Protests in France Over Education Issues

Schools blockaded, cars burning, police attack, chaos

everywhere. These are scenes out of France, of course,

where students

are protesting s- supposedly overcrowded classrooms, teacher

shortages, crumbling schools. But they're just protesting,

a lot of them,

because that's what they do. Now, for years, the Anglos warned that Europe's

political class was in for a rude awakening.

The globalists are meeting their comeuppance. Well, here it is.

You can only ignore your own people for so long before they say, "Enough."

We're not being listened to. We- we don't have enough money.

We, um, our priorities are not the government priority, and that

also triggers lots of anxiety. And that, um,

triggers our will to really go and strike even more.

Government spending accounts for about 57% of France's economy.

Its debt is now at 4.1 trillion. All that spending and

borrowing, and France's government still needs more

of your money and control.

America, this is a warning. From the immigration

disaster there, uh, to the fiscal mismanagement, the

same promises. Free college, government-funded healthcare,

tax the rich,

climate change, open borders. They're all being sold here, and they

were implemented, some of them, here by AOC, Bernie,

El-Sayed. But one man from France has a warning for

all of us tonight,

and his message is clear. Before you vote for more government,

look at what's happening in the streets of France.

Here now is Reviel Lapomme, CEO of Argylle.

Reviel, excuse me, French is not my, uh, is not my language.

But-

... um, what should Americans understand, first about what is

happening in France? There are a bunch of dynamics at play.

The immigration, you know, disaster there, the economic disaster, the

middle class crumbling. What do Americans need to understand that

perhaps they're not getting from the headlines?

Um, I think basically what we are seeing right now in France is the

consequences of, uh, decades, decades of, uh, socialism.

So basically, I think we had a turning point

in, uh, in the '80, uh, from Mitterrand.

And, uh, and right now it's, uh, it's a bit funny because there

are, uh, the students are protesting about, like, uh,

having more,

uh, more money to, to a better school, but at the end of the day just a mixing

of different causes. And it's, uh, it's a total chaos.

But I think what we are watching right now in France

is the literally the

consequences of, uh,

uh, of the states, and because states don't know how to

manage money, and this is

literally the consequences of, of socialism.

So that's why the, the purpose of, of my, uh,

of my, of my, of, of my post and, uh...

Because I, I live in US, I live in Fr- I grew up in France and, uh,

and I'm seeing some, uh, temptation from applying the

method we we literally apply for the last, uh, 40 years in France

in US, and, um, just trying to, to warn US people it, it won't work.

Yeah, Reviel, the socialism doesn't work.

I mean, the socialists-

Yeah, literally

... the great socialist experiment

really took place-

Yeah

... in France. Uh, ab- above any other country. France was it.

It was the be all and end all for American liberals in the

universities. When I was in college in the 1980s,

France was the pinnacle of what we all wanted to be. Follow France.

And, and liberals here still believe that. Still believe it, on every issue.

Um, what is your prediction for what will

happen, uh, with

Marine Lap- uh, Le Pen and the opposition

to, of course, the Macron era, which is coming to a close?

I think Macron is the,

is literally the, the final product of just s- having

this vision of, uh, like, being globalist and using different

causes to, uh, bring an agenda. And, uh,

yeah, basically right now we... It's, it's, it's, it's really

messy in France and, uh, Marine Le Pen is just the, the,

the opposite. Uh, she want to, to, to fix the problem in, uh,

in the immigration. We have also problem in economy,

and so that's another topic.

But yeah, right now I think, uh, the majority of French just realize

we have a problem with, uh, with immigration.

I think it's, uh, it's, uh, like 70% of U- of French people want to

just stop immigration. And, uh, and this is just

not basically what Macron and Europ- European-

Yeah

... uh, uh, elite is, is, is doing. But yeah, it's,

uh, it's a constriction for, for, for the last decades and we are just, uh,

we, we, we are...

I think people are not happy with that and, uh, and, uh, and I think some-

Socialism doesn't work. Reviel, I was gonna say-

Yeah

... socialism and open borders is a nightmare.

It's gonna destroy your country, your culture, your economy, down

the drain. France is a prime example.

Socialism, open borders, culture clash, nightmare.

Uh, the, the-

Yeah

... the fall of Christianity, fall of Christianity, sorry, in,

in some parts of

France. I mean, it's, there's a revival going on I think too.

There's some good things happening in France.

But we want France to be great and succeed. Reviel, thank you so much.

We appreciate it. And coming up, this is wh-
