Tuesday this week Éric Zemmour announced that he will be a candidate for President of France in their election next April.
I first heard about Zemmour last month, from a francophone friend whose political sympathies match closely with my own. Zemmour is, my friend told me, a National Conservative such as we Americans can only dream of.
Not being much concerned about French affairs, I did not give Zemmour much thought. Then this afternoon, Friday afternoon, as I was setting up to record the podcast, my friend sent me a ten-minute YouTube clip of Monsieur Zemmour announcing his candidacy. It was one of the most stirring and eloquent political speeches I have ever heard.
Listeners, I urge you to watch that speech. Zemmour speaks in French of course, but there are running English subtitles. Just click "Watch On YouTube" — the YouTube corporation, in its censorious way, doesn’t think National Conservative politics are suitable for children.
It’s ten minutes and it’s simply brilliant. If there is anyone as smart, well-spoken, fearless, and patriotic as Monsieur Zemmour in American public life, I urge him to step forward and offer himself to voters for 2024.
