We were with the German police 6 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:33,280 Speaker 1: as they conducted early morning raids on citizens who had 7 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 1: been accused of hate speech, threats and inciting violence online. 8 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:38,840 Speaker 3: In the United States. 9 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:40,440 Speaker 1: A lot of people look at this and say, this 10 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 1: is restricting free speech. 11 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 2: It's a threat to democracy. 12 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 4: Free speech meets boundaries. 13 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 2: Wow, and yeah, you throw in the German accent and 14 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 2: that's really something that's from that's from sixty minutes Sunday night, 15 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 2: coming on the heels of jd Vance giving Europe a 16 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 2: lecture about censorship and be an anti free speech over 17 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 2: the weekend. 18 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:10,199 Speaker 5: And as we will discuss, the sixty minutes report was gleefully, weirdly, 19 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 5: troublingly positive about the idea of restricting free speech if 20 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 5: it's the wrong speech. Made even more notable their awful 21 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 5: attitude by the fact that it occurred on the same 22 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,199 Speaker 5: day as this clip Margaret Brennan talking to Marco Rubio on. 23 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 6: Face the Nation, he was standing in a country where 24 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 6: free speech was weaponized to kentuct a genocide, and he 25 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:36,279 Speaker 6: met with the head of a political party that has 26 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 6: far right views and some historic ties to extreme groups. 27 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,959 Speaker 5: Margaret Brennan attempting to suggest that JD. Vance shouldn't have 28 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 5: advocated free speech because free speech is what led to 29 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 5: the genocide in Germany against the Jews, which is almost 30 00:01:55,800 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 5: hilariously idiotic and so wildly inaccurate. It's barely worth the 31 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 5: time to describe how incredibly inaccurate it was free speech 32 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 5: under Hitler. When was that exactly, asks every historian on Earth. 33 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,519 Speaker 2: I know, I'm mister hyperbole, but I feel like that's 34 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 2: one of the craziest things I've ever heard. One of 35 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 2: the major Sunday Show anchors say it is Jada Advan Questionably, 36 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 2: Jade Evans was standing in Germany where the rise of 37 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 2: fascism having in a genocide and they weaponized free speech. 38 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 2: What are you talking about? Oh my god, Yeah, she's nuts. 39 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 2: I'm so lost on this. I don't understand their worldview. 40 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 2: I guess we'll learn more of this. Well I do. 41 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 5: I can describe it to you exactly. It's the lust 42 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 5: for power. If you control speech, you control everything else. 43 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 2: But how does that work in a democracy, don't you 44 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,959 Speaker 2: The other side gets to do it too when they're 45 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 2: in charge. Again. 46 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 5: I hate even going to that argument because then it 47 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 5: makes it a conditional thing. Well, for practical reasons, I 48 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 5: guess you're right. I won't limit free speech. I don't 49 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:15,079 Speaker 5: even want to go there, right, It's horrific, horrific, and 50 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,359 Speaker 5: how you get there in a democracy. The other thing 51 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 5: is you declare an emergency. Happens all the time both parties. 52 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 5: This is Trump's doing it right now, and I don't 53 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 5: approve of it. There are half a dozen different emergencies 54 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 5: he's declared which are highly questionable for the purpose of 55 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 5: gaining emergency powers. I hate it on both sides. We 56 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 5: need to stop anyway back to sixty minutes. Do you 57 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 5: want to ring lean our way through the cliffs? Doesn't 58 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 5: really matter. We can start with eighty Michael. 59 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 1: It's six oh one on a Tuesday morning, and we 60 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 1: were with state police as they rated this apartment in 61 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 1: northwest Germany. 62 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 4: Just to put it inside them at the moment hum 63 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 4: of the. 64 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: Eden inside, six armed officers searched to suspects home, then 65 00:03:55,320 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 1: seized his laptop and sell phone. Prosecutors say those electronics 66 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: may have been used to commit a crime, the crime 67 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: posting a racist cartoon online at the exact same time 68 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 1: across Germany, it's. 69 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 3: All the online as Unsas for Newborn hold. 70 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: More than fifty similar raids played out, part of what 71 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: prosecutors say is a coordinated effort to curb online hate 72 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 1: speech in Germany. 