Summary
Dutch journalist Eva Blanchard joins Jemele to discuss her ban from traveling to the UK, and why she thinks it's a good thing she's not allowed to travel there. Plus, a new Amazon film based on the life of First Lady Melania Trump.
Transcript
00:00:00.000
We're excited to tell you about a new project from Amazon MGM called Melania.
00:00:04.700
For years, the people in charge have tried to tell you who she is, but they didn't show you who she is.
00:00:11.040
Every protocol, every precaution, every single move, particularly coordinated.
00:00:15.880
This new film takes you inside the 20 days leading up to the 2025 presidential inauguration.
00:00:21.080
And it does it through the eyes of the first lady, Melania Trump.
0.97
00:00:24.040
The briefings, the plannings, the private conversations.
00:00:27.380
Witness what it takes to get there, to become first lady of the United States.
00:00:41.680
Eva, this is, I was reading this story this morning and I was thinking, I can't believe they did this to a Dutch journalist.
00:00:49.640
So I just want, look, I, I just want to read you back, back to you, the letter that you received from the British government to confirm that you actually received this.
00:01:00.140
And it says your UK visa basically has been canceled.
00:01:04.100
This means you cannot travel to the UK without a visa.
00:01:08.760
This is because your presence in the UK is not considered to be productive to the public good.
00:01:23.840
I mean, I was, I was going through my emails yesterday and I saw this subject line saying that they changed something to my ETA application.
00:01:36.820
I'm not, you know, planning on traveling to the UK right now.
00:01:40.200
So I just opened it and I saw this very, I mean, you have the email.
00:01:46.560
And it just said, we revoked your ETA because we, we consider you not conducive to the public good and you have no right to appeal.
00:01:56.180
And, and so I was like, what, you know, what, what is this?
00:02:01.200
And then, you know, I started thinking like, what could this be?
00:02:05.400
And then I realized that I criticized Keira Starmer a couple of days earlier on X.
00:02:15.100
You, you described Starmer, who's the prime minister of the country, the elected official, um, as an evil, despicable man for allowing the ongoing rape and killing of British girls by a migrant rape gang.
00:02:30.960
You're making a political point, an entirely defensible political point.
00:02:33.920
And you believe that because you said that, you are now banned from the country.
00:02:40.680
I really don't see any other reason as to why they otherwise would have done this right now.
00:02:45.380
As I said, I, you know, I applied for this electronic travel authorization back in September, uh, because I went and spoke at the, um, Unite the Kingdom rally organized by Tommy Robinson.
00:02:55.940
And I, I spoke about re-migration and the need for that.
1.00
00:02:58.660
Like, and, you know, now because of Brexit, Europeans have to apply for an ETA as when we go to America, we have to apply for an ESTA, right?
00:03:07.340
And this was approved back in September within minutes.
00:03:14.060
And now, out of the blue, as I said, I received that email saying they revoked it.
00:03:19.660
And I'm not, you know, I'm not traveling to the United Kingdom anytime soon.
00:03:22.940
I didn't book any tickets, you know, to fly there.
00:03:25.860
So, the only thing that I could think about was that I said what I said about Keir Starmer.
00:03:32.560
Uh, just three days before they informed me of that decision.
00:03:36.320
So, I mean, it's really hard not to connect the dots there.
00:03:38.840
And it's also very much in line with his track record.
00:03:42.500
And I suppose it proves my point, you know, that the UK is on a path to become a very unfree country where dissident voices are criticized.
00:03:54.020
Um, and obviously, I'm not a citizen of the United Kingdom, so they can't do that to me.
00:03:58.180
But this is something that they can do, apparently.
00:04:00.840
The continent is descending into darkness, uh, once again, clearly.
00:04:06.640
What, what do you think big picture this tells us about what's happening in Europe, in the UK specifically?
00:04:15.480
I mean, in the UK, this, this is the definition of a totalitarian state, right?
00:04:21.600
This is the definition of a dictatorship in a sense that you are apparently not allowed to criticize its supreme leader
00:04:31.100
And this is quite a severe limitation of my freedom in the sense that I was given no due process.
