Ezra Levant hosts Councillor Glenn Moore and journalist Philip Dwyer, who detail Ireland’s July 2024 crackdown on anti-immigration protests, including baton charges and pepper-spray arrests—Dwyer jailed while filming in Kulak, a Dublin neighborhood slated for a 500-person migrant camp. Moore, targeted despite legal protest, warns of "cancel culture" silencing dissent, while both blame EU policies for surging crime tied to non-European migrants, citing overcrowded prisons and economic strain. Their frustration reveals a broader cultural shift: Ireland’s rapid growth and woke ideology have allegedly erased traditional values, leaving critics isolated as authorities ignore public backlash, risking societal collapse under unchecked immigration. [Automatically generated summary]
We found two experts in what's going on in the migration crisis.
One, a citizen journalist, another an elected politician who's not afraid to challenge the mass migration to this little country.
We'll talk to them about what's going on.
I'd love it if you could see what we're talking about.

All right, here's today's podcast.
Tonight, we talked to two experts about what's going on in Ireland, a politician and a journalist.
It's July 17th, and this is the Ezra Levant show.
Shame on you, you censorious bug.
I am still in Ireland.
I'm trying to learn as much as I can in as brief a period as possible.
That's always a dangerous thing.
But in Ireland, things are so stark.
I think we're picking up some dramatic points.
Ireland has a mass immigration ideology that is in some ways even worse than Canada's.
For one thing, they are deploying the police with batons and pepper spray against protesters who speak out.
It's an astonishing thing.
Just like we have our Wroxham Road border where migrants walk across from the United States into Canada, the UK borders Ireland.
Remember, there's Northern Ireland, which is part of the UK.
So fake bogus refugees make their way to France and then they take a dinghy across the water to the UK.
And then once in the UK, they make their way to Northern Ireland and then they waltz across into Ireland where they put up.
When I say four-star hotels, I mean four-star hotels.
We'll have a show later for you this week showing that.
And it's bogus refugees, along with some genuine refugees, I'm sure.
You might recall from my last visit here that Ireland took 100,000 Ukrainian refugees.
Remember, Ireland only has 5 million citizens.
Proportionately, that would be like Canada taking nearly 1 million.
So the Ukrainians filled up Ireland.
Now, by the way, a lot of Irish people I've spoken to say the Ukrainians have been very good.
They're peaceful.
They're trying to integrate.
I'm just reporting what they said to me.
Very different from the bogus refugees that make their way from Asia, Africa, Arabia, under false pretenses, sneak across the border and then say, I'm here for asylum.
Later in this week, you'll see me coming face to face with some of those military-aged single men.
You'll see what the Irish have to put up with.
Anyways, yesterday we showed you about a poor neighborhood in Dublin called Kulak, where the government has announced they're going to have a refugee center for 500 or more single men.
That's another difference between Ireland and Canada.
In Ireland, they just poof announce there's going to be a refugee camp, and it's announced at the federal level, the national level, and there's nothing anyone can do about it.
There's no town halls, no planning, no impact assessments.
It's just announced.
And if you oppose it, you're deemed far right.
So in today's show, we're going to have two interviews.
The first with a citizen journalist who is trying to cover this story.
And he was there in Kulak a couple of days ago.
The police arrested him.
He wasn't throwing bottles or bricks.
He was simply documenting what the police were doing.
So they took him out.
Sounds familiar?
It's what happened to our friend Abi Yamini a few years ago, if you remember.
And then we'll talk to one of the rare politicians willing to stand with the people.
Now, he's a local councillor, but still, that's more than almost any other elected official in Ireland.
So today we'll have two members of the, I'm not going to say the establishment.
One's a citizen journalist like me and the other is an independent city councillor.
But they're people who I would call experts in what's going on.
Enjoy this fascinating and sometimes terrifying discussion of Ireland in 2024.
