The Tucker Carlson Show - Conor McGregor’s Presidential Bid, Tariffs, Erasing Irish Culture, and Deporting Rosie O’Donnell

00:00:00.320 Conor McGregor, thanks a lot for having us.

00:00:02.740 This is one of the great, Dublin's one of the great cities in the world, for sure.

00:00:05.800 For sure. The best city in the world.

00:00:08.120 You know, you can make a claim to that.

00:00:09.840 You know, walk around Dublin for a day and then, you know, think of five better cities.

00:00:13.760 Not possible.

00:00:15.600 It's an amazing place. It's an amazing country.

00:00:17.320 How's the country doing?

00:00:18.940 You know, like a lot of countries in the Western sphere,

00:00:23.300 it is being governed by, you know, people with ill intentions of its people.

00:00:27.460 Yes.

00:00:27.680 And, you know, they have not got the interests of their people at its heart.

00:00:31.940 However, our country stays strong.

00:00:34.320 Our people are strong-willed, strong-minded, and we are of amazing spirit.

00:00:39.640 And it's about highlighting the issues that are going on.

00:00:42.620 And as we have been doing, it's turning.

00:00:45.120 We will get there.

00:00:46.140 I am not going to sit here in front of you with a doom and gloom about the things that are going wrong.

00:00:51.100 I will highlight for sure, but I will highlight the solutions and the resolutions

00:00:56.240 and where we are headed and keep the outlook positive.

00:01:01.040 Yes.

00:01:01.300 That is what has worked for me my entire life and my entire career,

00:01:04.360 where I was able to rise up and do things that were once considered unattainable.

00:01:09.520 Yes.

00:01:09.940 You know, I kept a positive outlook.

00:01:11.340 That's what I will urge my citizens and my countrymen, my fellow countrymen and women to do.

00:01:16.540 And that's what we are doing.

00:01:17.840 You know, we had a great moment in the Oval Office with President Trump where we got to speak,

00:01:24.340 and before the press in the White House where we got to speak our case.

00:01:27.980 It was the first time it had happened in our history, really, where we felt as a people,

00:01:35.700 someone spoke up about our issues.

00:01:37.380 We often hear, and very hastily, hear about overseas issues or foreign affairs,

00:01:45.280 and we hear about it so much that we are left scratching our head.

00:01:50.480 Well, what about our issues?

00:01:52.440 Exactly.

00:01:53.260 What about the issues the people of Ireland face?

00:01:55.760 And that is a rising sentiment that is taking place behind the doors of every household in the country.

00:02:03.500 What about us?

00:02:05.220 And right now, the citizens of Ireland, not only do we not feel like first-rate citizens,

00:02:11.700 we don't even feel third-rate citizens in our own country.

00:02:15.140 So, you know, we continue to highlight the wrongdoings of a minute government elite,

00:02:21.380 and it is minute, you know, on what they are doing.

00:02:24.920 You know, they are using intimidation tactics, they are using bullying tactics,

00:02:28.760 they are using diversion tactics, they are using public funds and public wealth

00:02:34.460 to enrich private people and private industries to alter the thinking of the public.

00:02:43.900 And we say no more, and we are in the midst of highlighting it and continuing our motion towards the betterment of our country

00:02:53.140 and the saving of our great country.

00:02:55.480 Ireland is God's country, and you will not go against the nation of Ireland.

00:02:59.820 We are peaceful, we are not harmless, and we will continue this journey onward.

00:03:04.900 We are peaceful, we are not harmless.

00:03:07.460 Fact.

00:03:08.260 Amen.

00:03:08.880 You could be describing the United States in everything you just said,

00:03:12.560 that all the conversations about foreign policy in our country, it's about the Middle East, who cares?

00:03:17.760 Eastern Europe, double who cares? 1.00

00:03:19.680 And very little about what's happening to the people of our country.

00:03:23.560 And you feel that here.

00:03:24.520 That is, I feel it's even magnified the more here.

00:03:29.300 I feel in this administration currently in the United States, it seems an America first stance.

00:03:36.740 Yes.

00:03:36.920 And it's a very welcome sight for us over here.

00:03:39.860 We wish that for us, Ireland first, you know. 0.99

00:03:42.940 But I feel, and as many of my countrymen and women feel, there is almost like an incentive to speak your piece on foreign issues.

00:03:55.500 You know, if you think about a raise or your next job or your next position, that is where we feel our government elite have their eyes on.

00:04:05.400 They have their eyes on the next role for themselves.

00:04:08.940 And then, in order to get that next role, they must speak their piece on foreign issues and nothing to do with Irish issues.

00:04:17.380 And then, you know, lo and behold, an announcement of a raise or an employment in the European Union, a delegate.

00:04:25.620 And then off they go on their merry way after a running riot on Ireland and, you know, zero accountability of doing so.

00:04:35.200 And it's no more.

00:04:36.180 I'm not sure where people think they will go in this small island.

00:04:39.480 You will not destroy Ireland and be free to walk away.

00:04:44.540 And that is a fact.

00:04:46.340 How do you, I want to get to how you know all this and how you've distilled it to such a, to its essence.

00:04:52.600 I mean, that was such an amazing description.

00:04:54.580 Not just to what's happening here, but throughout the West, the English people.

00:04:57.560 The entire Western sphere, for sure, it is happening.

00:04:59.700 Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Great Britain, which has already gone.

00:05:02.600 I feel our government, again, overseas issues.

00:05:05.980 Yes.

00:05:06.420 Okay.

00:05:07.600 Internal.

00:05:08.380 I'm an Irishman.

00:05:09.460 I love my country dearly.

00:05:11.340 Yes.

00:05:11.600 Nothing or no one could ever change that fact.

00:05:15.560 I would give my life for my nation.

00:05:17.740 And I have such a love for this soil.

00:05:21.300 And I, how I know about it, I've just invested in it heavily.

00:05:26.080 You know, I'm an, I'm an employer of many people here in the country, of many businesses here operating in the country.

00:05:31.460 And daily I hear about the struggles of people and, you know, the issues they are going through.

00:05:38.280 And it ignites a fire in me to stand up.

00:05:41.180 There's something in my belly for my country that I cannot shake.

00:05:44.240 And even despite maybe the worrisome of my mother and people in my life, why, why?

00:05:52.040 Let's go away.

00:05:52.900 Let's sail on the yacht. 1.00

00:05:54.060 Let's fucking do something. 0.99

00:05:55.460 Excuse the language. 0.99

00:05:56.280 Let's do something else.

00:05:57.560 I cannot.

00:05:58.580 My country is my country and I'll fight for it till the day I go out.

00:06:03.820 And that is it.

00:06:04.760 Where did you, what was it like growing up here?

00:06:06.860 Where'd you grow up?

00:06:07.680 What were the circumstances?

00:06:08.800 What was Ireland like as you were growing up?

00:06:10.300 Ireland's a beautiful place.

00:06:11.200 Beautiful place to grow up.

00:06:12.100 Very, very community driven.

00:06:14.240 And family driven.

00:06:15.720 And I grew up in a Dublin suburb off the city centre called Crumlin.

00:06:19.880 Dublin 12 is the district.

00:06:21.660 That's why I named my whiskey proper number 12 after my district.

00:06:25.160 It's where my public house is that we will go after in Dublin 12, the Black Forge Inn.

00:06:30.280 It's also home to the largest children's hospital in the country.

00:06:33.300 So most people in Ireland have a relationship with the area.

00:06:36.640 It's a rough and tough area also.

00:06:39.020 Was it growing up rough?

00:06:40.500 For sure it was.

00:06:41.880 For sure it was.

00:06:42.380 You know, we moved out when I was about 17 years of age.

00:06:45.440 And that kind of got me a little break from it, if you will.

00:06:47.860 But I was 17 years of age.

00:06:49.860 I had already made my friends.

00:06:51.480 I was like an alien in the new place.

00:06:53.480 So I always made my way back down.

00:06:55.400 My boxing club was down there.

00:06:57.040 My football club was down there.

00:06:58.760 All my friends were down there.

00:07:00.300 So I met.

00:07:00.880 Although I moved out at 17, I never really moved out.

00:07:03.600 You know, so.

00:07:05.120 But Ireland's a great place full of great people.

00:07:07.760 But it wasn't a rich neighborhood you grew up in.

00:07:11.560 No, no, no, no, no.

00:07:13.340 It was not, no.

00:07:14.120 For sure not.

00:07:15.500 So you're 17.

00:07:16.720 What did you, how far did you get in school?

00:07:19.480 I went all the way to my leaving church.

00:07:22.200 I was the only one in my family to do it.

00:07:24.280 So I hold that up.

00:07:25.060 I hold that.

00:07:25.960 And what age did you leave?

00:07:27.080 18?

00:07:27.780 18 years of age.

00:07:28.640 I didn't go to college.

00:07:29.520 I went into an apprenticeship.

00:07:30.600 It's either you get a job, you go to college, or you get an apprenticeship.

00:07:35.780 And I got an apprenticeship as a plumber on an industrial site in Kilternan County, Wicklow,

00:07:42.460 which was actually, at the time, one of the, actually it was the largest building site in Europe at the time.

00:07:50.580 And lo and behold, misspending, overspending, overbudget, all the rest of it, you know,

00:07:57.480 back in the central, the thing fell apart. 0.99

00:08:00.520 The ass fell out of it, we'll say. 0.98

00:08:02.380 And that is one of my issues here in Ireland, and the people of Ireland, the overspending that's going on. 0.99

00:08:07.940 This is our public wealth being administered into private hands, enriching people to bring in this influx of illegal mass migration 0.99

00:08:16.620 that is changing the fabric of my country.

00:08:19.840 It is, Ireland is very close to losing its Irishness.

00:08:24.860 And we will not let that happen, you know, and that's it.

00:08:28.020 We must continue to raise our voice and speak our peace.

00:08:33.320 It's almost taboo to speak it, and it has been made that way by our government elite.

00:08:40.420 Like I said, they use bullying, they use intimidation tactics,

00:08:43.500 they use our funds to pay our legacy media to push an agenda.

00:08:50.080 They do not push facts, they push agendas.

00:08:52.180 I mean, I've only been here two days, but I'm a little bit confused by it,

00:08:58.680 because Ireland is not like the United States, in that you have an indigenous population of Celtic people

00:09:02.920 called the Irish, who've been here since the beginning of known history.

00:09:07.500 And so it's not like you were invaders.

00:09:09.480 You were also never a colonial power.

00:09:10.920 You never invaded anybody else.

00:09:13.220 You didn't have overseas colonies.

00:09:15.120 You just kind of stayed on your island and brewed alcoholic beverages.

00:09:18.540 I have the best brewery in the land, not to me, not to me.

00:09:23.760 You never bothered anybody.

00:09:26.900 You don't have any national crimes to atone for.

00:09:30.380 So I come here to Dublin, your biggest city, and not one advertisement on any public space has Irish people in it.

00:09:36.240 Yeah.

00:09:36.620 And it's clearly part of the same propaganda campaign, like make white people hate themselves, 1.00

00:09:42.460 make white people feel ashamed to be white, white people are criminals. 0.99

00:09:46.000 It's like, okay, but who's doing that to you and why? 1.00

00:09:50.340 Like, what is that?

