1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,600 Speaker 1: Time, time, time, Luck and load. 2 00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:10,600 Speaker 2: Michael vari show is on the air. What you represent 3 00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:14,360 Speaker 2: to them, it's freedom. What the hell's were with freedom? 4 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:16,680 Speaker 2: And that's what it's all about. Oh yeah, that's right, 5 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:18,360 Speaker 2: that's what it's all about, all right. 6 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:23,160 Speaker 3: But talking about it and being it, it's two different things. 7 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:26,479 Speaker 4: Well, he was standing in a country where free speech 8 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,520 Speaker 4: was weaponized to conduct a genocide. 9 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,240 Speaker 5: The free speech was not used to conduct a genocide. 10 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 5: The genocide was conducted by an authoritarian Nazi regime that 11 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 5: happened to also be genocidal because they hated Jews, and 12 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 5: they hated minorities, and they hated those that they had 13 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 5: a list of people they hated, but primarily the Jews. 14 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:44,879 Speaker 5: There was no free speech in Nazi Germany. 15 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:45,560 Speaker 2: There was none. 16 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 5: There was also no opposition in Nazi Germany. They were 17 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 5: a sole and only party that governed that country. So 18 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:52,560 Speaker 5: that's not an accurate reflection of history. 19 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 2: They may take a live. 20 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 6: Duke, duke, and unfortunately, when I look at Europe today, 21 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 6: it's sometimes not so clear what happened to some of 22 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 6: the Cold Wars winners. I looked to Brussels, where you 23 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 6: commissioned commissars warned citizens that they intend to shut down 24 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 6: social media during times of civil unrest the moment they spot. 25 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 2: What they've judged to be quote hateful content. 26 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 6: Or to this very country where police have carried out 27 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 6: raids against citizen and suspected of posting anti feminist comments 28 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 6: online as part of quote combating misogyny on the Internet, 29 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:08,360 Speaker 6: a day of action. 30 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:09,639 Speaker 2: I looked to Sweden. 31 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,959 Speaker 6: We're two weeks ago the government convicted a Christian activist 32 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 6: for participating in Kuran burnings that resulted in his friend's murder, 33 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 6: and as the judge in his case chillingly noted, Sweden's 34 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,919 Speaker 6: laws to supposedly protect free expression do not in fact 35 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 6: grant and I'm quoting a free pass to do or 36 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 6: say anything without risking offending. 37 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 2: The group that holds that belief. 38 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 6: This last October, just a few months ago, the Scottish 39 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 6: government began distributing letters to citizens whose houses lay within 40 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:44,080 Speaker 6: so called safe access zones, warning them that even private 41 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:48,359 Speaker 6: prayer within their own homes may amount to breaking the law. Naturally, 42 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 6: the government urged readers to report any fellow citizens suspected 43 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 6: guilty of thought crime. In Britain and across Europe, free speech. 44 00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:17,920 Speaker 2: I fear is in retreats. What a florious time it is. Friends. 45 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 3: My youngest son, Crockett, we celebrated his eighteenth birthday yesterday, 46 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 3: it was the day of his actual birthday, and we 47 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 3: celebrated my father his eighty fifth birthday. 48 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 2: I'm so lucky to have him. 49 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 3: We lost my mom a few months ago at only 50 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 3: seventy nine. 51 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 2: But I'm grateful for every day, as we should be. 52 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 3: You know, I'd like to say we have a great 53 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 3: show for you every day, because our show is not 54 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 3: dependent on good news in order to be fun, in 55 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 3: order to be useful, in order to be informative. But 56 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 3: there is a lot of good news to share. A 57 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 3: lot has happened over the last few days. We are 58 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 3: still awaiting the Cash Pattel confirmation. He was voted out 59 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 3: of the Senate committee on Thursday. The Democrats are stonewalling that, 60 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 3: and frankly, I think the Republicans are contributing to it. 61 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 3: They broke early rather than confirming him before the weekend, 62 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:24,479 Speaker 3: but they found time over the weekend to have a meal, 63 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 3: a sit down meal in person with Vladimir Zelensky. Zelensky 64 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 3: is not dealing from a position of strength any longer. 65 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 3: President Trump wants a deal done, and Zelensky demanding this 66 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 3: and that is going to have to stop because he's 67 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 3: not going to get it because we're not fighting his 68 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 3: war anymore, we're not funding it. 69 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 2: It's not happening. We've had enough, and he's not winning 70 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 2: the war. 71 00:04:55,160 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 3: And anyone who understands how the Russians work is they 72 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:05,839 Speaker 3: win such wars by attrition, and that goes back eighty years. 