Standing with me is Philip Dwyer, a citizen journalist who was arrested last night in Kulak, spent a little bit of time in the clink before he was let out.
He's now under order not to re-attend the place in Kulak.
So we thought we would go somewhere a little bit fancier.
There's some beautiful parts in Ireland.
And I think your purpose for taking us here to the Malahide Marina was to make a point that they're not putting 500 person migrant camps in the luxury, high-income places of Ireland.
They're putting it in the low-income, low-political clout areas like Kulak.
Is that right?
That's right, Ezra.
And thank you for letting me use your platform here to get the message out of what's going on in Ireland.
And yeah, it absolutely is the point that this is a very affluent part of North County Dublin, right on the coastline here.
You have apartment blocks around it here, very high-end, expensive apartments.
The whole area has boutique shops.
It has excellent restaurants and a closed-dit community that would be very conscious of not allowing their community to be invaded by what's happening in places like Coolock and many other parts of Ireland and Dublin.
But it always tends to be the working class areas.
Live Stream Revelations00:06:10
And it's been, you know, it's really gone out of control now, Ezra.
And as people can see around the world, we think it's really important to get the message out around the world that Ireland is really being devastated now by this influx of mainly military-aged men at this stage.
No matter what the people seem to say or the community seem to say, the government just, they seem to laugh in your faces.
Now we saw yesterday with the public order units going in heavy-handed.
You had a couple of children, as I could see, 10 to 15.
I was live streaming it yesterday.
I had 17,000 people in my live stream.
All could see for themselves.
It was a couple of kids, maybe 10 to 15 kids throwing stones stupidly.
My channel, I never endorse any kind of criminal behavior.
But they seem to that the Guard of Riot Squad came in and they seemed to take it out on the peaceful protesters that were there.
So you're saying there was, let's say, a dozen teenagers.
So they were generally young, you're saying, the ones who were throwing rocks, but the guard used the pepper spray on the non-violent protesters, is that what you're saying?
Absolutely.
And it was like a random thing.
Even the guys I met in the prison cells yesterday while we were waiting to be heard by a judge.
A lot of them said they were just standing there peacefully and they were randomly assaulted and attacked by Gardy.
I saw serious wounds and one young lad, an 18-year-old young lad, had his shin open up, two wounds on his shin, which is a really nasty place to get a deep cut.
Other guys had head wounds and body marks from batons on their bodies.
And they were definitely randomly picked.
Now, I'm sure maybe one or two might have been doing something silly.
I'm not sure, but out of the 15, and a lot of these guys were kind of fathers and grown-ups.
You know, they weren't there to be, you know, damaging property or wrecking the place or doing anything illegal, you know?
I saw, I mean, when we landed in Dublin, we saw all the front pages, but there was one that was very gripping.
You had moms and dads and people of different ages standing peacefully, and then there was one guy wearing a balaclava throwing a brick.
And I got to tell you, someone who wears a balaclava throwing a brick, that is a little bit terrifying.
But the interesting thing about that photo is everyone else around him was showing their face.
No one was throwing a brick.
What would you say the numbers were?
You said it might be a dozen or more.
I think 15 people were arrested.
How many people were peacefully protesting who were not arrested?
Well, on my side of the property that's being used for this invasion, let's call it.
There was a group of people, I'd say maybe two to three hundred people who were just standing around peacefully, wanted to protest what was going on.
Then you had on the other side where that was sealed off.
You couldn't get from one side to the other.
Both sides of the road were sealed off by the police.
I didn't see how many were there, but I'm sure there was, I think there were hundreds there as well.
But it was definitely when I arrived, and you can see on my live stream, I'm on X. You can see it there that these were young children, you know, some of them 12, 13 years of age, that were throwing stones, stupidly throwing stones.
But it was like, I felt the tension.
I said it during my live stream.
I could feel the tension.
I've been there before.
I've seen in the Newmarket, Newtown Mount Kennedy.
I've seen it during the Dublin riots.