00:09:51.080 I feel since the turn of the crash,

00:09:54.120 our government elite have been accosted into full-time globalist traitors of Ireland.

00:09:59.120 And they take their orders from above.

00:10:03.440 And it is not even them.

00:10:05.460 They are being ordered, and the orders are coming down onto the people,

00:10:08.800 and the people have no say.

00:10:10.180 We need amendments to the Constitution.

00:10:12.000 We need to remove this tight grip that the political elite have over the public. 0.94

00:10:17.320 And that is it.

00:10:18.160 And that is our goal here, eventually.

00:10:20.980 I operated my businesses and my entire life on fairness.

00:10:25.400 That is it.

00:10:26.240 What is fair?

00:10:27.540 What is correct?

00:10:29.180 Our government elite do the absolute opposite.

00:10:32.660 And it has to change.

00:10:34.100 It has got to change.

00:10:35.340 Our culture is being erased.

00:10:37.800 And you have a very distinct thousand-year-old or older culture that's based on Irishness,

00:10:44.700 the indigenous population of the island that we're on right now.

00:10:48.200 And they're being replaced at super high speed.

00:10:51.560 So you have said immigration is treason, mass migration is treason.

00:10:55.860 Describe the scale of it to Ireland.

00:10:58.320 And its effects.

00:10:59.280 Well, in the olden days, my family, the McGregor clan, you know, treason is, you're hung drawn and quartered if you commit treason against your nation.

00:11:09.540 Yeah.

00:11:10.020 So, you know, what is going on here is an abomination, a travesty.

00:11:15.060 And it cannot continue for much longer.

00:11:17.600 As you said, we are an island unto ourself.

00:11:19.900 A small island.

00:11:20.900 And we are being governed by a small people who are in turn being governed by another minute group of people.

00:11:29.980 And it must stop.

00:11:31.220 And that's it.

00:11:31.660 There is so much worry in this government elite circle about myself running for president.

00:11:37.820 And if we are a true democratic nation, which we are not, and I don't believe so, and it's becoming more and more clear and more evident,

00:11:43.940 and the more Irish people are being awakened to this fact.

00:11:47.720 But if we are, let the people decide.

00:11:50.900 You know, it is this cozy clique where you have to almost bend the knee, you know, to even have a shot at this.

00:12:00.120 It's, we should be on the ticket.

00:12:04.360 And a citizen of Ireland should be allowed to be on the ticket above a certain age, of a certain creed, and let the people decide.

00:12:11.340 A ticket to run for president.

00:12:12.520 A ticket to run for president.

00:12:13.800 That is it.

00:12:14.440 I do not even...

00:12:15.080 Wait, hold on.

00:12:15.600 Why, this is a democracy, supposedly.

00:12:17.720 Why can't you run for president?

00:12:18.800 Because you have, there's stipulations.

00:12:20.980 You have to get four county councils, which are controlled by the government parties.

00:12:25.340 You have, or you have to get 20 nominations of the Oireachtas, which are all mostly party affiliates.

00:12:30.740 So you can't just run for president.

00:12:32.020 You can't just run for president.

00:12:33.100 So how is it a democracy?

00:12:34.280 Yeah, there you go.

00:12:35.180 How is it?

00:12:35.660 It isn't.

00:12:36.860 Oh, are you going to do it anyway?

00:12:39.520 I'm going to push forward and carry on my journey, highlighting my country's plight, my country's fight, and also my country's delight.

00:12:50.500 You know, I do not want to be doom and gloom here, as I said.

00:12:54.540 Dublin is the greatest city on earth, and Ireland is the greatest country on earth.

00:12:59.260 And I know as an American man, you're probably sitting there in your chair, but we love Ireland dearly, our people.

00:13:04.040 No, I'm not, actually.

00:13:05.180 I'm just the opposite.

00:13:06.780 I'm thinking, you've got a claim on being the greatest country.

00:13:08.500 You've got a claim, for sure.

00:13:09.360 You do.

00:13:09.940 And it's worth fighting for.

00:13:11.560 And that's it.

00:13:12.160 That's what I'm here for.

00:13:12.740 Why wouldn't people, I know the media here hates you, but I've never understood why. 0.51

00:13:17.660 I mean, you're not calling for invading anybody or throwing anyone in prison, maybe other than your corrupt leadership. 0.67

00:13:23.880 You sound like they deserve it.

00:13:25.640 Why would they hate you?

00:13:27.180 I'm just calling for our national safety.

00:13:31.840 Right now, our national security is at risk.

00:13:35.580 And that is a fact.

00:13:36.240 We are being overrun, and it's a danger to the public.

00:13:40.400 And on top of that is our overspending of our public wealth.

00:13:44.100 It is preposterous, the splashing of our money on issues that have not, one, not got to do with us, and two, that actually directly put us in danger.

00:13:54.080 And these are my issues that I wish, we'll say, run on our campaign.

00:13:58.500 You ask me about my political aspirations.

00:14:02.360 I am of the belief that the era of the politician must end.

00:14:06.240 It must come to an end.

00:14:07.940 It has proven unfruitful.

00:14:10.920 And that is clear as day by the statistics and by what we see around us.

00:14:16.340 It is straight chancery.

00:14:18.320 Our ministers and our appointed ministers have no history in the roles that they are appointed to.

00:14:26.200 Our minister of finance has no history in accounting.

00:14:30.040 Our minister of health has no history in the health industry.

00:14:32.740 Our minister of education was never a school teacher.

00:14:34.900 As an example, as an example, as an example.

00:14:37.420 It is straight chancery we are dealing with.

00:14:39.660 The era of the politician must end, Tucker.

00:14:41.480 And I can see with the selections of the Trump administration that we look upon,

00:14:48.300 which has been 24-7 right from my vantage point,

00:14:52.720 you know, Trump, a businessman.

00:14:56.480 You know, he's running it more like a business and with common sense.

00:15:01.060 You know, that is where I would see it more so than these politicians

00:15:05.700 where they're all in this clique and it's a party.

00:15:08.900 They are working on behest of the party and not the people.

00:15:12.840 They are working to curry favour within the party to rise up the ranks.

00:15:15.500 And then the heads of the party are working to curry favour on the people above them again

00:15:20.540 to rise up another rank.

00:15:22.380 It just serves the country.

00:15:25.380 It does not serve the country.

00:15:27.040 And that is it.

00:15:28.400 I'm simply highlighting it, putting it out to the people.

00:15:31.680 If they wish for me to run, whatever my nation wants, I'm here for.

00:15:38.420 That's it.

00:15:38.960 CNN has described you as the leader, and I'm quoting, of Ireland's far right.

00:15:43.700 Who has?

00:15:45.560 CNN, which is a news channel in the United States.

00:15:49.940 Far left, far right.

00:15:51.400 All of these terminologies mean nothing to me.

00:15:53.960 I'm a family man.

00:15:55.500 I'm an employer of the country.

00:15:58.160 You know, I'm a supporter of many people.

00:16:00.440 And I care about my land and the safety of its citizens

00:16:03.380 and the prosperity of its citizens.

00:16:06.000 I want preference.

00:16:08.240 I want peace, preference, and prosperity for the citizens of Ireland, for my people.

00:16:12.900 And isn't that fair for our country, men and women?

00:16:16.640 It is our country.

00:16:18.000 Ireland is for Ireland.

00:16:19.780 You know, and that is it.

00:16:21.520 I'm not right left.

00:16:22.720 You know, I feel I'm centred, grounded.

00:16:27.120 That is where I feel.

00:16:27.980 In fact, I ground myself every day.

00:16:29.960 I walk out and I ground myself every day barefoot in the grass.

00:16:34.120 Barefoot as king.

00:16:35.320 I fought in the octagons, in the cages all around the countries of Ireland

00:16:38.640 and then into the United States of America barefoot.

00:16:42.840 So I am a grounded man, either left, right.

00:16:46.120 I am center and grounded.

00:16:48.260 America has thousands of colleges and universities,

00:16:50.640 and a lot of them, unfortunately, are basically just scams.

00:16:52.620 It's one of those things nobody really wants to talk about,

00:16:54.540 but everybody on some level knows that it's true.

00:16:56.940 What's an impressive college in 2025?

00:16:59.920 There aren't many at all.

00:17:01.380 Hillsdale is one of them.

00:17:02.920 It is the exception. 0.99

00:17:04.320 They cut straight through the woke garbage. 0.99

00:17:05.880 They give their students a real education, an actual education. 0.91

00:17:09.640 Meet a Hillsdale student and ask yourself,

00:17:11.460 is this the best educated 22-year-old I've met in a long time?

00:17:13.820 Yeah, because they don't have propaganda in their education,

00:17:16.480 just the truth, facts, history, English, math.

00:17:20.580 If you think it sounds good, because it is good, think of this.

00:17:23.660 Hillsdale is offering over 40 free online courses you can enroll in today.

00:17:27.660 There's no catch at all.

00:17:28.620 You don't have to pay anything.

00:17:29.960 It's not going to hit you up for anything.

00:17:31.140 It's free.

00:17:31.600 You can learn about the Constitution, the Bible, the basis of Western civilization,

00:17:36.820 Rome's rise and fall, early Christian church, things that actually matter, not one dime. 0.94

00:17:42.000 Free.

00:17:42.900 They have a new class called Understanding Capitalism that teaches Americans basic economic ideas,

00:17:49.420 describes our own system, a system that is falling apart.

00:17:53.040 A lot of people want you to hate, but for 250 years has been the best and most productive in the world.

00:17:58.060 You'll understand the basis of our economy from founding till president.

00:18:04.140 Hillsdale, not afraid to preach the message our country has forgotten, which is freedom is good,

00:18:09.340 Christianity is good, markets are good, and they make this country better by raising well-educated students.

00:18:17.380 We endorse this as a college hater.

00:18:19.980 I love Hillsdale.

00:18:21.160 Go to Tucker4Hillsdale.com to sign up for Understanding Capitalism today.

00:18:25.800 The course is Understanding Capitalism.

00:18:27.280 Zero cost.

00:18:28.580 Just the truth.

00:18:29.320 That's Tucker4Hillsdale.com to enroll for free.

00:18:33.120 Tucker says it best.

00:18:34.920 The credit card companies are ripping Americans off, and enough is enough.

00:18:39.040 This is Senator Roger Marshall of Kansas.

00:18:42.260 Our legislation, the Credit Card Competition Act, would help in the grip Visa and MasterCard have on us.

00:18:49.440 Every time you use your credit card, they charge you a hidden fee called a swipe fee,

00:18:54.100 and they've been raising it without even telling you.

00:18:57.100 This hurts consumers and every small business owner.

00:19:00.440 In fact, American families are paying $1,100 in hidden swipe fees each year.

00:19:05.640 The fees Visa and MasterCard charge Americans are the highest in the world,

00:19:11.280 double candidates and eight times more than Europe's.

00:19:14.300 That's why I've taken action, but I need your help to help get this passed.

00:19:18.700 I'm asking you to call your senator today and demand they pass the Credit Card Competition Act.

00:19:25.740 Paid for by the Merchants Payments Coalition.

00:19:27.360 Not authorized by any candidate or candidate's committee.