73 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 2: They win these eighty five years for that many. 74 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,679 Speaker 3: They win these wars by attrition because they will literally 75 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 3: throw every man in their country at the war. They 76 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,280 Speaker 3: don't care that they become canon fodder. They will grab 77 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 3: men from other countries and put them in a uniform 78 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 3: and send them in to be shot. 79 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 2: They don't care. 80 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 3: They will grind out an awful, brutal war until eventually 81 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 3: they've got the numbers. It's like a chess game. You're 82 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 3: one piece up, you just start trading pieces until you 83 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,839 Speaker 3: get down and they're left with one less than you, 84 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 3: and you defeat them. I think we're going to see 85 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,479 Speaker 3: an end to the war in very short order. I 86 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 3: think we're days, not weeks from an end to the war. 87 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 3: And I don't think that that's what Zelenski wants because 88 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 3: I think Lensky it's much like Black Lives Matter, where 89 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:08,600 Speaker 3: racism is his calling card. Racism is how he, you know, 90 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 3: buys his expensive houses. 91 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 2: He needs there to be conflict, and it's not going 92 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:15,159 Speaker 2: to happen. 93 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 3: Putin is ready to be finished, and President Trump is welcome, 94 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 3: is ready to welcome him back into the community of nations. 95 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 3: Forgive and forget and move on, because Russia is the future, 96 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 3: not Ukraine. 97 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 2: Russia is the partner we need. 98 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 3: Why you may ask, because a strong Russian alliance with 99 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:43,920 Speaker 3: the United States weakens China. And never forget that China 100 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:49,359 Speaker 3: is our real enemy in Canada. Over the weekend, Team 101 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 3: USA defeating Team Canada soundly three to one when the 102 00:06:54,880 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 3: Canadian fans booed our national anthem within nine seconds of 103 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:02,600 Speaker 3: that game opening. 104 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 2: There were three fights. 105 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 3: We proceeded to whip their butts in the fights and 106 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 3: in the match, while Justin Trudeau watched on. Sadly, Bedel 107 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 3: Castro would have been embarrassed. President Trump was at the 108 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 3: Daytona five hundred and the love affair continued. Boy did 109 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 3: they ever cheer for him and the Daytona five hundred 110 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 3: giving him the mic to address the drivers. He kept 111 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 3: it brief, he kept it cool, calling himself your favorite president. 112 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 3: He had to make news, after all. But the highlight 113 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 3: of the weekend actually occurred just before the weekend, the 114 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 3: greatest speech by a vice president in my lifetime. J. D. 115 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 2: Vance went to Munich and. 116 00:07:53,600 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 3: He delivered to Europe a strong, forceful, reasoned American approach. 117 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 3: America is back in Europe. It's time that you should 118 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 3: be as well. You've been overrun by the Middle East, 119 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 3: you've been overrun by North Africa, you have been overrun 120 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 3: by Islam. You have destroyed free speech and freedom in 121 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 3: your country, and it's time to change. 122 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 2: We'll talk about that and a lot more. Went up 123 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 2: the Michael Berry Show Michael Berry Show to deliver the 124 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 2: news we all feared. 125 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 3: And she said, I don't want to be here with you, 126 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 3: and weren't Rush to be here with you, But he 127 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 3: loved you, and you meant the world to him, and 128 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 3: we're so grateful for what you did for him. Many 129 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 3: of you were Rush babies growing up, and if you 130 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 3: were a Rush baby, and today the four year anniversary 131 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:56,320 Speaker 3: of his passing, instead of thinking about yourself and your 132 00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 3: own growth and development as a Rush. 133 00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 2: Baby. 134 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 3: If you're lucky enough that the parents who was driving 135 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:07,439 Speaker 3: put Rush Limbaugh on to expose Rush to you, it's 136 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 3: a great opportunity to pick up the phone and say 137 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 3: Mom or Dad, you know I realized a lot of 138 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,679 Speaker 3: the political opinions I have or because of Rush Limbaugh, 139 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 3: because of you, because I was sitting in the back 140 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 3: seat and you were playing Rush Limbaugh, and I've never 141 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 3: thought about the fact that I should thank you for that. 142 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 3: You could have been playing some vapid music. You could 143 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 3: have I mean, you could have just been playing the classics, 144 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 3: or you could have been playing something to keep me happy. 