You could feel that something bad was going to happen.
And then all of a sudden, police fans came around and they came out kind of behind us.
So, in other words, we were kind of nearly trapped.
You didn't know where to go.
And when I got arrested, by and by the way, this individual, he's a police inspector.
He's the same guy that beat me very badly, officially assaulted me the night of the Dublin riots.
I was hospitalized with bad leg injuries.
The same inspector arrested me yesterday because I was filming.
Now, what were you charged with?
I was going to ask, obviously, you were not throwing a rock, am I right?
Oh, no.
And you were not masked?
No, I was trying to cover the news.
I mean, this is.
So tell me what, I mean, I didn't see your live stream yet.
I'm going to look it up, obviously, as soon as we're done here.
But like, how were you dressed?
What were you holding?
Did you engage with police?
Why would they arrest you?
Because what I do on my channel is I criticize government policy.
I expose.
Were you touching any cops?
Were you pushing any cops?
No, no.
I asked this, and it turns out it was the inspector.
He came out of a McDonald's where they were after been chasing out some young kids.
And I asked him, could he tell us what's going on?
And with that, he started to warn me about my name and address.
He wanted my name and address.
He said he wanted me to leave the area.
And on what basis?
On what basis did he say that?
Public order.
It's a public order charge, they're calling it.
So I have two charges.
He arrested me there.
I was trying to walk away.
He wouldn't even allow me to walk away.
So all you did was film.
He knew you from an earlier incident.
He told you to get out and then he arrested you.
Is that what happened?
That's it, yeah.
Were there others amongst the 15 people who were arrested who were in a similar boat as you?
Any one of them that I've met were actually badly beaten up.
Were you beaten?
No, I didn't.
I wasn't physically assistant.
Well, thank goodness for that.
No, thank you.
Yeah, thank God.
And you were telling me in the car over you have a lawyer.
What in the end were you charged with?
You were charged with obstruction or not, or is it some sort of anti-social act?
Failing to leave the air, public order, failing to leave the area after being instructed and refusing to give my name and address.
But they knew who you were anyway.
They knew exactly who I was.
Did he call you by name?
Yeah, and they had my name on the sheet when I went into the police station.
But this man definitely knows he is also apparently allegedly a diversity officer within his station, which is in inner-city Dublin, which we now have.
And in the Irish police force now, Ezra, we have something like 450 diversity officers in the country to check out people who say mean words online, who disagree with government policy, who disagree with transgender ideology.
Why Ireland Became So Woke00:12:08
This is what we have now in Ireland.
I mean, we're probably now one of the wokest countries in the world.
I find that so unusual.
I mean, I don't know a lot about Ireland.
This is only my second time here.
I know a little bit about Irish writers and Irish poets.
And, of course, we have a lot of Irish descendants in Canada, especially in Newfoundland.
And when I, I mean, I don't want to caricature a stereotype, but I would say that the Irish are politically incorrect.
They use the odd cuss word.
They're blunt, and there's sort of a fighting spirit.
I'd say rebellious.
Obviously, that's just not everyone meets up.
But when you tell me that Ireland has gone from, you know, a vigorous, boisterous place to a woke, obedient place, that's such a shock to me.
Yeah, I mean, you can go back maybe 25, 30 years back in Ireland here.
We suddenly became a wealthy country very quickly.
We came from a very poor country with high unemployment, a lot of emigration, which is one of the biggest curses this country has ever suffered over its history.
And suddenly we got this international investment.
We reduced corporation tax to 12.5%.
The financial centers were set up.
Google and the technology companies came in, Intel.
And suddenly there was an influx of money.
And it was really kind of fake money.
There was cheap interest rates in the European Union as well.
And we kind of borrowed.
We all thought we were millionaires.
But it actually changed us as, you know, we all became a bit soulless, let's call it.
We lost track of what is important in life, in my opinion.
And, you know, this thing of knowing your neighbors, everybody, communities knew each other, that kind of thing disintegrated over the years, the last 20, 25 years in Ireland.