73 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,280 Speaker 2: And the one guy points out, maybe it will be 74 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 2: in one of these clips, the seven thousand cases or 75 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 2: something that they investigated last year. Wow, that's a lot 76 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 2: in a country much smaller than the United States. Imagine 77 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 2: what that would look like in the United States. And 78 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 2: hate speech, of course, the one of the problems with 79 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:43,159 Speaker 2: hate speech being who's determining its hate speech, who's making 80 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,479 Speaker 2: the judgment on that? Yeah, Sharon Alfonsi very helpful. 81 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 5: He just saved us the trouble and told us the 82 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 5: cartoon was racist, putting aside whether you know you should 83 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,039 Speaker 5: limit free speech on the basis of quote unquote racism anyway, 84 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 5: but yeah, what did it say? 85 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 2: In what sense? Was it racist? Who is it racist against? 86 00:04:58,400 --> 00:04:58,479 Speaker 7: What? 87 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 5: Give me the specific fixed you're asking for the right 88 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 5: to censor me, and you just say, take my word. 89 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,479 Speaker 2: It was terrible. This part is amazing. 90 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,280 Speaker 1: Wasn't the typical reaction when the police show up at 91 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 1: somebody's door and they say, hey, we will leave. 92 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 3: You wrote this on the internet, they say. 93 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,480 Speaker 8: In Germany, we say that's what my mos off, my zogenduff. 94 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,840 Speaker 8: And so we here with crimes of talking posting an 95 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 8: internet and the people are surprised that this is really 96 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,280 Speaker 8: illegal to post these kind of words. 97 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 3: They don't think it was illegal. Oh, they don't think 98 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:32,160 Speaker 3: it was illegal. 99 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 8: And they say, no, that's my free speech, and we 100 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 8: say no, yeah, free speech as well, but it also 101 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 8: has limits. 102 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,159 Speaker 2: I don't see.

Free speech has its limits, Well, then 106 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 2: it's not free speech. You just nullified the first part 107 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 2: of your sentence. What the second part of the sentence. 108 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 5: Everybody understands that there are certain limits, but they are 109 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 5: extremely limited limits. The people like this just say, hey, 110 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 5: because there are limits, there there can be more limits, 111 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,160 Speaker 5: and I will decide what limits there are. 112 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 2: Control your soul's desire for freedom.

As prosecutors 195 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: explain to us, in Germany, it's okay to debate politics online, 196 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 1: but it can be a crime to call anyone a pimle, 197 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: even a politician. So it sounds like you're saying it's 198 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:27,560 Speaker 1: okay to criticize a politician's policy, but not to say 199 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: I think you're a jerk and idiot. 200 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,080 Speaker 3: Exactly.

Here's 206 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 5: an example where I'm censoring something reasonably right, and then 207 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 5: you're supposed to extrapolate from there therefore, I trust you 208 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 5: to censor whenever you want. F you know, and you 209 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 5: are a piml a table full of pimbles, right. 210 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 2: I kept thinking that as they used various examples.

In a 343 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 5: related story, stay with US Armstrong and Getty in Munich. 344 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 3: This week, Vice President JD. 345 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 5: Vance stunned America's European allies by saying it is their 346 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:13,360 Speaker 5: governments and not Russia or China that represent the biggest 347 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 5: threat to security in the region. 348 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 10: The threat that I worry the most about visa the 349 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 10: Europe is not Russia, it's not China, it's not any 350 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:25,360 Speaker 10: other external actor. And what I worry about is the 351 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:30,480 Speaker 10: threat from within the retreat of Europe from some of 352 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:31,919 Speaker 10: its most fundamental values. 353 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, we're going to get a little more of what 354 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 2: JD said in Europe, and he is talking about this 355 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 2: free speech stuff. We're talking a lot about it this 356 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,120 Speaker 2: hour because it's well one, it's a really, really big deal, 357 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 2: and Joe and I are really into it. But I 358 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 2: continue to be shocked. We got a text from somebody 359 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,120 Speaker 2: who said, yeah, I saw the promos for sixty minutes 360 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 2: and I just assumed they were going to take a 361 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 2: somewhat adversarial approach as a news outlet to what they're 362 00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 2: doing in Germany. But no, they were cheerleaders for the 363 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 2: fact that Germany is censoring all kinds of speech, which 364 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 2: is interesting. But anyway to jd Vance's attack on Europe, 365 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 2: which the Europeans did not take well, specifically the Germans. 