Host John O’Brien is joined by Herman Kelly, President of the Irish Freedom Party, and Richard Schenk of MCC Brussels to discuss:

1. The War on Farmers
The EU’s new climate law is not about saving the planet, it is about control.
A 90% emissions cut by 2040 means mass culls, fertiliser bans and billions in fines. Irish farmers are told to destroy their herds while global corporations collect green subsidies. Europe’s countryside is being sacrificed on the altar of ideology. This is not transition. It is managed demolition.

2. The Fall of Free Media
From London to Berlin, public broadcasters have become pulpits for state ideology. The BBC, RTÉ and ARD are funded by taxpayers yet hostile to ordinary Europeans. Their neutrality is a myth. Their journalism is a sermon. Courts are now asking whether propaganda dressed as news can even be constitutional. The truth is simpler. We are forced to fund our own indoctrination.

3. Borders Without Nations
Brussels calls it mandatory solidarity.
In reality it is a system that fines countries for defending their own borders. Mass migration is reshaping Europe, its culture, its safety, its democracy. The EU insists it is inevitable. It is not.

The tragedy of the commons has become the tragedy of the continent.
When everyone owns Europe’s borders, no one defends them.
Europe’s ruling class is losing control of the story. Farmers, workers and citizens are writing a new one, rooted in sovereignty, sanity and common sense.
