France Protests: Debate Over Violence, Immigration and Macron

France is facing another revolution.

At least 3,000 shops ransacked, almost 1,000 police

injured, thousands arrested. They're calling it a student

protest, but if it's really about schools, why is

Paris in ruins? Well, ask Macron. He just took a

page out of Jean-Pierre's binder.

How you say cheap fake?

For me, there is no visible foreign interference

in the events that took

place. On the other hand, there was foreign manipulation of information

afterwards, yes, and that gave rise to unacceptable and stupid

comments from many people, including foreign leaders.

Last year, France let in almost 400,000 foreigners.

That's a lot for a small country like France, and that's up double digits.

And guess where they came from? Morocco, Algeria,

Tunisia, Afghanistan, all Muslims from

Africa and the Middle East. And no surprise, not only are most of

them not grateful, they're not assimilating.

Why aren't the French defending themselves?

You'd think they'd have learned by now.

Remember when the Nazis came in 1940?

France barely fought back. They shrugged, surrendered, and

said, "C'est la vie."

Who saved them? We did. By the way liberals talk about

the French, you'd think they'd be the loudest

condemning the assault

on French culture. They cherish French food, French art,

French healthcare.

They constantly pound their chests about the importance of our

allies and NATO. Today,

silent,

as the cultural capital of Europe is being overrun by

violent migrants.

But it's not just foreign hordes. They've joined forces with French

traitors.

A suspect who allegedly burned the famous Limoges Town

Hall has been identified. He's basically French Antifa,

been on a national security watch list for ties to radical

ultra-left extremist movements.

First thing on his Facebook page, Black Lives Matter.

Shocker. It's a dangerous combination: radical

leftists, third world migrants, and leaders too weak

to stop them. The left flings open the gates to the

barbarians who wanna destroy our culture and our laws and our

history,

and together they destroy iconic landmarks,

beautiful monuments, our shared heritage.

And it's all the same goal,

the obliteration of Western civilization.

Our media's lying about what we're seeing with our own eyes, all

the Africans on the streets of Paris.

They just say they're bond vigilantes.

It's not even so much-

Yes.

Let's check our sources

... this whole, like-

Their house is on fire

... you know, oh, it's about the, it's about the Brown people coming in.

It's actually about a country that is dealing with incredibly high

debt, high- increasing bond rates, uh, increasing

unemployment, lower prospects for young people.

Just like when they told you Biden was sharp as a tack.

BLM, mostly peaceful. The French border is

airtight, and these students are just very passionate about

learning.

Do you see the Palestinian flags? What does it have to do with, uh, the

school curriculum or lack of teachers or the days being too long?

Well, first of all, there are many people, young people, who are upset about what

happened in Gaza, and that's not just immigrants.

That's many people who grew up in France and including immigrants.

So you burn a 200-year-old-

I totally condemn-

... a 200-year-old building because you don't

like what's happening in

Gaza?

Absolutely not.

This isn't about education. If it were, they'd be walking out of class, not

burning down town halls. Just like Black Lives Matter

wasn't about police reform. You don't tear down statues

of Columbus 'cause you're mad at cops.

You don't torch a 143-year-old landmark because classrooms are

overcrowded.

Now, if France doesn't stand up for itself,

Paris is gonna

become Palestine.

That wasn't a little bit of a

riot. That wasn't a little bit of a protest.

That was, that was a full-on revolution,

and it continues, and it continues. They have to straighten out their act.

Otherwise,

there won't be a Europe left. There'll be nothing to be friendly with.

You're not gonna have a Europe pretty soon if they keep going.

They've been close before. 1940, when France surrendered

to the Nazis, one man refused. His name, Charles de

Gaulle. He had no army. He had no money,

but he told the French to stand up and fight anyway.

He had courage to protect what he loved, and courage is

contagious.

Think about it. Charlemagne, Napoleon, Monet,

Descartes.

French history is filled with brilliant and brave men,

and now every time a building is burned, a French store is looted, a

monument's graffitied, they're spitting on their graves.

You don't get a country like this by accident. People built it.

People died for it, and we can't let it fall.

France and the West must be defended.

They were worth it then, and they're worth it now.
