Chapter 1: How is Ireland currently doing politically and economically?
Conor McGregor, thanks a lot for having us. This is one of the great, Dublin's one of the great cities in the world.
For sure. The best city in the world.
You can make a claim to that. Walk around Dublin for a day and then think of five better cities. Not possible. It's an amazing place. It's an amazing country. How's the country doing?
You know, like a lot of countries in the Western sphere, it is being governed by, you know, people with ill intentions of its people.
Yes.
And, you know, they have not got the interest of their people at its heart. However, our country stays strong. Our people are strong-willed, strong-minded, and we are of amazing spirit. And it's about highlighting the issues that are going on. And as we have been doing, It's turning. We will get there.
I am not going to sit here in front of you with a doom and gloom about the things that are going wrong. I will highlight for sure, but I will highlight the solutions and the resolutions and where we are headed and keep the outlook positive. That is what has worked for me my entire life and my entire career, where I was able to rise up and do things that were...
once considered unattainable, you know, kept a positive outlook. And that's what I will urge my citizens and my countrymen, my fellow countrymen and women to do. And that's what we are doing. You know, we had a great moment in the Oval Office with President Trump where we got to speak, and before the press in the White House where we got to speak our case. It was the first time it had happened.
In our history, really, where we felt as a people, someone spoke up about our issues. We often hear, and very hastily, hear about overseas issues or foreign affairs. And we hear about it so much that we are left scratching our head. Well, what about our issues? Exactly. What about the issues the people of Ireland face? And that is a rising sentiment today.

Chapter 2: What was Conor McGregor's upbringing and early career like?
And- I mean, I've only been here two days, but I'm a little bit confused by it, because Ireland is not like the United States in that you have an indigenous population of Celtic people called the Irish, who've been here since the beginning of known history. And so it's not like you were invaders. You were also never a colonial power. You never invaded anybody else.
You didn't have overseas colonies. You just kind of stayed on your island and brewed alcoholic beverages.
I have the best brewery in the land. Not to me.
You never bothered anybody. You don't have any national crimes to atone for. So I come here to Dublin, your biggest city, and not one advertisement on any public space has Irish people in it.
Yeah.
And it's clearly part of the same propaganda campaign. Yeah. Like make white people hate themselves, make white people feel ashamed to be white, white people are criminals. It's like, okay, but why would they, who's doing that to you and why? Like, what is that?
I feel since the turn of the crash, Our government elite have been accosted into full-time globalist traitors of Ireland. And they take their orders from above. And it is not even them. They are being ordered and the orders are coming down onto the people and the people have no say. We need amendments to the constitution. We need to remove this tight grip.
that the political elite have over the public. And that is it. And that is our goal here eventually. I operate my businesses and my entire life on fairness. That is it. What is fair? What is correct? Our government elite do the absolute opposite. And it has to change. It has got to change. Our culture is being erased.
And you have a very distinct thousand-year-old or older culture that's based on Irishness, the indigenous population of the island that we're on right now. And they're being replaced at super high speed. So you have said immigration is treason, mass migration is treason. Describe the scale of it to Ireland and its effects.

Chapter 3: Why does Conor McGregor believe Irish culture is being erased?
Are you going to do it anyway?
I'm going to push forward and carry on my journey, highlighting my country's Plight, my country's fight, and also my country's delight. You know, I do not want to be doom and gloom here, as I said. Dublin is the greatest city on earth. And Ireland is the greatest country on earth. And I know as an American man, you're probably sitting there in your chair, but we love Ireland dearly, our people.
No, I'm not, actually. I'm just the opposite. I'm thinking you've got a claim on being the greatest country. You've got a claim, for sure. You do.
And it's worth fighting for. And that's it. That's what I'm here for.
But so why wouldn't... I know the media here hates you, but I've never understood why. I mean, you're not calling for invading anybody or throwing anyone in prison, maybe other than your corrupt leadership. You sound like they deserve it. Why would they hate you?
I'm just calling for national safety. Right now, our national security is at risk. And that is a fact. We are being overrun. And it's a danger to the public. And on top of that,
is our overspending of our public wealth it is preposterous the the the splashing of our money on issues that have not one not got to do with us and two that actually directly put us in danger and these are my issues that i wish we'll say, run on our campaign. You ask about my political aspirations. I am of the belief that the era of the politician must end. It must come to an end.
It has proven unfruitful. And that is clear as day by the statistics and by what we see around us. It is straight chancery. Our ministers and our appointed ministers have no history in the... roles that they are appointed to. Our Minister of Finance has no history in accounting. Our Minister of Health has no history in the health industry.
Our Minister of Education was never a school teacher, as an example, as an example, as an example. It is straight chancery we are dealing with. The era of the politician must end, Tucker. And I can see with the selections of the Trump administration that we look upon, which has been 24-7 right from my vantage point,