00:20:01.240 So, in the conversations I've had with people in Dublin,

00:20:07.840 every single person I've talked to has said the same thing,

00:20:10.240 which is Irish people can no longer afford houses,

00:20:14.500 their kids can't afford to get married, 1.00

00:20:15.980 and their kids can't afford to have kids, 0.99

00:20:17.520 and they can't afford to have kids. 0.64

00:20:19.100 You know, the Irish family of 12 children doesn't exist anymore,

00:20:22.040 in part because no one can afford that.

00:20:23.800 But, and yet your government is subsidizing immigrants to have kids.

00:20:27.980 Yeah.

00:20:28.400 So, I do, and that's true in my country too,

00:20:30.340 in Australia, in New Zealand, in Canada, in the UK.

00:20:33.140 Like, what is that?

00:20:34.180 Suicide is what it is.

00:20:35.720 It's absolute suicide.

00:20:37.420 And, you know, it has to stop.

00:20:41.540 It has to stop.

00:20:43.000 The rising cost of living is a national emergency.

00:20:47.300 Yes.

00:20:47.540 And, you know, it has to stop.

00:20:50.840 It has to, we say no.

00:20:52.960 We built a toll bridge here in Ireland.

00:20:55.400 We built toll bridges.

00:20:56.420 They're sold to foreign companies.

00:20:57.780 The funds of this goes to foreign companies. 0.96

00:21:00.820 It's silly.

00:21:01.740 It's a little risk.

00:21:01.960 So, the people of Ireland build something,

00:21:04.120 and then your government sells it to foreigners,

00:21:06.200 and then you have to pay for it.

00:21:07.380 And it's billions per annum.

00:21:08.460 Billions in profit per annum.

00:21:10.140 And people, another thing,

00:21:13.380 the traffic car on Garda Sia Khan

00:21:15.360 is one of the most successful divisions

00:21:17.900 in the Gardaí, in the police force,

00:21:20.820 in our police force, for convictions.

00:21:23.420 And, you know, it is the most successful.

00:21:26.240 And it has caused untold stress

00:21:28.140 onto the people of Ireland.

00:21:29.320 And I could, I wonder the amount of suicides

00:21:32.120 and the amount of lives lost

00:21:33.240 and families destroyed

00:21:34.500 over the stress of the traffic car institution

00:21:40.360 with, you know, you get caught driving without tax

00:21:42.440 or, you know, no NCT or,

00:21:44.760 it's all a money racket.

00:21:45.820 So, just for foreigners watching this,

00:21:47.700 you're talking about parking

00:21:48.880 and minor traffic violations.

00:21:50.600 Parking and minor traffic violations.

00:21:51.540 Yeah, put through the ringer.

00:21:52.820 And now in this day and age,

00:21:54.460 which is why it's so infuriating,

00:21:56.640 and then, you know, we'll keep calm with it,

00:21:58.180 but it's why people in Ireland are waking up,

00:22:00.980 because everyone has felt in some way, shape, or form

00:22:03.320 the stress of having to make sure

00:22:04.920 that you're above board on this money racket

00:22:08.800 is what it is.

00:22:10.060 So, it's not to keep you safe,

00:22:11.220 it's to steal money from you.

00:22:12.640 Not to keep you safe,

00:22:13.140 but on this day and age now,

00:22:14.680 we've got our new visitors to the island

00:22:18.000 who get fully exempt from driving without tax,

00:22:21.560 insurance, NCT,

00:22:22.760 and even on Irish reg plates.

00:22:25.460 Free as a bird.

00:22:27.020 Right through.

00:22:28.060 After our nation...

00:22:28.900 The immigrants don't have to.

00:22:29.540 ...has gone through the most stressful periods of our life.

00:22:31.880 Lives have been lost

00:22:33.100 due to the stress caused

00:22:34.480 of this branch in Angardashia Corner.

00:22:38.420 And yet, now people...

00:22:40.360 Now our neighbours from other countries 1.00

00:22:43.200 are moving here,

00:22:44.280 and with full exemption,

00:22:45.860 to drive around our roads

00:22:47.760 with supercharged vehicles

00:22:49.640 that have been imported

00:22:50.720 on the taxpayer's dime.

00:22:52.940 And then also even another

00:22:54.380 crazy statement is

00:22:57.540 if something happens to your vehicle,

00:23:00.340 if you're a nice, friendly visitor

00:23:02.040 or potential new member of our country,

00:23:05.600 you get your vehicle repaired

00:23:07.620 at a cost to the state. 0.76

00:23:09.380 So, it is just ludicrous.

00:23:10.860 And the people of Ireland are rising up to it. 0.70

00:23:12.540 Not even...

00:23:12.980 We're just being awakened to it.

00:23:14.420 And that's it.

00:23:15.240 As we awaken,

00:23:16.820 you know, we're noticing...

00:23:18.340 Wait, is what you said real?

00:23:19.900 That's very, very real.

00:23:21.140 Very, very real.

00:23:22.060 And it's...

00:23:22.340 How can they justify you?

00:23:23.580 They cannot.

00:23:24.320 There is no justification.

00:23:25.540 You know what there is?

00:23:26.640 Silence.

00:23:27.580 And that is...

00:23:28.940 That doesn't work.

00:23:30.200 You cannot be silent on this.

00:23:31.400 Like I said,

00:23:31.760 you're not going to get off

00:23:32.480 ruining Ireland

00:23:33.880 or ripping off Ireland.

00:23:35.060 Never in a million years.

00:23:35.940 But if they're paying foreigners 0.98

00:23:37.180 to have kids

00:23:37.980 while you can't afford to have kids,

00:23:39.640 if they're shaking you down

00:23:41.380 with the armed police,

00:23:43.360 but allowing foreigners

00:23:44.760 a pass,

00:23:46.440 if they're paying

00:23:47.420 to fix foreigners' cars 1.00

00:23:48.500 but not yours,

00:23:50.060 they hate you 0.98

00:23:51.040 and they're trying to kill you, right? 0.99

00:23:52.440 It's an erasure. 0.95

00:23:52.960 It's an attempted erasure

00:23:53.780 of our people.

00:23:56.160 That is it.

00:23:56.920 I could have went...

00:23:57.840 I could have went all that way

00:23:59.260 in the White House.

00:24:00.520 I had to climb...

00:24:01.720 We had to...

00:24:02.260 You go incrementally up, right?

00:24:04.240 You go in.

00:24:04.800 Hey, it's...

00:24:05.780 You talk about a genocide.

00:24:07.060 This is the genocide of our people.

00:24:08.640 Obviously.

00:24:09.300 But you know,

00:24:10.000 you got to climb it right.

00:24:11.320 So we're getting there.

00:24:13.240 And awareness is being made.

00:24:14.580 And we'll make the moves.

00:24:16.120 And there's many great people.

00:24:17.720 In fact,

00:24:18.500 the majority of the Irish people

00:24:19.960 are great people.

00:24:21.540 Majority, majority are great people.

00:24:22.920 I agree with that.

00:24:23.300 Doing great things for our nation.

00:24:26.200 And the pressure

00:24:27.620 and the awareness

00:24:28.500 we're putting on

00:24:30.220 our government elite

00:24:31.180 is causing slight changes.

00:24:33.220 You know,

00:24:33.500 they're doing...

00:24:34.580 They're doing certain things

00:24:36.100 to appease.

00:24:37.360 However,

00:24:37.860 how genuine that is,

00:24:39.340 how much of a facade that is,

00:24:40.940 we're sceptical.

00:24:43.200 Our trust is at an all-time low.

00:24:45.660 And,

00:24:46.480 you know,

00:24:46.900 you see we walk

00:24:47.900 the length of breadth...

00:24:49.520 The length and breadth

00:24:50.200 of the Dublin city capital

00:24:51.560 and it's love

00:24:52.580 and,

00:24:53.180 you know,

00:24:53.580 cheer and support.

00:24:55.460 Not one politician

00:24:56.340 under any party

00:24:57.560 can do the same.

00:24:59.000 And

00:24:59.380 that is a shame.

00:25:00.920 And I actually...

00:25:02.000 I don't understand

00:25:03.300 why they...

00:25:05.560 Ireland,

00:25:06.480 we are the greatest supporters.

00:25:07.580 If you do good by Ireland,

00:25:09.300 Ireland will do good by you.

00:25:10.740 And none more

00:25:11.300 is that evident

00:25:12.360 than in myself.

00:25:13.840 We are the greatest supporters

00:25:14.880 in the world,

00:25:15.700 they say.

00:25:16.400 How our politicians

00:25:17.540 do not wish

00:25:18.420 to receive this love.

00:25:20.660 I do not understand it.

00:25:22.640 Fundraising efforts

00:25:23.260 will begin

00:25:23.740 and there will be

00:25:24.340 a large fund

00:25:25.280 built into this

00:25:26.060 where we're going to really

00:25:27.300 take back our country. 0.98

00:25:29.680 And that's it.

00:25:31.100 Funds are needed.

00:25:32.040 Money is needed.

00:25:32.480 Is anybody...

00:25:33.240 So you've made a...

00:25:34.180 I think...

00:25:34.520 If I think about these tariffs

00:25:35.700 what's going on right now,

00:25:36.680 well,

00:25:36.860 their money dries up

00:25:37.780 and they're panicking

00:25:39.140 about their money.

00:25:39.840 Our government elite

00:25:41.020 and when he rises up.

00:25:43.160 And that is an exciting thing

00:25:44.540 for the people of Ireland

00:25:45.600 to hear.

00:25:46.220 And that's what this is.

00:25:47.280 My funds are infinite

00:25:48.140 and I'm all in

00:25:49.160 for the country of Ireland

00:25:50.080 and I've got

00:25:50.720 incredible backing

00:25:52.020 from your country

00:25:53.220 and other countries

00:25:53.960 that wish to support

00:25:54.960 our cause.

00:25:56.100 And that's it.

00:25:56.620 It's a real movement

00:25:57.620 for change.

00:25:58.060 So let me ask you

00:25:58.860 so a lot of political movement

00:26:02.520 or one political movement

00:26:03.480 in particular

00:26:04.000 in Ireland

00:26:04.600 had support

00:26:05.660 from rich Irish Americans

00:26:07.400 for years.

00:26:08.560 The Republicans,

00:26:09.220 the nationalists here

00:26:10.000 had support

00:26:11.020 from donors

00:26:11.580 in the United States.

00:26:12.880 Do you think

00:26:13.460 Irish Americans

00:26:14.340 in the US

00:26:15.100 a lot of whom are rich

00:26:16.360 understand what's happening

00:26:17.980 in this country?

00:26:18.600 No, for sure.

00:26:19.880 And when I seen

00:26:20.560 Micheál Martin,

00:26:21.440 our Taoiseach,

00:26:22.760 our rotating Taoiseach,

00:26:24.660 grace the Oval Office

00:26:25.960 on March 12th,

00:26:27.200 five days before

00:26:28.220 St. Patrick's Day,

00:26:29.120 five days before myself,

00:26:30.840 I saw softball.

00:26:33.800 I saw a game of softball

00:26:35.040 by Vice President Vance

00:26:36.960 and President Trump

00:26:38.080 and almost a little bit

00:26:40.280 of pandering to him.

