Ezra Levant exposes alleged patterns of over 100 church attacks in Quebec while analyzing a Washington meeting between Israel and Lebanon where France was conspicuously absent despite Israeli Ambassador Yechiel Leiter's desire to exclude them. Levant critiques Canada's demographic-driven foreign policy, contrasts European plans for Hormuz shipping with China's discounted Iranian oil purchases, and reports on Dublin protests against carbon pricing and mass immigration. Ultimately, the episode argues that global power shifts are driven by strategic exclusion and demographic changes rather than traditional diplomatic alliances. [Automatically generated summary]

Burning Churches in Saint Romain00:01:43
Hello, my friends.
A very interesting meeting in Washington, D.C. today between Lebanon and Israel.
And you'll never guess who was not invited.
I think that's actually the biggest part of the story.
I'd like you to watch today's show, not just here, and I want you to see some of the videotape we're going to present, including from Lebanon.
To see this, you need to get what we call Rebel News Plus.
It's the video version of this podcast.
Just go to rebelnewsplus.com, click subscribe.
Eight bucks a month, which might not sound like a lot to you, but it adds up for us.
It's how we pay the bills around here because we take no government money, and it shows.
One more thing.
Being a rebel today is simply being normal.
So why not support normal news and look cool while doing it by buying yourself some rebel merch and more at rebelnewsstore.com?
And you can save by using coupon code DREA10 when you do.
From the Middle East that affects Canada.
It's April 15th, and this is the Ezra Levant Show.
Shame on you, you censorious thug.
Oh, hi, everybody.
I'm so glad to be back in our world headquarters after my visit to Saint Romain, Quebec yesterday.
Very interesting trip.
I'm really glad I did it.
I was there to document the burning of a church.
Documenting the Church Fire Crisis00:02:35
And that just sounds terrible, but I feel like someone's got to do it because I think it's such a massive scale.
So many, more than 100 churches have been hit.
And I grant you that not all of them have been burnt to the ground.
And some of them are no longer active as churches.
But I don't think it matters.
I mean, you might remember about a month ago, I went to New Brunswick and there was an old derelict church that hadn't been used in years and it was sort of deconsecrated and it looked abandoned.
And so, yeah, maybe it was just an old building that sometimes kids or arsonists might, you know, fire bugs might target.
But don't tell me that 100 churches being targeted isn't a pattern.
I just, I won't believe you.
So, I think it's important to document it because I really believe other people are trying to minimize it, to ignore it.
Very, very little coverage of this.
I think the authorities don't want to acknowledge that there's something going on and they don't even want to look into it.
Like maybe it's a lot of coincidences, but we don't know because we haven't properly investigated.
We'll keep at it, by the way.
Now, I should say that tomorrow I'm going to be in Ottawa because our friend and colleague Sheila Gunn Reid has been invited to testify before Parliament.
Can you imagine?
As you may know, Sheila is the president of something called the Independent Press Gallery, which is a few years old and has almost 100 members.
This is an antidote or a counterweight to the Parliamentary Press Gallery, which is the government run press gallery based in Ottawa's Parliament under the control of the Speaker of the House.
And so it's a very partisan affair.
Everyone in there is on the take.
They all get the government subsidy.
So this is a kind of voluntary industry association for independent journalists, as the name suggests.
So Sheila will be testifying on Parliament Hill.
I actually haven't seen her remarks yet, so I'll be there in person to hear them along with Parliament in real time.
And then we'll talk to Sheila about the day.
I'm really excited about it and we'll show you how it goes.
So we're on a roll.
I mean, we've had a lot of great interviews lately.
And I think this goes, the reason we were invited to Parliament, I think, shows.
That we've received sort of a.
I mean, we're 11 years old now.
We've been doing this for a while.
And I think people know that we are real journalists.
And the reason I say that is because in Quebec, there was this insane reaction to Alexa Lavoie interviewing the leader of the Parti Quebecois for an hour.
