Summary

Tucker Carlson interviews Dutch journalist Eva Vlaardingerbroek about her UK travel ban following criticism of Prime Minister Keir Starmer. The discussion expands to broader concerns about government censorship, mass migration, digital surveillance, and authoritarian trends across Europe and the UK.

Insights
  • European governments are implementing increasingly repressive speech restrictions under the guise of public safety, with citizens facing asset freezes, travel bans, and criminal charges for political speech without due process or appeal rights
  • There is a coordinated pattern across European leadership (UK, EU, Germany, France) implementing similar anti-border, pro-migration policies that suggests centralized direction beyond individual national governments
  • Digital infrastructure (CBDCs, message scanning, AI surveillance) is being positioned as the final control mechanism to enforce compliance, with EU planning digital euro rollout in 2026-2027
  • Secularization in Europe has eroded the moral framework (belief in good vs. evil) needed to recognize and resist authoritarian governance, contrasting sharply with religious discourse in American politics
  • Despite Brexit, the UK has become more aligned with EU governance structures and more repressive than before, suggesting deeper institutional forces at work than bureaucratic incompetence

Quotes
"This is the definition of a totalitarian state, right? This is the definition of a dictatorship in a sense that you are apparently not allowed to criticize its supreme leader without having your freedoms limited."
Eva Vlaardingerbroek
"The UK arrests far more people every year for criticizing the British government than Putin has arrested for criticizing him, where the Saudis have arrested for criticizing MBS."
Tucker Carlson
"If you lose the hope, you know, there's no point in fighting. And that's the last thing that I want because I think it's the first thing that our establishment wants is for people here to become demoralized."
Eva Vlaardingerbroek
"It's too much in sync everywhere to not see that pattern. There are deeper forces at work here than just the horrible anti-human bureaucracy in Brussels."
Tucker Carlson
"These are the lands of our ancestors and they should be the lands also of our children. That is worth fighting for."

Try Aionos, your digital partner at aionos.co.uk. Even this is, I was reading this story this morning, and I was thinking, I can't believe they did this to a Dutch journalist. Then I saw that name, I was like, wait, I know her. I can't believe this. So I just want, look, I just want to read you back, back to you, the letter that you received from the British government to confirm that you actually received this. It's to you, and it says your UK visa, basically, has been canceled. This means you cannot travel to the UK without a visa. This is because I'm quoting, this is because your presence in the UK is not considered to be productive to the public good. You cannot appeal this decision. Did you actually receive that letter? I did, and relatively out of the blue, too. I mean, I was going through my emails yesterday and I saw this subject line saying that they changed something to my eta application. I was like, what is this? I didn't apply for an eta. I'm not planning on traveling to the UK right now. So I just opened it. And I saw this very, I mean, you have the email. It's a very short, simple email. And it just said, we revoked your ETA because we consider you not conducive to the public good and you have no right to appeal by. That was it. And so I was like, what? What? What is this? And then I started thinking, like, what could this be? Why are they sending us to me now? And then I realized that I criticized Kira Starmur a couple of days earlier on X. Well, so I'm going to read you the quote. I think I have it in front. You described Starmur, who's the prime minister of the country, the elected official, as an evil, despicable man for allowing the ongoing rape and killing of British girls by a migrant rape gang. So guilty as charged. You're making a political point, an entirely defensible political point. And you believe that because you said that, you're now banned from the country. I really don't see any other reason as to why they otherwise would have done this right now. As I said, I, you know, I applied for this electronic travel authorization back in September, because I went and spoke at the United Kingdom rally organized by Tommy Robinson. And I spoke about remigration and the need for that. And, you know, now because of Brexit, Europeans have to apply for an ETA as when we go to America, we have to apply for an S-ta, right? And this was approved back in September within minutes. Like I just got it. No problems. No questions asked. And now out of the blue, as I said, I received that email saying they were voced. And I'm not, you know, I'm not traveling to the United Kingdom anytime soon. I didn't book any tickets, you know, to fly there. So the only thing that I could think about was that I said what I said about Kierstarmher, I still stand by it, by the way, just three days before they informed me of that decision. So I mean, it's really hard not to connect the dots there. And it's also very much in line with his track record. And I suppose it proves my point, you know, that the UK is on a path to become a very unfree country where dissident voices are criticized, people are thrown in jail. And obviously I'm not a citizen of the United Kingdom. So they can't do that to me. But this is something that they can do apparently. The continent is descending into darkness once