My dad was on the border in the 1970s with the IRA shooting at him and he didn't even get a gun. Our cops aren't armed. But Carlson is just throwing this stuff out, being uneducated about it. And he says at the very end of the interview, McGregor says, oh, there's been a government kind of hit job on me. They're planning to bring me down. And what he's referring to is

A civil trial, now not a criminal trial, a civil trial that Conor McGregor lost when he was brought to court for alleged rape and sexual assault. And the jury believed he's his accuser, a woman called a hairdresser called Nikita Hand. And Conor McGregor was forced to pay damages of a quarter of a million euro to her, plus compensation.

costs in the Irish High Court, which are about one and a half million euro. Now, to you or me, that would be a huge sum of money. To Conor McGregor, that's nothing. And I have to say, for legal reasons, he is appealing it. But the reality is that's standing in the way of any political ambitions Conor McGregor has.

And we just had here in the last year, we had a local election for local councils, a general election, a European parliamentary election. Any one of those, all he needed to do was put up 150 quid and he could have stood. He would be on the ballot. In fact, under Irish electoral law, he could have stood in every single constituency in the country and he didn't stand for election.

And now he's complaining that he's being debarred from the Irish presidential race. And he's not. It's just it's an exceptionally difficult ballot to get on. You can't just stump up the money in America and become a third party candidate or a writing candidate or whatever. That doesn't work here. You need the support of a large number of democratically elected politicians to get there.

Yeah. I think with Connor, it's, it's all about his, his ego, which is probably what you'd expect from an MMA star. You know, there's going to be an element of, you know, ego and showboating and K fab and so on. I mean, it's interesting. And he's interviewed with Tucker Carlson. He was giving out that the minister of education was, you know, isn't a teacher, they're unqualified for the job.