The reaction wasn't to anything she said or did, it was the fact that the Parti Quebecois would dare to sit down for an interview with Rebel News.
Lebanon, Israel, and Hezbollah Deals00:15:16
So I thought that was sort of cool.
Anyways, that's sort of some housekeeping stuff.
But I want to talk to you about an interesting meeting in Washington, D.C. Interesting because of who was this.
And maybe even more interesting for who was not there.
Here's the people standing together.
Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State, is there.
And it's representatives from Israel and Lebanon having face to face direct meetings about peace and the future of the region, which is a very interesting thing to be happening because Israel right now is attacking Hezbollah terrorists in the southern part of Lebanon.
Really intensively.
You may know that Hezbollah is a terrorist group that is run, funded, directed, and armed by Iran.
So, Iran sort of had direct ways of fighting.
They would shoot missiles or drones, but they had these surrogates, including the Hamas terrorist group in Gaza, the Hezbollah terrorist group in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen.
So, they had all these proxies.
I mean, really, Lebanon has been occupied by Iran.
Syria was another finger on the hand of Iran.
Iran used to really control the region.
They spent 47 years really doing nothing but plotting, you're going to laugh when I say it, world domination.
They really believe in bringing about Allah's reign on earth.
They want to topple, they're not governed by the same earthly rationales as most countries.
They have an apocalyptic religious destiny, and that's governed what they did.
And really, they wanted to attack everything Western and secular.
So they had these proxies around the world.
Anyways, what's so interesting is that Israel and Lebanon were having their first meetings.
I think this was the first head to head meeting since the 1990s.
I think I read 1993.
And what's interesting to me in particular is that France is not involved.
And you might say, well, why would France be involved?
Well, remember that France actually used to be an empire.
In fact, there are Caribbean islands like Martinique and there's Saint Pierre and Miquelon just off the coast of Canada.
France used to be an empire, not a huge one, but they had French Africa, they had French, you know, Guiana.
And Lebanon and Syria were French at one time.
In fact, other than Arabic, I think French is the second language of Lebanon.
They used to say Beirut was the Paris of the Middle East.
It truly looked beautiful and it was on the Mediterranean.
So France is not involved at all.
Even though France loves to talk about foreign policy in Lebanon, they were not invited.
And it's sort of incredible that they're meeting.
Look at these.
These are Israeli and Lebanese.
Front pages of the newspaper yesterday with headlines like history in Washington, giving negotiations a chance, Israel and Lebanon on the same side.
And then you can see the one that was translated there, taboo broken.
That's from an Arabic newspaper in Lebanon that the taboo of meeting face to face with Israel is now over.
And the joint statement, we want lasting peace.
So it really sounds promising.
And, you know, the U.S. was putting a lot of their reputation behind it.
It was being You could really tell that the Americans are knocking heads together to get this piece done.
And let me just play for you a quote from the Israeli ambassador to the U.S., who was really one of the point people here.
His name is Yechiel Leiter, is his name.
Here he is talking about the absence of the French and whether or not that was a good or a bad thing.
Just take a listen.
This guy, I think this guy was channeling Trump or something.
Take a listen.
Mike Wagon on my 24 news English.
Is there something specific your Lebanese counterpart said today to give you optimism that the LAF will really? begin to take hold in southern Lebanon and disarm Hezbollah and also conspicuous by their absence today with the French.
Did Israel make a concerted active effort to keep the French away from these negotiations?
Well, I hope he won't have to make a concerted effort, but we certainly don't want the French anywhere near these negotiations.
We'd like to keep the French as far away as possible from pretty much everything, but particularly when it comes to peace negotiations.
They're not needed.
They're not a positive influence, particularly not in Lebanon.
Well, that must have really stung France.
And here's their foreign minister.
Now, I'll play it in low volume because it's en français.
But let me translate.
I put this through a machine translator, and he said, I am pleased to know that the Israeli government has entrusted a man who apparently is very diplomatic.
Very refined and very subtle.