Chapter 4: What obstacles does McGregor face in running for president of Ireland?
And it's billions per annum. Billions in profit per annum. And people... Another thing, the traffic core on Garda Síocháin is one of the most successful divisions in the Gardaí, in the police force, in our police force, for convictions. And, you know, it is the most successful. And it has caused untold stress onto the people of Ireland.
I wonder the amount of suicides and the amount of lives lost and families destroyed over the stress of... of the traffic car institution where you get car driving without tax or no NCT. It's all a money racket.
So just for foreigners watching this, you're talking about parking and minor traffic violations.
Parking and minor traffic violations are put through the ringer. And now in this day and age, which is why it's so infuriating, and then we'll keep calm with it, But it's why people in Ireland are waking up because everyone has felt in some way, shape or form the stress of having to make sure that you're above board on this money racket is what it is. So it's not to keep you safe.
It's to steal money from you.
Not to keep you safe. But on this day and age now, we've got our new visitors to the island who get fully exempt from driving without tax, insurance, NCT and even on Irish reg plates. Free as a bird. Right through. After our nation has gone through the most stressful periods of our life, lives have been lost due to the stress caused of this branch in Ungardishley Corner.
And yet now our neighbours from other countries are moving here and with full exemption to drive around our roads with supercharged vehicles that have been imported on the taxpayers' dime. And then also even another...
crazy statement is if something happens to your vehicle, if you're a nice, friendly visitor or potential new member of our country, you get your vehicle repaired at a cost to the state. So it is just ludicrous. And the people of Ireland are rising up to it. We're just being awakened to it. And that's it. As we awaken... You know, we're noticing... Wait, is what you said real?
That's very, very real. Very, very real. How can they justify you?

Chapter 5: How is mass migration affecting Ireland's society and economy?
Chapter 6: What are the concerns about government corruption and overspending in Ireland?
Why?
Let's go away. Let's sail on the yacht. Let's fucking do something. Excuse the language. Let's do something else. I cannot. My country is my country, and I'll fight for it until the day I go out. And that is it.
What was it like growing up here? Where did you grow up? What were the circumstances? What was Ireland like as you were growing up?
Ireland's a beautiful place, beautiful place to grow up, very, very community-driven and family-driven. And I grew up in a Dublin suburb off the city centre called Crumlin. Dublin 12 is the district. It's why I named my whisky proper number 12 after my district. It's where my public house is that we will go after in Dublin 12, the Black Forge Inn.
It's also home to the largest children's hospital in the country. So most people in Ireland have a relationship with the area. It's a rough and tough area also. And...
Was it growing up rough?
For sure it was. For sure it was. You know, we moved out when I was about 17 years of age and that kind of got me a little break from it, if you will. But I was 17 years of age. I had already made my friends. I was like an alien in the new place. So I always made my way back down. My boxing club was down there. My football club was down there. All my friends were down there.
So I met, although I moved out at 17, I never really moved out, you know, so. But Ireland's a great place full of great people and...
But it wasn't a rich neighborhood you grew up in?

Chapter 7: How does McGregor view the political elite and their relationship with Irish citizens?
Chapter 8: What is Conor McGregor’s vision for Ireland’s future and his presidential bid?
It's awful here, I just want to say that.
It's a free-for-all with our public wealth, with our money. A free-for-all. And it's being stolen. And it has to stop. It's not... How long? I couldn't give you the exact figures, you know. Statistics... It doesn't look bright. It could happen a year, not long. Anyway, not long.
Feels that way. So how did you, just back to my original question, you're a plumber's apprentice on an industrial site in Ireland, cutting cast iron pipes and replacing them or whatever you're doing, probably something like that. And then you wind up here thinking about running for president with these very evolved political views. How did that happen?
Having a love for one's country. That's it, I have a love for my country. I fought to represent my nation's flag on the grandest stage of fighting. That was my aspiration, to represent my nation, to open the doors of the fighting world and the martial arts world to the Irish public, and to support my teammates.
We were all, we had a kindred spirit rising up, chasing our dreams, and a very tight-knit tight-knit crew, and we rose up. And I got in there. I was successful. I opened it up. Now the martial arts lifestyle is a real way of living for many people in Ireland, and I take great happiness in seeing that. And I suppose it's just continued off of that. You know, it's a different fight now.
You know, it's a different fight, but it's still a fight to represent my country to the best of my ability.
Well, Easter is finally here, and there's no better way to remember the story of Christ. Jesus dying for your sins is the most powerful thing that's ever happened in history. It is really the beginning of history, and it's worth celebrating. This Easter, embrace the freedom of the resurrection on Hallow, which is the number one prayer app in the world.
Join Liz Tabish, who plays Mary Magdalene in The Chosen, actor Kevin James, and others in an immersive and jubilant prayer experience worthy of Easter itself.
Every single day, you learn how to walk in freedom amidst the circumstances often crushing of your daily life and let go of the things that you're attached to and that are causing suffering and instead embrace the peace and freedom that come when you place your trust in God, which is the only place to place your trust.