And now, I'm not saying it's everywhere, but it is definitely a factor.
And now what we have now is that people are being influenced by the media, which has been completely overtaken in Ireland, overrun with this woke ideology.
Well, that's what's interesting to me.
I mean, I'm sure what happened yesterday was news no matter what.
But it was like an identical message track on every single newspaper front page.
And we just hopped in the cab and we weren't even listening to a news station.
We were listening to a music station.
And during the break, the DJ felt compelled to reiterate.
It was like it was an official message track.
But what was so interesting is we had this total uniform narrative.
But then we hop out of the car and we stand at Kulak where the protests and riot, if you want to call it that, were.
And massive numbers of people are honking their horns in support.
So you've got the official legacy media, the official establishment over here.
But if that honking was any guide, a ton of Irish do not support mass immigration.
Oh, absolutely.
And then the recent opinion polls there, I mean, you can check them out.
The Red Sea polls, like, we're incredible polls.
You're talking 80% of the people of Ireland aren't happy about the immigration policies in Ireland now.
And they're saying we've had too much of it.
It needs to be controlled.
But as I said, I mean, it's something that people seem to be afraid to speak out in this country because there's no opposition to what the government are trying to.
And why is that?
Like, I look around.
In the UK, you have Nigel Farage talking about this.
In France, you have Maureen Le Pen.
In Germany, you have alternative for Deutschlitzland.
In Italy, you have Giorgier Maloney.
Even in the United States, I mean, Donald Trump in Canada, Pierre Polyam slowly talking about it.
I look around the world.
People are starting to, the pendulum is swinging back.
But what about Ireland?
Yeah, unfortunately, politically, though, we're a bit well behind those countries you just mentioned there.
And we do have a couple of nationalist parties that are proper nationalist party that believe in the Irish, the country of Ireland, the nation of Ireland belongs to the Irish people, and no apologies.
And, I mean, that gets you called a racist and labeled as a racist.
But see, the thing is, and again, I don't know a lot about Ireland, but everyone in Canada's heard of Sinn Féin and, you know, the Irish nationalism, Irish Republicans.
So when I learned that Sinn Féin, the official nationalist party, was for mass immigration and was calling anyone against it a British intelligence asset.
And it took me a while to decode that.
Like, that's just such a, where I come from, that doesn't even make sense here in Ireland.
I guess that's the ultimate accusation of disloyalty.
It seems upside down to me that Sinn Féin is for open borders.
I thought they were the ones who said Ireland for the Irish.
Yeah, I mean, and that's what they tried, probably fool their members, their voters, their diaspora.
The people in Canada and America, probably a lot of them still believe that.
But unfortunately, Sinn Féin have done a complete U-turn on nationalism.
I find that so weird.
They are the most woke party nearly out there now.
I don't get it.
Fake, fake opposition.
They didn't get the vote they were hoping to get the last.
They have made grounds and gains with the electorate over the last couple of years.
But this time around in local elections, they didn't do as well.
People are getting to figure out that they have turned the corner and they're against nationalism now.
There's no way.
And I'm glad you brought up Sinn Fein, Ezra, because anybody out there, maybe in Canada or the U.S. who are donating to Sinn Féin, please stop.
If you're going to donate an Irish cause, donate to the Irish nationalist parties like Ireland First, the National Party, the Irish People Party.
These parties are genuine Irish parties that are concerned for the Irish people and their interests.
You know, I'm trying to wrap my head around it.
See, in Canada, we don't have a history of slavery.
In fact, we were the place where runaway slaves from America would come on something called the Underground Railroad.
But there were native Indigenous people, and some of them were put in residential schools.
The reason I'm telling you this is that the self-hating Canadians, they have something to point to.
They say, look, you put Indians or Indigenous people in residential schools, and you were mean to them.
And in the States, they have the legacy of slavery and Jim Crow laws.
