Added: Aug 23, 2024

In this podcast episode, Patrick Bet-David interviews Dominik Tarczynski, a prominent Polish politician, who discusses a range of pressing topics including Poland's low Muslim population, the country's strict immigration policies, the impact of corruption in Ukraine and the EU, and the significance of Christianity in European identity. Tarczynski also shares his views on the influence of figures like Donald Trump and George Soros, the challenges facing European conservatism, and the ongoing tensions between Russia and Ukraine.

Muslim Population in Poland

Poland is one of the lowest Muslim population countries in Europe, with a Muslim population of approximately 0.1%. Tarczynski emphasizes that Poland has not accepted any illegal Muslim migrants, stating, "not even one illegal will come to Poland." He asserts that the Polish government has maintained a strict policy against illegal immigration, which he believes contributes to the country's safety and low crime rates. He mentions that Poland has taken in over 2 million Ukrainians who are peaceful and working in the country, contrasting this with the refusal to accept Muslim migrants.

Islamophobia and Terrorism

The guest addresses accusations of Islamophobia, clarifying that his stance is based on facts rather than prejudice. He acknowledges that while not every Muslim is a terrorist, "most of the terrorists are Muslims," which he considers a fact. Tarczynski expresses concern over the rise of radical Islam and the potential for violence, stating that the mentality of revenge and violence is prevalent in some segments of the Muslim community. He highlights a video where a Muslim individual claims they will take over a country by the number of children they have, which he interprets as a threat.

Poland's Immigration Policy

Poland's immigration policy is characterized by a zero-tolerance approach to illegal migration. Tarczynski explains that the government has built a wall to prevent illegal crossings and has passed laws allowing the use of live ammunition against those attempting to enter the country illegally. He emphasizes that the Polish government prioritizes the safety of its citizens and has no intention of allowing illegal migrants to enter. The policy is framed as a protective measure for Polish families and the nation as a whole.

European Union Dynamics

In the context of the European Union, Tarczynski discusses the tensions between Poland and other EU member states regarding immigration policies. He notes that the EU has pressured Poland to accept migrants, threatening financial penalties for non-compliance. Despite this, he asserts that Poland would rather pay fines than compromise its immigration policy. The guest expresses a desire for the European Union to return to its Christian roots and to resist the influence of leftist ideologies. He believes that the current leadership in the EU, particularly from Germany, is out of touch with the realities faced by countries like Poland.

Tarczynski also mentions the corruption scandal involving Qatar, where members of the European Parliament were allegedly bribed to promote a favorable image of Qatar. He connects this to the broader issues of governance and accountability within the EU, suggesting that the political landscape is influenced by financial interests rather than the welfare of member states.

Corruption in Ukraine

Corruption in Ukraine is a significant issue that persists even during the ongoing war. Tarczynski highlights that many people are aware of the corruption, which undermines the efforts of those genuinely in need. He recounts a visit to Ukraine where he spoke with a law professor who expressed that it is impossible to stop corruption, indicating a deeply entrenched mindset. Despite the war, reports of corruption continue to emerge, leading to frustration among those who support Ukraine.

The Role of Donald Trump

Tarczynski emphasizes the importance of Donald Trump in the current political landscape. He believes that if Trump wins the upcoming election, there is a chance to return to normality. He argues that whatever happens in America tends to influence Europe within six months. He expresses a strong desire to support Trump’s campaign, stating that he is in the United States to help mobilize the Polish community in favor of Trump. The belief is that a Trump victory would have positive implications for Western civilization.

Historical Context of Communism in Poland

Having been born in 1979, Tarczynski recalls the impact of communism in Poland, which lasted until 1989. He remembers the queues for basic necessities, such as shoes and food, illustrating the hardships faced during that era. The experience of living under communism shapes his perspective on freedom and governance. He expresses pride in Poland's transition from communism to a democratic society, emphasizing the importance of fighting against any form of tyranny.

North Stream Pipeline Sabotage

The North Stream pipeline, a significant energy conduit between Russia and Europe, becomes a focal point of discussion regarding its sabotage. Tarczynski mentions that the pipeline is a weapon used by Russia to exert influence over Europe. He expresses relief that North Stream 2 does not exist, as it would have provided funds to the Russian army, thereby increasing the threat to Poland and other neighboring countries. The sabotage of the pipeline is attributed to a Ukrainian operation, which reportedly cost around $300,000 and involved a small rented yacht with a crew. Tarczynski notes that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky initially approved the plan but later attempted to call it off after the CIA learned of it. The operation is characterized as one of the most audacious acts of sabotage in modern history, raising questions about the motivations behind it.

Influence of George Soros

Soros is identified as a significant figure in the discussion of political corruption and influence. Tarczynski describes him as an evil person, highlighting his history of selling people during the war and his current role in supporting radical leftism. He connects Soros to the broader agenda of undermining Christianity and traditional values in Europe. The influence of Soros is seen as part of a larger effort to promote ideologies that Tarczynski believes are detrimental to society.

Relationship Between Russia and Ukraine

Tarczynski asserts that Putin's motivations for attacking Ukraine stem from a desire to rebuild the Soviet Union. He emphasizes that Ukraine, as a neighboring country, has the right to decide its future, including its aspirations to join NATO and the European Union. The ongoing war is characterized as a means for Russia to keep Ukraine from aligning with Western powers.

The State of LGBTQ Rights in Poland

In Poland, the approach to LGBTQ rights is characterized by a clear stance against the inclusion of LGBTQ ideology in schools. Tarczynski articulates that while individuals are free to live as they choose, there is a firm boundary regarding the influence of LGBTQ issues on children. He states, "do not come to our kids," indicating a protective attitude towards the educational system. There are no specific laws prohibiting LGBTQ individuals from living freely, but the prevailing sentiment is one of resistance to LGBTQ activism in educational contexts.

The Future of European Conservatism

European conservatism faces challenges, particularly from leftist ideologies and the push for progressive policies within the EU. Tarczynski believes that Poland represents a stronghold for conservative values and Christianity in Europe. He expresses a desire to fight for a return to traditional values and the roots of European civilization, which he associates with Roman law, Greek philosophy, and Christianity. The future of conservatism in Europe, according to Tarczynski, hinges on the ability of conservative politicians to stand firm against leftist ideologies and to advocate for the preservation of cultural and religious identities.