366 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 2: He gave the speech in Munich. This is from the 367 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:19,680 Speaker 2: Financial Times. A prominent German politician told me that was 368 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:23,880 Speaker 2: a direct assault on European democracy. The senior diplomat said, 369 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 2: it is very clear now Europe is alone. When I 370 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 2: ask him if he now regarded the US as an adversary, 371 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 2: he replied yes, the senior German diplomat Yeah, yeah. 372 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 5: More analysis of the back and forth to come. But 373 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,440 Speaker 5: let's get jd Vance in his own words. First ball, 374 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 5: flesh out the thing you already heard ninety two. 375 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,439 Speaker 10: Michael, The threat that I worry the most about visa 376 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 10: e Europe is not Russia, it's not China, it's not 377 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 10: any other external actor. And what I worry about is 378 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 10: the threat from within, the retreat of Europe from some 379 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,199 Speaker 10: of its most fundamental values, values shared with the United 380 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 10: States of America. 381 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,159 Speaker 2: Well, that just added one half a sentence. Sorry, next clip. 382 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:11,200 Speaker 10: And speaking up and expressing opinions isn't election interference, even 383 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:15,160 Speaker 10: when people express views outside your own country, and even 384 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:19,119 Speaker 10: when those people are very influential. And trust me, I 385 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,920 Speaker 10: say this with all humor. If American democracy can survive 386 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 10: ten years of Thunberg scolding you guys can survive a 387 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:33,160 Speaker 10: few months of Elon Musk. But what German democracy, what 388 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:38,200 Speaker 10: no democracy, American, German or European will survive, is telling 389 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 10: millions of voters that their thoughts and concerns, their aspirations, 390 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 10: their pleas for relief are invalid or unworthy of even 391 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:47,919 Speaker 10: being considered. 392 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 2: Yet, I remember if he said it in a speech 393 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,679 Speaker 2: or just an interviewed afterwards, the rise of some of 394 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 2: these parties on the right is because they're not getting 395 00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 2: that their voice is not heard in any way. 396 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, Indeed, that was the point I was going 397 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:03,679 Speaker 5: to get to a little more of JD. If you 398 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,200 Speaker 5: were afraid of the voices, the opinions, and the conscience 399 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 5: that guide your own people, then there's nothing America can 400 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 5: do for you. Among the problems he went on to 401 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:17,159 Speaker 5: list where governments dismissing voters concerns, shutting down their media, 402 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,919 Speaker 5: and violating the basic liberties of the religious and as 403 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 5: Jack points out, and I've said so many times, if 404 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 5: you either instill enough fear or you actually regulate it 405 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 5: to the point that your mainstream can't express what your 406 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 5: people are feeling. Parties are gonna rise up on the 407 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:42,360 Speaker 5: far right or the far left. They're gonna express those feelings, 408 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,680 Speaker 5: and people who normally wouldn't be attracted to them are 409 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,439 Speaker 5: gonna say, finally, that party speaks for me. 410 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,160 Speaker 2: I'm going with that party. Yeah, but they're neo Nazis. 411 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:51,880 Speaker 2: I don't care. 412 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 5: They're the first party that says what I feel. If 413 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:59,680 Speaker 5: you want extremism, suppress people's speech, tell them what's not 414 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 5: accept to say. That's how you get That's how you 415 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 5: get extremism. 416 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 2: Well, to a certain extent. That's how Trump got elected. 417 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 2: I mean the people that vote for him despite you know, 418 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,239 Speaker 2: the flaws that they don't like. It's like, uh, you 419 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:19,199 Speaker 2: constantly see reality not being your reality, not being expressed 420 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 2: in mainstream media. It's very angry. 421 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,640 Speaker 5: So in response to what Vance just said and more 422 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,639 Speaker 5: that we hadn't played, the German Defense Minister said that 423 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 5: Vance's words were quote not acceptable, which beautifully made Vance's point. 