00:04:38.160
I have no right to appeal, that's what it stated in the email, uh, for the crime, quote-unquote, of giving my opinion.
00:04:46.620
And so that, that is bad, you know, that is not, that's not a normal way, uh, for things to happen in so-called free societies.
00:04:55.760
So, you know, no matter what you think my opinions are, if they're right, wrong, radical, not radical,
00:05:04.200
should it be a ground for a government to say to a woman with no criminal record whatsoever,
00:05:10.620
who wants to visit a country for, you know, just a couple of days, once a year maybe, tops,
00:05:17.060
to say, no, you're not allowed, but we are going to allow thousands of illegal immigrants to cross the channel every day
00:05:26.200
and enter the UK, and nobody's asking them anything, you know, they're not even, they're not asking their passports,
00:05:31.960
so let alone whether they're asking if they're conducive to the public good.
00:05:35.600
I mean, that is, that is an incredibly dystopian thing to read, since when is being conducive to the public good,
00:05:43.620
a requirement to enter a country, and also who decides that, and why do I have no right to appeal?
00:05:50.420
You know, those are serious things in countries that claim to uphold the rule of law, that claim to be democracies.
00:05:58.560
And I guess we already knew, you know, that those were, let's say, illusions in our countries at this point,
00:06:08.280
but to have it, you know, happen to you in such a personal manner, like, yeah, I now realize that I cannot go and visit many of my friends.
00:06:18.060
I can't go to the next rally, which is planned for May.
00:06:21.600
I cannot set foot in a country that I otherwise love, you know, I don't love the establishment, but I love the people,
00:06:30.680
And, of course, the UK arrests far more people every year for criticizing the British government
00:06:36.000
than Putin has arrested for criticizing him, or the Saudis have arrested for criticizing MBS.
00:06:43.140
I mean, it's not just repressive, it's far more repressive than countries we are told are authoritarian or totalitarian.
00:06:54.340
And the same thing is happening on the continent in Europe, by the way.
00:06:57.820
I mean, good that you bring up Russia, because I don't know, I think not many people are aware of this,
00:07:03.040
but something incredible happened here just a month ago, where the European Union put out sanctions,
00:07:11.280
like restrictive measures, and placed them on European citizens, who they claim, and I quote,
00:07:18.060
were distributing or manipulating false information.
00:07:23.280
So they were saying that these citizens were destabilizing Ukraine on behalf of the Russian government,
00:07:32.520
that's at least their claim, by manipulating information in the European Union.
00:07:37.340
But as far as I know, Ukraine is not a member of the European Union.
00:07:42.520
So why would they feel the need to protect, you know, the stability of that nation?
00:07:48.080
And second of all, those people just received, again, just like me, they just received that decision by the European Union.
00:07:56.420
And what happened to them is far worse than what happened to me, because they froze their assets.
00:08:03.560
And this was a decision made by the European Council.
00:08:07.640
No due process, no court order, no fair trial, nothing.
00:08:12.540
So the European Union is doing that to its own citizens, under the pretext of, you know, sanctioning Russia.
00:08:22.180
These are people whose lives have been destroyed.
00:08:24.920
And it's not getting any media attention whatsoever.
00:08:29.760
So, you know, there is clearly an increasing totalitarian wind blowing through this continent.
00:08:38.320
And, well, apart from this travel ban, I've also personally fallen victim to it just last year, receiving a notification from Apple saying that my phone is under mercenary spyware attack.
00:08:53.680
Like, we have governments, we don't know exactly which one, or the EU, freezing assets of citizens, looking at me and you probably as we speak through this phone right now.
00:09:05.200
Like, again, that is not what is supposed to happen in democratic societies, especially not when those people doing it are the ones who constantly trumpet that.
00:09:18.820
I'm really actually very concerned as to where this is heading.
00:09:22.580
Well, 2026 is likely to be the year that some companies will find patriotism.
00:09:27.960
During the Biden years, corporate America thought hating our country was the thing to do, so they did it.
00:09:32.020
Now that we're in a new era, they are coming back to reality.