00:26:41.920 Being safe with him

00:26:42.920 because you cannot be seen

00:26:44.840 that's 40 million

00:26:46.640 Irish Americans

00:26:47.220 and that vote

00:26:48.040 is very strong

00:26:48.760 for the administration.

00:26:51.420 You know,

00:26:51.580 you need that on strong.

00:26:52.480 You need that on side.

00:26:53.760 So they couldn't be seen

00:26:55.060 although their feelings

00:26:56.140 are well known,

00:26:57.240 you know,

00:26:57.460 they're well against

00:26:58.380 what's going on

00:26:58.960 here in this country.

00:26:59.920 They could not be seen

00:27:00.820 to be tearing through

00:27:01.880 an Irish delegate

00:27:02.840 on the St. Patrick's Week.

00:27:04.220 So they played it

00:27:04.860 they played it correct.

00:27:06.680 And then when I seen this

00:27:07.860 I said, okay.

00:27:09.820 And I got my call

00:27:10.800 to go and show up.

00:27:12.500 I said,

00:27:12.900 I'm going to highlight this

00:27:13.840 to the Irish American people.

00:27:15.660 This is what's really going on.

00:27:17.380 You know,

00:27:17.980 some people are saying,

00:27:19.620 hey, I'm from Wexford.

00:27:21.080 I'm from Wexford.

00:27:21.880 My grandmother's from Wexford.

00:27:23.280 I said,

00:27:23.800 Wexford was the sunny southeast

00:27:25.440 is what we used to call Wexford.

00:27:27.060 Well, we do call it

00:27:28.020 a holiday destination.

00:27:29.460 It is now no more.

00:27:31.440 There is no hotels

00:27:32.400 available in Wexford.

00:27:33.560 They're all transferred

00:27:34.440 into IPAS centres

00:27:35.740 which are International Protection

00:27:36.900 Applicant Services. 1.00

00:27:38.420 It's this fuck, 1.00

00:27:39.140 it's this racket 1.00

00:27:40.120 where they're all getting housed.

00:27:42.020 It is an office block.

00:27:44.020 It is a hotel.

00:27:45.500 It is even a school.

00:27:47.420 It is even schools now

00:27:48.260 are being transferred

00:27:48.800 into these IPAS centres.

00:27:49.800 Filled with immigrants. 1.00

00:27:51.040 Filled with immigrants, yes. 1.00

00:27:53.260 So they totally wrecked the town.

00:27:54.720 Wexford Russell Airport

00:27:56.040 is another port

00:27:57.100 where they arrive in

00:27:58.520 and they're in

00:27:59.680 County Wexford

00:28:00.460 which used to be

00:28:01.500 the sunny southeast,

00:28:02.420 a beautiful holiday destination

00:28:03.480 is now without a hotel

00:28:05.620 in the county.

00:28:06.920 They've all been transferred

00:28:08.000 into International Protection

00:28:09.300 Why doesn't someone

00:28:09.960 overthrow the government?

00:28:11.700 Here?

00:28:12.680 Yeah, I mean

00:28:13.140 that's like an act of war

00:28:14.160 against your country.

00:28:15.200 I mean, I shouldn't say that to you

00:28:16.240 because I don't want to get you

00:28:16.920 in trouble.

00:28:17.240 Look, I'm statesman-like.

00:28:17.820 I will carry on statesman-like.

00:28:19.560 I will say this.

00:28:20.520 We are peaceful.

00:28:21.240 We are not harmless.

00:28:21.960 In a normal country,

00:28:23.460 people wouldn't put up with that.

00:28:24.760 We move under God

00:28:25.840 and we let God guide us.

00:28:28.320 We are capable of many things.

00:28:29.520 We are capable of many things

00:28:30.700 as a great nation,

00:28:31.640 as a great people

00:28:32.520 and we move under God.

00:28:34.700 Boy, you've heard a lot

00:28:36.240 of complaining

00:28:36.940 in the last couple of weeks

00:28:37.980 since Donald Trump

00:28:38.740 announced his new import tariffs

00:28:40.380 on foreign-made things.

00:28:42.680 A lot of people don't like it

00:28:44.300 but the companies

00:28:45.720 who make American products

00:28:47.820 in America

00:28:48.500 with American materials,

00:28:49.700 they're pretty happy

00:28:50.580 because they're not affected by this.

00:28:53.640 They've been doing the right thing

00:28:54.900 since the beginning.

00:28:56.680 They're not paying tariffs

00:28:58.220 because, again,

00:28:59.180 they're making American products

00:29:01.340 for Americans.

00:29:04.700 Liberty Safe is a perfect example.

00:29:07.480 Liberty Safe is not making its stuff

00:29:09.900 in some foreign country.

00:29:11.160 It's not made in China 1.00

00:29:11.980 or Vietnam or India.

00:29:13.420 It's made right here

00:29:14.600 with American steel.

00:29:17.140 They employ skilled American craftsmen

00:29:19.160 who do an amazing job.

00:29:20.620 That's why they make

00:29:21.060 the best safes there are.

00:29:22.600 They have the highest standard

00:29:23.480 of quality and security

00:29:24.700 so you don't have to worry

00:29:25.660 that when you lock up things

00:29:27.220 that you really care about,

00:29:28.420 they're going to get stolen.

00:29:29.480 They're not.

00:29:30.400 These are safes you can trust.

00:29:32.500 I keep my father's shotguns

00:29:33.980 in a Liberty Safe at my house.

00:29:36.160 When you buy Liberty,

00:29:37.020 you support American jobs.

00:29:38.400 You protect what matters most.

00:29:40.400 Choose American steel,

00:29:42.280 American craftsmanship.

00:29:44.380 Choose Liberty.

00:29:46.160 Visit libertysafe.com for more.

00:29:49.260 I've got to say,

00:29:50.000 almost everyone on our team

00:29:51.520 looks suspiciously well-rested

00:29:53.340 every morning.

00:29:54.140 It turns out most of them

00:29:55.340 are using a product

00:29:56.060 called Sambrosa.

00:29:57.340 Sambrosa blends antihistamine

00:29:58.940 with a syrup of herbs and honey

00:30:00.580 and is designed to help you

00:30:02.020 sleep well,

00:30:02.840 waking up,

00:30:03.400 feeling refreshed

00:30:04.040 and revitalized

00:30:05.120 and based on the sunny,

00:30:07.360 cheerful faces

00:30:08.000 of the people I work with,

00:30:09.560 it works.

00:30:10.680 It's inexpensive.

00:30:11.440 It's less than 50 cents a night

00:30:12.800 and we know the people

00:30:13.960 who own the company

00:30:14.700 and they are great people.

00:30:16.680 They are faithful people

00:30:17.960 and they are about

00:30:18.980 the happiest family

00:30:19.980 we've ever run across.

00:30:21.700 The product,

00:30:22.260 Sambrosa,

00:30:22.680 has a ton of five-star reviews.

00:30:24.000 You can check it out

00:30:58.080 So you believe

00:30:59.180 that Irish Americans,

00:31:00.940 again,

00:31:01.440 who've funded

00:31:02.220 a lot of stuff in Ireland

00:31:03.340 over the years,

00:31:04.160 a lot of investment...

00:31:05.040 Need to realize

00:31:05.760 where you originated from

00:31:08.280 is on the cusp

00:31:10.020 of being done

00:31:11.040 and some are already gone.

00:31:13.140 Some are already gone.

00:31:14.480 However,

00:31:14.880 it's not...

00:31:15.560 It's not...

00:31:16.440 I don't see it as...

00:31:19.060 I see it as correctable still.

00:31:20.760 I see it as fixable.

00:31:21.860 You know,

00:31:22.380 even if you think about

00:31:23.720 like the deportation efforts,

00:31:25.900 I asked Speaker Johnson,

00:31:28.160 where are you going to go?

00:31:29.760 You're talking about this...

00:31:31.140 It'll be the largest

00:31:31.760 deportation effort

00:31:32.500 in the United States history.

00:31:33.580 Where do you plan on going?

00:31:34.500 He said,

00:31:34.700 the prisons.

00:31:36.020 He said,

00:31:36.220 the prisons force.

00:31:37.020 He said...

00:31:37.320 And I just thought,

00:31:38.220 OK.

00:31:38.900 And then I thought...

00:31:39.560 And then I thought

00:31:40.100 about our prisons.

00:31:40.920 Our prisons are overrun right now.

00:31:42.440 We've got,

00:31:42.860 I think maybe

00:31:43.400 just thousands of people

00:31:44.920 without a bed

00:31:45.600 even in a prison.

00:31:46.380 Let alone we can't

00:31:46.940 house our people.

00:31:47.520 We can't even house...

00:31:48.280 We can't even have a bed

00:31:49.260 for the prisoners.

00:31:50.120 So, you know,

00:31:51.000 straight away,

00:31:52.100 you're going in there.

00:31:52.980 You came in,

00:31:54.000 you committed a crime

00:31:54.940 on our soil,

00:31:55.500 you're gone.

00:31:56.420 You know,

00:31:56.700 that's it.

00:31:57.320 No ifs,

00:31:58.080 ands or buts.

00:31:58.620 Why is the taxpayer

00:31:59.380 paying to keep prisoners

00:32:02.400 from foreign countries

00:32:03.940 in our prisons?

00:32:05.280 And it's being overrun.

00:32:07.240 So, you know,

00:32:07.920 I would be up for that.

00:32:09.320 And then I would be

00:32:10.500 going to these IPAS centres.

00:32:11.640 I would be going

00:32:12.100 to the direct provision centres.

00:32:13.520 How did you enter our country?

00:32:14.920 Illegally,

00:32:15.420 you're gone.

00:32:16.780 You know,

00:32:17.580 have you a criminal history?

00:32:18.880 Gone.

00:32:20.760 Is there a genuine attempt

00:32:22.500 to assimilate into the culture

00:32:23.860 and achieve a job

00:32:25.820 and give to the community

00:32:27.620 and support the community?

00:32:29.200 If so,

00:32:29.980 yes,

00:32:30.300 Cade Mila Foggi.

00:32:30.960 If not,

00:32:31.440 gone.

00:32:32.260 And, you know,

00:32:32.940 we can do that.

00:32:33.740 And then also,

00:32:34.360 a turning off of the tap.

00:32:35.840 You know,

00:32:36.080 right now,

00:32:36.620 as I said,

00:32:37.140 about the car situation,

00:32:39.620 you know,

00:32:39.880 they arrive,

00:32:40.460 they get...

00:32:40.980 You get favour

00:32:41.820 if you're from another nation.

00:32:43.400 But if you're from...

00:32:44.380 Why?

00:32:45.080 Why?

00:32:46.260 Who thought of this?

00:32:47.940 It's an order from above.

00:32:49.240 It's a globalist agenda.

00:32:50.640 That's the truth of it.

00:32:51.860 It's a globalist agenda.

00:32:53.000 I know it is.

00:32:53.500 So,

00:32:53.880 for me,

00:32:54.940 if I get in,

00:32:55.500 I'm going to be

00:32:55.920 exerting my influence

00:32:57.160 to turn off the tap.

00:32:58.400 If you think about

00:32:59.100 what Trump has done,

00:33:00.580 they're actually stopping

00:33:01.500 to...

00:33:01.860 They're stopping coming in.

00:33:03.140 Yeah.

