I feel like good interviewers can usually hide their contempt a little better than this. Asking tough questions without an accusatory tone can make them tougher. But when the interviewer gets a little wound up and the interviewee is calm as can be, credibility can become shaky. And whatever you may think of Gerry, you ought to know he's much too slick for that, and has been spending the last half century fielding questions like this.
Murphy kid Gerry can keep his cool . The people that actually said he was in Ira are grand parents or dead. Now when their grand kids ask Gerry this question he will field it cool as a cucumber. Quite a man . he can keep his own.
The best interview I’ve seen yet of Adams was RTE Primetime … Miriam O’Callaghan .. he was squirming.. she got right in to him, the interview here was a walk in the park for him.. she continuously addressed him “Gerry Adams”through out the entire interview. . she didn’t allow his usual talk over the top of the interview and ignore the real question.. it was great watching him desperately try get on the right side of her lol he couldn’t and she threw the book at him, no one can accuse her of being anti Irish .. good job Miriam 👍
Adams was a Brigade commander in Belfast in the early 70's and then became Chief of Staff. When I was over there in '94 he was part of the 7 man Army Council.
@@slowdivebreeze1 why do you reckon he is adamant in denying this? Would he have too much to answer for ? I mean regarding the law…is he afraid he’d be jailed …or is it just bc he’s so smug at getting away without admitting it,
@@bellascott6478 because it may prompt too many awkward questions regarding the disappeared from the 70’s from his own community. He could never be jailed but maybe seen as complicit by the legal system so is easier for him to deny everything as mafias do.
I met Gerry Adams in 2003 in Dublin at a book signing. Any man that chooses peace over a war is a good man. A tough guy that built the bridge to peace.
As a Brit, i feel history need to show how important JA was to the peace program. If he was IRA or not is unimportant, however i do believe he had the ear of the IRA and was a steadying factor in controlling them to some degree. The fact is, he's a statesman and there are very few of them about nowadays, certainly not in the house of commons.
Man in a state. Never have murdering scum as statesman but guess your thinking that other Propaghanda Crook zelensky.. Strange Adams stood down when bro peado info got out..

I’m an ex British soldier , and always believed PIRA were evil men and women who killed kids ordinary civilians and needed stopping no matter what !! But now after having been to Northern Ireland and have friends there on both divides , I now believe that these men and women ! Fought for catholics who couldn’t get houses jobs basically they were treated as second class citizens, they were having there houses ransacked by army and police and there is always two sides to any situation! Lots of atrocities have been committed by all sides ! And depending on where your moral compass is the IRA were either terrorists or freedom fighters! But regardless of history on both sides hopefully now and the future can all people in Northern Ireland live together in peace !! Look to the future but always learn from the past !
That's fair enough ! Now ask yourself this question if you were born into ulster as a Irish man in 1970 what would you have done ! The simple truth is the Irish population in ulster had no option but to bring the war to the British state . All wars and deaths in Ireland are from the British state unwanted involvement in Ireland for hundreds of years the damage done is going to take a long time to repair .

Oh, absolutely, Gerry Adams' views on everything from violence to Irish unity are just a model of clarity and consistency. It's truly impressive how he managed to navigate decades of political turmoil while leaving everyone with absolutely no room for doubt.
Go watch the Miriam O’CALLAGHAN interview on primetime RTE and watch him squirm.. Best interview I’ve ever seen him get..brilliant… she didn’t allow the nonsense of talking over the top of the interview.. and evading the questions, didn’t allow the IRA propaganda that he usually gets away with…the interview above was a walk in the park compared to Miriam ..lol…

The interviewer is, as he always is, terrific. He is hugely knowledgeable and confrontational when that's appropriate. Interviewing politicians isn't about swapping souflé recipes, it's surely about delving and trying to find out stuff. I thought Andrew Marr was perfectly respectful here...I've no idea why you took exception. I'm sure GA found the lines of questioning acceptable.
@Bear Grylls Da fuck? The first bomb planted,first civilian killed,first policeman and soldier killed,was done by a loyalist. Why do you think the LVF rarely operated in the south? Because the protestants there,needed no protection from the catholics. The British Army was sent in to protect catholics from sadistic loyalist death squads.Think about that. You people want to start the clock at when the IRA fought BACK,and ignore the murder and mayhem that caused it. No,Queen Elizabeth has the most blood on her hands.She was/is the commander in chief of the British Army,who colluded with loyalists to murder catholics, unimpeded for decades, before Adams was even near the IRA. God,imagine if France invades and occupy's your country,murders and maims English people for 50 years,takes away democracy and rights to a trial,join the police etc...what would you do? Sit idle? Or pick up arms to defend your people? Fuck sake,I wouldn't call any Englishman a terrorist for defending his own people,in his own country,yet when English people do the above,suddenly the natives are terrorists for fighting back.
Mad, as an 8 year old British kid, with a British army dad and a British army grandad, and my heart filled with being a British army soldier myself!

@@TransoceanicOutreach Arra you know fuck all. The Provisional Irish Republican Army would never have existed if the Unionist side of N.I had treated the Catholic/Nationalist side fairly. If only they had given fair access to jobs, housing and education. Instead, with the backing of Westminster, they treated our side as bad as a black person was treated in Alabama in the 1950s. Thankfully the evil British empire is no more. The heartless Tories are on their last legs. The English entitled class have exposed themselves as the racist, bigoted scum which they are and the Orange Unionists are doing their best to return to the 17th century where they belong. Gerry Adams is a hero!
Yes, and non-violence. The hunger strike and the financial bombings of the 90s (debatable if the latter is truly non-violent I suppose) did more for the Republican cause than all of the targeted killings and bombings ever did.
@@luigivincenzo9731 True but the existence of a paramilitary wing was necessary in the north at that time, bad actions aside. but the existence of the IRA was needed for resistance
Adams & McGuiness experienced a long & bitter journey fighting against the British state. They came out of that traumatic experience as very capable & respected people. I am saying this as an ex-Brit soldier. So sad, there are not big enough people to take their places from both sides at this moment.

