41:50.960 because what is happening

00:41:52.180 is the left

00:41:53.320 has allied with

00:41:54.400 radical Islam 0.85

00:41:55.280 the left is deeply 0.91

00:41:56.480 anti-Christian 0.77

00:41:57.080 and so is radical Islam

00:41:58.240 well demographics

00:41:59.400 is destiny

00:42:00.320 yes demographics

00:42:01.320 is destiny

00:42:01.980 Irish people

00:42:03.200 can't afford their children

00:42:04.200 because they're paying

00:42:04.760 high taxes

00:42:05.200 to support immigrant populations

00:42:06.380 it's absolutely ridiculous 0.95

00:42:07.600 immigrant populations 0.97

00:42:08.780 are coming in here

00:42:09.480 they're getting freebies

00:42:10.300 they're getting free housing

00:42:11.200 and they're having

00:42:11.880 five or six kids

00:42:12.660 that's only going

00:42:13.560 in one direction

00:42:14.080 this is not a replacement

00:42:15.480 theory

00:42:15.920 this is an absolute

00:42:17.120 mathematical certainty

00:42:18.160 and that's

00:42:19.080 it's going to happen

00:42:19.700 within 15 to 20 years

00:42:20.920 at the outside

00:42:21.640 that we'll be a minority

00:42:23.040 so that's what we're here

00:42:24.420 to try to stop

00:42:25.000 all right

00:42:25.420 well just lots of

00:42:26.240 interesting points of view

00:42:27.360 you know

00:42:28.080 I

00:42:29.500 it's a different

00:42:31.080 it's a different spirit here

00:42:32.240 I mean remember

00:42:32.740 this country

00:42:33.420 had an armed revolution

00:42:35.720 a century ago

00:42:36.740 which is not that long ago

00:42:38.340 in the sweep of time

00:42:39.300 and the troubles

00:42:40.240 and the troubles

00:42:41.260 in Northern Ireland

00:42:42.160 were only a generation ago

00:42:44.180 so it's a peaceful

00:42:45.940 multi-party democracy

00:42:47.200 it's true

00:42:47.820 but there is that spirit

00:42:49.320 of rebellion

00:42:49.800 and Cork

00:42:50.400 is the rebel county

00:42:51.880 as they call themselves

00:42:52.880 these are feisty people

00:42:55.480 which is why

00:42:56.200 I think

00:42:56.860 they've been the most energetic

00:42:58.300 in pushing back

00:42:59.400 against mass immigration 0.97

00:43:00.440 I dared to challenge them

00:43:02.300 the system

00:43:03.300 but they forgot one thing

00:43:05.700 they can jail me

00:43:07.420 they can even try and silence

00:43:09.660 Michelle Keane

00:43:10.560 but they will never defeat

00:43:12.380 the Irish people

00:43:13.560 I have been doing

00:43:16.180 very peaceful protests

00:43:17.460 for the last two years

00:43:18.520 against this EU migration pact

00:43:21.260 of all these

00:43:22.540 unvetted male migrants

00:43:23.780 coming in

00:43:24.420 to this country

00:43:25.340 they're flooding our country

00:43:26.460 and you know

00:43:27.600 we want them out

00:43:28.520 you know

00:43:29.240 I mean

00:43:29.560 they're invading our country

00:43:30.700 our crime rate

00:43:31.960 has gone up

00:43:32.420 and everything

00:43:32.840 and I was

00:43:35.000 myself

00:43:35.840 I ran

00:43:36.560 in the general election

00:43:37.760 and I was

00:43:38.900 falsely

00:43:39.640 and unlawfully

00:43:40.380 imprisoned

00:43:40.800 by the Irish state

00:43:41.920 for something

00:43:42.540 you posted online

00:43:43.520 I posted

00:43:44.540 I posted online

00:43:47.320 a conversation

00:43:49.000 that my daughter

00:43:49.760 had recorded

00:43:51.180 in relation

00:43:52.480 to a police woman 0.84

00:43:53.960 in Ireland

00:43:54.520 and

00:43:55.540 they

00:43:57.240 then brought

00:43:58.020 a case

00:43:59.020 against me

00:43:59.740 through the courts

00:44:00.460 a defamation case

00:44:01.620 and everything

00:44:02.300 but

00:44:03.060 I then was

00:44:04.840 you know

00:44:05.640 given a gagging order

00:44:07.020 and I obeyed

00:44:08.440 that gagging order 1.00

00:44:09.220 and then

00:44:10.080 on election day

00:44:11.340 when

00:44:12.440 you know

00:44:12.860 when I should be