Obviously, he's being ironic with the task of conducting this negotiation.
He's apparently determined to reduce to a minimum the number of partner countries that Lebanon will need to rebuild itself.
I suggest that he stays far away as possible from the microphones and television cameras.
So he's basically saying, shut your mouth if you want France to help rebuild Lebanon after a peace deal, which is sort of a weird thing to threaten to punish Lebanon because you didn't like an Israeli diplomat being undiplomatic.
But Obviously, France was stung by the fact they weren't there.
Now, they should bring that up with the United States, who was hosting it.
But, you know, it may be true that if there is a peace deal, France would help rebuild Lebanon.
It wouldn't surprise me.
France loves spending money on foreign aid as much as the UK and Canada do.
It might be true that they would help Lebanon, but Lebanon has not had a moment's peace in 50 years that they could rebuild on.
I mean, the wars wax and wane, but.
Lebanon has been occupied.
It has been colonized by Muslim terrorists for about 50 years.
First, it was the PLO and Yasser Arafat.
They were kicked out of Jordan when they fomented a civil war there, and many of them went to Lebanon.
And then Hezbollah, which formally swore allegiance to Iran in the 1980s.
So, in the 70s, in came the PLO.
In the 80s, came Hezbollah, and they were not interested in being a normal place.
Lebanon hasn't been a normal place.
Country since there has been no meaningful enduring peace because there are all these terrorist groups there, and every once in a while the terrorist groups would attack Israel and it would push back.
In fact, Israel actually invaded Lebanon to try and stomp them out.
Lebanon is occupied.
Whenever you hear occupation in the Middle East, people say, Oh, Israel occupying the West Bank.
Islamists have occupied parts of Lebanon for 50 years, and you know, I hope France will help rebuild Lebanon when it's all over, but that promise.
Is conditional on there being peace.
There hasn't been peace in 50 years because France and others haven't been willing to make the peace by extirpating the terrorists.
You would have to end the Hezbollah occupation of Lebanon before you could rebuild.
Now, I think for a lot of people, like the leadership of France and many pro Palestinian or anti Israeli Westerners, they don't quite understand that Lebanon is a country that is colonized by Hezbollah, and Lebanon doesn't want that.
Here is Lebanon's prime minister calling for a normalization of relations with Israel.
And I should say, this is last year after Israel was pummeling Hezbollah for a couple of years straight.
Here's Lebanon's PM saying he wants a normalization with Israel.
So I guess my question is, you wouldn't be normalizing relations without at least a credible pathway to, if not, a Palestinian state and a two-state solution, correct?
I don't like this idea of pathway.
I would like to see a two-state solution, Israeli withdrawing from occupied territories in exchange for peace, and peace, I mean, will lead to normalization.
Parcel of the peace we would like to see tomorrow and not the day after.
Here's Lebanon's justice minister saying he wants normalized relations too.
They want to be normal again.
Lebanon wants to be a free democracy again.
Take a look.
I think it's the name of the government.
The government is to be able to take the law.
But my personal opinion is that we are more than if we are going to do a war.
Or if we are not going to do a war.
And if we are going to do a war, then we are not going to do it.
By the way, there are the United States and the United States.
And the other countries.
But if you are going to take a war, you don't want to fight with your friends.
Remember, all of the Middle East was once Christian.
It wasn't Muslim.
I mean, Christianity predates Islam by centuries.
Lebanon was Christian.
Egypt was Christian.
Syria was Christian.
Turkey was Christian.
Istanbul used to be called Constantinople.
It was the largest, richest, most Christian city in the world.
It was the occupation and colonization by Islam that turned them into Muslim countries.
I checked the statistics, by the way.
Lebanon, 50 years ago, was about.
55% Christian.
Now it's just 30% Christian.
It is being conquered and colonized as part of the larger mission of radical Islam.
Israel is not actually at war with Lebanon.
It's at war with the occupiers of southern Lebanon that France hasn't done anything to stop.