again, clearly. What do you think big picture this tells us about what's happening in Europe and the UK specifically? I mean, in the UK, this is the definition of, to a totalitarian state, right? This is the definition of a dictatorship in a sense that you are apparently not allowed to criticize its supreme leader without having your freedoms limited. And this is quite a severe limitation of my freedom in a sense that I was given no due process. I was not given a warning. I have no right to appeal. That's what it stated in the email for the crime, quote unquote, of giving my opinion. And so that is bad, you know, that is not, that's not a normal way for things to happen in so-called free societies. So, you know, no matter what you think my opinions are, if they're right, wrong, radical, not radical, should it be a ground for a government to say to a woman with no criminal record, whatsoever, who wants to visit a country for, you know, just a couple of days, once a year maybe, tops, to say, no, you're not allowed, but you're not allowed to be a government that's not allowed. But we are going to allow thousands of illegal immigrants to cross the channel every day and enter the UK. And nobody's asking them anything, you know, they're not even, they're not asking their passport, so let alone whether they're asking if they're conducive to the public good. I mean, that is, that isn't incredibly dystopian thing to read since when it's being conducive to the public good, a requirement to enter a country, and also who decides that. And why do I have no right to appeal? You know, those are serious things in countries that claim to uphold the rule of law, that claim to be the democracies. And I guess we already knew, you know, that those were, let's say, illusions in our countries at this point. But to have it, you know, happen to you in such a personal manner, like, yeah, I now realize that I cannot go and visit many of my friends. I can't go to the next rally, which is planned for May. I cannot set foot in a country that I otherwise love. You know, I don't love the establishment, but I love the people, and I would have loved to go there again. And of course, the UK arrests far more people every year for criticizing the British government than Putin has arrested for criticizing him, where the Saudis have arrested for criticizing MBS. I mean, it's not just repressive, it's far more repressive than countries we are told are authoritarian or totalitarian. I mean, it's worse. Absolutely, I totally agree. And the same thing is happening on the continent in Europe, by the way. I mean, good that you bring up Russia, because I don't know. I think not many people are aware of this, but something incredible happened here just a month ago, where the European Union put out sanctions, like restrictive measures, and placed them on European citizens, who they claim, and I quote, were distributed thing or manipulating false information. So they were saying that these citizens were destabilizing Ukraine on behalf of the Russian government, that's at least their claim, by manipulating information in the European Union. But as far as I know, Ukraine is not a member of the European Union. So why would they feel the need to protect the stability of that nation? And second of all, those people just received, again, just like me, they just received that decision by the European Union. And what happened to them is far worse than what happened to me, because they froze their assets, and they said you are not allowed to travel. And this was a decision made by the European Council, no due process, no court order, no fair trial, nothing. So the European Union is doing that to its own citizens under the pretext of, you know, sanctioning Russia. But these are individuals. These are people whose lives have been destroyed. And it's not getting any media attention whatsoever. But this happened just a month ago. So, you know, there is clearly an increasing totalitarian wind blowing through this continent. And well, apart from this travel ban, I've also personally fallen victim to it just last year, receiving a notification from Apple saying that my phone is under mercenary spyware attack. So, you know, you see, there is a trend here. We have governments, we don't know exactly which one, or the EU, freezing assets of citizens looking at me and you probably, as we speak through this phone right now. Again, that is not what is supposed to happen in democratic societies, especially not when those people doing it are the ones who constantly trumpet that. So, it's pretty bad over here. I'm really actually very concerned as to where this is heading. Well, 2026 is likely to be the year that some companies will find patriotism and will discover it. During the Biden years, corporate America thought hating our country was the thing to do, so they did it. Now, there were in a new era, they are coming back to reality. It's not real though, it's a trick. They don't mean it at all. Black Rifle means it, and they've been doing it since day one. Not just discovering patriotism, they were founded on the premise. As this country celebrates 250 years of existence, Black Rifle is brewing bold American roasted beans built for people who believe in the values that made America great. So, kick off 2026 with roast made for patriotism not spectators. And for the new year, Black Rifle is launching cold brew coffee cans in just black and vanilla. Powerful smooth and made in America. Want something even more explosive? Try grape X or tiger strike? Woo! Their new zero sugar energy drinks with 200 milligrams of caffeine. That's about half the output of a nuclear power plant.

