I live in Ireland half the year. I rebuilt my great-grandmother's birthplace. My whole family is there now. And the media in Ireland is entirely state-controlled, almost entirely. There are a couple of independent voices. But all you hear is the EU, EUSSR propaganda line. Untrammeled immigration is good. National borders are bad. Nationalism is bad.

And you see this struggle going on in Europe that, frankly, we saw in Eastern Europe in the late 70s and into the 80s. It's distressing to watch. But as you pointed out earlier, we never really do learn. We just get to keep doing the same dumb things over and over again.

Yeah, I hope not. I hope the EU falls. It's been very, very bad for Ireland. It's destroyed. As I like to say in Ireland, we were a slave state for 800 years under the British. They took our language. They took our property. They destroyed our homes. They starved us to death. They put us on coffin ships and sent us out.

We had freedom for 100 years, and we couldn't wait to give it away to Brussels. Not if it ain't, I'd take London again compared to Brussels. But it's become a slave state of the EU, and it's very sad. But you're right. Hungary is a good example. I spent a lot of time in Hungary, and that's a wonderful country under Orban. And yet our media treats Orban like he's the second coming of Hitler.

It's really disgraceful. I just think there's not enough honest people in journalism anymore. I think they're all activists now and they're taught to be activists and they think that's the job. And I come back to, so what's the difference between you and Pravda? In the end, there isn't any.

Yes. As a matter of fact, I wrote a review of it for some academic publication. I think that's Helen Pluckrose. And is it Lindsay? Yeah. Yeah.

Well, I wrote a book 10 years ago that turned out to be very influential on the right. It's called The Devil's Pleasure Palace, and it's about critical theory and the Frankfurt School. I mean, that's a whole other subject, but those people applied cultural Marxism, a phrase they deny that cultural Marxism exists, so you know it must exist. And they took it to every aspect of our lives.

And it really found root in academia. It started at Columbia and it moved all across the country. And we're dealing with the end stage of that now with what's going on at our major universities. They're collapsing under the weight, just as communism did, of reality eventually overtakes theory and reality.

Oh, it does. I'm pessimistic about the media as it's currently constituted.

I think that's right. And that's what's cracking the media finally. And it's why they're collapsing. And it's why Tapper, who, by the way, used to be the press spokesman for Chelsea Clinton's mother-in-law. So Tapper goes back as a Democrat activist all the way back to Marjorie Margolis, Ms. Vinsky. These guys are folding under the pressure. He'll try to get away with it.
