War Room’s Steve Bannon and professor, and populist Matt Goodwin, discussed the anti-immigration and anti-elitism that is sweeping across Europe. Goodwin explained to Bannon that average people are concerned and fed up with the destruction of their countries and way of life as a result of corrupt politicians who have allowed unvetted and mass migration.
“You guys got to get your act together on mass migration before it’s too late, or you are going to lose your countries, and you’re going to lose Europe. Can you give us a sense in the Summer of ’25 where we really stand, what kind of populist nationalism throughout Europe?” Bannon asked.
“Europe is now going through its own Trumpian moment with anti-immigration, anti-elite, pro-nation movements,” Goodwin said.
“If you look at all of the polling across Europe, a lot of these movements are reaching highs that would have been thought, you know, unthinkable in the early 2010s,” Goodwin continued.
Goodwin explained that the EU’s embrace of mass migration is largely responsible for the growing problems Europeans face.
“President Trump is right for two reasons when he says Europe is killing itself. He’s right because economically the evidence is all there. The kind of migration that is coming into Europe,” Goodwin said.
“30 million people have come into Europe over the last decade alone, both legally and illegally and we know that a lot of those folks were low-skilled, low-wage, low levels of education,” Goodwin warned.
“More importantly, this is what President Trump I think was alluding to, it’s undermining the culture of Europe too,” Goodwin continued.
“That sense of who we are, that shared culture is being rapidly undermined by the scale of mass migration,” Goodwin continued.
Goodwin explained that President Trump’s policy on detaining and deporting illegals is empowering Europe to do the same.
“For us in the UK, we’ve got a border crisis. What President Trump is doing is incredibly important because it gives us proof of concept when we say ‘look, we want to deport these guys.’ We’ve got 170,000 mainly young Islamic men coming into the UK on the small boats, entering our country illegally,” Goodwin said.
“It’s self-evident, from the receipts, from the evidence itself, right, how this has crushed people, you know the 30 million have driven down wages and culturally it’s made a mess,” Bannon said.
“The people at the top are the fruit of this system,” Bannon continued.