And you go around the world, the Brits have colonialism.
So you have all these reasons to be guilty.
But Ireland, you are the Indigenous people.
You are the first nation in Ireland.
You didn't colonize anyone.
You didn't enslave anyone.
You did no wrong to anyone.
In fact, I think a lot of people would say the Irish were wronged against.
And so this is what I do not understand.
I can understand a self-hating American.
I can understand a self-hating Canadian, a self-hating Brit.
I disagree with all that, but I can understand it.
Why would an Irishman loathe his own country?
Why would an Irishman try and deracinate Ireland and change it from being Irish?
And I see this.
I'm trying to follow Irish news, and I see censorship rules and woke rules and fighting anti-white racism and white privilege.
I see all this stuff and I say, why are you importing this American idea or these, like, it just doesn't fit here.
I don't get why Ireland can't be Irish.
I mean, you could probably put it down to being a result of what happens to a population when mainstream media are given a free reign.
It's got to be more than just mainstream media.
Come on.
It is.
It's got to be the schools.
It's got to be the NGOs.
Don't get me started.
I mean, it's got its universities, it's colleges, it's politicians.
It's kind of every facet of society now is infected with this woke virus in Ireland.
And it didn't take long.
But I mean, the problem is we just don't have an opposition to it as yet.
We are working on.
We are making great strides in Ireland.
But the recent election has shown us that we haven't made the strides we quite thought we had made.
But we're still at it.
We're still out in here talking to people like you, hoping that you'll put this message around the world so people from outside of Ireland and the diaspora in Ireland can come and help us.
Ireland, as I said before in an interview, Ireland is on life support now.
We are nearly at a stage where we will be gone forever.
Our population will be gone forever.
And these self-loathing people, it just goes, the power and it looks like the power of being on the gravy train.
If you don't go along with the woke ideology, if you speak out against LGBT nonsense or if you speak out against immigration, you're in danger this country of losing your job and your livelihood.
And that's a terrifying prospect for a lot of people.
We're only here for a short period of time because we've got to get back to Canada.
There's a lot of stuff cooking there.
But tomorrow, we're hoping to go down to Tipperary County about two hours from here.
I heard there's a town so small it's a village.
It's actually really just based around this one country house, Dundrum, where there's 175 Irish in the village, 175.
And the government, without consultation, without permission, without consent, without warning, wants to put 280 foreign migrants in a village of 175, immediately rendering the Irish a minority, immediately and perhaps irrevocably altering the history of that town.
I find that such a staggering thing.
I can't understand that.
I mean, there's bad immigration rules in a lot of countries, but to destroy a village, I don't get it.
I just, I wish I could understand the rationale.
Yeah, and look, I've been outside these DPs, direct provision centers that they plant in these communities.
This is what they call them, direct provision.
I've been provision centers, yeah.
And they plant these hordes of men, mainly military-aged men.
And I've tried my best to go around and I've asked them plenty of interviews and questions about how they got here and everything else.
And I've yet to find anyone I could perceive to be genuine, a genuine refugee.
Now, plus that, a number of these places I've been to, and I've actually gone to the nearest piece of shrubbery or bush or whatever that has cover.
And you'd walk in there, and the first place they go to is these bushes to shoot up drugs and whatever, smoke, crack, cocaine, you name it, little drug dens.
And I've seen them.
You can check out my Twitter.
I've done it in the past.
Last summer, we found a place in City West and other places.
So they're not bringing in the best.
They're not bringing it.
I'm not saying all these migrants are criminals.
But, well, anybody who comes into a country illegally is a criminal in my view.
And the law says that itself.
It's not just me.
But yeah, they are definitely not bringing in engineers, doctors, or whatever, you know.
Well, it's just astonishing.
I think it's outrageous that you were arrested in the car right over.
You tell me you have a lawyer that you think can help you out, and I'm glad to hear it.
I don't know.
This is a very strange place.