00:44:13.860 happy about

00:44:15.100 you know

00:44:15.380 going around my business

00:44:16.320 when I was running

00:44:17.200 for election

00:44:17.660 I got

00:44:18.680 an email

00:44:19.740 from

00:44:20.120 from a solicitor

00:44:21.560 saying that they were

00:44:22.440 going to jail me 0.70

00:44:23.340 in two weeks time

00:44:24.160 this was

00:44:24.920 for what

00:44:25.280 was it for contempt of court

00:44:26.680 for contempt of court

00:44:27.640 for a crime

00:44:28.900 I didn't commit

00:44:29.540 it sounds sort of like

00:44:30.400 what happened to

00:44:30.880 Tommy Robinson

00:44:31.480 yes exactly

00:44:32.600 but like

00:44:33.540 Tommy Robinson

00:44:34.280 like myself

00:44:35.020 we're very similar

00:44:36.060 we've told the truth

00:44:37.120 you know

00:44:37.980 and we've been

00:44:38.880 imprisoned

00:44:39.420 I was imprisoned

00:44:40.520 a mother of two

00:44:41.420 a week before Christmas

00:44:42.820 I was the only one

00:44:44.040 in the history

00:44:44.540 of the Irish state

00:44:45.280 to be sent

00:44:46.180 to Limerick

00:44:46.800 female prison 0.99

00:44:47.700 in the country

00:44:48.760 for contempt of court

00:44:50.020 well I'm done

00:44:50.980 it's time to head back

00:44:51.820 to Canada

00:44:52.320 we left

00:44:53.280 to Canada

00:44:53.780 Friday night

00:44:54.760 flew all night

00:44:55.860 landed in London

00:44:56.660 switched planes

00:44:57.400 came here to Cork

00:44:58.440 and now we're going

00:44:59.140 back to the airport

00:44:59.760 we're not even

00:45:01.000 spending the night

00:45:01.660 in Cork

00:45:02.220 we're flying to London

00:45:03.240 and then home

00:45:04.140 from London

00:45:05.080 I'm going to Toronto

00:45:06.120 Sid

00:45:06.460 our videographer

00:45:07.020 is going to Calgary

00:45:07.720 I always enjoy these

00:45:10.080 for a number of reasons

00:45:10.760 first of all

00:45:11.240 I admire the Irish people

00:45:12.400 in fact I sort of love them

00:45:13.440 second of all

00:45:14.480 I love the spirit

00:45:15.500 of their rebellion

00:45:16.520 against their tyrant masters

00:45:19.420 third of all

00:45:20.660 I feel like I'm learning

00:45:21.560 about immigration crises

00:45:22.900 around the world

00:45:23.620 and fourth of all

00:45:24.580 maybe there's some things

00:45:25.980 about how to counter protest

00:45:28.220 that Canadians can pick up

00:45:30.260 from Ireland

00:45:30.800 I know it's a very interesting thing

00:45:32.480 and one of the things

00:45:33.980 that feels so good about it

00:45:35.320 is how valued it appears

00:45:37.480 to be by the Irish themselves

00:45:39.100 I think that I must have had

00:45:41.580 200 hellos today

00:45:42.760 and probably at least 50 selfies

00:45:44.760 with people

00:45:45.740 and it's not because of my

00:45:47.120 scintillating personality

00:45:48.260 or good looks

00:45:48.880 it's because the work we do

00:45:50.500 fills a gap left

00:45:51.500 by the mainstream media

00:45:52.560 just like it does in Canada

00:45:54.040 but it's even worse

00:45:55.160 in Ireland

00:45:55.700 because it's smaller

00:45:56.660 and so it's a smaller

00:45:58.220 clique and club

00:45:59.180 in the media party

00:46:00.060 so back to Canada

00:46:01.700 I go

00:46:02.240 and believe

00:46:03.600 we'll be covering

00:46:04.140 immigration in Canada

00:46:05.320 the Conservative Party

00:46:07.380 of Canada

00:46:07.780 is not bad

00:46:08.640 on immigration

00:46:09.320 but I think they need

00:46:10.020 to get a lot tougher

00:46:10.760 and frankly if they do

00:46:11.920 that may be the way

00:46:13.360 they win the next election

00:46:14.440 for Rebel News

00:46:15.900 in the second city

00:46:17.100 of Ireland

00:46:17.540 called Cork

00:46:18.340 the Rebel County 0.95

00:46:19.680 I'm Ezra Levant

00:46:21.120 until next time

00:46:22.000 be happy with Rebel

00:46:23.520 to you and all

00:46:24.020 good nights

00:46:24.500 keep fighting for freedom