145 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 2: But instead you were engaged. 146 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 3: In the affairs of our nation, and I was picking 147 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 3: up the crumbs that were falling down from the table. 148 00:09:54,760 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 3: And from that I have developed into an independent, self 149 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 3: reliant person because of the daily education I got riding 150 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:11,680 Speaker 3: in the backseat with you. It is a great opportunity today, 151 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 3: four years after his passing. There's a lot of news today, 152 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 3: and it will be here all week and we'll get 153 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 3: to it. But I decided to take one segment, and 154 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 3: this the second segment of the show, so Prime Real Estate. 155 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 3: This is when our largest listening audience of the entire 156 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 3: show will be here. And what I decided to do was, 157 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 3: rather than as I did this morning, play the clip 158 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 3: of Catherine telling us that Rush had passed, I thought 159 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 3: instead that as the leader of a movement, and I 160 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,079 Speaker 3: don't think that we would have had Trump in twenty sixteen, 161 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,560 Speaker 3: which meant we wouldn't have had Trump twenty twenty four. 162 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 3: I don't think we would have had the movement in 163 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 3: its current form if it hadn't been for Rush Limball 164 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 3: in the daily University that the Mayor of Realville was 165 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 3: delivering every single day. And so what I thought I 166 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 3: would do now is share one of my favorite moments 167 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 3: from Rush Limbaugh show. And this is really what make 168 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 3: America Great Again is about, and that is embracing American exceptionalism. 169 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 1: What American exceptionalism is not. It is not that we 170 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:26,680 Speaker 1: are better people. It is not that we are superior people. 171 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: It is not that we are smarter people. It is 172 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:35,199 Speaker 1: not that God loves us and hates everybody else. It 173 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 1: is not that God prefers us. It is not that 174 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 1: God doesn't prefer anybody else. American exceptionalism has nothing to 175 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: do with anything but freedom and liberty. Here is what 176 00:11:54,200 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 1: American exceptionalism is by the way, This is one of 177 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 1: the fundamental reasons why I got so excited when presented 178 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 1: with the idea of writing a book about the truth 179 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 1: of American history in stages and various elements for young people. 180 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:21,079 Speaker 1: My book Rush Revere in the Brave Pilgrims is all 181 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 1: about the exceptionalism of those people. So what is it, Well, 182 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:31,680 Speaker 1: if you know the history of the world, read your Bible, 183 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 1: read whatever historical account of humanity you hold dear, and 184 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 1: what you'll read around is human tyranny. You'll read of bondage, 185 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 1: you'll read of slavery. The vast majority of the people, 186 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 1: the vast majority of the human beings who have lived 187 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 1: and breathed and walked this planet have lived under the 188 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: tyranny of despots. The vast majority, it isn't even close. 189 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 1: The vast majority of the people of this world since 190 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:16,320 Speaker 1: the beginning of time have never known the kind of 191 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 1: liberty and freedom that's taken for granted every day in 192 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 1: this country. Most people have lived in abject fear of 193 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 1: their leaders. Most people have lived in abject fear of whoever. 194 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:36,200 Speaker 2: Held power over them. 195 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 1: Most people in the world have not had plentiful axes, 196 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 1: access to food. 197 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 2: And clean water. 198 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:50,560 Speaker 1: It was a major daily undertaking for most people to 199 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: come up with just those two basic things. 200 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 2: Just surviving. 201 00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 1: Was the primary occupation of most people in the world. 202 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 1: The history of the world is dictatorship, tyranny, whatever you 203 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: want to call it, subjugation of populations. And then along 204 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 1: came the United States of America. Pilgrims were the first 205 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 1: to come here seeking freedom from all of that. They 206 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: were oppressed because of their religion. They were told they 207 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: had to believe in the King and his God, whatever 208 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 1: it was, or they would be imprisoned. They led an 209 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: exodus from Europe to this country. 