I wish I had come to Ireland 20 years ago.
I wish I had experienced that Ireland because the Ireland I see now is so hard to understand.
By the way, it's beautiful.
Like, it just looks beautiful.
Like, this is unbelievably beautiful.
And I can see why so much literature and poetry emanated and songs.
I mean, whether it's U2 or the Cranberries, there's so much music that comes from this place.
So much of it is so soulful.
I was a super fan of Sinead O'Connor growing up.
That Ireland, there's still some of it left, don't get me wrong.
But my God, they're trying to drive it out.
Garda's Sprayed Response00:12:24
Yeah, I mean, you just have to go into the city centre now.
You're going to be staying there.
I wouldn't go out late at night, walk down the streets, the main street, O'Connell Street, iconic street with the GPO where the 1916 rising happened.
And you'll be doing well to find an Irish person.
You're talking about up to 80% of the population in that area is non-Irish, you know, African, Middle Eastern, Albanian, drug gangs, you know, Roma, gypsies, you name it.
Like there's all these different mishmash of people and anti-social behavior to beat the band.
And it's nearly getting to a point where we're going to be having these no-go zones.
You know, police, Irish police won't go into these areas, you know, and they won't report on migrant crime the same way as they report on Irish crime.
When I came out of the courts yesterday, there was three mainstream media companies outside only delighted to film you coming out of court to try and portray something.
I asked them, not how they want to interview me.
The three companies, not one of them would interview me.
They want to film you coming out and they want to put a narrative on why you're in that court and destroy Irish people.
And then the Irish people, as we mentioned earlier, in Dundrum, if you disagree with what they're doing to your area, they will come over here and they will smash you in the head and they will take you out and take you down.
This government that we're living with now here in Ireland.
Philip Twyer, thanks for talking with us.
Absolutely terrifying.
We'll keep an eye on your social media feed and hopefully you will be exonerated from these charges.
It sounded like they just wanted to sweep you off the streets because you were shining a light of scrutiny.
If you had as many viewers as you mentioned, I think that's why you were arrested.
So stay safe, keep up the fight, and we'll keep an eye on what you're up to.
Thanks, Amelia, Angel.
Thanks for speaking to me.
pleasure.
Well, a theme I've heard from probably 10 people here today is powerlessness.
No one listens to them.
At least no one in the establishment, whether it's establishment media or establishment political parties, let alone establishment police.
So it's almost unique to see an actual elected official here.
And hopefully his presence will deter any police action.
Although so far the police have kept themselves hundreds of yards away.
I'm talking with Councillor Glenn Moore.
What a pleasure to meet you.
Thanks very much.
Glad to be here.
And I'll be here for a good while until I go.
But yeah, it's just, well, look, it's much more calm than what it is yesterday.
You said they're, you know, to deter the police.
No, we got sprayed.
It was four councillors yesterday and we were targeted as well.
So even though we tried to de-escalate the situation because there was a good few elderly people.
So the idea is we wanted to de-escalate is because the riot police was charging and many people couldn't actually get away from them fast enough, especially elderly people.
And, you know, we already have a video of a 79-year-old lady that got pepper sprayed and she was on crutches.
So that was one of the reasons, yeah, we wanted to de-escalate to stop them from advancing each time because you had people just confused, didn't know where to go, didn't know where to stand.
People were getting hoarded.
And it was just mad.
And to say, like, you know, you know, of course, there was young lads lacking the magazine and stuff and all that.
Of course that happened.
but both sides were engaging on each other.
Both the Garda broke ranks, ran into the crowd, grabbed people, antagonized people.
Both sides.
It just blew up and there was no chance for a peaceful protest.
So it was disappointing on both sides.
But I still stand by what I was saying online is that, you know, people here, we have the right to free assembly and to protest, and that should be respected on both sides.
It should be respected on both sides, both the law enforcement and the people here.
No, I mean, it's interesting because we have people of every age here.