Why would you invite France in there?
It's like Norman Schwarzkopf's old joke going to war without France is like going hunting without your accordion.
France has deployed its aircraft carrier, which is more than the UK could do, and managed to set sail.
But I can't tell you what they've actually achieved other than make some pretty cool political ads for Emmanuel Macron.
Like, you've got this aircraft carrier.
France actually has a respectable navy, respectable military.
They're a nuclear power.
They have some modern jets, but why haven't they used those to get rid of the terrorists?
Why do they just flex their muscles but not actually lift anything?
I don't quite know.
Why have they never tried to end Iran in Iran?
Lebanon, why wouldn't they help their fellow French Christians?
I don't know.
But France, I mean, I got to tell you that Israeli ambassador was correct.
Let me read for you the Wall Street Journal, a major story which I just thought was incredible.
If this was April Fool's Day, I would say, oh, it's got to be a joke.
Look at this tweet from the Wall Street Journal, which is a very reputable newspaper.
Exclusive.
European countries are planning a post war mission to free up shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, excluding the U.S. What?
Let me read a little bit of the story for you.
It's sort of incredible.
The headline is Europe drafts post war plan to free up Hormuz without US.
UK and French plan aims to give shipping companies confidence to use the strait after the fighting ends.
Without America?
So you just got all these big plans.
You're not invited to America's negotiations with Lebanon.
You were invited to help fight Iran.
You declined, but you've got plans to take over when.
The war is over.
Here, let me read the story.
European countries are putting together a plan for a broad coalition of countries to help free up shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, including sending mine clearing and other military vessels.
But the plan would only come after the war and may exclude one country in particular, the U.S. French President Emmanuel Macron said Tuesday the plan is for an international defense mission that doesn't include the belligerent parties, meaning the U.S., Israel, and Iran.
European diplomats familiar with the plan say European ships wouldn't be under American command.
This is too much.
This is too much, but this is real.
I'll read some more.
The mission we are referring to could only be deployed once calm has been restored and hostilities have ceased, French Foreign Minister Jean Noël Barrault said on Tuesday, adding that the international coalition would coordinate with countries bordering the strait, including Iran and Oman.
That suggests no mission would go ahead without Iranian approval.
That is just so amazing.
It's so.
Delicious.
They think they're going to be in control of the Strait of Hormuz after America is done the fighting part.
And they're having a little conference to talk about it, and they've all agreed amongst themselves.
What do you think Donald Trump would say about that?
Hey, we're going to totally get tough as soon as the war is over, everybody.
Do you see who that Israeli ambassador meant?
Hey, but let me just tell you this Canada is even dumber.
We are very concerned about the killing of a Canadian citizen in southern Lebanon.
And indeed, I express my sincere condolences to his family, his friends, and his community.
I am continuously in touch with the government of Lebanon.
I spoke with the foreign minister of Lebanon yesterday, in fact, to express Canada's solidarity with Lebanon, including their territorial integrity.
I understand that the peace talks between Lebanon and Israel began yesterday in Washington, D.C., where their representatives were.
Directly discussing the potential for a ceasefire.
We very much hope that there will be a ceasefire.
And in the meantime, we'll continue to examine Canada's approach to this situation.
Yeah, just first of all, who are you even?
I mean, we know we're not actually helping stop Hezbollah or Iran.
I don't know.
They're probably amongst those 40 impotent countries that are having a meeting with America.
I don't even know.
It's not even worth looking to find out because really, who cares?
You'll notice that there's no recognition that Hezbollah.
Is the occupying force that Israel's trying to stomp out because Lebanon can't do it.
You know, there's no acknowledgement that Hezbollah's firing rockets from Lebanon into Israel.
Just none of that.
By the way, Egypt and Israel have had a peace treaty for decades.
They don't shoot at each other.
Jordan and Israel have had a peace treaty for decades.
They don't shoot at each other.
Israel is not about shooting at its neighbors in a random way, it's about shooting back when terrorist base camps shoot at Israel.