So, most people don't wake up in the morning and decide to feel horrible, exhausted, foggy, disconnected from themselves. But it does happen and it happens slowly. You're working hard, you're showing up, and your energy disappears by midday, your focus is dull, your weight won't move, a lot of people are told that's just getting old. That's what it is, but that's not actually true. For many men and women, these are not personal affairs. They are signals tied to your metabolism, your hormones, and nutrient in balances that go undetected for years. You don't even know, you're deficient.

And we're in the very infancy of AI, super computing, the ability of governments to actually control their populations at the level of the individual, in a way that no government has ever been capable of doing. And so if you marry bad intent to increase capacity for repression, you could wind up with an open air prison camp, the size of a continent, very quickly. Yeah, well, that's exactly what is happening now to just a few individuals, but we don't know how fast this will happen to the entire continent. Maybe you guys have heard of the chat control proposal, right, that the EU wanted to enforce, which got shut down, but now they're trying it through another back door again. They they want to basically be able to read all of our messages under the guise of preventing, you know, child pornography, et cetera, from being spread. So they want to use, yeah, I mean, it's funny. They're really worried about with the most Epstein's friends are really worried about child pornography. Okay. Right, right. So, but AI is going to be used to do that. They are going to be scanning our messages to see if any of that material is being spread, or at least that's what they say, you know, but it means that these unelected bureaucrats are reading all of your messages, essentially, have access to all of your messages. I don't know when people are going to wake up to all of these pretexts, right, that are always being given, just like Kiery Starmer last week said that he wanted to ban X because of women's safety concerns, because women's safety. Because making those bikini edits. Yeah, women's safety. But I mean, do we have to talk to the man about the Rotterdam rapes and stuff? You know, like it's honestly, it's laughable, but it's it has real life consequences for real life people. And I think what you said about Europe turning into an open air prison is, is, is just right. That's exactly what is happening. But how do you escape that? That's, that's the question that we all have. How do you unelect people that you've never elected in the first place? You know, how do you, how do you get your rights back when it's just presented to you that someone has taken away, that I'm away from you and they've granted themselves that power because that is exactly what happens here. And people feel defenseless in the face of it. So what are the, what are the rules for speech in Europe if we could get specific about this? Because I think it helps to understand why it's happening, who's doing it, if we understand what you're not allowed to say. So what are you not allowed to say in Europe right now? Well, essentially, you are not allowed really to criticize the establishment. You are not, especially not allowed to talk about the replacement migration going on in Europe. If you say, look, we are soon white people, the native people of Europe are soon becoming a minority in our, in their own home lands, which is factually true. Like before the end of the century, that's the case in most European countries, even before the end of the first half of the century, actually. If you say that, they're going to slap you with a, with a hate speech crime. They're going to say that that is hateful, hateful language, inflicting racial hatred, et cetera. So that, that seems to be the common denominator, especially talking about immigration and the effects of that, linking it to crime, which is obvious. You know, you only need your, your two eyes to know that that is the case. That's something that really seems to bother them. So who is them? I mean, so clearly there is a very well organized, very well funded effort to eliminate the white population of Europe. I mean, because it is being eliminated and you're allowed to notice it, you'll be punished by police and courts you pay for. If you notice what's happening to your ancestors, home lands. So that's all just true. What? That's right. Like, who is pushing this? It's the question of all questions, right? But it seems that all of these leaders that we have, be it Kierstormer, be it Ursula von der Leyen, be it Merz in Germany, be it McCull, they all follow the same playbook, they all say the same things, literally post the same things, you know, in their communications to the outside world. They might focus on slightly different subjects here and there, but the agenda is the same everywhere. And it's the erosion, essentially, of our, of our borders of our nation states, of our heritage. I don't have to tell you or your audience that we all know it. The question is, who's behind it? Honestly, you know, I don't know. I can't answer that question. But what I can tell you is that the people who are rolling out these, these agendas are doing it out in the open in front of our faces and they keep getting re-elected. So