France is once again on fire. Historic buildings are once again on fire. Businesses are being looted if they are not on fire. French Open Borders activists are committing to the bit so spectacularly that they are trying to actually reason with these people by saying, no, I'm on your side. I work for pro-migration organizations. I'm why you're here. And they like literally don't understand why these people are like speaking to them at all. So they shove her out of the way and loot, you know, her little boutique or whatever is left of it. We've also seen videos of these people forcing elderly French citizens to strip down to their underwear after robbing them, just like total barbarism. And of course, it's either being ignored or being described as a student protest because, yes, the people who received the most funding per capita for education today, who have received the most funding for education in the history of the world, that is to say, there has never been more money spent trying to educate a population than the West has been trying to educate these people, the people who, despite all of this, do the worst in school and are the most disruptive, turns out they're just a little cheesed. They're just a little cheesed that they don't have Chromebooks.

They don't have the TI-84Cs, right? They have to use like the boring no-color models when they're constructing line graphs and so on, I suppose. But if this is the case, if this is the case that education cannot in fact be used as a universal tool for human improvement, what happens then? What happens when you flood your country with people thinking it's possible to educate or otherwise assimilate them and then it simply doesn't work? Well, I want to get into a little bit of Patriot history today. I want to talk about a former French colony, which at one point was one of the wealthiest places in the Americas, but then which had a revolution against the French from which apparently they've never recovered. This is, of course, Haiti, a country whose revolution is still celebrated by many leftists, including extremely based presidential candidate Kanye West, because the Haitians basically went around killing every white person they could find, even the ones who treated them well, advocated for their rights, emancipation, and so on. Very interesting stuff. Then, Democrat senators are literally calling for lawfare against young Trump admin staffers as a means of deterrence, which is, of course, something we've been mourning about for five years. So we have to once again, sound the alarm and explain what this means going into 2028 and beyond. Do stay tuned.

Hello there, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to The John Doyle Show. So France has erupted into a series of protests occurring all across the country in most major cities. And it's being said that this is because of the high cost of living, high prices generally, inequality, spending cuts, and in particular, fighting against the policy of what is called austerity measures, which is essentially just trying to like rein in government spending and make it a little bit more efficient in trying to bring down, you know, the public deficit by doing things like freezing the pay growth of many public sector workers. And so these protests have quickly turned into riots and looting across France, with the most notable examples being the burning of the Le Meige's town hall. I don't know. It's like a historic 150 year old building. Now it's turned to like pretty much ash. People are saying it survived, you know, the first and second world wars couldn't survive, you know, five seconds of third world mass migration. Literally true, by the way, we've got well over a thousand stores looted. There's a lot of imagery, a lot of videos to all of this that we're going to try to show you. But, you know, you can you can monitor the situation and see what's kind of going on online more of course than any reporting in the media would ever tell you about. So first, we mentioned this a little bit. I think we have the leftist activist woman standing in front of this like supermarket or this like boutique that someone said that she herself owns. I think we saw that she actually owns this as like a side project. Her main work is doing this like left hard activism stuff. So she stands there and she screams about how, you know, this is not like, you know, it's not my fault. I am not your enemy. I am actually alongside you. I am an advocate for you. I'm even why you're here in the first place. And then, you know, they just kind of like laugh at her. And they just like, you know, literally, I think move her out of the way, and then break in and shout things like, you know, oh, get the wine, get the wine. And it's really telling because she's like in shock while all of this is going on. She's like looking at this in horror, even though certainly she has supported everything possible politically that could have conceivably led to exactly this outcome occurring. But note especially how she says throughout, she starts looping herself saying like, Nepali cause, Nepali cause, which I'm assuming means something like, this is not the cause, this is not the cause. She thinks that what is going on is some attempted establishing this grand utopian freaking equality, just society, equality, liberty, all of that. And she's like, no, this isn't what you should be doing, looting my store. We have to go after the freaking 1%.