China's Role in Canadian Policy00:04:08
This is about stopping that.
Here's what I think is going to happen.
I think there's going to be a peace deal.
I think that they wouldn't.
I don't think Secretary of State Marco Rubio would have had a public display like that if he wasn't pretty sure that a deal was going to be made.
I don't think he would have raised expectations if he didn't realize things were going in the right direction.
I think Lebanon and Israel are going to make a deal.
I think that Lebanon will be rebuilt.
And frankly, it wouldn't surprise me if the money didn't come from France, but came from the United Arab Emirates and maybe the Saudis, who have a lot of dough.
America calls the shots, not the United Nations, not the NATO countries that demand American help in Ukraine but won't help Trump when he asks for it.
Israel, I think, will have peace again with Lebanon, like it does with Egypt and Jordan.
I think the Abraham Accords peace treaty will grow.
I think you might see the Strait of Hormuz renamed the Strait of Trump.
And I know that sounds funny, but why wouldn't he rename it?
Look, I don't quite understand the China stuff that's going on.
Of course, the number one Buyer of Iranian conflict oil is China.
And what they love about it is because it's subject to Western sanctions, it is so much cheaper than the world price of oil.
I haven't checked the price of oil lately, but I'm guessing it's around 80 or 90 bucks.
It was around 100 recently.
I'm guessing China's buying its conflict oil from Iran for 25 bucks a barrel just because it's illegal to sell on the world market.
So I think anything that denies China access to oil, like Venezuela being toppled, or raises the price of it, that's a benefit for America and a detriment to China.
I don't Exactly, I know what's going on there, but I like what I see.
And the benefit to Canada out of all this?
Well, I don't know.
There's around 300,000 Lebanese Canadians, many of whom like to go back and forth, love the old Beirut.
Maybe they can even help rebuild a democracy again over there.
Maybe Lebanon can be a Christian country again, and some of the terrorists can go home.
One thing's for sure the Canadian government is on the wrong side.
Just like France.
And for the exact same reason, you know, there were three by elections this week in Canada.
One of them was in a very high migrant riding.
Here's Melanie Jolie, who won't stop talking about demographics.
Remember when she told Thomas Mulcair that her foreign policy against Israel was based on the demographics of her riding?
Well, here she is talking about the by election win in Quebec.
The Supreme Court took its decision.
Of course, we respected the justices' decision, and so that's why there was a new.
Election called, and so we got involved very much.
And I think also, Terrebonne is a writing for those who don't necessarily know the geography of Montreal, it's a bit out at the outskirts, on the outskirts of Montreal.
It is very much more changing as Montreal and Quebec is changing.
And so, the second generation of first immigrants coming to Quebec, a very important.
Community from Haiti, also from Northern Africa.
And so things are changing across the country, particularly also here.
And so I think that could be actually very favorable in general for a candidate that is from the Asian community.
So there it is lots of North Africans, lots of foreigners, and they have to follow what they say, not Canadian interests or principles.
That is why Canada endorsed Palestine.
That is why Canada is condemning Israel.
That's why.
And that's why we have no room in a world that is being created by Donald Trump, Israel, and the actual peacemaking Arab countries.
Stay with us.
More ahead.
Irish Rebellion and Unity Lessons00:05:41
Hi, everybody.
As you know, I went to Ireland for a day and a half last week because, boy, did they ever have a rebellion?
It seems to be simmering down now, but we sent our friends Efron Monsanto and Alexa Lavoie to keep covering it.
I had to come back to Canada and do stuff here, of course, but I'm glad we were over there.
This is Alexa's first trip to Ireland, and I wanted to hear how things were going.
Now, we had a bit of a rough phone internet connection, so we're sort of doing this interview in parts.
I sent her these questions, and she sent the reply, but I'll read them to you as if it were live.
My first question to Alexa was, This is your first trip to Ireland.
How would you compare its political culture to Canada's?