210 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 2: If people of the same. 211 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 1: Mindset, they simply wanted to escape the tyranny of their 212 00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 1: ordinary lives. This country was founded for the first time 213 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 1: in human history, a government and country was founded on 214 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 1: the belief that leaders serve the population. This country the 215 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 1: first in history. And this is the exception ex cept 216 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 1: except the exception to the rule is what American exceptionalism is. 217 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 1: And because of this liberty and freedom that our country exists, 218 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 1: because the founders recognized it comes from God. It's part 219 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 1: of the natural yearning of the human spirit. It is 220 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 1: not granted by a government. It's not granted by Putin, 221 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 1: It's not granted by Obama or any other human being. 222 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 1: We are created with the natural yearning to be free, 223 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 1: and it is other men and leaders throughout human history 224 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 1: who have suppressed that and imprisoned people for seeking it. 225 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 1: The US is the first time in the history of 226 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 1: the world where a government. 227 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 2: Was organized with a constitution. 228 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 1: Laying out the rules that the individual was supreme and domnina. 229 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 1: And that is what led to the US becoming the 230 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 1: greatest country ever because it unleashed people to be the 231 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 1: best they could be, unlike it had ever happened. 232 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 2: That's American exceptionalist. Listened to the Michael Berry Show podcast 233 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 2: If You Dare. Vice President JD. 234 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 3: Vance, in his first major address to an international audience, 235 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 3: arrived in Munich. 236 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,200 Speaker 2: First time you traveled to Munich. 237 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 3: If you're a redneck like me, you see that the 238 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 3: sign says munchin or munchin, And I suspect you probably 239 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 3: made some jokes out of that, because I certainly did. 240 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 2: And did he ever do us proud? 241 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 3: He called out European countries for violations of free speech, and. 242 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 6: Unfortunately, when I look at Europe today, it's sometimes not 243 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 6: so clear what happened to some of the Cold Wars winners. 244 00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 6: I looked to Brussels, where EU commissioned commissaris warnce citizens 245 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 6: that they intend to shut down social media during times 246 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:06,439 Speaker 6: of civil unrest the moment they spot what they've judged 247 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:10,640 Speaker 6: to be quote, hateful content. Or to this very country 248 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 6: where police have carried out raids against citizens suspected of 249 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:18,160 Speaker 6: posting anti feminist comments online as part of quote combating 250 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,880 Speaker 6: misogyny on the Internet a day of action. I looked 251 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,439 Speaker 6: to Sweden, or two weeks ago, the government convicted a 252 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:28,879 Speaker 6: Christian activist for participating in Kuran burnings that resulted in 253 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 6: his friend's murder, and as the judge in his case 254 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 6: chillingly noted, Sweden's laws to supposedly protect free expression do 255 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 6: not in fact grant and I'm quoting a free pass 256 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 6: to do or say anything without risking offending the group 257 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:49,120 Speaker 6: that holds that belief. And perhaps most concerningly, I look 258 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 6: to our very dear friends the United Kingdom, where the 259 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 6: backslide away from conscience rights has placed the basic liberties 260 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:58,400 Speaker 6: of religious Britons in particular in the crosshairs. A little 261 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,439 Speaker 6: Over two years ago, the British govern charged Adam Smith Connor, 262 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,639 Speaker 6: a fifty one year old physiotherapist and an Army veteran, 263 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:09,439 Speaker 6: with the heinous crime of standing fifty meters from an 264 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 6: abortion clinic and silently praying for three minutes, not obstructing anyone, 265 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,440 Speaker 6: not interacting with anyone, just silently. 266 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 2: Praying on his own. 267 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,399 Speaker 6: After British law enforcement spotted him and demanded to know 268 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 6: what he was praying for, Adam replied simply, it was 269 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 6: on behalf of the unborn son he and his former 270 00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 6: girlfriend had aboarded years before. 271 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 2: Now, the officers were not moved. 272 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 6: Adam was found guilty of breaking the government's new buffer 273 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,360 Speaker 6: zones law, which criminalized a silent prayer and other actions 274 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,679 Speaker 6: that could influence a person's decision within two hundred meters 275 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 6: of an abortion facility. He was sentenced to pay thousands 276 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 6: of pounds in legal costs to the prosecution. Now, I 277 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:49,439 Speaker 6: wish I could say that this was a fluke, a 278 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,120 Speaker 6: one off, crazy example of a badly written law being 279 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,639 Speaker 6: enacted against a single person. 