I, you know, I have made it my mission, at least to talk about those people and target them specifically because they are the ones that are in front of us, you know, rolling this out over and over and over again. But it's very difficult to say. So I don't know that much about Mertz. I don't know Macron. His reputation is smart, clever and cunning as skilled politically. But I know a fair amount about Kierstarmher and you will never convince me, at gunpoint even, that Kierstarmher is making independent decisions about the future of Britain. You can't convince me that. He's not adequate as a leader of a nation. He just doesn't have the basic qualities. He is taking orders that could not be clearer. And I think it's clear to the British population. But you don't know who's giving those orders. No, I mean, I don't know who's giving those orders. I think if we would know, you know, it would be easier to stop this from happening, right? But that is, I think, part of the agenda is that we don't exactly quite know who's behind this. Of course, we're fighting a very pure credit system also in Europe. There are in the European Union, like, tons of high government officials whom we don't even know by name, yet have billions and billions of euros at their disposal to roll out in the agenda that goes against our interests that literally wants to replace us. It's crumbling our economy. And it's essentially just destroying this continent. So I mean, I've heard people say before that this is all part of Fifth Generation Warfare that it's part of the game that you don't know exactly who your enemy is. And I think they want to keep it that way. But once again, you know, it doesn't stop us from saying these people that we do see on television every day are bad. They're evil. Yes, that's correct. We need them out of office because that gives people at least, you know, some sort of action that they can take, even already that is difficult. And that's something that I hate to say. But in Europe, the majority still of your average Dutchman, your average Frenchman is not even aware of that. So we have a lot of work to do in that respect. I think you make a really wise point. It doesn't matter whether they're the prison guard or the warden. They're still participating in an indefensible system hurting and killing people. And that's evil. So like, I guess that's all we really need to know. But it is frustrating when you see a coordinated effort like the one underway to eliminate white people. It's the biggest thing that's happening in our lifetimes. Very. And especially if you can't speak about it. Without running the risk of being thrown in jail. Might I add that to what I just told you, right? And as a, and let's say in addition to the answers that I'm giving you here is that we in Europe run the risk of being thrown in jail. When we talk about this to the burly, I want the American audience to understand that there are certain things that we really cannot say. So, you know, that is very different. There is no first amendment here. And we definitely do not have a second amendment to support it. So that makes our situation, you know, considerably different, especially for political commentators, journalists. It is, it is really more challenging, let's say, especially when you have a family that you want to protect as well. It seems to me the final piece that control grid would be digital currencies because at that point, of course, they can starve you to death if you get out of line. How long before that arrives? Not long the European Union is working on their digital euro has been for a while. And I think they're planning to roll it out this year, actually, or maybe beginning of 2027. So once that hits, same story, of course, they say that it's all voluntary that you don't have to use it. But it's just a matter of time till they do. You know, we see through the stories. But yes, that is, of course, going to be the final instrument that they can use to control the entire population. But as I said, they're already freezing the bank accounts of people who they deem to be benefiting Russia. Right? With giving their opinion journalists who are writing about their opinions concerning the conflict. So they don't know that they're going to be the final instrument that they can use to control the entire population. They're going to be able to do it in a conflict. So they don't necessarily need CBCs to do incredibly unlawful things and say that they do it in order to protect stability and democracy. For years you've been told this is not happening, and you're a bigot for thinking it is, Mass migration is reshaping the West completely. It's not a conspiracy theory. It's a fact different people live here now. Again, it's not a theory, it's the biggest fact of this or any generation in a thousand years. The replacement is real. European governments aren't just tolerating mass migration, they're encouraging it, they're funding it, they hate their populations and they want new populations. We've got any documentary on this called Replacing Europe. Following the world's deadliest migration route, our filmmakers follow what nobody wants you to see. Specifically with migrants, locals, officials who admit what the public is never told. It's not ideological, it's reality. This is happening, it's destroying the West and our cameras caught it.

