1
00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 1: Hostages found murdered in Rafa. That is the headline that

2
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: unfortunately the media doesn't want to talk about today because

3
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: that is exactly where Kamala Harris told Israel not to go.

4
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,279
Speaker 1: The six hostages whose bodies were found Saturday in a

5
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 1: tunnel underneath Gaza, including the American Israeli Hirsch Goldberg Poland,

6
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 1: were discovered in Rafa, the city that the Vice President

7
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris clearly stated multiple times is an area where

8
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: Israel should not enter. Those were her words. In February,

9
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: the Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said that Israel was prepared

10
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: to enter Rafa, a key town on the Gaza Egypt

11
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 1: border where Hama's leaders were thought to be hiding and

12
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: holding some of the Israeli hostages from the horrific attacks

13
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: that took place now almost a year ago. Kamala Harris,

14
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: echoing the Biden administration's warnings, told Israel not to enter Rafa,

15
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 1: saying that there could be many Palestinian civilians killed and

16
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: warning of possible quote unquote consequences that the US would

17
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:21,199
Speaker 1: withhold weapons could be part of those consequences, Harris saying

18
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: at the time, I have studied the maps.

19
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 2: That was part of her warning.

20
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: Now I'm going to tell you more about what they

21
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 1: don't want you to know about how all this unfolded.

22
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: But first I also want to tell you, and it's

23
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: so important as we are hearing about this story, that

24
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: we stand with the people in Israel, and the International

25
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: Fellowship of Christians and Jews is doing exactly that. We

26
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: are quickly approaching the one year anniversary of the horrific

27
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: Commas attacks on Israel, and still the Holy Land continues

28
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: to be attacked on multiple fronts. Daily deadly threats are

29
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: increasing in northern Israel and constant rocket attacks from terrorist

30
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: organizations hes blobbed backed by Iran have been fired at Israel,

31
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: causing widespread damage as well as raging wildfires this summer

32
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: that destroyed precious farm land. Since the war started, the

33
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: International Fellowship of Christians and Jews has been on the

34
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: forefront of Israel addressing the needs of the most vulnerable.

35
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: And that's why I'm partnering with IFCJ and I want

36
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: you to get involved in Stand with the people of Israel. Literally,

37
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: your life saving donation is going to provide emergency food

38
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: as well as critical security needs such as flag jackets,

39
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: firefighting equipment, and armored vehicles, including armored ambulances. They also

40
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: are putting in bomb shelters and much more. Now, what

41
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: we're asking for is five hundred of you that listen

42
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: to this show, which is a very small percentage of

43
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: the audience, to join the Fellowship and me by donating

44
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty dollars to help the people in

45
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: need in Israel. Now, thanks to a generous IFCJ supporter,

46

Speaker 1: your gift will be matched. That means doubling the impact

47
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 1: for the people in Israel in the Holy Land.

48
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,000

55
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: let's get back to this part of the story, and

56
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: it's the part that matters. Kamlairas says, quote, I've studied

57
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: the maps and if you go into this area called

58
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: this area called Rafa, we may withhold what you need,

59
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: including ammunition to protect to defend yourself.

60
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 2: That was the warning from Kamala Harris to Israel.

61
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: Israel had to do what was necessary right, and Israel

62
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: decided that it was necessary to enter Rafa. They entered,

63
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: by the way, with minimal civilian casualties. Israel has killed

64
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: hundreds of terrace in Rafa, though the leaders are thought

65
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 1: to have moved elsewhere within the Gaza strip. They have

66
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 1: also rescued one hostage and recovered the bodies now of

67
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: several others, including the American Israeli Goldberg Poland and five others.

68
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: Over the weekend, Israel also established control of a major

69
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 1: corridor there. It's a key strategic road along the border

70
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: with Egypt where Israeli forces have found and destroyed tunnels

71
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: that a mass had used to smuggle weapons and other

72
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: materials into Gaza that were clearly against the law. The

73
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: IDF spokesman said Sunday that the six hostages had been

74
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: murdered cruelly by Hamas as Israeli soldiers closed in on

75
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 1: their location, possibly based on intelligence provided by a hostage

76
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 1: rescued last week. This is the part that is so

77
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: sad about how barbaric Hamas is so what is hamas

78
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: to this administration? To Kamala Harris, they're an organization they

79
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: claim that you should listen to, that you should talk to,

80
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 1: that you should work with. They do not look at

81
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 1: them like they are a hardcore terrorist organization that is

82
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: willing to shoot hostages and torture them. For the last

83
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: year in the head because that's exactly what the reporting

84
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:46,679
Speaker 1: is now and again Biden and Harris boat taking heat

85
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: because Biden on another beach vacation. He's been on vacation

86
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: since he was sent out to pasture. At the Democratic

87
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: National Convention, he had a statement that said, quote, I

88
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: worked tirelessly to bring hersh that would be the American home.