And how would you compare their street protest to the Canadian trucker convoy?
Hi, Zora, thanks for having me on your show.
Yes, it was my first time here in Ireland, and it is just so beautiful.
This country is amazing, but everything is so expensive.
You know, what I was able to see is like how Irish people are so unified.
They stand with each other and what beautiful people who live here.
So open, so nice.
And something actually comes to me is to see how unified Irish are.
They stand with each other.
They are unapologetic.
They are, you know, they stand with what they say.
They don't say story of what they say.
And they are open about Their thoughts, their opinions, they don't censor themselves.
And you saw, they took the street because they say enough is enough.
They are working class citizens, okay?
They are not rich people.
They don't feel represented by the government in place.
Actually, they don't feel represented at all.
There should be absolutely no confidence in this government at all.
They're a disgrace.
We are going to stand up.
We spent 800 years fighting the English.
We're not finished fighting yet.
So hopefully we get what we want today.
They all say that there is no party that represents them.
So who is speaking for them?
And it's a little bit what we saw in Canada during the COVID-19 when people took to the street to protest for their basic freedom.
Who were speaking for them?
Nobody.
Nobody.
And at one point, enough is enough.
They decided to stand together and to voice their disagreement and to put pressure on the government so the government has no choice to listen to them.
And you saw what happened to Canada.
First, they refused to meet with them.
Second, they started painting them as dangerous far-right thugs.
And then they cracked down with the police and the military.
This is exactly what we saw with the trucker convoy.
The rhetoric, how they tried to paint them.
And then they say that the mainstream media received tons of money from the taxpayer.
The government dared to say that they were lopsided on the side of the protesters.
With those protesters, and they say that this is I don't want to say it live, but be shit.
Thank you for watching Rebel news from Canada.
Thank you very much because it's them tyrants inside there that are destroying the Irish people of this country and running Irish people into the ground.
As you can see here, we have our flags here, but because of our polls, the Gardie will not let us in because of our polls hanging our flag up high.
It's only fiberglass.
You know what I mean?
But thank you all for reporting on it.
Because these people need to say what they're doing inside there is nothing but tyranny and destruction to the Irish people.
And that's the only way that it is, and it's the only way that's going to be seen by.
And you might think there's a small crowd there now today, but.
Well, no, there's many in the audience.
Don't you wait.
You know, they say that the mainstream media, at the beginning, they were smearing them.
And then they started to be a little bit more neutral.
And then the minister said that they are going to investigate them and then they say they retracted what they said.
But it was pretty interesting to see their side of you and they are all aware about the Freedom Convoy, the one I talked to.
And it was really interesting to have that true thought because sometimes in Canada this is something, it's hard to get the real opinion on camera.
But them, they are not scared at all.
Every time anybody opens their mouth in this country, if you're not with the narrative of the government, they call you far right.
That's what they label us, far right.
We're not far right.
No matter what.
We might be right, but we're not far right.
Irish people have emigrated to every corner of the earth.
We have no problem with that.
Any person who wants to come over here legally and wants to work and live amongst us with Irish people, we share our hands out.
And we would love them to join in in our protest as well, so that they can also join in, because it's not just us.
People are living here legally.
Immigration and National Identity00:12:31
They're also getting the cost of fuel and also getting the cost of housing and living, rent, everything.
It's affecting everyone.
Irish people and Irish citizens.
So, any person that wants to come and join should well join.
And any people that want to believe in what they do, just get out and leave.
Yeah, yeah.
It looks like things have calmed down with the government having made some concessions on carbon taxes and fuel prices.
Is it over?
Was it a success?
So, the government men have laid down a package deal.
It's a package deal worth about.
Half of billions of dollars.
First of all, none of the protesters are happy.
This is not a good deal.
And they all say that this is ridiculous.
So it's far from over.
They all say that more protests is ahead.
They are going to continue because they say that this is not enough.
They say that 500 millions of euros to compare what the government literally gave to RTE.