424 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 5: There was the VP of the United States arguing that 425 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 5: the Europeans had become far too comfortable telling people what 426 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 5: they could and could not say, and instead of developing 427 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,879 Speaker 5: a counter theory, the first official the issue or a 428 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 5: joinder told him he shouldn't have said that. Thank you 429 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 5: for making my point for me, Hair official, Sir, unbelievable. 430 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 2: One of my favorite pundits said, in Europe, especially in Germany, 431 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 2: you have basically two choices. Either you agree with the 432 00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 2: prevailing narrative on issues like COVID, climate, immigration, Trump, in 433 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 2: which case you are a responsible, kind, democratic and all 434 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 2: the other approving adjectives and everything is fine in your life. 435 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 2: Or you question or disagree with the direction on any 436 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,199 Speaker 2: of those things and think that your leaders might not 437 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,680 Speaker 2: be getting it right, in which case you're a populist 438 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 2: or racist. You're uneducated, of course, you're far far right 439 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 2: or far right in you're a threat to the country 440 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,920 Speaker 2: and your views need to be taken off the Internet 441 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 2: or shut down or find if you express them in public. 442 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 5: So Marco Rubio was interviewed on Face the Nation by 443 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,879 Speaker 5: the absolute idiot Margaret Brennan. That would get me a 444 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 5: jail time in Germany. 445 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 2: For no, it's. 446 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 5: Astonishing her lack of wisdom. It's like a some girl 447 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 5: who was raised in the woods like Nellen doesn't have 448 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 5: the power of speech. She appears to be a normal intelligence, 449 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 5: but is so completely blind to the realities of the world. 450 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,879 Speaker 5: She just doesn't make any sense. But she interviewed Marco 451 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 5: Rubio and I want to get to her most influenced 452 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:08,199 Speaker 5: I'm sorry infamous in the idiotic clip. But first this 453 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:11,160 Speaker 5: about the speech in general ninety four, I. 454 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,360 Speaker 6: Want to ask you about what happened in Munich, Germany. 455 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 6: At the Security conference, Vice President Vance gave a speech 456 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 6: and he told us allies that the threat he worries 457 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,879 Speaker 6: about the most is not Russia, it is not China. 458 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,240 Speaker 6: He called it the threat from within, and he lectured 459 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:31,359 Speaker 6: about what he described as censorship, mainly focusing though on 460 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 6: including more views from the right. He also met with 461 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:38,119 Speaker 6: the leader of a far right party known as the AfD, which, 462 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 6: as you know, is under investigation and monitoring by German 463 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:44,720 Speaker 6: intelligence because of extremism. 464 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 2: What did all of. 465 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 6: This accomplish other than irritating our allies, Well, why would. 466 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,240 Speaker 11: Our allies there anybody be irritated by free speech and 467 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 11: by someone giving their opinion. We are, after all, democracies. 468 00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:01,360 Speaker 11: Thesic Munich Security Conference is largely a conference of democracies. 469 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,119 Speaker 11: In which one of the things that we cherish in 470 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:06,240 Speaker 11: value is the ability to speak feely and provide your opinions. 471 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 11: And so I think if anyone's angry about his word, 472 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,199 Speaker 11: they don't have to agree with him, but to be 473 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,359 Speaker 11: angry about it, I think actually makes this point. 474 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:17,639 Speaker 5: Whether it's the American left or you know, in the past, 475 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 5: the right, or the Europeans. It's like talking to somebody 476 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 5: who doesn't understands steam. There's a boiling pot and there's 477 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:29,360 Speaker 5: steam pouring out of it, and they say, don't worry, 478 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 5: I'll take care of this steam. And they clamp the 479 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 5: lid down, and then they're astounded by what happens next. 480 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,719 Speaker 5: Unbelievable lack of wisdom. And then Jack, unless you want 481 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,879 Speaker 5: to jump in there, this which should go down and 482 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:45,680 Speaker 5: broadcast in for me for the rest of time. 483 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:47,639 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was just going to point out. Jonathan Turley 484 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:49,679 Speaker 2: wrote a great column in The New York Post yesterday, 485 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 2: Vance rightly excoriates europe what values are we defending and 486 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 2: compared the speech to Reagan's mister Garbichev, tear down this 487 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:03,159 Speaker 2: wall speech, and it's possible importance for the culture of 488 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,200 Speaker 2: free speech and different points of view. But he also 489 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 2: what Bill Crystal of CNN, who used to be at 490 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,919 Speaker 2: the Weekly Standard and his dad is one of the 491 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,600 Speaker 2: fathers of conservativism or whatever, said said the speech was 492 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 2: a humiliation for the United States and a confirmation that 493 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:21,879 Speaker 2: this administration isn't on the side of the democracies. Yeah, wow, 494 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 2: absolutely amazing. 495 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:28,640 Speaker 5: And Vance's greater point geo politically speaking, was that, hey, dudes, 496 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 5: you're not listening to your people. 497 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 2: That steam is building up. 498 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,399 Speaker 5: It's expressing itself in whether the AfD in Germany or 499 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 5: whatever parties that you marine La penn in France in 500 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 5: ways that you don't like. So how about you let 501 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,200 Speaker 5: people release that steam and you listen to your people. 502 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,719 Speaker 5: Otherwise you are going to crumble and we will not 503 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 5: have you as allies anymore because you have crumbled. 504 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 2: So it's a very very practical strategy. 505 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,600 Speaker 5: It's not just like he was making a rhetorical argument 506 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:59,400 Speaker 5: because he likes to argue. He sees our allies falling apart. 507 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,879 Speaker 5: And then this again, this moment. You know, if I 508 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,439 Speaker 5: was going to limit free speech, I would revoke CBS's 509 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:12,639 Speaker 5: license to broadcast based purely on the sheer stupidity of 510 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 5: clip ninety six. 511 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,199 Speaker 6: He was standing in a country where free speech was 512 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:22,359 Speaker 6: weaponized to conduct a genocide, and he met with the 513 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 6: head of a political party that has far right views 514 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:33,119 Speaker 6: and some historic ties to extreme groups. The context of 515 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 6: that was changing the tone of it. 516 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 2: And you know that that. 517 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 6: The censorship disagree with you specifically about the right. 518 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 11: Now I have to disagree with you. The free speech 519 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 11: was not used to conduct a genocide. The genocide was 520 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 11: conducted by an authoritarian Nazi regime that happened to also 521 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 11: be genocidal because they hated Jews, and they hated minorities, 522 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 11: and they hated those that they had a list of 523 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,959 Speaker 11: people they hated, but primarily the Jews. There was no 524 00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 11: free speech in Nazi Germany. 525 00:27:58,359 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 2: There was none. 526 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,399 Speaker 11: There was also no OP position in Nazi Germany. They 527 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,919 Speaker 11: were a sole and only party that governed that country. 528 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 11: So that's not an accurate reflection of history. 529 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:10,200 Speaker 5: A phrase weaponized free speech is something well and tag 530 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 5: me Marco, I want to jump in here. Far from 531 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:18,600 Speaker 5: being an example of free speech weaponized to conduct a genocide, 532 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:23,360 Speaker 5: Germany under Hitler was engaged in precisely the sort of 533 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:30,440 Speaker 5: democratic authoritarianism that Vance was condemning. It was exactly the 534 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 5: opposite of what the ninny Margaret Brennan suggested. He was 535 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 5: standing in a country where a free speech was weaponized 536 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 5: to commit a genocide. Good lord, what an ignoramus. Uh. 537 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 2: What Jonathan Turley calls the haymaker from Vance's speech is 538 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,520 Speaker 2: when he said, if you're running in fear of your 539 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:53,240 Speaker 2: own voters, there's nothing American can do for you. Nor, 540 00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 2: for the matter, is there anything you can do for 541 00:28:55,360 --> 00:29:00,160 Speaker 2: the American people that elected me and Donald Trump. If 542 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,560 Speaker 2: you're running in fear from your own voters, there's nothing 543 00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:05,400 Speaker 2: America can do for you. And that's what they're doing 544 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 2: with the censorship. They don't like the point of view 545 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 2: of a big chunk of their countries, and so they're 546 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 2: trying to outlaw that point of view, which is not 547 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 2: going to work. Yeah. 548 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,120 Speaker 5: Their inability to deal with steam, as I described it before, 549 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 5: is partly practical because the steam is rising because of 550 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 5: their policies, namely rampant immigration, open immigration from the Muslim 551 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:34,120 Speaker 5: world especially, and also economic policies. 552 00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:35,760 Speaker 2: But the other part of it is ideological. 553 00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:39,960 Speaker 5: They are so intensely uncomfortable with the conversation about, Hey, 554 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,360 Speaker 5: we've let all these people who do not share our values, 555 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,240 Speaker 5: They do not share our culture. In fact, they despise 556 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 5: our culture, and they've been tasked with overturning it in 557 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:51,760 Speaker 5: the name of Sharia, for instance. 558 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:53,600 Speaker 2: This is not good. 559 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 5: They are so intensely uncomfortable with that for political correctness 560 00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,040 Speaker 5: reasons to use the cliched old phrase that they I 561 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,960 Speaker 5: can't even permit it, and so they cheerfully inform a 562 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 5: cheerful share in ALPHONSI on CBS that, well, free speech 563 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 5: has its limits. 564 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:09,240 Speaker 2: We must we must correl. 565 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,720 Speaker 5: It, so nobody says anything rude and we will just 566 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,840 Speaker 5: clamp that lid on and that'll get rid of the steam. 567 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,680 Speaker 2: Well, good luck, And let me guess you could say 568 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 2: practically anything about people on the right and that wouldn't 569 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,800 Speaker 2: be considered rude or an attack or anything like that. 570 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 5: That just facts, just facts. Oh yeah, it's entirely one sided. 571 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,240 Speaker 2: That is really something. What a very very frightening weekend 572 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:32,719 Speaker 2: from the standpoint of free speech. 573 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,280 Speaker 5: But you know, getting back to Reagan's mister Garbachev's speech, 574 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:41,800 Speaker 5: I think Turley's not overstating how important it is to 575 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 5: go to their homes say that out loud in front 576 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,720 Speaker 5: of the world. Y'all are committing suicide because you don't 577 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:49,760 Speaker 5: listen to your people. 578 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,520 Speaker 2: If you had any comments on that, you could Our 579 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 2: text line is four one five two nine KFTC. 580 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:03,640 Speaker 7: Fun fact, a person born during the first season of 581 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:08,080 Speaker 7: Saturday Night Live could today be easily dead of natural costume. 582 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,440 Speaker 2: Now you're going to see a lot of familiar things. 583 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 7: Tonight, musical guest sketches, cameo appearances, the news, and this 584 00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 7: is the monologue, traditionally the weakest part of the show. Yes, 585 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,760 Speaker 7: the monologue is like a rent controlled tenant. 586 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:34,600 Speaker 2: It's not going anywhere, even though it stinks. I thought 587 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 2: the Saturday A Live Show is really, really entertaining. I 588 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,880 Speaker 2: really enjoyed it. I thought it was the opening. So 589 00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,120 Speaker 2: they opened with Paul Simon and a musical thing with 590 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:45,640 Speaker 2: the hot it girl of the time, that Sabrina Carpenter 591 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 2: Werman who shows up everywhere. It's funny how the whole 592 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:51,040 Speaker 2: it girl thing is is for real. Save your money, dear, 593 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,800 Speaker 2: you can yet up kidding because there'll be another hot 594 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 2: young blonde come along. But I liked her line about 595 00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 2: the famous Paul Simon George Harryson duet from way back 596 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:03,920 Speaker 2: in the day, Like second season or something like that 597 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,840 Speaker 2: on Sarah Life, and she said I wasn't even born 598 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:10,440 Speaker 2: yet and neither were my parents. And I thought, holy crap, 599 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:17,680 Speaker 2: that's true. Her parents weren't important yet. I thought the 600 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,160 Speaker 2: big giant musical number at the end about New York 601 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,680 Speaker 2: and everything with John Mulaney as an area, I thought, Wow, 602 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,480 Speaker 2: that was some art. That was some amazing stuff there, 603 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 2: just really really cool. 604 00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:29,280 Speaker 5: I was shocked if you didn't see at the extent 605 00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,720 Speaker 5: to which it was new comedy. Yeah, with just zillions 606 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 5: of I assumed they'd be a flashback show, and it 607 00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:37,760 Speaker 5: had some, but it was mostly newly produced stuff and 608 00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:38,920 Speaker 5: a lot of it was really good. A lot of 609 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,480 Speaker 5: it was not, but that's the nature of you know, 610 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:43,840 