There has to be a border poll first. Then a referendum. Sinn Fein want a border poll, but that DUP pig foster won't. Catholics increasing in population ever day. A United Ireland will happen sooner or later.
I think Marr is interrupting a little too much. He should cool down and let his guests finish talking. And like Gerry says, he does try to put some words in his mouth also. A real pro interviewer could have gotten so much more out Adams, hence he seems ready to talk, so just make him feel comfortable and let the viewers pass any moral judgments.

Marxist Sinn Fein often like to go back many centuries. If you want to go back as far as the 11th century you'll know that Ireland was NEVER "invaded" without invitation that the history books like to forget. A Gaelic KING in Ireland felt betrayed by the Pope, that king invited an army from Britain to get what he saw as his kingdom back and under his rule. And I wonder what the Native Americans felt about their continent on the East Coast being colonised by so many Irish people...
@@richardjames8322 so ur saying england never colonised Ireland. Get real. 800 years of colonialism. Is not made up. Britain out of The north of Ireland now. A united Ireland is coming soon. 💚🇮🇪
Interviewer: How much does the Brexit help your 'ideal' of a united Ireland?" Gerry Adams: "Brexit is disastrous for the people of Ireland..." Unfortunately this is true for anyone green, orange or whatever...6 counties and/or south
"Fitzgerald", you're not a very good liar. We real Englishmen support our brothers in Ulster. There has never been a united Ireland, and there NEVER will be.
@The Pied Piper If nobody owns anything, then why you crying about wanting a "united Ireland" for, son? You do realise support for a united Ireland is not even that large even among the catholics? Now, as far as I can see it, what still exists of your republican movement; is nothing but a Marxist front, that wants to replace the Irish people with immigrants - 'Brits out! Africans in!'
Not the same men, but good men also, better men to know how their forefathers struggled. Ireland is not lost. it is right here beneath our feet, it's only the people of the land that are lost.

Born and raised in Sweden, at a safe distance from Ireland. To me, Gerry Adams comes through as an honest man who talks straight. And as a keen observer of body language, I think it is very obvious that he is telling the truth. Why is it so hard to understand that the IRA might have respected him big time and listened to his advice, whitout him being a member? Why is so hard for some accept that it is very possible to be a Republican, defend IRA's war against the Brittish Army, but condemn IRA's killing of innocent? Do people have a need to see everything in black or white?
I'm on the same page as you, really. The IRA fucked up an awful lot and their actions need to be unequivocally condemned - but I'm still gonna take an extreme position and praise their defence of native republicans that were STRUCTURALLY discriminated against and harassed by the British Army. I only disagree with Adams on one thing - Brexit. I think Brexit will do Ireland and the UK the world of good since the UK can coordinate their own decisions and join EU free trade agreements.
Geezus, you don't really have a clue do you? There was no British army to "harass" Irish natinalists before 1969. The Irish begged the British government to send in the troops because they had antagonised the unionists so much that they were about to get there asses kicked out of NI for good. Nationalist were discriminated against, and for good reason. They could not be trusted not to bite the hand that fed them! Would you employ someone who was an enemy of your country and sought to destroy it?
You think he's telling the truth? Maybe, but why was he filmed wearing IR dress at a funeral many years ago? Was he just playing soldier? Perhaps he thinks he didn't really join because he had his fingers crossed behind his back when he took his oath;-)
The IRA weren't the bad guys ffs. Is it so hard to grasp? If Muslims took over your country and a group of you fought back would they be considered terrorists? Propaganda is a powerful thing. Imagine your own army being told they were terrorists by a foreign force
there's no such position as "Commander in Chief" of the 'RA. Classic piece of Anglo self-dramatisation - our enemies are always BIGGER than us. I doubt if the PIRA had as many as 100 effective Volunteers at any one time. There was also the OIRA and the INLA.
@@seanmcgouran4091 There's always been a chief of staff, there's always been a leadership. Someone had the job. If it wasn't Gerry Adams, it was someone Gerry Adams knew well and coordinated with.
Gurp Preet The problem is more than half of NI votes to still be apart of the UK when the other half wants to leave, I want to leave I hate the Brit’s that they took 6 counties
The problem is 1m Protestants in the North dont want a United Ireland. Probably a large portion of people in the South of Ireland dont really want to be United with the North either. This isn't Sesame Street where all the neighbours get along. North Americans have no idea about Ireland even though they love to tell you their family came from there ten generations ago and they still consider themselves Irish. To be honest there is only one other group that the Northern Loyalists and Southern Republican Irish hate more than each other and that's dippy plastic paddys from North America......
@@auxrora6398 I think you will also find that your hate of the Brits is reciprocated by loyalists hate of the Irish and that's why there was murder and mayhem for 30 years. If you keep using the word hate you leave no room for love. Even if the British relinquished their sovereignty over the North the protestants will simply go to war with Dublin. Add to the mix that Dublin doesnt want the North then you can see that the status quo there at the minute is probably as good as it will get.
How Marr can be so judgmental when he’s a member of the British establishment is hilarious! As if Britain hasn’t murdered, tortured, and imprisoned people the world over. I wish Marr would treat UK politicians with equal moral focus.
