1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,800 Speaker 1: We've talked about this for a while and it is 2 00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:05,640 Speaker 1: a warning of what happens if you allow the government 3 00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:10,000 Speaker 1: to well silence speech. A lot of speech that you 4 00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:11,840 Speaker 1: may not like, or I may not like, or may 5 00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:13,760 Speaker 1: not agree with. But does it have a right to 6 00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:16,200 Speaker 1: be said? Do you have a right to say things 7 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:18,880 Speaker 1: online without having to worry that someone's going to come 8 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 1: and arrest you because the government was offended. Well, it's 9 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,280 Speaker 1: not the first time in Germany to have someone threaten 10 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 1: to arrest you if you say something the government doesn't like. 11 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 2: There was a guy by the name of Adolf. 12 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:35,960 Speaker 1: Hitler that had no problem using his goons to come 13 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,320 Speaker 1: after people in Germany if you said things they didn't like. Well, 14 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 1: guess what, they're doing it again. And the worst part 15 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 1: is CBS News was glorifying it in a sixty minutes report. 16 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 1: That's right, the American broadcaster CBS followed German police as 17 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: they rated homes for what they described as speech crime. 18 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 1: So what were some of those crimes? Things like a 19 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 1: quote racist cartoon or a meme that the government thought 20 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 1: crossed a line. And now prosecutors in the country are 21 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,319 Speaker 1: saying they have no choice but to do this. Defending 22 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 1: the move as what they describe as a safeguard necessary 23 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 1: to protect democracy. Now, what makes his story so interesting 24 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,679 Speaker 1: is just days after the Vice President J. D. Vance 25 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 1: Lamb blasted Germany and other European states for failing to 26 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:40,319 Speaker 1: live up to Western ideals of liberty, particularly on the 27 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 1: issue of free speech, CBS's Sixty Minutes News magazine decided 28 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: it was the perfect time to broadcast footage of these 29 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 1: police raids over social media posts and interviews with the 30 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 1: prosecutors defending these draconian practices. You know, the same type 31 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: of thing that Adolf Hitler would use to silence Pole 32 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: that we're against him. I want you to listen to 33 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 1: how CBS News is trying to sell this to you, 34 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 1: the American people. 35 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 2: This isn't CBS News. 36 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: In Germany, right, They're airing this to you in America, 37 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: trying to get you to believe that the only way 38 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 1: you can save a democracy is if you silence black 39 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,799 Speaker 1: people up and raid their homes for things they say 40 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: that you may find offensive. 41 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 3: If you've ever dared to read the comments on a 42 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 3: social media post, you might start to wonder if civilized 43 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:41,239 Speaker 3: discourse is just a myth. Aggressive threats, lies, and harassment 44 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 3: have unfortunately become the norm online or anonymity has emboldened 45 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 3: some users to push the limits of civility. In the 46 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:54,640 Speaker 3: United States, most of what anyone says, sends, or streams online, 47 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,359 Speaker 3: even if it's hate filled or toxic, is protected by 48 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 3: the First Amendment as free speech. But Germany is trying 49 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,799 Speaker 3: to bring some civility to the world Wide Web by 50 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 3: policing it in a way most Americans could never imagine. 51 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 3: In an effort, it says, to protect this course, German 52 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 3: authorities have started prosecuting online trolls, and as we saw, 53 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 3: it often begins with a pre dawn wake up call 54 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 3: from the police. It's six oh one on a Tuesday morning, 55 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 3: and we were with state police as they raided this 56 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 3: apartment in northwest Germany. Inside six armed officers searched to 57 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 3: suspects home, then seized his laptop and cell phone. Prosecutors 58 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 3: say those electronics may have been used to commit a crime, 59 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 3: the crime posting a racist cartoon online. At the exact 60 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 3: same time, across Germany, more than fifty similar raids played out, 61 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 3: part of what prosecutters say is a coordinated effort to 62 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 3: curb online hate speech. In Germany, what's the typical reaction 63 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 3: when the police show up at somebody's door and they say, hey, 64 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 3: we believe you wrote this on the internet. 65 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:18,479 Speaker 4: They say, in Germany, we say that's loaf. And so 66 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 4: we are here with crimes of talking posting an internet 67 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 4: and the people are surprised that this is really illegal 68 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 4: to post these kind of words. 