Speaker 5: that sketch comedy. Yeah, that was a lot of the 611 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:47,720 Speaker 5: more famous sketches, like the the being abducted by alien 612 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 5: stuff and just you know. Anyway, they displayed Kneed Meryl 613 00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:55,400 Speaker 5: Streep as guests star. 614 00:32:55,560 --> 00:33:00,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty funny. I thought, Eddie Murphy doing Tracy Morgan's 615 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:03,160 Speaker 2: standing next to Tracy Morgan was pretty dang hilarious. Yes, 616 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,360 Speaker 2: that was very funny. And Ken Topson say you too, 617 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:11,280 Speaker 2: you could be related, and Tracy Morgan says, I don't 618 00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:15,920 Speaker 2: see it. Oh, I left so hard at that show. 619 00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:19,560 Speaker 5: Let me acknowledge briefly the infamous Dug thing where the 620 00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:21,880 Speaker 5: punchline of the black Jeopardy sketch was that a Trump 621 00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,600 Speaker 5: supporter is such as stupid racist he won't even shake 622 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:26,960 Speaker 5: the hand of a black man, right, at which I 623 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:27,560 Speaker 5: turned it. 624 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:29,680 Speaker 2: Off for a while. I was like, no, sorry, you 625 00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,560 Speaker 2: don't want me okay, bye. So a different topic here 626 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:37,760 Speaker 2: came across this on the NPR feed. So I don't 627 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:41,400 Speaker 2: use emojis, but the rest of you people do for 628 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,200 Speaker 2: some reason. And apparently if you do a thumbs up, 629 00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:47,560 Speaker 2: there are six different skin colors you can choose for 630 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,560 Speaker 2: the thumbs up. There used to just be yellow, but 631 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:56,360 Speaker 2: now there's yellow, I don't know, slightly, tan, more tan, 632 00:33:56,560 --> 00:34:00,200 Speaker 2: even more tan, Brown, and black are your choices, and 633 00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:02,680 Speaker 2: it's like a paint chip. You get a thrd worse store. 634 00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,120 Speaker 2: And NPR had an article which I didn't click on 635 00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:08,520 Speaker 2: and read that said some white people may choose the 636 00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:13,680 Speaker 2: yellow thumbs up because it feels neutral, but academics argue 637 00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:19,120 Speaker 2: opting out of the actual white guy thumb I guess 638 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,120 Speaker 2: signals a lack of awareness about white privilege, akin to 639 00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:26,279 Speaker 2: society associating whiteness with being raceless. So it's kind of 640 00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,600 Speaker 2: the whole anti racist thing. If you choose the yellow 641 00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,480 Speaker 2: guy thumbs up, it is a racist move because you're 642 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:33,400 Speaker 2: claiming there's a neutral or something. I don't know what 643 00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,520 Speaker 2: it was, but I just found that quite hilarious. 644 00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:37,920 Speaker 5: And everything is based on race all the time, so 645 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,680 Speaker 5: you need to pick an accurate skin tone and then 646 00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:45,040 Speaker 5: acknowledge your white thumbs up supremacy. You know what, you people, 647 00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:47,920 Speaker 5: you had your day and you're still having it in 648 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,600 Speaker 5: government to some extent and on campuses. But we're coming 649 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:50,920 Speaker 5: for you. 650 00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:54,360 Speaker 2: We had this story a couple of weeks ago. It's obvious, 651 00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:56,279 Speaker 2: but I hadn't thought about it before. But now I 652 00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,560 Speaker 2: think about it every time I hear academics say or 653 00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:02,200 Speaker 2: experts say. I got to remember that academics and experts 654 00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:07,840 Speaker 2: are like, depending on the uh, what their expertise is, 655 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:12,640 Speaker 2: one hundred percent of them are progressives. Sometimes it gets 656 00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:15,080 Speaker 2: down to as few as ninety eight percent of them 657 00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:18,360 Speaker 2: are progressives. But so if you go to experts, they're 658 00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:23,759 Speaker 2: all on one side. So of course the experts say this, yeah, yeah, 659 00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:24,880 Speaker 2: just remember this. 660 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,480 Speaker 5: If an expert's quoted. There's a good chance that is 661 00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:31,560 Speaker 5: a professor. Professors are the media's favorite experts, and if 662 00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:33,920 Speaker 5: it's a professor, it's going to be a progressive person 663 00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:34,720 Speaker 5: almost always. 664 00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:38,400 Speaker 2: So yeah, you're incredibly one side. Experts think this is dangerous. Okay, 665 00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,360 Speaker 2: so you ask progressives and nobody else. But that's hilarious. 666 00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:43,960 Speaker 2: You're showing your white privilege if you don't, if you 667 00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,920 Speaker 2: if you use the yellow thumbs up. So think think 668 00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:49,759 Speaker 2: about that throughout the day. I just like the Simpsons. 669 00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:55,799 Speaker 2: You evil be funny, racist bastard.
