On Monday evening, Tucker Carlson invited former Trump campaign CEO Steve Bannon onto his X show to discuss the recent Irish anti-immigration riots and the rise of UFC champion Conor McGregor as a political force and possible future leader of Ireland.

As Valuetainment previously reported, the city of Dublin, Ireland was set ablaze on Thanksgiving night after a migrant stabbed three children and two teachers. One victim, a five-year-old girl, had to be taken to the hospital for emergency treatment. Protestors burned cop cars and buses, looted stores, and waved Irish flags through migrant neighborhoods to express their discontent over the Irish government’s lax immigration policy.
But as Tucker goes over at the beginning of his 41st X episode, left-wing media outlets were quick to combat the idea that the murderer was an immigrant. “The BBC found that the man was an Irish citizen who had lived in the country for 20 years,” The Washington Post claimed. The outlet quoted the Irish chief of police who characterized the rioters as a “lunatic faction driven by a far-right ideology.”

Tucker countered that the attacker was, in fact, an immigrant from Algeria, who had been living in Ireland for over 20 years “at the public’s expense.” According to Tucker, he had never held a job and was living on government assistance or welfare.
EU Immigration Policy
Bannon framed the riots as an outbreak of tensions between the Irish urban working class, “nationals” whose families have lived in the country for countless generation, and the Irish political class which has “completely sold out to the EU.”
The European Union, headquartered in Brussels, aggressively pursues a program of mass immigration, and rewards politicians in European countries for complying with their agenda, Bannon explained. Bannon remarked that this very real immigration policy, when criticized by the right, is unfairly termed “the Great Replacement conspiracy theory.” “It’s not a theory,” Tucker replied in agreement.
Bannon further elaborated that he believes the EU and “Davos,” or the World Economic Forum (WEF), operates in this way out of a belief that the native populations of Europe are “dangerous” and start too many wars, so they have to be kept down with control measures such as multicultural immigration and radically ‘democratic’ laws.
Tucker replied that he thinks the best way to describe the motivations of such bureaucrats is deep-seated “race hate,” pointing out that African nations are frequently at war and “no one is saying, “we’ve got too many Africans in Nigeria, let’s replace them with Indians,” or something, no one would even think to say that.”
Bannon then brought up the “hate speech” laws that are now being passed by the Irish government in response to the riots. Tucker excoriated this move, saying it is the Irish government effectively banning criticism of its regime. Bannon added that “they’re trying to do that every day in the United States,” whether through the courts and the FBI or through Big Tech.
The former White House Chief Strategist also highlighted the “nine million” illegal immigrants that have crossed into America since Joe Biden became President. He pointed out that there is no plan to halt the immigration, and people who speak out against it like Tucker himself are pulled from cable networks. Bannon brought up New York City Mayor Eric Adams, who was denied billions in funds from the federal government to pay for migrant housing. The city is now cutting numerous social programs to make up for the costs.
Then, Bannon claimed America is already at bankrupt status, and that the situation in Argentina, where inflation levels have hit 150 percent (compared to the roughly 3 percent inflation rate in the US according to the Biden administration), could very well be the American reality in the not-too-distant future.

McGregor as High King of Ireland?
The pair then discussed the natural reaction to all of this, which will be a populist and nationalist uprising across many countries in the West led by “tough but fair” leaders. This naturally segued into a conversation about UFC Champion Conor McGregor’s explosion of posts on X about the riots, and the hints he dropped about “taking over Ireland” as Tucker put it.
Specifically, McGregor said:
I do not condone last nights riots. I do not condone any attacks on our first responders in their line of duty. I do not condone looting and the damaging of shops. Last nights scenes achieved nothing toward fixing the issues we face. I do understand frustrations however, and I do understand a move must be made to ensure the change we need is ushered in.
And fast! I am in the process of arranging. Believe me I am way more tactical and I have backing. There will be change in Ireland, mark my words. The change needed. In the last month, innocent children stabbed leaving school. Ashling Murphy murdered. Two Sligo men decapitated. This is NOT Ireland’s future! If they do not act soon with their plan of action to ensure Ireland’s safety, I will.

And in another X post:
We are not backing down, we are only warming up. There will be no backing down until real change is implemented for the safety of our nation. We are not losing any more of our woman and children to sick and twisted people who should not even be in Ireland in the first place. Call it what you want. We do not care. May God help us all. Ireland for victory.
Bannon said fighters are needed when times are tough, and quoted Winston Churchill that courage is the most important virtue as it acts as the foundation of all others. However, he warned that the media, corporations, and politicians will be attacking McGregor and will try to make an example out of him for speaking out.
