"The Irish government wants to put you in jail for up to five years for possession of a meme ... not even for communicating, but having in your possession a meme, for which the bill doesn't even define what hatred is ... which would be wide open to judicial interpretation."
In this episode, I sit down with Irish politician Hermann Kelly. He is president of the Irish Freedom Party, which promotes preserving Irish culture and national identity.
"Ireland currently spends 8 percent of its complete national budget on the so-called NGOs, quangos, non-government organizations. That's over $6 billion a year," says Mr. Kelly.
We dive into alarming trends in Ireland, from unvetted mass immigration to a new bill that drastically curtails free speech.
"Ireland has now recently become an extreme, dystopian state, where the state is looking to impose what I call the anti-free speech bill, which will restrict hugely and penalize people for free speech," says Mr. Kelly. "At the moment in Ireland, the constitution states that all citizens are equal before the law. This bill introduces what it calls 'protected characteristics,' where the state identifies certain groups and gives them privileges over other citizens."
Mr. Kelly believes the only way for Ireland to control its budget and its borders is to exit the European Union.
"The vast majority of people coming into Ireland are completely legally through EU open borders and free movement," says Mr. Kelly. "EU citizens can waltz into Ireland with no contribution to the state, no skills, perhaps with a criminal record, and there's absolutely nothing that we can do about it."