There are some seniors who need a little bit of help, don't have a lot of mobility.
You do have, I'm going to say, 20 young lads who I think are looking for a little adrenaline, looking for a little action.
And if they did throw things, which apparently they did, that's not a good thing.
But to have a mass, indiscriminate pepper spray that hit you.
So you yourself were pepper sprayed.
Yeah, yeah.
So I take it you were not throwing rocks.
You're an elected city councillor.
Oh, no, I wouldn't.
I mean, no one has a video on me committing any crime.
All I did was I was blocked off on multiple locations.
So I had to walk past a line of Garda and I seen someone in front of me get pepper sprayed for no reason whatsoever.
And all I said was, you know, what you did was wrong.
And I was told to fuck off.
Sorry, I didn't die of course.
I was told to fuck off and get lost.
And I got sprayed as well by walking past.
In Canada, police have the power to use pepper spray or even firearms.
But of course, they have to do so within certain rules, within the law.
They can't be wild.
They can't be indiscriminate.
In Canada, if you were pepper sprayed for having done nothing, the police might be in trouble for assault themselves.
Have you or any of the other people who were pepper sprayed considered your legal rights?
Or is this something you're going to write a letter to the Garda about?
Or are you just going to let it be?
Well, you see, you could do that.
It's the right course of action.
But the Garda that are in riot gear and are covered up, they have no numbers and no one would keep track exactly where they are.
So you'd be looking for a needle in a haystack.
So there's no way you can get these.
And that's one of the reasons why probably a lot of them, like there was one video of a Garda dropping his riot shield and going straight towards a guy to get him down.
He didn't resist.
And then another Garda took out the baton and was beating the crap out of him.
So they can take advantage of liberties like that all they want because the number is hidden and their faces are hidden.
So like I said, it's not good sights at all.
To me, it feels like dark times that your people are killing each other over something that we feel we should have control of.
We don't want this country to be flooded with thousands, hundreds of thousands of undocumented males.
Like you keep saying women and children.
It's not.
We have the videos.
Everybody has videos, thousands upon thousands of videos.
It's lies upon lies upon lies and people are waking up going like this.
There's something wrong.
It's a sinister feeling the Irish people have.
And that's what's causing people to show up.
It's that thing at the back of their mind saying something is wrong.
We're not being told what's happening.
Why are they being planted here?
Why do we have to pay for them?
Why are we bringing the world here?
This is a massive strain on our economy.
The worst thing I feel, like, you know, a lot of people talk about dentist appointments and hospitals are overflowing.
Yeah.
The worst thing I see is actually the prisons are overflown.
Our prisons are at 87.5 to 90% and they're letting criminals out because of overcrowding.
So criminals are going to prison and they're being let out.
They're not being punished.
That's an incentive for them to say, oh, I can actually commit this crime again.
I can go back in and be out in a week's time.
It's madness.
And it feels like this is the fall of a republic.
It feels like this is the fall of our culture and our civilization.
And people can people can feel it.
People can see it.
I see it.
I'm in politics now.
I'm an engineer.
I didn't want to do politics.
I don't like politics.
I don't want to be a politician.
But I'm doing this because I see bad things happening in the future if no one takes a stand against this.
Our culture has been eroded.
What are we supposed to do?
To be honest, I don't even have any answers.
No one has answers.
We don't know how to tackle it.
Truly, we don't.
Now, you said some very spicy things.
You've criticized the police, which, you know, for an elected official, that's actually a fairly dramatic thing to do.
I guess, fair play, they pepper sprayed you.
Have you faced any pressure, any cancel culture, any retaliation against you for standing with these people?
Because so far, you're the first official person I've seen be here.
Well, you get the people online, you know, saying you can't be doing this, can't be done.
That I have followed the constitution law very clearly, and I remain in those boundaries.
I don't break it, and I know my rights.
So if anyone wants to come after me, they're not going to win because I can literally just quote the constitution every time.