That is the government broadcast media.
We talk about more than 700 million of euro over three years.
Government is now extending the temporary measures to reduce excise duty on petrol, diesel, and marked gas oil from the end of May to the end of July.
Further reducing mineral oil taxes, the government is by 10 cents per litre on petrol, 10 cents per litre on diesel, and 2.4 cents per litre on marked gas oil.
Postponing the increase in carbon tax.
From May until the budget in October.
750 million was announced.
The government last year spent 725 million to save RTE.
They think less of you, me, our mothers, fathers, brothers, and sisters than they do of saving a TV and radio station.
There's 10 cents gone off diesel and petrol.
There's 9 cents went on the pumps last night.
We are running to stand still.
We can't do it forever.
So people feel insulted.
People feel like the government is literally not listening.
And I'm telling you, we will see way more protests.
We will see people trying to get what they want.
And I'm a bit scared to see more police enforcement as we saw.
In recent days, is there a lesson Canadians can learn from this?
I think since the trucker convoy, we saw that Canadians are more and more divided.
We saw that Canadians are less unified, they are censoring themselves.
Why can't Canadians learn from the Irish people to stand with each other?
Same if you disagree on some opinion, why don't you stand with each other when you can see?
That some part of your population cannot afford to feed their family, to buy a home, to continue their business, to put fuel for their tractors.
Why are you not standing with each other?
Why are you continuing to censor yourself because you're too scared of what people would think about you?
Irish doesn't care.
Irish don't say sorry.
I think Canadians should learn from them.
Probably can't put this on your show, but the government should all be shot for being traitors.
No, but like, actually, do you think it was justified what they did, like blocking refineries?
100%.
100%.
Mihal Martin, or Mihole Martin, as we all like to call him down here, has been fucking this country for years.
Absolutely raping the Irish people, taking feckin' money out of their pockets that doesn't need to be taken.
Over 50%.
I think out of the 220 we pay for a litre of diesel, 120 of that goes to.
The government.
So, as I actually explained, RTE received millions of taxpayer money, but it's not the only media who receive money from the government.
They all rely heavily on taxpayer money.
Same in Canada, but you can see how they frame their article, what they use to frame protesters as what?
Far right?
Or when it was the mass immigration protests, they were labeled as racist and bigot.
Those people here in Ireland, they just want to continue to live their life, you know.
They are proud to be Irish.
They want to preserve their country.
They don't want fake refugees who will have access to everything that they don't have access to drain resources, drain access to lodging, healthcare.
They want to preserve also their culture, who they are.
Their heritage.
Now we are seeing a population that is in decline, but we see a lot of newcomers coming here, and some of them are not integrating.
Mass immigration is destroying not only Ireland, it's destroying all Western countries.
And unfortunately, here in Ireland, they don't have a political party that will stop it.
They are all for it, they are all promoting it.
They want to open the door of mass immigration.
And Ireland.
Should just accept that?
And Irish should just say goodbye to who they are?
What has been the Irish mainstream media's response?
Do they remind you of Canada's media?
So, yes, the mainstream media is literally the same as in Canada.
They are biased, they are smearing people who are not in the narrative that the government wants, and if The media try to be a little bit neutral.
The government interfere and say, we will actually audit you because you look sighted on the side of the protester.
This is what government money do.
You're not free to report what you want.
You are actually a government puppet.
And this is what we are able to see here in Ireland.
Hey boss, how are you today?
So, is this all brought by the neighborhood shops and people?
Shops and people have been coming continuously with stuff, especially from Tuesday.
It's just been an ongoing process, especially this man here has spent the majority of his time standing here for the last three days.
So, no, it's been unbelievable.
I think it has wakened a lot of people up.
Like, there was an old lady here yesterday with a trolley.
She had, you know, she might have been in her 80s and she was so glad to see what was going on happening.
But so many people in the city are fed up with the direction society is going.
Are you from Dublin itself?
No, I'm actually from Monaghan, which is 90 or 100 miles down the road.