00:33:03.300 Because it's not there no more.

00:33:04.660 The gravy train

00:33:05.400 isn't there no more.

00:33:06.480 What is there

00:33:07.180 is actually resistance.

00:33:09.840 You know?

00:33:10.240 And that's where it's at.

00:33:11.420 Now,

00:33:11.660 there is a human...

00:33:12.520 There's compassion

00:33:13.300 for me.

00:33:14.320 There's compassion.

00:33:14.880 I employ people

00:33:15.960 from all walks of life.

00:33:17.380 So there is a compassion element.

00:33:19.220 Many people have emigrated here

00:33:21.380 have done great things

00:33:22.360 for our country.

00:33:23.220 And that has to be highlighted also.

00:33:25.040 But it's like at a stage now

00:33:26.640 where the great people

00:33:28.020 who have came here

00:33:28.660 and emigrated

00:33:29.180 and contributed greatly

00:33:30.600 to our society

00:33:31.300 are now feeling the strain

00:33:33.460 and are feeling the wrath almost

00:33:36.600 because of this social unrest.

00:33:38.560 It has to stop.

00:33:39.760 It has got to stop.

00:33:41.340 You know?

00:33:41.780 And we're at our limit with it.

00:33:43.740 We are really at our limit with it.

00:33:45.200 How the next few years go...

00:33:46.520 It's a bit...

00:33:49.600 It's worrisome.

00:33:50.240 It is worrisome.

00:33:50.960 This EU pact,

00:33:51.880 this EU migration pact

00:33:53.120 that as a president

00:33:54.180 I could get in

00:33:54.780 and I could really rattle it

00:33:55.840 and put it to a stop.

00:33:58.400 Push to stop it.

00:33:59.720 Which is...

00:34:00.400 Which would be the main thing.

00:34:01.880 They're trying to now

00:34:02.580 hurry it through.

00:34:03.480 Which if it goes through,

00:34:06.180 it's like 30,000,

00:34:08.240 40,000,

00:34:08.780 50,000.

00:34:09.220 It's an unlimited number

00:34:10.280 that we'll have to take.

00:34:11.320 It's on the orders of...

00:34:13.500 And move all around your country,

00:34:15.420 right,

00:34:15.720 into small towns.

00:34:16.500 This is what they've done

00:34:16.960 in the United States.

00:34:17.500 They move them into small towns

00:34:18.620 around the country

00:34:19.160 so then your country's gone

00:34:20.500 and you don't even know it.

00:34:22.320 Are they doing that here?

00:34:23.240 Yeah, there's counties

00:34:24.180 overrun right now.

00:34:25.180 There's a county in Ireland,

00:34:26.080 Karna,

00:34:26.620 it's a Galetok county.

00:34:28.500 It's a Galetok town.

00:34:30.320 And there's more IPAS...

00:34:31.540 It was a home for the Ukrainians 0.99

00:34:33.140 and now it's being altered

00:34:33.780 into an IPAS centre.

00:34:35.080 And it's one of the last places

00:34:36.960 of our language.

00:34:38.380 And that is being...

00:34:39.700 That is feeling an influx of it.

00:34:41.200 And there's...

00:34:41.880 You know,

00:34:42.200 the people are out

00:34:42.880 in the streets against it.

00:34:44.120 So it is happening

00:34:45.040 in counties all over Ireland

00:34:46.600 for sure.

00:34:47.120 And with this EU migration pact,

00:34:49.700 if the floodgates are open on that,

00:34:52.500 it's a difficult time.

00:34:55.060 It's changing the religious composition

00:34:56.700 of your country,

00:34:57.680 which since St. Patrick

00:34:59.320 has been a Catholic country,

00:35:00.980 you had Anglican overlords

00:35:03.360 from across the water,

00:35:04.660 but it's been a Catholic country

00:35:05.660 for over a thousand years.

00:35:07.660 So now they're trying

00:35:09.980 to put a refugee centre

00:35:10.980 at a Christian holy site town

00:35:14.360 in Ireland,

00:35:15.000 I was reading this.

00:35:15.660 Yeah.

00:35:15.940 Mm-hmm.

00:35:16.640 Yeah.

00:35:17.100 It's hard to think

00:35:17.800 that's not on purpose.

00:35:18.980 Yeah.

00:35:21.740 Yeah, it is purposeful for sure.

00:35:23.740 Is anyone saying anything

00:35:24.600 about this?

00:35:25.280 Like in your media?

00:35:27.440 You know, I wonder.

00:35:28.560 I do often wonder.

00:35:29.480 And I'm almost certain

00:35:31.880 they must be behind doors.

00:35:34.220 You know,

00:35:34.760 it's like

00:35:35.940 if your boss

00:35:38.080 says something

00:35:39.500 and you don't agree,

00:35:41.160 but you're going to,

00:35:43.160 you might have to agree

00:35:44.640 because your livelihood

00:35:46.100 is on the line,

00:35:46.780 which is essentially what it is.

00:35:48.220 A lot of people's livelihoods

00:35:49.340 are on the line.

00:35:49.960 In fact,

00:35:50.500 the only people that,

00:35:51.860 the only people that agree with it

00:35:54.120 are in public

00:35:55.640 because I actually,

00:35:56.620 I could not believe

00:35:57.700 that they could believe it

00:35:58.620 behind closed doors.

00:36:00.040 Boss or not.

00:36:01.420 Livelihood or not.

00:36:02.840 I'm almost certain

00:36:03.980 they could not,

00:36:04.360 they could not,

00:36:05.380 you know,

00:36:05.760 believe in this,

00:36:06.580 this way for our country.

00:36:08.300 But,

00:36:08.740 that's it.

00:36:10.820 I'm just,

00:36:11.220 you know.

00:36:11.920 So you,

00:36:12.900 your biggest media company

00:36:15.020 is State Media.

00:36:15.940 It's like North Korean 1.00

00:36:16.680 State Media.

00:36:17.240 It's called RTE.

00:36:18.360 Yeah.

00:36:18.980 And it literally

00:36:19.780 is an organ of the state,

00:36:20.960 which is amazing.

00:36:22.740 But then you have social media

00:36:24.160 and you tweeted

00:36:24.960 on social media,

00:36:26.100 Ireland,

00:36:26.780 we're at war.

00:36:27.880 Yeah.

00:36:28.260 You obviously are.

00:36:29.180 What was the reaction

00:36:30.140 from the government

00:36:30.740 to that tweet?

00:36:33.340 Uproar.

00:36:34.280 You know,

00:36:34.940 I was the scapegoat.

00:36:37.080 And then an incident

00:36:37.720 happened where

00:36:38.200 an Algerian visitor

00:36:39.160 or citizen

00:36:40.180 had an Irish passport

00:36:41.400 in Algeria,

00:36:42.600 or so we believe

00:36:43.620 that the,

00:36:44.300 the information

00:36:45.300 is very,

00:36:46.220 it's not,

00:36:47.020 not fully revealed.

00:36:48.660 You can never get

00:36:49.240 a straight answer

00:36:49.760 from these people.

00:36:50.240 Never get a straight answer.

00:36:51.560 Our children

00:36:52.160 were stabbed

00:36:52.960 outside of an Irish school

00:36:54.080 on Parnell Street

00:36:55.600 and a teacher

00:36:57.420 was stabbed

00:36:58.620 trying to fight them off

00:36:59.420 and then an Irish man

00:37:00.220 jumped in

00:37:00.640 and then an immigrant

00:37:01.220 from Brazil

00:37:01.760 jumped in

00:37:02.180 and together

00:37:02.900 they wrestled them down

00:37:03.940 and then it was,

00:37:05.200 you know,

00:37:06.020 hide it

00:37:06.660 and blame my tweets

00:37:08.820 as the reason

00:37:09.440 it kicked off

00:37:10.340 and that's kind of

00:37:11.400 what we're dealing with.

00:37:12.080 Wait,

00:37:12.380 an Algerian 0.65

00:37:13.300 stabbed Irish children 0.99

00:37:14.440 but it was your fault 0.99

00:37:15.440 somehow?

00:37:16.200 Pretty much

00:37:16.620 was kind of

00:37:17.040 what the rhetoric was,

00:37:17.940 yes.

00:37:18.400 And then,

00:37:19.480 you know,

00:37:19.820 that was it,

00:37:20.500 yeah,

00:37:20.760 pretty much.

00:37:21.600 Like I said,

00:37:22.180 I often wonder about

00:37:22.940 if I think about,

00:37:23.960 you know,

00:37:24.620 do they believe in this?

00:37:26.180 We have 6,000

00:37:27.520 members of the Defence Force,

00:37:29.500 6,000 army

00:37:30.200 and we have about

00:37:31.260 12,000 Gardaí.

00:37:32.200 I really wonder

00:37:32.960 how many are happy

00:37:35.200 with the direction

00:37:35.840 our country was going.

00:37:36.840 I cannot see,

00:37:37.540 I cannot see many

00:37:38.880 behind closed doors.

00:37:42.180 Gardaí or the police?

00:37:43.080 Gardaí or the police.

00:37:43.780 I cannot see many

00:37:44.540 closed doors

00:37:45.100 that are happy with this.

00:37:46.120 Even if I look at

00:37:47.440 what has happened

00:37:48.820 in some of the protests

00:37:49.580 where the Gardaí are,

00:37:50.420 essentially the Gardaí

00:37:51.420 are following orders,

00:37:52.240 they're doing their job,

00:37:52.920 it's a tricky one

00:37:53.600 and it's a sad one to see.

00:37:55.740 It was very sad

00:37:56.460 and upsetting to see

00:37:57.300 our Gardaí

00:37:58.080 throwing on their compatriots

00:37:59.260 and that's what we saw

00:38:00.400 and use excessive force.

00:38:02.920 But it's an order

00:38:03.760 coming down

00:38:04.420 and I feel,

00:38:05.220 I feel sad seeing it.

00:38:07.440 I feel sad seeing it.

00:38:08.700 And,

00:38:08.940 you know,

00:38:09.440 most recently

00:38:10.460 one of them came out

00:38:11.220 unnamed

00:38:11.800 and said

00:38:12.860 it has stayed with him.

00:38:14.440 They are very,

00:38:15.260 very troubled by it

00:38:16.660 and it's just,

00:38:18.740 it's just a sad sight

00:38:19.640 to see.

00:38:20.320 You know,

00:38:20.600 Ireland,

00:38:20.960 we should be together

00:38:21.620 and that's what I said.

00:38:22.980 I wonder how many

00:38:23.720 behind closed doors

00:38:24.920 are really with this cause

00:38:27.500 that we are fighting.

00:38:28.200 I would assume it's most,

00:38:31.440 the majority.

00:38:32.100 I think that's true

00:38:32.780 in the U.S. too.

00:38:34.700 I think our FBI 0.53

00:38:36.000 is totally corrupt

00:38:36.720 as I'm sure you've read. 0.95

00:38:37.720 I think most FBI agents

00:38:38.860 are probably appalled

00:38:39.820 but too afraid

00:38:41.080 to do anything.

00:38:42.460 How long,

00:38:43.200 if nothing changes,

00:38:44.220 will Ireland remain Ireland?

00:38:45.760 Do you think?