Like a lot of people were saying, like, you have no right of being here, but you're counseling in another area.
I was like, I have a right to free assembly and the right to protest anywhere I want in this country.
Even though it isn't my area, I'm here to support people.
So now, why do you think the local councillors are not supportive?
I mean, if I was a politician, politicians care about money and they care about votes.
And I know that Kulak isn't a very wealthy neighborhood, but there seems to be hundreds of people who are very worried.
Wouldn't it make pragmatic sense for a politician to say, I can oppose this migrant center and have hundreds of passionate supporters?
Like, where are the local councillors from this district?
Well, from the South Dutton County Council, a lot of them are in support of what has happened here, but they won't say it.
They're too afraid.
It's the woke movement.
They're afraid of saying something and the cancel culture.
They're afraid of saying something to be accused of being a racist or whatever is.
There's nothing to do with racism.
You could have blonde hair, blue eyes, and millions of them could be going into that center.
It doesn't matter.
Ireland is full.
It doesn't matter where you come from.
We can't deal with this anymore.
I mean, I look around, and if I was running here, I would think, well, I could get hundreds of volunteers.
I would win.
Who are those other politicians afraid of?
I mean, I've seen polls that suggest that many Irish do not like this level of immigration.
I just don't see that reflected in the government.
Do you think that can change it?
Tell me about some of the nationalist parties.
You yourself are involved in one of the nationalist parties.
Am I right?
So I'm the Irish Freedom Party, and our main objective is to leave the European Union.
We believe it's gotten completely out of control, especially with the migration.
You just have to look up videos in France and Germany.
Crimes has gone sky high, and it's never the native Europeans that are committing it.
It's people that are coming from North Africa and the Middle East.
It's not a nice thing to say, but it's true.
It's the truth.
You're bringing people in that are from a country that are countries that are falling apart and riddled with crime.
I have no problem with my migration.
I have no problem with doctors and engineers coming here, but that's not what's coming here.
It's people that are people that are like I catch a lot of people out by saying, you know, if someone doesn't side with me, I say, do you go on holidays?
And they say, yeah, I go on holidays.
Where would you go on holidays?
Do you go to Spain or France or Italy?
And they say, yeah, I would.
I was like, would you go to Algeria or Nigeria?
And especially for a woman, they'd say, no.
I said, why not?
I was like, is it unsafe for you?
I was like, yeah, it's very unsafe.
I was like, well, what makes that country unsafe?
You know, they think for a second.
I was like, it's the people that are there that make it unsafe.
Those same people are getting into this country now and making us unsafe.
That's the bottom line.
And it's the truth.
I stepped off the plane this morning.
I went to a newspaper stand.
Every single newspaper had the same front page.
Slightly different words.
Deplorable was one of them.
Now, in North America, Hillary Clinton called working class people deplorables.
It was a kind of insult.
Every single media outlet was like they were reading from the same script.
Are there any alternative sources of news or information?
Because if Facebook and Instagram are censored, if the mainstream media is a monolith, if the radio is a monolith, an RTE, how is an Irish person supposed to get the other side of the story?
We just have to beat the elections and stop the taxpayers from paying for our corrupt media.
Don't even try to install a favorable media on your side when you take power.
Just don't defund it.
A propaganda tool is not good for any society, especially a free one.
There it is, Councillor Glenn Moore talking to us in a group of people that few politicians would dare to stand with.
Oh My Gosh, Don't Miss Tomorrow!00:00:39
Thanks very much for your time.
Nice to meet you.
Well, that's our show for today.
We have so much more tomorrow.
Oh my gosh, you're not going to want to miss tomorrow's astonishing story about a town of 200 people that is having 280 migrants shipped there, more than the population of the town.
It's incredible, I promise you.
And that's why I'm hoping you get the video portion of this show.
Some people listen in audio only.
We'll have the video version.
You're not going to want to miss this.
Until next time, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel News, see you at home.