280 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 2: But no. 281 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 6: This last October, just a few months ago, the Scottish 282 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,200 Speaker 6: government began distributing letters to citizens whose houses lay within 283 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 6: so called safe access sones, warning them that even private 284 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:10,400 Speaker 6: prayer within their own homes may amount to breaking the law. Naturally, 285 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,680 Speaker 6: the government urged readers to report any fellow citizens suspected 286 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 6: guilty of thought crime. In Britain and across Europe, free speech. 287 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,879 Speaker 3: I fear is in retreat, and we will look at 288 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:26,680 Speaker 3: a sixty minutes embedded reporter raiding a fellow's home for 289 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 3: online commentary. They learned nothing from Nazism, because that's what 290 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:37,640 Speaker 3: this smacks up. The Trump administration is returning common sense 291 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 3: to America, and JD. Vance is trying to return common 292 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:42,880 Speaker 3: sense to Europe, where. 293 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,160 Speaker 6: At the point of course that the situation has gotten 294 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 6: so bad that this December, Romania straight up canceled the 295 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 6: results of a presidential election based on the flimsy suspicions 296 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 6: of an intelligence agency and enormous pressure from its continental neighbors. Now, 297 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:01,640 Speaker 6: as I understand it, the argument was that Russian disinformation 298 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 6: had infected the Romanian elections. But I'd ask my European 299 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:07,639 Speaker 6: friends to have some perspective. 300 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:09,920 Speaker 2: You can believe it's wrong for. 301 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 6: Russia to buy social media advertisements to influence your elections. 302 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,400 Speaker 6: We certainly do you can condemn it on the world 303 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 6: stage even But if your democracy can be destroyed with 304 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 6: a few hundred thousand dollars of digital advertising from a 305 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 6: foreign country, then it wasn't very strong to begin with. 306 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,400 Speaker 3: He then threw in a little dig at the Europeans 307 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,639 Speaker 3: for that little twit, Greta Thunberg. You remember her, yet 308 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,399 Speaker 3: you will come to us, young people, for hope. 309 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 2: How dare you? Here was his line. And it's a beauty. 310 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,879 Speaker 6: And expressing opinions is it election interference? Even when people 311 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,200 Speaker 6: express views outside your own country, and even when those 312 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 6: people are very influential. 313 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,400 Speaker 2: And trust me, I say this with all humor. 314 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 6: If American democracy can survive ten years of Thunberg's scolding, 315 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 6: you guys can survive a few months of Elon Musk. 316 00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 6: But what German democracy, What no democracy, American, German or 317 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 6: European will survive is telling millions of voters that their 318 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:08,680 Speaker 6: thoughts and concerns, their aspirations they're pleased for relief, are 319 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:12,119 Speaker 6: invalid or unworthy of even being considered. 320 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 3: Europe is in big trouble, folks, They're in big trouble. 321 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 3: But America's in trouble as well. CBS's Margaret Brennan hosted 322 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 3: Marco Rubio and Face the Nation. And this is after 323 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 3: they were shellacked in November. And make no mistake that 324 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 3: Democrats were defeated in November as well. This is the 325 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,679 Speaker 3: same woman who mute advances microphone during his debate with 326 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 3: Hansy Tim Walls. You remember Margaret Brennan. Well, you won't 327 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 3: believe who and what she blamed for the Holocaust. 328 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 4: Well, he was standing in a country where free speech 329 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 4: was weaponized to conduct a genocide, and he met with 330 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 4: the head of a political party that has far right 331 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 4: views and some historic ties to extreme groups. The context 332 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,719 Speaker 4: of that was changing the tone of it. 333 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 2: And you know that. That's the sense I disagree with 334 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 2: you specifically about all the right now. 335 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 5: I have to disagree with you. The free speech was 336 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 5: not used to conduct a genocide. The genocide was conducted 337 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 5: by an authoritarian Nazi regime that happened to also be 338 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 5: genocidal because they hated Jews, and they hated minorities, and 339 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:17,640 Speaker 5: they hated those that They've had a list of people 340 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,120 Speaker 5: they hated, but primarily the Jews. There was no free 341 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:21,199 Speaker 5: speech in Nazi Germany. 