Are people getting, do they understand what's happening? Do they care? Is there any meaningful pushback on a mass scale? You know, I think we need to have all eyes on Germany. I think what is going to happen there with the elections, whether AFD is going to become, end up becoming the biggest party, that is going to make a huge difference in terms of our future. When we're talking revolution or uproar, I can't even really talk about revolution because before I know it, you would have a police officer sending in front of your door saying that you're inciting that. So I'm not for the record. I really don't know whether that is, whether they're there yet. I think that that is part of the problem is that there are still large, large parts of the population in Europe that is just not aware, especially if they're not on X, if they're not following alternative media. You know, I don't mean to say that Fox News is a very truth telling right wing news channel, but we don't even have anything like that. You know, you're not even close to that in, let's say, the Netherlands where I'm from. The mainstream media is just left wing. So if that is what you're consuming all day every day, you know, you don't see a problem in this. You don't see that people are being thrown in jail in the UK for expressing their opinions. Like those types of news stories just don't reach a large part of the population. So I don't know if we're close to that yet. I do think that there is a big sentiment that is growing that this cannot go on the way that it has. The European Union, especially has taken too much power, has granted itself too much power. And I do feel that they're going to be cracks, let's say, in that foundation in the next couple of years. But who knows, Tucker, I don't know if it's going to be fast enough, you know, like when we're looking at our demographic change, at a certain point when you become totally outnumbered, you become minorities, I don't want to say it's over because it's never over. But it's going to be very difficult for us to reverse that. Yeah, I believe that. Keep in mind though that the UK left the vote to leave the European Union 10 years ago in 2016, Brexit. And it's more repressive than it's ever been. And it does seem more in line with more in coordination with the EU than it was 10 years ago. So you sort of wonder, like, maybe there are deeper forces at work here than just the horrible anti-human bureaucracy and Brussels. Yeah, exactly. I think that that is a really good argument to say that there is more sinister global agenda going on here. Same thing in my country, back into Netherlands, we keep on electing people that, you know, destroy our country. And I really don't know who votes for them. I honestly wonder, you know, when you talk to people on the streets, they're not saying that they want those things. They're not saying that they want replacement migration. They're not saying that they want a digital euro. Nobody's saying those things yet. They're constantly being pushed down our throats, all of those agenda points. So yeah, I agree with you. It's too much in sync everywhere to not see that pattern. Of course. And do you, in the United States, you're seeing everywhere signs of spiritual renewal, Christian religious revival? Are you, are you sensing that in Europe since you live there? Not nearly as much as I would like to know. As fat Europe is a highly, highly secularized continent, especially North Western Europe. So for context, it was like, when I started doing commentary for a more American audience, you know, I noticed and involved myself more in American politics. I really noticed how often people talk about their faith in God, how often he is mentioned and how often they speak about Jesus also in political discourse. Now you can have your opinions about that, whether it's always genuine or not, but he's mentioned here. If you do that in Europe, you get ridiculed. You get ridiculed. People will look at you funny. You know, I grew up in a country where if you said you were a Christian, people would immediately say, how is that possible? Don't you have a university education? Like, that's so stupid. Like how do you, how come that you believe in a fairy tale? That is like the status quo in my country. And I think that, that also explains why we've gone down the deep end as far as we have. People don't recognize even, you know, they don't recognize the idea or the concept of good and evil. So if you don't see that, if you don't believe that God exists, if you don't believe that good exists, then you don't believe that evil exists. And so you will just always write it off as incompetence at best. Or you'll say, no, that's just a different viewpoint or everything is relative. And that's exactly what has gotten us, what has gotten us where we are today. Yeah, I was about to ask, like, how's that worked out for the Netherlands? Pretty, pretty well, pretty great mocking God, like good long-term strategy. Exactly. I mean, the country is on a great path, isn't it? So indeed, really, really bad long-term strategy, but also really, really bad short-term strategy. Because people aren't happy. You know, young people aren't fulfilled. They don't know what to do with their lives. They lack purpose, they lack meaning. Of course, of course you do. So it's both bad in the long run and in the short run. But it's very much, it's very much the case. I mean, I conferred it to Catholicism a couple of years ago personally in the UK, by the way, where I now can't go. Yeah, great. But only 2.7 percent, for example, the Dutch population is a practicing Catholic. In the Netherlands, it's half half. You have like 50 percent in name, at least it's Protestant, 50 percent is Catholic. And only 2.7 percent is practicing. That tells you the situation of my homeland. So my last question is about you, you live in Europe, you have a family in Europe, you are European. Can you stay? Do you plan to stay? I have to stay. This is my home. You know, I'm Dutch. I'm married to an Italian or a young boy. He's 13 months old now. He's both obviously. This is my home. Unless, you know, I don't want to spend my days in a prison cell because I will be good to no one. And I'm genuinely fearful that that is where we are heading, that that's what they will do to people like me who voice the things that I think. But as long as I have, you know, I will do everything in my power to avoid that from happening because I really do still have hope. You know, I really do think that we should all have hope even though it looks bleak for us. Because if you lose the hope, you know, there's no point in fighting. And that's the last thing that I want because I think it's the first thing that our establishment wants is for people here to become demoralized to say things like, oh, it's just over for Europe.

That is, if you know, that's, that's worth fighting for, I would say. Even if I were doing a broke, thank you. And Godspeed. Thank you, Tugarm. Thank you. Thank you.