Now, we're on a street in a neighbourhood that has a lot of history and a history of rebellion as well.
Is that spirit still alive in Ireland in 2026?
I suppose a couple of mornings ago, I said to one of the Lurry lads, I says, if you stand back and look at it, the soul, these lads plough the ground, they draw the food, and the soul of Ireland has now landed on O'Connell Street because they've been watching this evolve over the course of the last 10, 20 years, and now they're all fed up with the level of corruption within the country, and it's unsustainable.
It's quite clear we have leadership that's not fit to lead, and they're just playing to a globalist.
European agenda, and the Irish people are now just becoming, how do you put it, in one sense, you could nearly call the place an open jail to a degree because they're all just numbers.
It's as if real communities no longer matter and they don't mind filling the communities with whatever they would like.
So, are you referring to immigration there?
I'm trying to understand what you mean.
There was a lady who came up to the city here after Christmas and she came up on the bus from Monaghan.
And she made the remark about the amount of young ones getting off the airport to go to Australia, go back to work.
I says, it's ridiculous.
I says, they're exporting pedigree cattle and they're taking in stuff that they haven't even got papers for.
There's no ear tags.
It's a ridiculous situation at this stage.
Plus, because of my journey through the system, I stood up to the corruption 10 years ago.
In relation to our businesses being stolen off us.
And I've been in jail in the state here eight times for just saying, no, you aren't getting away with this.
But if anybody wanted to look at Fergal Deary on TikTok, Fergal Joseph Deary on TikTok, you will find a lot of the information and paperwork that shows that the level of corruption within the system is unsustainable.
They've become so removed from the realities of Irish life.
Well, listen, I wish you good luck and thanks very much for manning the food bank here.
Good to talk with you.
Cheers.
Likewise.
Well, that's our friend Alexa Lavoie in Dublin, Ireland.
I find it a very interesting country.
It's smaller than Canada, only 5 million people.
So it almost feels like it's all friends and family.
And I suppose they can find a consensus faster.
And I think there was a consensus that taxes were just too high.
It was very interesting to me.
Hey, stay with us.
Your letter's to me next.
Hey, welcome back.
Here's the first letter about my trip to Quebec and the burnt church.
Paul Eddy says It seems from this evidence that Christian symbols are not safe anymore in Canada, and there seems to be little prosecuted or people jailed due to over 200 churches and Christian symbols desecrated in the last 15 years or so.
It seems to be a regular thing in the Anglosphere in Europe as wholesale destruction on Christian symbols.
You know, it's interesting.
I sort of have my eyes peeled for this story, and churches are burnt regularly in the UK.
France and in Scandinavia, too.
It's heartbreaking to see, and I simply don't believe that it's all accidents or faulty wiring.
I'm sorry, I just don't believe that.
Just like I don't believe that the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris was an accident.
They ruled out terrorism before they even did the investigation.
I think that tells you all you need to know.
Next letter from Messier45 says European countries are trying to get out of the EU, and the demon Carney wants Canada to join.
Just insane.
Yeah, I think.
Mark Carney is in a very strange position because I think as a banker, he knows that 90 plus percent of our exports go to the United States.
So even if you doubled your trade to other countries over the next 10 years, first of all, it takes 10 years.
And second of all, okay, so you now have 20 percent of our trade with others, not just 10 percent.
Yeah, that's still just a fraction of a segment of a part of your trade with America.
Mark Carney's Trade Dilemma00:00:28
What are you doing?
So he knows that.
But I think he loves the anti Americanism just too much.
He knows it's.
Winning for him, at least amongst boomers and newcomers to Canada.
He won three by elections, so he's going to continue being as anti American as he can be.
It's really strange.
What's our show for the day?
I'll be in Ottawa tomorrow where Sheila Gunn Reid is presenting to Parliament.
We'll do a story, we'll do a show from there.
Until then, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, to you at home, good night and keep fighting for freedom.