342 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:21,879 Speaker 2: There was none. 343 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,199 Speaker 5: There was also no opposition in Nazi Germany, they were 344 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 5: a sole and only party that governed that country. So 345 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 5: that's not an accurate reflection of history. I also think 346 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,399 Speaker 5: it's wrong. Again, I go back to the point of 347 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 5: his speech. The point of his speech was basically that 348 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 5: there is an erosion in free speech and in tolerance 349 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 5: or opposing points of view within Europe. And that's of 350 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 5: concern because that is eroding. It's not an erosion of 351 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 5: your military capabilities, that's not an erosion of your economic standing. 352 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,199 Speaker 5: That's an erosion of the actual values that bind us 353 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,359 Speaker 5: together in the Transatlantic Union that everybody talks about. And 354 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 5: I think allies and friends and partners that have worked 355 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 5: together now for eighty years should be able to speak 356 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 5: frankly to one another in open forms without being offended, insulted, 357 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 5: or And I spoke to foreign ministers from multiple countries 358 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 5: throughout Europe. 359 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:05,440 Speaker 2: Many of them probably didn't like the speech. 360 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 5: I didn't agree with it, but they were continuing to 361 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 5: engage with us on all sorts of issues that unite us. 362 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,120 Speaker 5: So again, at the end of the day, I think 363 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 5: that people give all kay. That is a form in 364 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 5: which you're supposed to be inviting people to give speeches, 365 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,200 Speaker 5: not basically a chorus where everyone is saying the exact 366 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,200 Speaker 5: same thing. That's not always going to be the case 367 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,399 Speaker 5: when it's a collection of democracies where leaders have the 368 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,920 Speaker 5: right and the privilege to speak their minds and forms 369 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 5: such as these. 370 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,160 Speaker 2: So this is the battle we have to fight, friends, 371 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 2: this is it. 372 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 3: We've got people who are blaming the Holocaust on too 373 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,920 Speaker 3: much free speech, and in current Germany right now they 374 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 3: are raiding the homes of people who criticize people online. 375 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 3: I'll play this for you in the next segment. It's 376 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,919 Speaker 3: very important that we all understand this central premise. Free 377 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:56,959 Speaker 3: speech is not a protection of pretty speech or complementary speech. 378 00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 3: The reason speech has to be protected is it is offensive. 379 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:08,160 Speaker 3: Is because it upsets the leadership or the conventional wisdom 380 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:09,399 Speaker 3: or the cat lady. 381 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,399 Speaker 2: That's why we have to protect it. 382 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,639 Speaker 3: The First Amendment to the Constitution was so very important 383 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:22,679 Speaker 3: because human beings have a totalitarian, authoritarian streak about them, 384 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,959 Speaker 3: and silencing speech is what you do to silence criticism. 385 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 3: You lived through COVID, you know what happened. That's not 386 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 3: free speech was not the reason for the Holocaust. I 387 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:35,960 Speaker 3: agree to believe that the worst thing that ever happened 388 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 3: to America was slavery the Michael Berry Show, And the 389 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 3: best thing that ever happened to slavery was America and 390 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 3: the Republican Party. You all forget how big the Hoff 391 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:51,200 Speaker 3: was in Germany, and you forget two things about Hoff 392 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:57,639 Speaker 3: that you've forgotten, well at least one of them. One 393 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 3: is that moment you found out how big he was 394 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 3: in Germany, like superstar status in Germany, and thinking it 395 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:13,879 Speaker 3: is so random. The other one was him drunkenly eating 396 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 3: the burder off the floor. 397 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,159 Speaker 2: Now, this will cause. 398 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 3: Some of you to judge me, but for most guys 399 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,879 Speaker 3: and some girls, we've all had that moment. 400 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 2: And I'm not too proud to tell you. 401 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 3: We've all had that moment where what started as a 402 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:36,440 Speaker 3: celebratory evening now don't get behind the wheel and all 403 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:38,159 Speaker 3: that and not something to be proud of. It's not 404 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,360 Speaker 3: a good long term health strategy. But we've all had 405 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:45,120 Speaker 3: that moment. Maybe my fiftieth birthday might have been mine. 406 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:49,480 Speaker 3: We were at home. You know, they start going down fast. 407 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,679 Speaker 3: I don't do shots. People who do shots get in 408 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 3: that state a lot. I don't do shots for that 409 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 3: very reason. