France is burning — exactly as Nick Freitas warned in his documentary ‘The Immigration Crisis That Will Destroy the West’

3 weeks 1 day ago


Over the weekend, France saw some of its worst urban riots in years — the exact kind of unrest BlazeTV host Nick Freitas warned about in his recent documentary, “The Immigration Crisis That Will Destroy the West.”

The documentary — which you can watch on BlazeTV.com (with a seven-day free trial) — premiered on September 17, the same day France began its downward spiral into protests and riots that culminated in this past weekend’s destruction.

On Saturday, hundreds of thousands marched nationwide in the latest escalation of what the media has framed as a month-long student-led protest movement over poor school conditions. It began in mid-September and has continued with ongoing school blockades, multiple national days of action, and thousands of arrests.

Blaze News’ reporting points to a sharper picture. The unrest that began in migrant-heavy suburbs quickly became an alliance between far-left organizers and immigrant communities, turning demonstrations into ethnic riots marked by assaults on police, widespread looting, and the deliberate destruction of historic sites.

In many cities, including Paris, Marseille, Lyon, Limoges, Bordeaux, and Rennes, among others, groups of masked, often black-clad protesters clashed with police, set fires, and ransacked businesses.

In Limoges, the historic 143-year-old town hall — a 19th-century neo-Renaissance building — was set on fire and largely destroyed, with its roof and clock tower collapsing in flames. Lyon’s tourist office was torched; Marseille’s city hall was stormed and graffitied; and in Bordeaux, a masked mob invaded and ransacked the prefect’s residence.

Although 60,000 police and security personnel were mobilized across the country, they proved unable to restore order in multiple cities.

French President Emmanuel Macron blamed the chaos on the “French people.” In a national address on Sunday, he asked, “How can French people do this to France?”

President Trump, however, rejected this framing. On Sunday, he wrote on Truth Social: “France is burning! The immigration of people from an entirely different world, people with hatred in their hearts, has shattered that once great country. Close your Borders and take control, before it is too late!”

Freitas had a similar warning in his documentary: “The question before us is, will we do what is necessary? Because the hour is late, and for some parts of the West, it may be too late.”

After this weekend, it seems France may be one of those parts.

In “The Immigration Crisis That Will Destroy the West,” Freitas examines how decades of mass migration have utterly hollowed out Britain’s centuries of rich history and culture — and why that trajectory is a warning for the rest of the West. Watch it now on BlazeTV.com with a seven-day free trial.

Breitbart Business Digest: The Homebuilders Say Legal Workers Are Hiding from ICE

The home building firms have a challenge when it comes to complaining about immigration enforcement. They do not want to admit dependence on illegal labor. So if some of their workers are not showing up, they need to tell a tale about the enforcement discouraging legal workers also.

Looks like the punishments will continue across the pond until morale improves. France on fire in the “mostly peaceful” riots — according to the BBC — this past weekend could yet ignite a final, furious, Globalist-Jacobin bid to wreck Western Civ as populist nationalism looms ever larger to defeat them.

Dave Landau gives surprising defense of Tom Cruise’s box-office bomb ‘Digger’

3 weeks 1 day ago


“Digger” — the satirical black comedy starring Tom Cruise — was a major box-office flop, grossing just $8 million domestically on opening night despite an estimated $160-$180 million production budget.

Critics complain the movie is unfunny, features over-the-top, abrasive performances, and has a preachy climate message.

Comedian and BlazeTV host Dave Landau, however, disagrees and says he very much “enjoyed” the film.

“I was laughing out loud through most of the movie,” he tells co-host of “Stu and Dave Do America” Stu Burguiere.

Contrary to critic and audience complaints, Dave says Cruise’s character — a wealthy oil tycoon named Digger Rockwell — is “great.”

A common complaint is that the Digger in the film is very different from what people expected based on the marketing of the film, but Dave says to be forthcoming about his character in advertising would have “[ruined] the film.”

“Like if the ‘Sixth Sense’ came out, like ‘he sees dead people.’ ... That would be a bad part of the trailer,” Stu analogizes.

“[Digger] is an oil baron, kind of out of control, gregarious sort of character is how I pictured it from the marketing, which was very limited,” he continues. “My understanding, and tell me if this is true, is that ... half an hour in or so, the whole movie kind of changes.”

Dave confirms that this is true — but unlike critics, he enjoyed this surprise element of the film.

“I don't want to give away too much, but one part is obviously lampooning the right, and one part is obviously lampooning the left,” he tells Stu, equating watching the movie to “wearing your team colors,” but “you're not able to see the jokes being made at the other side.”

The character of President Compson, played by John Goodman, is “definitely Trump-esque,” says Dave, but it’s “not what you think it is.”

“The way that [the movie] twists, I think, is brilliant ... Tom Cruise when he plays these characters is really entertaining,” he says. “Like, I know Tom Cruise is a lunatic and a Scientologist, but my God, he's so good at acting.”

“I think you should see it. I enjoyed it. I laughed so much during it.”