00:09:38.700
Black Rifle means it, and they've been doing it since day one.
1.00
00:09:46.500
As this country celebrates 250 years of existence, Black Rifle is brewing bold American roasted beans built for people who believe in the values that made America great.
00:09:56.180
So kick off 2026 with roasts made for patriots, not spectators.
00:10:01.280
And for the new year, Black Rifle is launching cold brew coffee cans in just black and vanilla.
00:10:15.280
Their new zero-sugar energy drinks with 200 milligrams of caffeine.
00:10:20.800
That's about half the output of a nuclear power plant.
00:10:32.600
Or find Black Rifle at Walmart, Target, Kroger, wherever great products are sold.
00:10:40.000
So the new year is here, but that does not mean you've got to overhaul your whole life, despite claims to the contrary.
00:10:48.420
Make a few changes here and there, and you'll be a lot better off.
00:10:52.000
And you can start with the snacks in your pantry.
00:10:55.000
Now, products from standard American chip brands are, let's be honest, pretty repulsive.
00:10:59.600
Filled with chemicals that make you feel heavy and bloated.
00:11:07.940
Masta is the easiest way to eat clean without feeling like you're on a diet.
00:11:14.000
Organic corn, sea salt, 100% grass-fed beef tallow.
00:11:18.620
No seed oils, no mystery chemicals, just food, actual food.
00:11:26.820
We particularly enjoyed the Kobanero flavor lately.

Stop by and pick up a couple of bags before somebody else does.
00:12:01.260
And we're in the very infancy of AI supercomputing the ability of governments to actually control
00:12:10.040
their populations at the level of the individual in a way that no government has ever been capable
00:12:16.420
And so if you marry bad intent to increase capacity for repression, you could wind up
00:12:25.000
with an open-air prison camp the size of a continent very quickly.
00:12:31.060
Well, that is exactly what is happening now to just a few individuals.
00:12:34.820
But we don't know how fast this will happen to the entire continent.
00:12:39.240
Maybe you guys have heard of the chat control proposal, right, that the EU wanted to enforce,
00:12:46.200
But now they're trying it through another backdoor again.
00:12:49.900
They want to basically be able to read all of our messages under the guise of preventing,
00:12:55.480
you know, child pornography, et cetera, from being spread.
00:13:01.420
They're really worried about Epstein's friends are really worried about child pornography.
00:13:10.100
They are going to be scanning our messages to see if any of that material is being spread,
00:13:17.880
But it means that these unelected bureaucrats are reading all of your messages, essentially,
00:13:26.260
And I don't know when people are going to wake up to all of these pretexts, right,
00:13:31.940
Just like Keir Starmer last week said that he wanted to ban X because of women's safety
00:13:39.540
Because Croc was making those bikini edits.
0.99
00:13:43.480
But I mean, do we have to talk to the man about the Rotterdam rapes and stuff?
00:13:46.860
You know, like, it's honestly, it's laughable, but it has real life consequences for real life
00:13:53.260
And I think what you said about Europe turning into an open air prison is just right.
1.00
00:14:04.580
How do you unelect people that you've never elected in the first place?
00:14:09.440
You know, how do you get your rights back when it's just presented to you that someone
00:14:14.120
has taken them away from you and they've granted themselves that power?
00:14:23.580
So what are the rules for speech in Europe, if we could get specific about this?
00:14:28.420
Because I think it helps to understand why it's happening, who's doing it, if we understand
00:14:34.140
So what are you not allowed to say in Europe right now?
00:14:38.280
Well, essentially, you are not allowed really to criticize the establishment.
00:14:43.720
You are not, especially not allowed to talk about the replacement migration going on
00:14:48.120
in Europe, if you say, look, we are soon, white people, the native people of Europe are
00:14:54.320
soon becoming a minority in their own homelands, which is factually true, like before the end
1.00
00:15:01.520
of the century, that's the case in most European countries, even before the end of the first
00:15:06.040
half of the century, actually, if you say that, they're going to stop you with a hate speech
00:15:11.760
They're going to say that that is hateful language, inflicting racial hatred, etc.