00:38:46.260 How much time do you have

00:38:47.220 before it's just not victory?

00:38:48.480 Well,

00:38:51.860 we are a small island.

00:38:53.540 We are a small,

00:38:54.300 small island

00:38:54.880 and we are now,

00:38:56.440 I don't even want to highlight.

00:38:58.400 I actually do,

00:38:59.120 I'm actually at a stage now

00:39:00.340 where I'm cautious

00:39:01.780 of highlighting

00:39:02.480 the benefits

00:39:03.720 of arriving here

00:39:04.480 because it's only going

00:39:05.440 to attract more.

00:39:06.700 You know,

00:39:07.140 if I look at

00:39:07.840 Trump's situation,

00:39:09.300 it has decreased

00:39:11.060 the amount of people

00:39:11.800 who are attempting

00:39:12.320 to immigrate

00:39:12.820 to the United States

00:39:13.480 of America

00:39:13.820 because of what's going on.

00:39:15.440 This is what I wish

00:39:16.220 would have happened.

00:39:16.640 You know,

00:39:17.200 if you turn off the tap,

00:39:18.100 they go

00:39:18.460 or they stop coming.

00:39:20.180 If you start,

00:39:21.020 if you show

00:39:22.080 a basket full of golden eggs,

00:39:25.300 you know,

00:39:25.580 they just arrive for it,

00:39:26.660 you know,

00:39:26.880 and that's kind of what it is.

00:39:28.720 It's awful here,

00:39:29.540 I just want to say that.

00:39:30.880 It's a free-for-all

00:39:31.900 with our public wealth,

00:39:33.760 with our money,

00:39:34.760 a free-for-all

00:39:35.480 and it's being stolen

00:39:37.520 and it has to stop.

00:39:39.740 It's not,

00:39:40.820 how long,

00:39:42.600 I couldn't give you

00:39:43.540 the exact figures,

00:39:44.200 you know,

00:39:44.700 statistics,

00:39:46.640 but it doesn't look bright.

00:39:48.880 It could happen

00:39:49.560 a year,

00:39:50.560 not long.

00:39:51.480 Anyway,

00:39:51.780 not long.

00:39:52.360 Feels that way.

00:39:53.200 So how did you,

00:39:54.100 just back to my original question,

00:39:56.060 you're a plumber's apprentice

00:39:57.580 on an industrial site

00:39:59.320 in Ireland

00:40:00.700 cutting cast iron pipes

00:40:03.260 and replacing them

00:40:04.080 or whatever you're doing,

00:40:05.020 probably something like that

00:40:05.820 and then

00:40:07.220 you wind up here

00:40:08.780 thinking about

00:40:09.320 running for president

00:40:10.060 with these

00:40:10.560 very evolved

00:40:11.660 political views.

00:40:12.520 How did that happen?

00:40:13.780 Having a love

00:40:16.700 for one's country.

00:40:17.840 That's it.

00:40:18.340 I have a love

00:40:18.880 for my country.

00:40:19.620 I fought

00:40:20.380 to represent

00:40:21.280 my nation's flag

00:40:22.380 on the grandest stage

00:40:23.380 of fighting.

00:40:24.180 That was my aspiration

00:40:25.280 to represent my nation.

00:40:26.900 To open the doors

00:40:28.260 of the fighting world

00:40:29.960 and the martial arts world

00:40:31.340 to the Irish public

00:40:32.640 and

00:40:33.680 to support my teammates.

00:40:35.560 We were all,

00:40:36.620 we had a kindred

00:40:37.820 spirit

00:40:38.880 rising up

00:40:39.980 chasing our dreams

00:40:41.660 and a very tight-knit crew

00:40:44.540 and we rose up

00:40:45.720 and I

00:40:46.100 got in there.

00:40:47.380 I was successful.

00:40:49.140 I opened it up.

00:40:49.960 Now,

00:40:50.360 the martial arts lifestyle

00:40:51.480 is a real way of living

00:40:52.820 for many people in Ireland

00:40:54.160 and I take great

00:40:55.020 happiness in seeing that

00:40:56.200 and

00:40:57.080 I suppose

00:40:58.520 it's just

00:40:58.900 continue off of that.

00:41:00.500 You know,

00:41:00.760 it's a different fight now.

00:41:03.160 You know,

00:41:03.460 it's a different fight

00:41:04.220 but it's still

00:41:05.160 a fight

00:41:05.880 to represent my country

00:41:07.280 to the best

00:41:08.660 of my ability.

00:41:09.740 Well, Easter is finally here

00:41:10.800 and there's no better way

00:41:11.620 to remember the story

00:41:12.780 of Christ.

00:41:13.500 Jesus dying for your sins

00:41:15.000 is the most powerful thing

00:41:15.900 that has ever happened

00:41:16.500 in history.

00:41:17.460 It is really the beginning

00:41:18.960 of history

00:41:19.660 and it's worth celebrating.

00:41:21.100 This Easter,

00:41:21.680 embrace the freedom

00:41:22.580 of the resurrection

00:41:41.940 and let go

00:41:43.540 of the things

00:42:22.180 So when you

00:42:23.160 started fighting,

00:42:24.880 as you said,

00:42:25.460 you're a plumber's

00:42:26.160 apprentice on an

00:42:26.960 industrial site

00:42:27.780 and then you announce

00:42:28.620 in public a few years

00:42:29.740 after that,

00:42:31.040 you haven't heard of me

00:42:31.780 but I'm going to be

00:42:32.220 the world champion

00:42:32.940 and then you were.

00:42:34.800 Yeah.

00:42:36.060 Five times.

00:42:36.780 Five times.

00:42:39.920 Did you know

00:42:40.800 that you were going to be

00:42:41.560 or were you trying

00:42:42.500 to put your marker out

00:42:44.460 and then live up to it?

00:42:45.440 Well,

00:42:45.600 that's what I will say here

00:42:46.500 about,

00:42:47.100 you know,

00:42:47.340 I do not wish

00:42:47.960 to be doom and gloom.

00:42:50.620 My outlook on life

00:42:52.400 has always been

00:42:53.220 to have a positive outlook.

00:42:55.260 You know,

00:42:55.800 borderline delusional.

00:42:57.600 I could walk into

00:42:58.380 a burning house

00:42:59.200 and see,

00:42:59.960 hear birds chirping

00:43:00.780 as an example.

00:43:02.280 And that assisted me

00:43:03.820 in being able to

00:43:04.580 block out

00:43:06.940 certain things

00:43:07.800 that may have impacted me

00:43:08.940 and hampered me

00:43:10.260 and slowed me down

00:43:11.200 from getting to where

00:43:11.860 I was going.

00:43:12.840 So I wish to

00:43:13.660 continue with that

00:43:14.660 and have a positive outlook

00:43:15.660 and say,

00:43:16.360 it's not all doom and gloom.

00:43:18.220 Like I said,

00:43:18.820 there are positive changes

00:43:20.500 happening incrementally,

00:43:21.860 slowly,

00:43:22.800 but surely.

00:43:23.880 Slowly,

00:43:24.240 but surely.

00:43:24.920 And as I said,

00:43:25.460 there's a great group

00:43:26.300 of people

00:43:27.140 and it's the majority

00:43:28.080 of Irish people

00:43:29.260 that are

00:43:30.020 at the helm of it.

00:43:31.240 I'm a voice

00:43:32.720 and a support

00:43:33.740 and as I said,

00:43:36.120 I'm here to serve my country,

00:43:37.360 serve my country

00:43:38.180 to the best of my ability

00:43:39.160 and protect my country.

00:43:40.820 That is all I wish.

00:43:42.580 I wish for

00:43:44.120 the people

00:43:45.800 to have the power

00:43:47.360 and myself

00:43:49.180 to have a vote

00:43:50.440 amongst the people.

00:43:51.700 That is my aim.

00:43:53.820 What did you think

00:43:54.280 of President Trump?

00:43:55.460 What do I think of him?

00:43:56.200 Yeah.

00:43:56.980 I think he's doing

00:43:57.760 very, very well.

00:43:58.540 I think, you know,

00:43:59.040 I was present

00:44:00.260 for his 2016 inauguration,

00:44:03.320 although not officially.

00:44:05.180 I was there

00:44:05.940 on fighting business.

00:44:07.000 I was fighting

00:44:07.320 in Madison Square Garden

00:44:08.320 for my second

00:44:09.560 UFC world title.

00:44:12.260 And MMA and UFC

00:44:14.140 had just became legalized

00:44:15.340 in New York at the time.

00:44:16.960 And I remember

00:44:17.640 Trump had been

00:44:18.340 just voted in

00:44:19.380 and he won the election

00:44:20.160 and it was uproar

00:44:21.480 on the streets

00:44:22.100 and anger

00:44:22.640 and, you know,

00:44:23.940 fear, I suppose,

00:44:24.940 was going on.

00:44:26.040 And at that time,

00:44:27.020 I was just an observer.

00:44:28.120 You know,

00:44:28.900 politics wasn't really

00:44:29.900 on my mind

00:44:30.480 at that time.

00:44:31.500 Ireland was not really

00:44:32.200 going through

00:44:32.600 what it was going through

00:44:33.420 at that stage

00:44:34.000 in 2016.

00:44:35.760 Although it was rising,

00:44:37.280 it was unbeknownst to me

00:44:38.200 and many in the country.

00:44:39.700 Were you not political,

00:44:40.760 really?

00:44:41.000 Not really political,

00:44:41.980 no, at that stage.

00:44:42.720 You know,

00:44:42.980 I was focused

00:44:43.340 on my craft

00:44:44.260 and it wasn't

00:44:44.840 at the forefront.

00:44:46.060 It all kind of took

00:44:46.760 a turn post-COVID.

00:44:48.360 It all took a real

00:44:49.300 turn post-COVID.

00:44:50.620 And you could kind of see

00:44:52.540 what was going on

00:44:54.120 and what had gone on

00:44:55.100 post the crash,

00:44:56.500 you know,

00:44:57.780 and who our government

00:44:59.880 are serving.

00:45:00.720 You could kind of see

00:45:01.340 that come to fruition

00:45:02.280 then throughout

00:45:03.900 the COVID era.

00:45:05.120 And then I just became

00:45:07.380 more invested in

00:45:08.160 and then that was it.

00:45:09.400 But I was there

00:45:10.860 for Trump's inauguration

00:45:12.140 when he was sworn in

00:45:13.280 for the first time.

00:45:14.760 Fear, worry, panic.

00:45:16.860 And then I was there

00:45:17.500 the second time

00:45:18.160 in 2024,

00:45:19.100 most recent.

00:45:20.000 And it was elation

00:45:20.800 and excitement.

00:45:21.900 And I thought

00:45:22.340 it was good to see.

00:45:24.640 They asked me

00:45:25.340 what do I think

00:45:25.720 he'll be as a president?

00:45:26.520 I said, well,

00:45:27.560 when it was 2016

00:45:28.720 in the media runs

00:45:30.480 I was doing.

00:45:31.340 And I said,

00:45:31.960 let's see, you know,

00:45:32.960 give the man a chance.

00:45:34.320 He's not from

00:45:36.300 a political background.

00:45:38.220 He's from a different background.

00:45:39.340 It's interesting.

00:45:40.280 Let us see.

00:45:41.080 And I thought he'd done well.

00:45:42.360 You know,

00:45:42.540 towards the end of the term,

00:45:44.380 you know,

00:45:45.280 there may have been times

00:45:47.380 to,

00:45:48.160 you know,

00:45:49.300 as a leader of a country,

00:45:51.020 you almost need to,

00:45:52.080 you know,

00:45:54.080 cool the flames.

00:45:55.600 You know,

00:45:55.980 maybe there were some things

00:45:57.480 that might have fanned the flames 0.97

00:45:58.880 towards the end of his term

00:46:00.120 that I thought.

00:46:01.240 But this time around,

00:46:02.660 I feel he's off to a good start.

00:46:04.480 And I wish him well.

00:46:05.300 I wish the country,

00:46:06.100 the United States,

00:46:07.120 of America well.

00:46:09.140 We,

00:46:09.500 I consider them

00:46:10.420 my dear siblings.

00:46:12.320 We consider America

00:46:13.200 our sibling.

00:46:14.400 And,

00:46:14.900 and I think it's going well.

00:46:16.480 And we're getting a good

00:46:17.860 fair bit of energy

00:46:18.820 from it,

00:46:19.440 from Ireland,

00:46:19.960 even amidst

00:46:20.820 the tariff situation

00:46:22.540 that is going on.

00:46:24.700 You know,

00:46:25.340 Ireland's people

00:46:26.260 have not seen

00:46:27.800 the money got to do with this

00:46:30.780 whatsoever.

00:46:31.680 In fact,

00:46:32.700 we have been,

00:46:33.500 you know,

00:46:35.040 robbed of our own money.

00:46:37.420 And yet,

00:46:37.940 yet,

00:46:38.400 yet we are supposed to,

00:46:39.380 it's supposed to be

00:46:39.800 this wealthy country.

00:46:40.940 Yet the people of Ireland

00:46:41.980 are struggling to heat their homes.

00:46:44.160 So,

00:46:45.540 there are many people

00:46:46.380 who are seeing this tariff situation

00:46:47.660 as a,

00:46:48.500 you know,

00:46:48.840 a gotcha moment

00:46:49.580 for our government elite.

00:46:50.660 I'm not so much of that.

00:46:52.040 I wish,

00:46:53.120 I wish for our,

00:46:54.600 our country to be prosperous

00:46:56.020 and our people to be prosperous.

00:46:57.920 And,

00:46:58.520 that's what my aim is.

00:46:59.560 That's what my wish is

00:47:00.420 and my hope is.

00:47:02.500 So,

00:47:02.960 you're not necessarily

00:47:03.680 against the tariffs,

00:47:04.660 it doesn't sound like.

00:47:05.700 Well,

00:47:06.940 our government say,

00:47:08.660 what good is tariffs?

00:47:10.480 Tariffs are no good for nobody.

00:47:12.100 Yet they've been tariffing

00:47:13.100 the United States.

00:47:14.780 You know,

00:47:15.240 if that's the case,

00:47:16.220 then why have we been

00:47:16.760 tariffing them?

00:47:17.840 Why have we been hitting,

00:47:18.720 why have we been hitting them

00:47:19.720 with tariffs?

00:47:20.700 I'm not so much against it.

00:47:22.180 I'm watching it.

00:47:23.600 You know,

00:47:23.880 I'm watching it.

00:47:24.820 I wish for economic success

00:47:27.140 for my nation.

00:47:28.220 And,

00:47:28.720 you know,

00:47:29.880 Ireland deserves it.

00:47:30.800 That's how it's trade.

00:47:31.480 We play at our cards

00:47:32.400 correct in certain ways.

00:47:34.320 And,

00:47:35.240 you know,

00:47:35.560 that's it.

00:47:36.100 But,

00:47:36.540 like I said,

00:47:37.660 fair,

00:47:38.400 it has to be fair.

00:47:39.720 Fairness is,

00:47:40.620 is key here.

00:47:41.980 And that's,

00:47:42.460 that's what I,

00:47:42.900 that's what I push for.

00:47:44.140 Since,

00:47:44.920 no Irish politician,

00:47:48.100 well,

00:47:48.340 you're one of the most,

00:47:49.580 maybe the most famous

00:47:50.480 living Irishman.

00:47:51.460 Okay,

00:47:51.700 so there's that,

00:47:52.460 world famous.

00:47:53.740 And you're saying things

00:47:55.220 that the overwhelming majority

00:47:56.380 of your politicians

00:47:57.140 will not say

00:47:58.120 that are probably

00:47:58.840 pretty popular

00:47:59.560 with the people.

00:48:00.380 So you're therefore

00:48:01.140 a massive threat

00:48:02.600 to the structure

00:48:04.100 running your country now.

00:48:05.600 What do you think

00:48:06.300 they're going to do to you

00:48:06.980 if you keep talking this way?

00:48:08.080 Attempt to tarnish

00:48:12.880 as they are,

00:48:13.820 you know,

00:48:14.240 attempt to disrupt

00:48:15.140 as they are.

00:48:16.360 Or possibly worse.

00:48:18.160 But I do not fear.

00:48:20.120 I do not fear it.

00:48:21.180 Like I said,

00:48:21.900 I move forward under God.

00:48:23.800 And my nation can see,

00:48:25.740 my nation can see

00:48:26.580 my heart

00:48:28.280 and what I'm for.

00:48:30.000 And that's,

00:48:30.740 that's it.

00:48:31.340 That's like,

00:48:31.740 I move on

00:48:32.340 and carry on.

00:48:33.100 You're really not afraid at all?

00:48:34.700 Not an iota.

00:48:36.900 Hmm.

00:48:37.100 When do you have to make

00:48:39.140 the decision about

00:48:39.780 whether you want to

00:48:40.320 formally enter politics?

00:48:42.560 Well,

00:48:42.800 we believe the election

00:48:43.800 will take place

00:48:44.740 November 11th.

00:48:45.760 So it's a 60-day run-up

00:48:47.220 prior to that.

00:48:49.180 So I'm just going to keep,

00:48:50.620 you know,

00:48:50.940 requesting

00:48:51.440 a democratic process

00:48:53.720 to play out

00:48:54.400 and allow the people

00:48:55.640 to decide

00:48:56.440 and see where it falls.

00:48:59.520 You know,

00:48:59.780 it'll become more evident

00:49:00.740 if they deny this,

00:49:02.220 that we are not

00:49:02.780 a democratic country.

00:49:03.640 And they'll have to answer

00:49:04.780 to their constituents

00:49:05.540 at some stage.

00:49:06.960 You know,

00:49:07.220 there will be accountability.

00:49:09.100 You know,

00:49:09.500 it's how much

00:49:10.420 are they going to be

00:49:11.020 accountable for?

00:49:11.820 They'll have to decide.

00:49:13.620 And that's it.

00:49:14.760 You've described yourself

00:49:15.780 as an employer.

00:49:16.860 You said that a couple of times.

00:49:18.340 Tell us about the businesses

00:49:19.480 you employ people in.

00:49:20.740 I've got many businesses

00:49:21.620 here in the country.

00:49:22.900 I've got many,

00:49:23.300 I've got about 300 staff

00:49:24.520 all in.

00:49:25.140 I've got public houses.

00:49:26.660 I've got construction efforts

00:49:28.340 going on,

00:49:28.760 building social houses.

00:49:29.180 Public houses meaning,

00:49:30.200 we would call them bars.

00:49:31.420 Hubs, yeah.

00:49:31.720 Not public housing.

00:49:32.640 No, yeah.

00:49:33.460 No, no, yeah.

00:49:34.180 Pub is short

00:49:35.880 for public house.

00:49:36.960 So I've got public houses.

00:49:38.220 I've got breweries.

00:49:40.040 I've got companies also

00:49:41.840 with brand building.

00:49:44.060 And I have also

00:49:45.020 construction efforts

00:49:45.960 where I'm building

00:49:47.140 many social houses,

00:49:48.540 houses towards

00:49:49.200 the housing crisis

00:49:51.260 that's going on.

00:49:51.840 I'm currently

00:49:52.120 at about 300 houses

00:49:53.640 built already.

00:49:54.920 And, you know,

00:49:55.340 I'm closing in on,

00:49:56.320 you know,

00:49:56.560 my next venture

00:49:57.160 is about 1,000 houses built.

00:49:58.620 So I'm doing my part

00:49:59.960 to help

00:50:01.220 this housing crisis.

00:50:02.940 I've always been doing that.

00:50:04.320 And it is at a heavy cost.

00:50:06.400 I'm not going to lie.

00:50:07.440 It's a heavy cost.

00:50:08.680 What do you mean?

00:50:09.800 Like,

00:50:10.180 there is no profit in it.

00:50:11.680 You know,

00:50:11.960 it's a build

00:50:12.720 and it's for the people

00:50:14.180 and that's it.

00:50:15.480 There's no profit

00:50:16.080 in building houses?

00:50:16.820 No profit in it.

00:50:17.600 You know,

00:50:17.800 for social housing,

00:50:18.780 I'm getting my money,

00:50:20.020 I get my money back

00:50:20.840 if I'm lucky.

00:50:21.920 You know,

00:50:22.140 maybe a little sweet,

00:50:23.740 and a little drink,

00:50:25.060 we'll say,

00:50:25.480 here in Ireland.

00:50:26.280 Yeah.

00:50:26.740 So,

00:50:27.020 but for the stress

00:50:27.840 it does cause you.

00:50:29.200 And the time,

00:50:31.240 it's a difficult task,

00:50:32.680 but it's worth it.

00:50:33.760 You know,

00:50:34.000 there was a time,

00:50:34.580 there was one I'd done.

00:50:35.700 I completed a build

00:50:36.600 of eight houses.

00:50:37.800 It was actually

00:50:38.120 my very first one.

00:50:39.040 It was maybe

00:50:39.300 two years ago.

00:50:41.160 I'm only,

00:50:41.460 I've only,

00:50:42.740 maybe three,

00:50:43.980 four years ago,

00:50:44.820 but it was in a part

00:50:45.880 of Dublin

00:50:46.220 called Santry.

00:50:47.740 And there was eight homes

00:50:48.700 and I had got them completed

00:50:50.140 just before Christmas.

00:50:51.700 So there were

00:50:52.940 eight homeless families

00:50:54.420 that were brought

00:50:55.840 into their new

00:50:56.480 forever home

00:50:57.540 right before Christmas.

00:50:59.000 And that filled me

00:50:59.740 with such energy

00:51:00.840 to continue

00:51:01.700 and go and do it.

00:51:02.480 And I went full steam ahead.

00:51:03.580 And like I said,

00:51:04.020 now I'm in the process.

00:51:05.120 I've got 300 strong now

00:51:06.240 in construction

00:51:07.420 close to finish

00:51:08.140 and,

00:51:08.740 you know,

00:51:09.400 more than a thousand

00:51:10.460 being built already.

00:51:12.180 And that's what me,

00:51:13.280 my own self,

00:51:14.600 able to do this

00:51:15.360 with every,

00:51:16.580 every block

00:51:18.180 in my way,

00:51:19.740 you know,

00:51:20.060 as one

00:51:21.440 individual citizen

00:51:22.360 of Ireland,

00:51:23.120 if I was to get in

00:51:24.420 and to have influence,

00:51:27.620 I really fancy my chances.

00:51:29.540 I mean,

00:51:30.140 the bar is so low.

00:51:31.940 Every statistic,

00:51:33.280 every metric

00:51:33.880 is on the floor.

00:51:35.920 Every metric

00:51:36.500 is on the floor.

00:51:37.580 I'd get in

00:51:38.080 and I'd be able to,

00:51:39.180 I'd be able to decrease

00:51:40.200 our homelessness,

00:51:41.300 you know,

00:51:41.560 build our housing,

00:51:42.820 you know,

00:51:43.460 slow down the role

00:51:44.980 of influx

00:51:45.480 of illegal migration,

00:51:47.060 control the spending.

00:51:48.420 I fancy it.

00:51:49.740 Our country

00:51:50.080 has not been run correct.

00:51:50.820 And it is clearly evident

00:51:52.480 to everybody

00:51:53.580 outside of the political

00:51:55.520 paywall.

00:51:57.020 Everyone is aware of it.

00:51:58.160 And even those

00:51:59.080 inside of the political

00:52:00.000 paywall

00:52:00.560 are also aware of it.

00:52:02.900 However,

00:52:03.280 they are being bullied,

00:52:04.400 intimidated,

00:52:05.280 and threatened

00:52:06.020 with their livelihood

00:52:06.660 unless they go along with it.

00:52:08.380 So,

00:52:09.120 a turn will happen,

00:52:10.000 a shift will happen.

00:52:11.240 I'm doing my part

00:52:12.360 and I'm proud to do so

00:52:15.080 and honored to do so

00:52:15.840 and I will continue

00:52:16.480 to fight

00:52:17.080 for my country

00:52:18.080 and the future

00:52:19.100 of the children

00:52:20.220 of this nation.

00:52:21.160 And that's it.

00:52:22.140 Do you really sincerely,

00:52:23.440 be honest,

00:52:24.100 think that your beer

00:52:24.760 is better than Guinness?

00:52:26.600 So,

00:52:27.920 it's another level.

00:52:29.020 It's the world's

00:52:29.580 creamiest stout.

00:52:30.480 Not only is it better tasting,

00:52:31.860 it is better pricing.

00:52:33.120 It is brewed right here

00:52:34.000 in Dublin

00:52:34.320 and there's an employer

00:52:35.300 of about 100 people

00:52:36.080 in that brewery.

00:52:36.980 It's a fantastic brewery

00:52:38.400 and the Forge Brewery,

00:52:39.680 you can go and visit it

00:52:40.360 if you have time.

00:52:41.160 But we will go and

00:52:42.020 test it if you wish.

00:52:43.360 I would fancy

00:52:44.160 a blind taste test

00:52:45.420 any day of the week

00:52:47.060 and I guarantee victory.

00:52:48.740 We have done

00:52:49.760 amazing things

00:52:50.880 with the stout

00:52:51.620 to date

00:52:53.200 and it's still only

00:52:53.840 on the rise.

00:52:55.120 But there have been

00:52:55.820 many taste tests done.

00:52:57.680 So,

00:52:57.820 there's a couple of stouts.

00:52:58.600 Guinness is the top

00:52:59.320 at the minute.

00:53:00.120 We are number two

00:53:01.000 on the rise.

00:53:01.960 And then there's

00:53:02.320 some other brands.

00:53:03.360 You know,

00:53:03.560 there's some other great

00:53:04.140 Irish brands,

00:53:04.860 Morphe's and Beamish.

00:53:06.120 It's a shared pot.

00:53:06.980 A rising tide

00:53:07.560 raises all ships.

00:53:08.760 You know, 0.78

00:53:09.160 the others are bullies. 0.62

00:53:11.100 Yeah? 0.99

00:53:11.420 The others are bullies.

00:53:12.220 I wish to build up 0.89

00:53:13.520 all our stouts

00:53:14.720 and all our,

00:53:15.300 you know,

00:53:15.540 because Ireland,

00:53:16.320 we are world champions

00:53:17.360 at making stout

00:53:18.020 like we are the world champions

00:53:19.140 at making whiskey.

00:53:20.400 It's put them all

00:53:21.780 to the test

00:53:22.260 on a blind taste test

00:53:23.780 Forge Irish Stout.

00:53:25.120 It's just a little weird.

00:53:26.100 I guess I didn't realize

00:53:27.080 that Guinness

00:53:27.580 was an English company.

00:53:29.340 So after...

00:53:29.720 Yeah, this is the Agile owned,

00:53:30.420 yes.

00:53:30.920 And they were,

00:53:31.580 yeah.

00:53:32.220 Centuries of colonial oppression

00:53:34.100 and they're still selling

00:53:35.060 their stout here?

00:53:36.080 You know,

00:53:36.460 if you're not held accountable

00:53:37.680 or you've got,

00:53:38.280 you know,

00:53:38.740 you're free to do

00:53:39.700 as you will.

00:53:40.680 That is what it is

00:53:41.460 with Guinness.

00:53:42.540 Even as they go in,

00:53:43.860 I'm a publican also,

00:53:44.960 so I own pubs.

00:53:45.980 So I deal with Guinness

00:53:47.040 and I serve Guinness.

00:53:48.100 I serve my competitor,

00:53:49.080 no problem.

00:53:49.500 We outsell it 10 to 1.

00:53:51.020 10 points to 1,

00:53:51.920 we outsell it on site.

00:53:53.460 But, you know,

00:53:54.120 other publicans

00:53:54.940 are dealing with

00:53:55.820 Guinness distributors

00:53:57.500 and they're not,

00:53:59.260 they're not friendly,

00:54:00.120 they're not supportive,

00:54:01.560 you know,

00:54:01.780 because they've never

00:54:02.320 had to be in.

00:54:03.100 And then when I came

00:54:03.840 onto the scene

00:54:04.460 with Forge Irish Stout,

00:54:05.860 all of a sudden

00:54:06.700 they start coming

00:54:07.360 and shaking the publicans'

00:54:08.920 hand a little bit differently.

00:54:09.880 They start acting Irish.

00:54:11.060 They start,

00:54:11.560 they were held accountable.

00:54:12.700 They had to be,

00:54:13.160 they had to be by the book.

00:54:14.880 It was creating fairness.

00:54:16.740 And then there was

00:54:17.420 a hit job done on me

00:54:18.560 and it kind of took me

00:54:19.780 out of the market

00:54:20.340 here in Ireland

00:54:20.820 for a minute

00:54:21.300 and that's kind of

00:54:22.580 what happened.

00:54:23.460 And it was,

00:54:25.060 it is what it is,

00:54:26.600 you know,

00:54:26.860 but I have the best Stout

00:54:28.060 in Ireland,

00:54:28.620 Forge Irish Stout for sure.

00:54:30.120 Interesting.

00:54:30.720 And you're going to have one.

00:54:31.460 You don't drink, do you?

00:54:32.420 You don't drink any more.

00:54:33.140 No, I had a Guinness

00:54:34.480 no alcohol last night.

00:54:36.000 We can get you one of them.

00:54:36.900 We've got the 0-0s 0.75

00:54:38.280 on site for sure.

00:54:40.420 We'll get you one of them.

00:54:41.120 Yeah, it was okay.

00:54:42.200 Yeah, that's nice.

00:54:43.460 So in sad news,

00:54:45.060 I know you said you're a,

00:54:46.600 you know,

00:54:47.320 looking at the bright side

00:54:48.360 kind of guy,

00:54:49.080 but Rosie O'Donnell 1.00

00:54:50.360 has moved here.

00:54:51.740 If you're president

00:54:53.640 and you tackle

00:54:55.060 the immigration crisis

00:54:56.140 and I do think

00:54:57.440 Pakistan and India

00:54:58.400 take a lot of the blame

00:54:59.340 for it,

00:55:00.060 Africa,

00:55:00.580 but also Rosie O'Donnell,

00:55:01.880 like, would you deport her?

00:55:03.960 Can you promise to deport her?

00:55:04.840 What is her criminal history?

00:55:06.200 Has she got a criminal background?

00:55:07.240 How did she enter the country?

00:55:08.240 Did she enter the country illegally?

00:55:09.840 Has she assimilated

00:55:10.620 with our community?

00:55:12.040 Does she hold our beliefs?

00:55:13.760 Is she,

00:55:14.400 is she a upstanding member

00:55:16.460 of our community?

00:55:17.720 No.

00:55:17.740 Or would she be?

00:55:18.640 If she is not,

00:55:19.340 well then she's got to go.

00:55:20.420 You ain't got to go home,

00:55:22.140 you got to get the head

00:55:22.800 out of here.

00:55:23.640 But I don't know

00:55:24.440 Rosie O'Donnell from Adam,

00:55:26.420 but you know,

00:55:27.940 I believe she's a comedian.

00:55:30.280 I've seen her

00:55:31.000 on our national TV,

00:55:32.380 she spoke a bit ill of me.

00:55:33.980 I don't know Rosie.

00:55:35.260 She seems unhappy,

00:55:36.400 she seems going through

00:55:37.860 something at the moment

00:55:38.740 and I'm not the type of person

00:55:40.220 to kick a person

00:55:41.220 when they're down.

00:55:42.200 I wish for her,

00:55:43.100 I believe she's a comedian

00:55:44.100 is what her craft is. 0.95

00:55:45.260 I wish for her

00:55:45.920 to find her happiness again

00:55:47.360 and that is it.

00:55:48.960 I am,

00:55:49.440 you know,

00:55:50.280 that was what I would say.

00:55:52.080 But you could feel

00:55:52.180 that she was going

00:55:52.860 through something even.

00:55:53.880 I could feel it for sure.

00:55:55.320 I think that's right.

00:55:55.920 And I wish for her,

00:55:56.340 I wish,

00:55:57.440 you know,

00:55:57.900 happiness and spread love

00:55:59.160 in the world.

00:55:59.740 That's it.

00:56:00.400 Well,

00:56:00.580 you're a very,

00:56:01.220 very decent man,

00:56:02.320 I have to say.

00:56:03.820 Last question,

00:56:04.700 do you,

00:56:05.740 do you think that Ireland

00:56:07.720 is like famously

00:56:08.420 a spiritual country?

00:56:09.920 Mm-hmm.

00:56:10.360 You know,

00:56:10.700 your patron Saint,

00:56:12.080 Saint Patrick,

00:56:12.760 after whom the day is named,

00:56:13.940 you know,

00:56:14.120 was a Christian leader

00:56:15.180 and you think of Ireland

00:56:16.000 as like a very religious country,

00:56:17.060 it's not really anymore.

00:56:18.640 Do you think it's becoming

00:56:19.760 more spiritually aware

00:56:20.760 or less?

00:56:21.200 Yeah,

00:56:21.400 for sure.

00:56:22.040 Mm-hmm.

00:56:22.960 Mm-hmm.

00:56:23.940 So you feel that?

00:56:24.960 Yeah,

00:56:25.160 for sure.

00:56:26.840 It's spiritual warfare

00:56:28.100 going on right here,

00:56:29.200 100%.

00:56:29.900 Yes.

00:56:30.380 And we fancy our chances.

00:56:33.260 We fancy our chances

00:56:34.480 in a big way.