69 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 3: They don't think illegal. 70 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 2: They don't. 71 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: By the way, I love that the prosecutors are saying, yeah, 72 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 1: they're really surprised when we bang on their door. Yeah, 73 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: no crap, because they thought they had freedom of speech. 74 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 1: And what you guys are doing is you're saying, we 75 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 1: sanction the government. This is what Hitler did. This is 76 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 1: in Germany, sixty minutes is glorifying this, saying like, hey, 77 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,839 Speaker 1: we need this. In America is the government should decide 78 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 1: what you can and can't say we went through this. 79 00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: By the way, with COVID, can't say the word ivermectin. 80 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 1: You can't say the word Wuhan Institute of Virology. You 81 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 1: can't say that the stop to spread isn't working after 82 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,479 Speaker 1: six months when they said it would only stop for 83 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: two weeks. You can't say masks don't work. You can't 84 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: say that the six foot rule is insane. 85 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 2: Right. 86 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 1: You can't say that you're killing the economy because you're 87 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: shutting down all these businesses. You can't say that kids 88 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 1: aren't getting a good education, and then there's no way 89 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: that this distance learning is going to be effective. 90 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 5: Right. 91 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: These are all things where they're like, oh, you can't 92 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 1: say this. You can't criticize doctor Fauci and the Wuhan 93 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: Institute of Virology at all. Right, that we were silenced 94 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: online now that we fought back, that's why Donald Trump's president. 95 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 2: But what sixty men is saying is no, no, this 96 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:47,840 Speaker 2: is the civilized way of doing things. 97 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: Do it the German way, right, And these citizens in 98 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: Germany are shocked that you can't say things that we 99 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 1: say you're not allowed to say in Germany. 100 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 2: That's what they're telling you. 101 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 4: Keep listening saying it was illegal, and they say, no, 102 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 4: that's my free speech, and we said no, yeah, free 103 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,040 Speaker 4: speech as well, but it also has limits. 104 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 3: Interpreting those limits is part of the job for doctor 105 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 3: mataas Fink, Savina mining House and Frank Mihai l Lau, 106 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 3: a few of the state prosecutors tasked with policing Germany's 107 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 3: robust hate speech laws online. 108 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: By the way, notice how they say it in the 109 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 1: name of hate speech online, right Like they're like, well, 110 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 1: where we had to do this. 111 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 2: We're forced to do this. 112 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: We're forced to take away your right to say things 113 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 1: online because you guys just got out of control. So 114 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 1: we had no other option but to stop and to 115 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: auto correct the course here. 116 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 2: So that's why we're. 117 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,359 Speaker 1: Knocking on your door, arresting you, taking your laptop and 118 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: everything else. Now here's the next part the kicker. Listen 119 00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: to what they say, because they're going to bring up 120 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: like Nazi Germany. 121 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:05,479 Speaker 2: Okay, that's part of his part. That just makes me laugh. 122 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: Here they put up an image of the people walking 123 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: down the street with their hands up in the air 124 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 1: of the soldiers to Hitler. 125 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 2: Listen. 126 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 3: After its darkest chapter, Germany strengthened it speech laws. As 127 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 3: prosecutors explain it, the German constitution protects free speech, but 128 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 3: not hate speech. And here's where it gets tricky. German 129 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 3: law prohibits any speech that could incite hatred or is 130 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 3: deemed insulting. 131 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: So you just heard it there, Well, if the government 132 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 1: deems it what you're saying could make someone angry or 133 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 1: could trigger someone. Let's talk about transgenders in America real quick. 134 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: A great example of this would be them saying, well, 135 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: you have freedom of speech, but you can't say that 136 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 1: a dude that dresses like a chick is still a 137 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: dude that could incite violence. 138 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 2: Makes one angry. 139 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: So therefore we're going to come arrest you and take 140 00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: you down and take your property and charge you with 141 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 1: because you incited a dude that's dressing like a check. 142 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: That's the standard they're saying, is now the normal in Germany. 143 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 2: Listen to prosecutors. 144 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 3: It's illegal to display Nazi symbolism, a swastika, deny the Holocaust. 145 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 3: That's that's clear. Is it a crime to insult somebody 146 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 3: in public? Yes, yes, and it's a crime to insult 147 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 3: them online as well. 148 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 4: Yes. The fine could be even higher if you insult 149 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 4: someone in the internet. Why because in internet it stays there. 150 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 4: If we are talking you face to face, you unsult me, 151 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 4: insult you, okay, finish. But if you in the internet, 152 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 4: if I insilt you or a politician. 153 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 3: That sticks around forever. Yeah, the prosecutors explain. German law 154 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 3: also prohibits the spread of malicious gossip, violent threats, and 155 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 3: fake quotes. If somebody posts something that's not true and 156 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 3: then somebody else reposts it or likes it, are they 157 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 3: committing a crime And. 158 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 4: The case of reposting it as a crime as well, 159 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 4: because the reader can't distinguished whether you just invented this 160 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 4: or just reposted it. 161 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 1: So to be clear, you find something online, you repost 162 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: it to bring awareness to it. Maybe it's something you 163 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,680 Speaker 1: can't stand and they say it's not accurate or factual, 164 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 1: they can come now and arrest you and charge you 165 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 1: with a crime. 166 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 2: In Germany. 167 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: And this is what sixty minutes is advocating for. The 168 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: only reason why you do this damn story is because 169 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: you're saying, hey, we should probably think about doing some 170 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 1: of this in America. Folks like you know, we need 171 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 1: some of this tough love in America for people online. 172 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 2: So you post something we don't like, all right? Let 173 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 2: me let me give you an example. 174 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: If we use the standard that was just laid out 175 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 1: on sixty minutes, when people start talking during COVID about 176 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: ivermectin and I post something positive about ivermectin, could they 177 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:03,359 Speaker 1: then come and arrest me for posting something about ivermectin 178 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: that they then decide to declare as a horsty warmer 179 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: even though it wasn't just because they didn't want you 180 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,719 Speaker 1: to use something that they didn't approve of. 181 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 2: I think you know the answer to that. In Germany. 182 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, they'll come, arrest your ables, drag you from your home. 183 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 1: That's what they'll do, and they have no problem doing it. 184 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 2: And now sixty Minutes is putting it out there as 185 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 2: propaganda of something we should all like aspire to. I 186 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 2: put this out there as a warning, pay attention. They're 187 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 2: not going to stop. 188 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 1: Why are Democrats fighting doge and saving you money so much? 189 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: It's because they're losing their pork barrel projects and their corruption. 190 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 1: With this money that they can pay off their friends 191 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 1: and indoctrinate the youth in this country and control the media. 192 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 1: That has been very clear from what we've seen. But 193 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 1: if you go back in history, they've had no problem 194 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 1: saying that they are actually in favor of getting rid 195 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 1: of waste, fraud and abuse. It actually used to be 196 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,199 Speaker 1: a bipartisan issue. How do we know it, Well, listen 197 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 1: to the former presidents in this country talking about exactly that. 198 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:20,320 Speaker 6: Waste fraud, abuse, to waste to fraud, and to abuse 199 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 6: waste fraud and abuse, waste fraud and abuse. 200 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 2: Waste and fraud and abuse. 201 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 7: Waste fraud or abuse, waste, fraud and abuse. 202 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 2: That would be unified. 203 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,079 Speaker 1: Did you did you hear all of those presidents, every 204 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: one of them was saying at some point in their 205 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: official capacity as president, that we need to get rid 206 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 1: of waste, fraud and abuse. 207 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 2: So what changed? Why is it now that this is 208 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:51,680 Speaker 2: such a bad thing. 209 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 1: Charles Pain, a friend of mine over at Fox Business Channel, 210 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: had a very interesting moment talking about this and exposing 211 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 1: the Democrats, And I want you to hear what was 212 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:02,719 Speaker 1: said there. 213 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 8: You have it, all the candidates, all the presidents, everyone, 214 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 8: and go into the White House, all day view America, 215 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 8: the same pledge. 216 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 2: But here's the thing. 217 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,680 Speaker 6: Now it's happening, and politicians are going ballistic. 218 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 2: We're winning in court. 219 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 6: More than a dozen federal injunctions and temporary restraint orders 220 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 6: have been issued against everything from their illegal seizure of 221 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 6: computer data to their illegal attempt to ban birthright citizenship 222 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,439 Speaker 6: number one. You know the constitution, You know they can't 223 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 6: just freeze these funds. This DOJA, I called the Department 224 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:41,959 Speaker 6: of Government Inefficiencies is causing a reign of terror, chaos 225 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 6: across the federal government. 226 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 2: Terrors. Yeah, I get so. 227 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 6: If you've been stealing money, I'd be scared as hell too. 228 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 1: If you are stealing money, I'd be scared as hell 229 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 1: to Now. Something else that's really interesting is that Google's 230 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:04,960 Speaker 1: searches in and around DC have skyrocketed when it comes 231 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 1: to asking about when. 232 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 2: Do you need a lawyer? 233 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:14,680 Speaker 1: How long can you go to jail for corruption, government corruption, 234 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 1: money laundering, and fraud. All of these different Google searches 235 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:23,680 Speaker 1: have skyrocketed since Donald Trump has come into office. That 236 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 1: is part of the reason why people are asking so 237 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 1: many questions now about each aspect of what the President's 238 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,680 Speaker 1: trying to do, which is clean up waste, fraud, and abuse. Now, 239 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 1: the Democrats, this is how they've been controlling society. I 240 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 1: don't think anybody understood just how corrupt the government was 241 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 1: until we started seeing elon must give the receipts of 242 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 1: where the money has actually been going.

It costs approximately two dollars and 278 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 1: forty cents per check to maintain this lock box network. 279 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 1: Deleting paper checks would save at least seven hundred and 280 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 1: fifty million dollars per year alone. The Department of Government 281 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 1: Efficiency also laid out, saying, in essence, why the hell 282 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 1: are we sitting out checks anymore? The Treasury process one 283 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 1: hundred and sixteen million paper checks in the fiscal year 284 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. 285 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 2: That's a lot of money, folks. 286 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 1: Seven one hundred and fifty million dollars a year is 287 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 1: what we would save just deleting the paper checks.

And 342 00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 7: I'll be putting the tariff of twenty on Canada and 343 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 7: separately twenty five percent on Mexico. 344 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,439 Speaker 1: Now that's how all of this got started. It was 345 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 1: all about the initial threat. Mexico couldn't handle the tar 346 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 1: if they knew it, so they said, okay, what do 347 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 1: you want from us? Now you fast forward a few 348 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,160 Speaker 1: days after that, Mexico said, okay, We're going to give 349 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,919 Speaker 1: you what you want. There was the breaking news that 350 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:27,200 Speaker 1: the President Mexico came out and said this foss was alert. 351 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,440 Speaker 8: And the breaking news of the day is on tariffs. 352 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 8: And we just have word that the Mexican president spoke 353 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 8: to Donald Trump and they are going to pause the 354 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:40,639 Speaker 8: tariffs on Mexico for one month. And Jackie Heinricht standing 355 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 8: by at the White House with more on this development. 356 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 5: Hi, Jackie, Good morning, Dana. Yeah, that was a pretty 357 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 5: short lived The President spoke with Mexican President Claudia Scheinbaum, 358 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 5: the two sides agreeing to pump the brakes on the 359 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 5: tariffs and then retaliatory tarifs that Mexico promised for the 360 00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,919 Speaker 5: period of a month while they work out the terms 361 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 5: of an agreement. The Mexican President just posted some of 362 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:06,719 Speaker 5: the details. Mexico is going to immediately send ten thousand 363 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 5: members of the National Guard to prevent drug trafficking from 364 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 5: Mexico to the United States, particularly fentanyl. Also, she says, 365 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,199 Speaker 5: the US is going to work with Mexico to prevent 366 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 5: the trafficking of high powered weapons to Mexico. Something that 367 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 5: Mexico hit back at when President Trump was threatening these 368 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,160 Speaker 5: tariffs was they were calling on the US to curb 369 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 5: the flow of guns from the US down to the cartels. 370 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 5: Scheinbaum says the two teams are going to begin working 371 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:36,679 Speaker 5: today on two fronts, security and trade, and President Trump 372 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,159 Speaker 5: posted on truth Social that part of that team is 373 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 5: going to include Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Treasury Secretary 374 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 5: Scott Bessant, and Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, as well 375 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 5: as some representatives from Mexico. 376 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 1: Now that is where they said, Okay, let's play game, right. 377 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 1: We know we don't want to mess with Trump, so 378 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:57,160 Speaker 1: we're going to do this. We'll send you the ten 379 00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: thousand troops. Let's go back to the baseline here. Mexico 380 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 1: is a failed state. That is one of the things 381 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,919 Speaker 1: that I really really want to make sure that you understand. 382 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 1: Mexico is a failed state. They Mexico is straight up 383 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:23,160 Speaker 1: run by the cartels. The president there is nothing but 384 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 1: what the cartel allows her to be. She has bought 385 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 1: and paid for. She is not going to tell the 386 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 1: cartells what she is or is not going to do 387 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,640 Speaker 1: like she's not going to dictate they are dictating to her. 388 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 2: The entire country is a failed state. Number one. 389 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:46,920 Speaker 1: So what we're witnessing is basically fake headlines. I'll give 390 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 1: you an example. There was a headline this week that 391 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 1: Mexican government like busted a bunch of drugs that were 392 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 1: headed towards America, and we were supposed to be really 393 00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 1: excited about this. This is the old, this cartel corrupt 394 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 1: government play that's in the books. And they've been doing 395 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 1: this from i mean decades ago, when the cartels were 396 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:18,399 Speaker 1: running drugs and the government was under pressure to do something. 397 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 1: You can go back to Runald Reagan and say no 398 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 1: to drugs and the war on drugs. What the cartels 399 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 1: did is they would give up basically drugs to purposely 400 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 1: be busted, and then they would have these oh, we 401 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,680 Speaker 1: busted this lab here, or we busted this massive shipment here. 402 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,640 Speaker 1: What we found afterwards, actually some of those drugs weren't 403 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:42,160 Speaker 1: even real drugs. They were like fake drugs, and then 404 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 1: they would get the headline right in Mexico, Big C. 405 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 1: We're cooperating with America, we're cooperating with the Reagan administration. 406 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 1: We're all in on the war on drugs. And all 407 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: of this was set up for the TVs. It was 408 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 1: so they could say, hey, every Thursday, you guys can 409 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 1: have a big bust and you can celebrate. 410 00:23:58,480 --> 00:23:59,399 Speaker 2: We'll throw it on TV. 411 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 1: And then Monday Tuesday and Wednesday and Friday, Saturday and Sunday. 412 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,679 Speaker 1: We can keep shipping our drugs, but we'll give you 413 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:10,119 Speaker 1: a shipment here and there that will basically fake so 414 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,199 Speaker 1: that you guys can have these fake victories all for 415 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 1: the cameras. And it worked, by the way, it worked 416 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 1: in the eighties, it worked in the nineties, it worked 417 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:19,639 Speaker 1: in the early two thousands. 418 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:21,960 Speaker 2: So when you see these headlines. 419 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 1: Now that like Mexico is you know, really having a 420 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 1: you know, a day, and they're and they're they're really 421 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 1: helping us crack down Like number one, it's propaganda. 422 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 2: Do not believe it. 423 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 1: The government is straight up run by the cartels. The 424 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 1: president is controlled by the cartels in Mexico. And anyone 425 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,680 Speaker 1: that is sitting there telling you that somehow we're fixing 426 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,400 Speaker 1: all of these things that I'm sorry, they're straight up 427 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:54,439 Speaker 1: lying to you. Nothing has been fixed in the last 428 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:58,400 Speaker 1: week or two or three by Mexico. Did they send 429 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 1: the troops, Yes, Why did they do that because they 430 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 1: knew the tariff was worse than them offering up ten 431 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,399 Speaker 1: thousand troops. Now, I do believe they're helping us a 432 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 1: little bit at the border. When it comes to human 433 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 1: trafficking because they know that's the number one issue and 434 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,359 Speaker 1: they want to make sure they've got ways for the drugs. 435 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,640 Speaker 1: Is still flow? Are they still doing that? You better 436 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:21,880 Speaker 1: believe it. They are absolutely still doing that. And anyone 437 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:25,440 Speaker 1: that tells you otherwise is straight up lying to you. Okay, 438 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 1: So understand there's a lot, I mean a lot of 439 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 1: propaganda here. There's a second part of this that they're 440 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,159 Speaker 1: doing right now with this propaganda, and I'm going to 441 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,199 Speaker 1: read this headline for you, says Mexico hypes up minor 442 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 1: cartel related arrests as Trump highlights their inaction on drug corruption. 443 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:49,119 Speaker 1: That means Donald Trump's not buying it either. Mexico's government 444 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 1: has been hyping up minor seizures and cartel arrests as 445 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 1: part of a pr strategy attempting to appease the Trump administration. 446 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 1: Trump officials highlighted Mexico's in action against cartel's in corruption 447 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 1: the America can presidents threaten them with tariffs and other 448 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 1: punitive measures. The strategy is the brainchild of Mexico's Public 449 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 1: Secretary of Security, a longtime ally and associated of the 450 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 1: Mexican president, and they obviously have very tight connections with 451 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 1: the cartels directly. 452 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:15,880 Speaker 2: Now. 453 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:19,439 Speaker 1: Since taking over all federal law enforcement in Mexico, this 454 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 1: individual by the name of Harfuch has kept a tight 455 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 1: rein on disseminating law enforcement information quote unquote from the article. 456 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,440 Speaker 1: Whenever a significant arrest occurs, noe of the press offices 457 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 1: at any Mexico's military or federal police forces are allowed 458 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:38,359 Speaker 1: to disseminate any information until this man approves it and 459 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,399 Speaker 1: tweets it out first. Such was the case of a 460 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 1: recent mid level cartel figure in Nuevo Laredo. The man 461 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 1: announced just after the Mexican President had a phone call 462 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:55,679 Speaker 1: with Donald Trump saying, Hey, we arrest an individual with 463 00:26:56,320 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 1: who's a top cartel leader? He was actually a read boss, okay, 464 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:05,120 Speaker 1: who let a strike team. US law enforcement sources revealed 465 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,439 Speaker 1: that they were lying about the significance that this was, 466 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,920 Speaker 1: in fact not a top boss. This is a mid 467 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 1: level guy, and they tried to make him into El 468 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:20,119 Speaker 1: Chapo and he's nowhere close to that. Now, Mexico appears 469 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:23,440 Speaker 1: to you act like this is some big victory, right 470 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:28,360 Speaker 1: this is, and that this individual, Harfutch is a charismatic 471 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 1: professional lawman in Mexico. 472 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:31,440 Speaker 2: That's crap. 473 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 1: He's been the target of much controversy of a corruption 474 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:38,360 Speaker 1: and bribery allegations. In the most recent news release from 475 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:40,879 Speaker 1: the Federal Security Cabinet, authorities listed the results of three 476 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 1: days of work during which they claim to have made 477 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 1: several arrests and seizures throughout Mexico. However, a closer look 478 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:49,959 Speaker 1: at the end since listed show that Mexico has been 479 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 1: hyping up at cazars while in reality, criminal organizations continue 480 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 1: to operate with almost complete impunity throughout Mexico. In the 481 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 1: case of the erect authorities have been hyping up minor 482 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:05,960 Speaker 1: cartel figures and simply hiding behind the terms violent generators 483 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 1: when they arrest easily replaceable cartel members. And by the way, 484 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:11,159 Speaker 1: many of these guys will be right back out in 485 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:16,480 Speaker 1: the streets. This is again what they're doing to try 486 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 1: to play the pr game, and the media in America, 487 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 1: much of them, are helping them sell it. They're like, oh, 488 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 1: big drug bust and all this you know, all this 489 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:27,640 Speaker 1: cash was found in illegal guns and they're really cracking down. 490 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 2: No, they're not. I'll give you another example. 491 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:34,880 Speaker 1: Our foods has a history of embezzling seizures and their 492 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:39,480 Speaker 1: effect on criminal organizations. In December, authority sees hundred kilograms 493 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 1: of fetanyl during a raid in Sinaloa. At the time, 494 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 1: authorities did not provide details on any arrest, but did 495 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 1: claim that the seizure was worth more than four hundred 496 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 1: million and was a heavy blow to organized crime have 497 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 1: According to a report, the production costs of fetnoh in 498 00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:00,720 Speaker 1: Mexico's approximately seventeen thousand per kilogram, which would put the 499 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 1: actual blow of the seizure at approximately twenty million, and 500 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:07,000 Speaker 1: not four hundred million, as Mexico's government lied to you. 501 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,880 Speaker 1: So they're claiming that they had a four hundred million 502 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 1: dollar bus, it was actually a twenty million dollar bus. 503 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,320 Speaker 1: That's just the cost of doing business, like they don't 504 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 1: even care.
