Éric Zemmour — French author, journalist, presidential candidate, and one of the most important voices in the Western nationalist movement — joins Nick this week to discuss his landmark book, The Suicide of France, now available in English for the first time.
Zemmour walks through what France looked like in the era of De Gaulle, how assimilation worked and then broke, and how immigration turned from a managed flow into what he calls an invasion and then a colonization. He draws sweeping parallels between France's civilizational crisis and what is now unfolding in America, makes the case that Samuel Huntington was right, explains the Molotov-Ribbentrop dynamic between woke ideology and political Islam.
Through all that, he insists that there is still yet hope for France and for America, but only if the people will mobilize to defend their way of life and their future.
A special thank you to Nathan Pinkoski for his translation work that made this interview possible.