89
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: That unfortunately is a lie. Now President Biden issuing this

90
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: statement Saturday evening that he had worked tirelessly to secure

91
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: the release of Hirsh and other murdered hostages and claimed

92
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: he would keep working around the clock for a deal.

93
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: I don't know what his definition of working around the

94
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 1: clock is, but doing it from the beach in Delaware

95
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: week on in doesn't exactly look like someone to me

96
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: that's working around the clock. And that is not how

97
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: I would want our president to act. If one of

98
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: my family members was being held hostage for the last

99
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 1: year by a terrorist organization. Now Biden has been on

100
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 1: vacation now for not one week, but two weeks. First

101
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: he was in Santa Barbara, California, and second he was

102
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 1: back in Delaware at his favorite beach there. It is

103
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 1: not clear how he would have been working tirelessly quote

104
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: unquote or around the clock quote unquote while on a

105
00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: two week vacation. His official statement, however, that was written

106
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 1: by his staff, read this way quote earlier today in

107
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 1: a tunnel under the city of Ratha, same place again

108
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: that Biden and Harris both said, Israel, don't go. Israeli

109
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: forces recovered six bodies of hostages held by Hamas. We

110
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: have now confirmed that one of the hostages killed by

111
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: these vicious Hamas Harris was an American citizen, Heirsch Goldberg, Poland.

112
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: I am devastated and outraged. Heirsch was among the innocent

113
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: that were brutally attacked while attending a music festival for

114
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: peace in Israel in October the seventh. He lost his

115
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: arm helping friends and strangers during the Hamas Savage massacre.

116
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: He had just turned twenty three. He had planned to

117
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: travel the world. I have gotten to Noah's parents, John

118
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: and Rachel. They have been courageous, wise, and said fast,

119
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: even as they have endured the unimaginable. They have been

120
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: relentless and irrepressible champions of their son and all of

121
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: the hostages held in these unconscionable conditions. I admire them

122
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: and grieve with them more deeply than words can express.

123
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: I know all Americans tonight will have them in their prayers,

124
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: just as Jill and I will. Then, he said, quote

125
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: I have worked tirelessly to bring their beloved her safely

126
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,239
Speaker 1: to them, and am heartbreaking by the news of his death.

127
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 1: It is as tragic as it is reprehensible. Make no mistake,

128
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: Hamas leaders will pay for these crimes, and we'll keep

129
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: working around the clock for a deal to secure the

130
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: release of the remaining hostages, even though it's very clear

131
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: that the Hamas terrorists have no intention of giving up hostages.

132
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: They would rather shoot them in the head. Biden, by

133
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: the way, the same guy that tells you he has

134
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: been working tirelessly to bring home these hostages from the terrorists,

135
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 1: has been keeping a quote low profile since dropping out

136
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: of the presidential race in late July, spending most of

137
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 1: his time on the beach.

138
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 2: It's not a joke.

139
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,199
Speaker 1: So you know more about Goldberg Poland he was an

140
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: actual dual US Israeli citizen. And this is the part

141
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 1: you need to understand about these terrorists, the same terrorists

142
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 1: that well, the Democratic Party is defending, the same terrorists

143
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: that have been defended on college campuses, the same terrorists

144
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: that are being defended by the radical mega donors like

145
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 1: the George sorosys and paying for these protesters to stop

146
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: traffic in America. This is the Democratic Party, Okay, They're

147
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: the ones defending these terrorists. So let me explain to

148
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: you what happened over the last forty eight hours. These

149
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: six Israeli hostages whose bodies were found in this area Rafa,

150
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: where again the Biden administration told Israel not to go,

151
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:57,679
Speaker 1: were found in a Hamas tunnel underneath Gaza Saturday, and

152
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: they had been shot in the head, they said quota quote.

153
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 2: In the last forty eight hours.

154
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 1: According to the autopsy reports released on Sunday, the Israeli

155
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: military identified the hostages and named all of them. They

156
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 1: said that Hamas murdered the hostages in the belief that

157
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 1: Israeli Defense Force soldiers were closing in. According to IDFs spokesmen,

158
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: the soldiers did not know the hostage's exact location, but

159
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: it rescued one hostage nearby last week and were fighting

160
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: above ground at the location. According to our initial assessment,

161
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 1: they were brutally murdered by Hamas terras shortly before we

162
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 1: reached them. All six hostages whose bodies were discovered and

163
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: recovered from Gaza on Sunday were found with gunshot wounds

164
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:49,479
Speaker 1: to their heads and other areas. Their autopsies showed, according

165
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,719
Speaker 1: to the posts mortem, they were executed no more than

166
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 1: forty eight hours before being found, and signs of neglect

167
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: and in captivity were found on all of their bodies.

168
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: One of the hostages who showed no signs of being bound.

169
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: No evidence of torture was found. However, the condition of

170
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: their bodies indicated systemic neglect, including a lack of hygiene,

171
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: over a long period of time they were tortured. Additionally,

172
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 1: indications were present of previous injuries sustained during their abduction,

173
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: which had been treated over time. Israel's army noted that

174
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: this is not the first time during the war that

175
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: Palestinian terras had murdered Israeli hostages to prevent their rescue. Notably,

176
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: in the infamous nineteen seventy two Munich Olympic massacre, terris

177
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: murdered Israeli athletes they had taken hostage as West German

178
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:56,079
Speaker 1: police attempted a rescue. Separately, on Sunday, three Israeli police

179
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: officers were murdered near a checkpoint in the West Bank

180
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: region by a drive by shooting by Palestinian terrorists as well.

181
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: Let me take a quick moment to tell you about

182
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,559
Speaker 1: an incredible company that stands up and fights for our

183
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: First and our Second Amendment rights. They fight for the

184
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: rights of unborn children, and they fight every time you

185
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: pay your bill to them, for our veterans, our first responders,

186
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: and our wounded warriors. I'm talking about Patriot Mobile. They're

187
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: the only conservative Christian wireless provider in the country, and

188
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: when you pay your bill to them every month, they

189
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: actually take about five percent of your bill and give

190
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: it back to the causes that I just mentioned at

191
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: no extra cost to you. Now, the reason why that's

192
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 1: incredible is because if you're with Big Mobile, you're actually

193
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: supporting and funding the left in a very big Way.

194
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: Big Mobile gives big donations to organizations that pay and

195
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 1: advocate for abortion on they give big donations to democratic

196
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 1: candidates and causes at the local, state, and national level.

197
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 1: Another reason why you should make the switch to a

198
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,760

218
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: So again, these are the people that this administration is

219
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: telling Israel to pull back from going after telling them

220
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: to not go into the exact area where they were

221
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: holding the hostages, and where they were they were clearly

222
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: going to kill the hostages. Thank goodness, they were able

223
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: to save one. Obviously. The sad part is they were

224
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 1: not able to save more than one of these hostages.

225
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: And this is the barbaric terrace. Now, this should not

226
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 1: surprise anyone. I also want to be clear about that.

227
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: I'm going to say that again, this should not surprise anyone.

228
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: Look at the barbaric attack on that day. Look at

229
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: the attack and how they killed innocent men, women and

230
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: children on the day they massacred the Jews. Why would

231
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 1: anyone think that you could then all of a sudden,

232
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: out of nowhere, start negotiating with these people that they

233
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: would be willing to have normal conversations with you. You

234
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: cannot assume that people that can plan and do an

235
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: attack the way that they did their attack in Israel

236
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: on the people there would somehow then be like, Okay,

237
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: now we're reasonable, we're saying and we are normal.

238
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 2: That is not how this is going to work.

239
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 3: Now.

240
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: The timing, by the way of all of this is

241
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: also one important aspect because you look at what just

242
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: happened with the Democratic Party when it comes to another

243
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: military fiasco. There was the Arlington Cemetery hoax, where Democrats

244
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: try to attack Donald Trump, Donald Trump fighting back with

245
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: the facts and now winning big time. This obviously is

246
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 1: another important story. Trump released a statement this weekend from

247
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 1: gold Star families as Harris disgracefully twisted Trump cemetery visit

248
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: into a political attack on Donald Trump. Former President Trump

249
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: released a statement from the gold Star families of the

250
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: thirteen fallen United States service members who were killed during

251
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 1: the Biden administration's withdrawal from Afghanistan. In a post on x,

252
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 1: Trump shared a joint statement from the family members a

253
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: long list of family members of the fallen. The families

254
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: wrote in their joint statement. The Vice President Kamala Harris's

255
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: statement labeling Trump's visit to Arlington National Cemetery to take

256
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: part in a rethlaying ceremony to honor the family's lost

257
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 1: loved ones and fallen service members quote a political stunt

258
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:15,439
Speaker 1: was false, hypocritical, and disrespectful. In the statement, the families

259
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 1: added that Harris had disgracefully twisted this sacred moment into

260
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 1: a political ploy for her Today. Gold Star families who

261
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: lost their loved ones in the Harris Biden administrations bought

262
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 1: withdrawal from Afghanistan released the following joint statement and heartfelt

263
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 1: video message in a direct response to Kamala Harris's false, hypocritical,

264
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: and disrespectful statement attacking President Trump, and then the statement

265
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: from the family began, we the families of the brave

266
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: service members who were tragically killed and the Abbygate bombing

267
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: are appalled by Vice President Harris's recent attempt to politicize

268
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 1: President Trump's visit to Arlington National Cemetery. The statement continued,

269
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 1: President Trump was invited by US the gold Star Families

270
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: to attend the solemn ceremony commemorating the three year anniversary

271
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:16,199
Speaker 1: of our children's deaths. He was there to honor their sacrifice.

272
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:20,679
Speaker 1: The Advice President Harris was disgracefully has disgracefully twisted this

273
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:25,719
Speaker 1: sacred moment into a political ploy. Trump responded the statement

274
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 1: from the families by thanking them for coming together as

275
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 1: one and for thanking him for attending the ceremony. At

276
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,679
Speaker 1: the ceremony and blasted Harris and President Joe Biden for

277
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 1: their incompetence and for being why the fallen service members

278
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 1: were no longer with us. Thank goodness that these family

279
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: members were willing to stand up and tell the truth

280
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,360
Speaker 1: about the evil that is the Harris administration and her

281
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 1: political campaign. I don't know what world she lives in,

282
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,679
Speaker 1: but when you start trying to use a anniversary of

283
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: fallen soldiers to take political shots, Donald Trump, who attended

284
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: that ceremony, you're a sick person.

285
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 2: You may have heard.

286
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: Also in another major story that is extremely important, that

287
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:17,439
Speaker 1: Brazil has now banned X from the entire country. And

288
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:22,439
Speaker 1: not only have they decided to shut it down. The

289
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:27,159
Speaker 1: Brazilian government blocking X formerly known as Twitter, they are

290
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:32,679
Speaker 1: now threatening to find its citizens eight thousand, nine hundred

291
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 1: dollars per day if you use the app for even

292
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: a single tweet or like or repost. Yes, the world

293
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: took a giantly forward into totalitarianism yesterday, as the Brazilian

294
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: government said, free speech, what's that we're banning X? In Brazil,

295
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,199
Speaker 1: and we're doing it because we don't like people being

296
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 1: able to say what they actually believe.

297
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 2: Senator Ted Cruz.

298
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:05,159
Speaker 1: And I talked extensively about this on our podcast, and

299
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 1: I want you to hear part of what he had

300
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: to say about this shocking attack on free speech coming

301
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: out of Brazil and what it could mean for other countries,

302
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: including the US. Senator I want to start, obviously with

303
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 1: what Brazil is doing. But one of the things I

304
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 1: love about this show is we can take time to

305
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 1: explain things that either people may not remember from school

306
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 1: or maybe they weren't even taught. And we have so

307
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 1: many people, they're younger that listen to this show. You

308
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 1: used a word describing what was happening in Brazil as

309
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:38,639
Speaker 1: to talitarianism unfolding.

310
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,959
Speaker 2: Let's explain that first and foremost to a listeners. What

311
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 2: does that mean?

312
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 1: Because there's a lot of words that we're that are

313
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,919
Speaker 1: thrown out there, with socialism and communism and Marxism. So

314
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 1: when you say to talitarianism, what are we describing so

315
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,400
Speaker 1: people understand setting the stage for this big issue.

316
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 4: Well, to talitarianism very simply is the government having control

317
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,919
Speaker 4: of you, having total control over your life. Having the

318
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 4: power of censorship, the power of arbitrary imprisonment, the power

319
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 4: to lock you up, to confiscate your property, to do

320
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 4: whatever they wish with you. And sadly, we've seen in

321
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 4: many communist nations. Communist nations are almost invariably to talitarian nations.

322
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 4: And we see that whether it was the Soviet Union

323
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 4: and the Gulag where they locked up anyone who dared

324
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 4: stand up against the government, or whether it was maw

325
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 4: and communist China, or whether it was communist Vietnam or

326
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 4: communist Cuba, to talitarian governments or oppressive governments where the

327
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 4: government has total power over you. And in Brazil, let

328
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,199
Speaker 4: me explain what's going on. I'm going to give some

329
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,360
Speaker 4: context because just seeing the headlines it's hard to know

330
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 4: what's happening.

331
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 3: So let me give you some background.

332
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:51,640
Speaker 4: So in twenty twenty two, there were elections in Brazil

333
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 4: and Brazil's electoral court granted a man named Alexander de Morez,

334
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,479
Speaker 4: who is the nations election chief and he's a Supreme

335
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 4: Court justice. They gave him the authority to issue unilateral

336
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 4: orders for the removal of online content deemed false or misleading.

337
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 4: And this was in the context where Lula, the radical

338
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 4: leftists whom Joe Biden and Kamala Harris Love was running

339
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 4: against conservative president Bolsonaro, and these orders were used to

340
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 4: target the supporters of President Bolsonaro. As a court justice,

341
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 4: de Morees had ordered investigations into Bolsonaro and had jailed

342
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 4: some of the president's supporters. So this is a battle

343
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 4: between what is now the previous president and the current

344
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 4: oppressive regime. De Morees has very strong support from the

345
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 4: leftist president today, Lula de Silva. In twenty twenty two,

346
00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:01,360
Speaker 4: Bolsonaro won and his supporters attacked brazil federal government buildings

347
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 4: in the capitol in Brazilia. After the attack, De Moores

348
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 4: ordered several social media platforms, including X, to block specific

349
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 4: accounts that he said had been involved in the planning,

350
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 4: saying that the companies would be fined if they failed

351
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 4: to comply. Over time, de Morees ordered more and more

352
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:26,360
Speaker 4: X accounts to be blocked, getting court orders to do so.

353
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 4: Over time, X refused to comply, and Elon Musk began

354
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 4: publicly criticizing de Morees. De Morees then opened a full

355
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 4: investigation into Elon Musk and into X, focused on quote

356
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:46,679
Speaker 4: the dissemination of defamatory fake news, and obstruction, incitement and

357
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 4: criminal organization. De Morees was very unhappy that X and

358
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:54,159
Speaker 4: Elon Musk were standing up to his orders. After months

359
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 4: of non compliance by X, de Morees threatened to arrest

360
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:03,959
Speaker 4: the company's Brazilian attorney and staff over the continuing defiance

361
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 4: of the law, and in response, Elon Musk closed X's

362
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 4: office in Brazil and eliminated all the staff. However, Brazilian

363
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 4: law requires that any company doing business in Brazil must

364
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:25,440
Speaker 4: have legal representation in the country. Therefore, on August twenty eighth,

365
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 4: De Moorrees ordered X to hire a new attorney to

366
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 4: represent it in Brazil within twenty four hours. And understand

367
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 4: this attorney that's being ordered to be hired. Once he's hired,

368
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 4: De Morees intends to throw the attorney in jail. That's

369
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 4: what this is all about. And if X did not

370
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 4: hire a new attorney, the site would be blocked. Elon

371
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 4: Musk refused to hire an attorney just to have the

372
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 4: guy thrown in jail, and De Moores ordered X blocked.

373
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 4: On August thirtieth, De Moores ordered internet service providers to

374
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 4: block access to X and threatened a daily fine of

375
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 4: about nine thousand dollars per day for users who bypass

376
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 4: the ban through virtual private networks, and De Morees also

377
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 4: froze Starlink's finances in Brazil. Starlink is SpaceX's satellite internet business.

378
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 4: To enforce the suspension against X, de Moorrees directed the

379
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 4: National Telecommunications Agency to take action. The order will remain

380
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 4: into effect until the platform complies with the decisions of

381
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 4: the Supreme Federal Court and pays accumulated fines totaling about

382
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:40,400
Speaker 4: three point three million dollars and appoints and representative in Brazil.

383
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 4: De Morees had also instructed both Apple and Google to

384
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 4: remove both X and VPN applications from their virtual stores,

385
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:53,719
Speaker 4: but he reversed this decision the same day, citing concerns

386
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 4: about potential quote unnecessary disruption. So where we are right now,

387
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 4: there is there's no X in Brazil, and this judge

388
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 4: is continuing to try to censor any criticism or any disagreement.

389
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 1: The most shocking part is the fact that they're saying

390
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: not just hey, we're gonna kick you out and we're

391
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 1: gonna shut it down and you can't use it, but

392
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,879
Speaker 1: they're saying eight nine hundred dollars a day if you

393
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 1: do use it in Brazil. That is an insane well

394
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:26,639
Speaker 1: it's a in sane amount of cash in America, but

395
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: it's really an unbelievable amount of money in Brazil.

396
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:34,120
Speaker 4: And understand that's not directed at Elon Musk. That's directed

397
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,239
Speaker 4: at an individual Brazilian. They're saying, if you just are

398
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 4: a citizen of Brazil and you go on to X,

399
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 4: they will find you almost nine thousand dollars a day.

400
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,640
Speaker 1: I go to the back to the bigger picture here,

401
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: and that is the warning. And it feels like we're

402
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 1: seeing a surge in this type of activity around the world.

403
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 1: Is that because when people do things like this, and

404
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: governments do things like this, and leaders do things like this,

405
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 1: others like, well they're doing it. So yeah, maybe I'll

406
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: take that play out of the playbook because it doesn't

407
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,160
Speaker 1: seem like we're head in the right direction here.

408
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 3: You're exactly right, and listen.

409
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 4: This podcast is dedicated to many things, but front and

410
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 4: center is the US Constitution and free speech. And we

411
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 4: had a pod a couple of weeks ago that focused

412
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 4: on the United Kingdom throwing a British citizen in jail.

413
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 4: Sentencing him a jail for twenty months for a Facebook post.

414
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 4: This is a pattern we're seeing across the globe of

415
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 4: government power being used to censor and silence views they

416
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,679
Speaker 4: don't like. And this is being done. Look, this is

417
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 4: the instinct we see in America with Joe Biden, with

418
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 4: Kamala Harris, and with congressional Democrats pressuring We discussed on

419
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:53,399
Speaker 4: this podcast a few episodes ago Mark Zuckerberg's letter explaining

420
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 4: that the Biden Whitehouse had pressured him to censor views

421
00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:00,080
Speaker 4: they don't like. This is a pattern, and it's a

422
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:04,479
Speaker 4: very dangerous pattern. And the more we see leftists getting

423
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 4: away with abusing government power to silence dissent, the worse

424
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 4: it gets because it encourages everyone else. And this is

425
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 4: ultimately a threat to free speech in America. Let me

426
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:19,880
Speaker 4: point out, among other things, X is an American company.

427
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,639
Speaker 4: Where is the administration? Where is Why is Joe Biden

428
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 4: not denounced this atrocious violation of free speech? Why has

429
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 4: Kamala Harris been utterly silent? Why has the entirety of

430
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 4: the executive branch been silent? And the reason is they're

431
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 4: happy they want X band. And I got to say,

432
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 4: I think Kamala Harris wishes she could ban X here

433
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 4: because the left today, you know, been there was a

434
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 4: time when democrats defended free speech. Today more and more

435
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 4: democrats are very happy trying to silence anyone who disagrees

436
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 4: with them.

437
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: You also look at just this and the again, it's

438
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: a wake up call, I think, as we describe it here,

439
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 1: and Michael Sellenberger had this to say about the world

440
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 1: taking this giant leap into forward into detalitarianism in Brazil,

441
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 1: and I want to play part of that because I

442
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 1: think it's important what he had to say.