00:15:18.680
So that seems to be the common denominator, especially talking about immigration and the
00:15:25.740
effects of that, linking it to crime, which is obvious.
00:15:29.680
You know, you only need your two eyes to know that that is the case.
00:15:32.900
That's something that really seems to bother them.
00:15:37.100
I mean, so clearly there is a very well organized, very well funded effort to eliminate the white
1.00
00:15:44.760
I mean, because it is being eliminated and you're not allowed to notice it.
00:15:47.780
You'll be punished by police and courts you pay for if you notice what's happening to your
00:16:04.140
But it seems that all of these leaders that we have, be it Keir Starmer, be it Ursula von
00:16:09.760
der Leyen, be it Merz in Germany, be it Macron, they all follow the same playbook.
00:16:16.540
They all say the same things, literally post the same things, you know, in their communications
00:16:22.660
They might focus on slightly different subjects here and there, but the agenda is the same
00:16:28.620
And it's the erosion essentially of our borders, of our nation states, of our heritage.
00:16:33.240
I don't have to tell you or your audience that.
00:16:42.860
But what I can tell you is that the people who are rolling out these agendas are doing
00:16:47.900
it out in the open, in front of our faces, and they keep getting re-elected.
00:16:53.420
So I, you know, I have made it my mission, at least, to talk about those people and target
00:16:58.760
them specifically because they are the ones that are in front of us, you know, rolling
00:17:15.480
His reputation is smart, clever, and cunning, skilled politically.
00:17:21.720
But I know a fair amount about Keir Starmer, and you will never convince me, at gunpoint
00:17:27.800
even, that Keir Starmer is making independent decisions about the future of Britain.
00:17:42.740
And I think it's clear to the British population.
00:17:48.600
No, I mean, I don't know who's giving those orders.
00:17:50.740
I think if we would know, you know, it would be easier to stop this from happening, right?
00:17:56.260
But that is, I think, part of the agenda is that we don't exactly quite know who's behind
00:18:01.360
Of course, we're fighting a very bureaucratic system also in Europe.
00:18:05.400
There are, in the European Union, like, tons of high government officials whom we don't
00:18:12.960
even know by name, yet have billions and billions of euros at their disposal to roll
00:18:19.800
out an agenda that goes against our interests, that literally wants to replace us.
00:18:24.960
It's crumbling our economy and is essentially just destroying this continent.
00:18:31.180
So, I mean, I've heard people say before that this is all part of fifth generation warfare,
00:18:36.380
that it's part of the game, that you don't know exactly who your enemy is.
00:18:42.200
But once again, you know, it doesn't stop us from saying these people that we do see on
00:18:52.200
And we need them out of office because that gives people at least, you know, some sort of
00:18:57.200
action that they can take, even though already that is difficult.
00:19:00.880
And that's something that I hate to say, but in Europe, the majority still of your average
00:19:06.920
Dutchman, your average Frenchman is not even aware of that.
00:19:11.280
So we have a lot of work to do in that respect.
00:19:17.000
It doesn't matter whether they're the prison guard or the warden, they're still participating
00:19:22.040
in an indefensible system, hurting and killing people.
00:19:27.140
So like, I guess that's all we really need to know.
00:19:29.280
But it is frustrating when you see a coordinated effort like the one underway to eliminate white
0.98
00:19:36.160
It's the biggest thing that's happened in our lifetimes.
00:19:40.840
It's the biggest thing that's happened in our lifetime.
00:19:42.340
And especially if you can't speak about it without running the risk of being thrown in
00:19:45.880
jail, might I add that to what I just told you, right?
00:19:50.100
As a, and let's say, in addition to the answers that I'm giving you here, is that we in Europe
00:19:55.060
run the risk of being thrown in jail when we talk about this too liberally.
00:19:59.560
I want the American audience to understand that there are certain things that we really
00:20:08.920
And we definitely do not have a second amendment to support it.
00:20:12.640
So that makes our situation, you know, considerably different, especially for political commentators,
00:20:22.920
It is, it is really more challenging, let's say, especially when you have a family that
00:20:30.620
It seems to me the final piece of the control grid would be digital currencies, because at
00:20:34.760
that point, of course, they can starve you to death if you get out of line.
00:20:43.740
The European Union is working on their digital euro, has been for a while, and I think they're
00:20:47.820
planning to roll it out this year, actually, or maybe beginning of 2027.
00:20:52.200
So once that hits, same story, of course, they say that it's all voluntary, that you
00:20:57.060
don't have to use it, but it's just a matter of time until they do.
00:21:02.700
But yes, that is, of course, going to be the final instrument that they can use to control
00:21:10.580
But as I said, they're already freezing the bank accounts of people who they deem to be
00:21:17.640
With giving their opinion, journalists who are writing about their opinions concerning the
00:21:23.800
So they don't necessarily need CBDCs to do incredibly unlawful things and say that they
00:21:30.480
do it in order to protect stability and democracy.
00:21:33.860
For years, you've been told this is not happening and you're a bigot for thinking it is, but
00:21:39.920
Mass migration is reshaping the West completely.
0.93
00:21:51.920
It's the biggest fact of this or any generation in a thousand years.
00:21:59.080
European governments aren't just tolerating mass migration.
00:22:04.600
They hate their populations and they want new populations.
00:22:08.180
We've got a new documentary on this called Replacing Europe, Following the World's Deadliest
00:22:13.880
Our filmmakers follow what nobody wants you to see.
00:22:15.780
They spoke directly with migrants, locals, officials who admit what the public is never told.
00:22:25.940
It's destroying the West and our cameras caught it.
00:22:35.680
You live there, so you have a better sense than I do.
00:22:38.780
But how far from some kind of revolution would you say European populations are?
00:22:44.560
Are people getting, do they understand what's happening?
00:22:53.100
You know, I think we need to have all eyes on Germany.
0.91
00:22:56.560
I think what is going to happen there with the elections, whether AFD is going to end up
00:23:02.220
becoming the biggest party, that is going to make a huge difference in terms of our future.
00:23:07.900
When we're talking revolution or uproar, you know, I can't even really talk about revolution because before I know it, you would have a police officer standing in front of your door saying that you are inciting that.
00:23:22.880
I really don't know whether that is, whether we're there yet.
00:23:27.860
I think that that is part of the problem is that there are still large, large parts of the population in Europe that is just not aware, especially if they're not on X, if they're not following alternative media.
00:23:41.960
You know, I don't mean to say that Fox News is a very truth-telling right-wing news channel, but we don't even have anything like that.
00:23:51.680
You know, you're not even close to that in, let's say, the Netherlands where I'm from.
00:23:59.540
So if that is what you're consuming all day, every day, you know, you don't see a problem in this.
00:24:05.340
You don't see that people are being thrown in jail in the UK for expressing their opinions.
00:24:09.860
Like, those types of news stories just don't reach a large part of the population.
00:24:18.520
I do think that there is a big sentiment that is growing that this cannot go on the way that it has.
00:24:26.700
Like, the European Union especially has taken too much power, has granted itself too much power.
00:24:33.160
And I do feel that they're going to be cracks, let's say, in that foundation in the next couple of years.
00:24:41.460
I don't know if it's going to be fast enough, you know?
00:24:43.400
Like, when we're looking at our demographic change, at a certain point, when you become totally outnumbered, you become minorities.
00:24:49.740
I don't want to say it's over because it's never over.
00:24:52.900
But it's going to be very difficult for us to reverse that.
00:25:00.020
Keep in mind, though, that the UK voted to leave the European Union 10 years ago in 2016, Brexit.
00:25:11.640
And it does seem more in line with, more in coordination with the EU than it was 10 years ago.
00:25:19.220
So you sort of wonder, like, maybe there are deeper forces at work here than just the horrible anti-human bureaucracy in Brussels.
00:25:31.600
I think that that is a really good argument to say that there is a more sinister global agenda going on here.
00:25:39.000
Same thing in my country, back in the Netherlands.
00:25:43.220
We keep on electing people that, you know, destroy our country.
00:25:51.780
I honestly wonder, you know, when you talk to people on the streets.
00:25:56.900
They're not saying that they want those things.
00:25:59.580
They're not saying that they want replacement migration.
00:26:03.980
They're not saying that they want a digital euro.
00:26:08.460
They're constantly being pushed down our throats, all of those agenda points.
00:26:14.460
It's too much in sync everywhere to not see that pattern.
00:26:19.780
And do you, in the United States, you're seeing everywhere signs of spiritual renewal, Christian religious revival.
00:26:27.240
Are you sensing that in Europe since you live there?
00:26:35.920
Europe is a highly, highly secularized continent, especially Northwestern Europe.
00:26:41.740
Also, for context, it was like when I started doing commentary for a more American audience, you know,
00:26:48.560
I noticed and involved myself more in American politics.
00:26:52.400
I really noticed how often people talk about their faith in God, how often he is mentioned,
00:26:58.600
and how often they speak about Jesus also in political discourse.
00:27:02.320
Now, you can have your opinions about that, whether it's always genuine or not, but he's mentioned.
00:27:07.620
Here, if you do that in Europe, you get ridiculed.
00:27:13.200
You know, I grew up in a country where if you said you were a Christian, people would immediately say,
00:27:18.820
how is that possible, though you have a university education, like, that's so stupid.
00:27:23.460
Like, how come that you believe in a fairy tale?
00:27:29.580
And I think that that also explains why we've gone down the deep end as far as we have.
00:27:41.040
they don't recognize the idea or the concept of good and evil.
00:27:44.440
So if you don't see that, if you don't believe that God exists,
00:27:49.240
if you don't believe that good exists, then you don't believe that evil exists.
00:27:53.380
And so you will just always write it off as incompetence at best.
00:27:58.520
Or you'll say, no, that's just a different viewpoint or everything is relative.
00:28:02.880
And that's exactly what has gotten us where we are today.
00:28:08.940
Yeah, I was about to ask, like, how's that worked out for the Netherlands?
00:28:18.680
I mean, the country is on a great path, isn't it?
00:28:20.800
So, and indeed, really, really bad long-term strategy,
00:28:24.140
but also really, really bad short-term strategy.
00:28:37.780
So it's both bad in the long run and in the short run.
00:28:44.400
I mean, I converted to Catholicism a couple of years ago, personally.
00:28:53.160
But only 2.7%, for example, of the Dutch population is a practicing Catholic.
00:29:00.380
You have, like, 50% in name, at least, is Protestant.
00:29:07.800
That tells you, you know, the situation of my homeland.
00:29:35.500
You know, unless, you know, I don't want to spend my days in a prison cell because I will
00:29:42.500
And I'm genuinely fearful that that is where we are heading, that that's what they will
00:29:47.400
do to people like me who voice the things that I think.
00:29:52.620
But as long as I have, you know, I will do everything in my power to avoid that from
00:30:00.420
You know, I really do think that we should all have hope, even though it looks bleak for
00:30:04.880
us, because if you lose the hope, you know, there's no point in fighting.
00:30:08.640
And that's the last thing that I want, because I think it's the first thing that our
00:30:12.560
establishment wants is for people here to become demoralized, to say things like, oh,
00:30:19.840
You know, if you're white, you should just go.
1.00
00:30:21.820
It's like, no, these are the these are the lands of our ancestors and they should be the
00:30:28.680
That that is if you know, that's that's worth fighting for, I would say.
00:30:43.900
Things around the world are moving so fast right now, it's impossible to keep up with
00:30:50.900
But we do know that when those changes happen, markets change, too, and nothing changes faster
00:30:56.960
than the price of precious metals, gold and silver.
00:31:00.060
It just shifts in an instant because it is a reaction to and against what's happening
00:31:08.700
If you're thinking about adding precious metals, and you definitely should, we do, you
00:31:13.940
need to know when prices are going to move and why they're moving.
00:31:17.580
And Battalion Metals makes that all really simple.
00:31:22.160
Try calling your broker in the public equities market.
00:31:24.380
No, this is a new world, and Battalion makes it a transparent and honest world.