443
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 5: Budi. It's Mike Schellenberger for public. The world took a

444
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 5: giant leap forward into totalitarianism yesterday as the Brazilian government

445
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 5: blocked X formerly Twitter and threatened to find its citizens

446
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 5: eighty nine hundred dollars per day if they use it.

447
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 5: Brazil's the sixth largest nation by population in the world,

448
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 5: and it now joins North Korea, China, and Iran the

449
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 5: list of countries that have banned X. It's the twelfth

450
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 5: largest economy in the world in a superpower of the

451
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 5: Global South. It doesn't matter whether or not you care

452
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 5: about Brazil. It's totalitarianism is at risk of spreading around

453
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 5: the world, and yet neither Joe Biden, nor Vice President

454
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 5: Kamala Harris, nor anyone else in the US government has

455
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 5: denounced the censorship. That's probably because Biden, Harris and the

456
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:06,479
Speaker 5: Democrats all support the censorship and have been directly funding

457
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 5: it for years now. Of course, there is authentic demand

458
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 5: for censorship from within Brazil, and it is ultimately up

459
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 5: to the Brazilian people to reverse its nation's descent into detalitarianism.

460
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 5: Brazil's powerful government funded news media corporations have been urging

461
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 5: censorship in part because it benefits President Lula's ruling Workers

462
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 5: Party and them directly. It's now up to Senate President

463
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 5: Drigo Pacheco to impeach the Supreme Court justice turned dictator

464
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 5: Aleschandra Jimais. At the same time, the Biden administration and

465
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 5: Democrats have played an influential role in instigating the censorship

466
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 5: in Brazil. The FBI went to Brazil and gave it

467
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 5: Supreme Court Justice's advice on how to censor its population.

468
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 5: The US government has been funding many of the NGOs

469
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 5: in Brazil that have been demanding censorship since the election

470
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 5: of a populous president there in twenty eighteen, and when

471
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 5: I testified before Congress in May of this year, the

472
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 5: Democrats on the committee and their witness all defended Brazil's censorship,

473
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 5: and Pacheco yesterday affirmed his support from Maris. The US government,

474
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 5: after the election of the populist president Jerob Bolsonaro in

475
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 5: twenty eighteen, funded these pro censorship organizations which have been

476
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 5: demanding censorship. Maris yesterday openly defended censorship to prevent extremist

477
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 5: populist groups from coming to power. As United States Federal

478
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 5: Communications Commissioner Brendan Carr noted yesterday, that's a direct violation

479
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 5: of the Brazilian constitution, which explicitly protects political speech. As such,

480
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 5: the tutulitarian takeover of Brazil is a model for what

481
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 5: the Democrats and the legacy news media went for the

482
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:47,719
Speaker 5: whole world. Pro censorship scholars at Stanford and Harvard, Democrats

483
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 5: in Congress and the US news media have long recognized

484
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 5: that the First Amendment is an obstacle to their plans,

485
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 5: and so they have supported censorship efforts by nations around

486
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 5: the world with weaker free speech protections like Brazil, Britain,

487
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 5: Australia and the European Union. They're looking for them to

488
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 5: censor and even block X. We need to grow our

489
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 5: global free speech movement because if we don't stop the

490
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 5: spread of totalitarianism over there, it will make it harder

491
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 5: for us to stop it over here. I urge my

492
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 5: Brazilian friends to stay on X. Everyone knows that it

493
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 5: would be extremely difficult from Morice to enforce his insane decree,

494
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 5: much less fairly and equally. Proof of this comes from

495
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 5: the fact that the Brazilian government and the ruling Workers

496
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 5: Party are still using X, which means that they are

497
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 5: also using VPNs to illegally evade their own ban. Brazil

498
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 5: is thus not just a dictatorship but a lawless one.

499
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 5: Its leaders are behaving like the hypocritical pigs in George

500
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 5: Orwell's animal farm. Now, the good news is that Brazilian politicians,

501
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 5: including Senator Eduardo Jigau, Congressman Marcel van Hatten, and Vice

502
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 5: Governor of Mina Curis Matteos Simoy's, are all resisting the

503
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 5: ban and posting on X. I never imagine myself practicing

504
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 5: and propagating civil disobedience set simoins but censorship cannot be tolerated.

505
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 1: Ever, Senator, there's a lot to unpack there, and there's

506
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 1: a lot of accusations, which obviously I think are backed

507
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 1: up in facts that this administration not only is like

508
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: sending our government officials down to Brazil, but we're advocating

509
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 1: in supporting this type of reaction from the people in

510
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 1: government in Brazil. That right there, on its face is

511
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: just total insanity.

512
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 4: It is and part of the reason why I'm glad

513
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 4: we played that that clip from Schellenberger.

514
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 3: You know, Schollenberger is an independent journalist.

515
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 4: He's been been very vocal and effective taking on some

516
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 4: of the some of the extremes of the of the

517
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 4: radical left on the Green New Deal climate alarmist. But

518
00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:00,479
Speaker 4: also he was integral in highlighting the Twitter files, and

519
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 4: he was one of the individuals who went into great

520
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 4: detail when Elon Musk opened up how Twitter had been

521
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:11,360
Speaker 4: actively censoring speech and doing so at the behest of

522
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:15,240
Speaker 4: the US government. Schellenberger did a very effective job laying

523
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 4: that out, chapter and verse, and and I wanted us

524
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 4: to play that because I think he did a very

525
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:25,919
Speaker 4: effective job of tying what's happening in Brazil. People might say, well, look,

526
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,359
Speaker 4: I don't live in Brazil. Why do I care?

527
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:29,280
Speaker 3: Well?

528
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,759
Speaker 4: Number One, Brazil is a very important country and it's

529
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:33,840
Speaker 4: the largest country in Latin America.

530
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 3: This is our hemisphere.

531
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:40,760
Speaker 4: It impacts the United States significantly what happens in Central

532
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 4: and South America. But secondly is the interconnection. This is

533
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 4: foreshadowing where the American left wants to go some of

534
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 4: the facts that the Schellenberger laid out. The FBI went

535
00:34:55,600 --> 00:35:00,399
Speaker 4: to Brazil and coached the Brazilian government on how to

536
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 4: censor their opponents.

537
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:07,359
Speaker 1: That's stunning, which is insane, and that be our tax

538
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 1: dours that are paying for that trip.

539
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 4: Well, not only that, but our tax dollars are funding NGOs,

540
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 4: non governmental organizations that are pushing for censorship. The modern

541
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 4: left has decided censorship is a good, good thing. And

542
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 4: by the way, they only censor those they disagree with.

543
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:29,919
Speaker 4: They don't censor leftists, they don't censor Marxists, they don't

544
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 4: censor communists, they don't censor those on the left. They

545
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 4: censor anyone who stands up to oppression. And understand this

546
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 4: also in the broader context. So Bolsonaro, when he was

547
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 4: President of Brazil, Brazil made a hard pivot towards the

548
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:49,240
Speaker 4: United States. He wanted to be friends with the United States.

549
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 4: I went and I had dinner with Bolsonaro. He came

550
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 4: to the United States, came to Texas. At dinner with

551
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 4: him in Dallas. He pivoted very much, wanting Brazil to

552
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 4: be an ally of America, for US to do more

553
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 4: trade and commerce with them, for them to stand with

554
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 4: US on foreign policy. That's unequivocally good. And Joe Biden

555
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:10,319
Speaker 4: and Kamala Harris came into office and they hated him

556
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 4: because Bolsadaro was close to Trump and anyone who was

557
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:17,359
Speaker 4: nice to Trump, they hated. If you like Trump, they

558
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 4: hate you. And it's bizarre. They define their entire foreign

559
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 4: policy by the way, whether you liked or hated Trump.

560
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 4: Iran hated Trump, so they love Iran. Bolsonaro loved Trump,

561
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 4: so they they hated him. But the Biden Harris administration

562
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 4: undermined Bolsadaro, constantly did everything they could to effectively cheer

563
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 4: on Lula, and we now have a radical leftist who

564
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 4: hates America as the president of Brazil. He's engaging into

565
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:50,719
Speaker 4: talitarian censorship, and the Biden White House, I believe, is

566
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 4: cheering him on.

567
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 1: Make sure you share this podcast with your family and

568
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 1: your friends. Please share it on social media so that

569
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 1: others will hear what I'm exposing. And I'll see you

570
00:36:59,080 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 1: back here tomorrow
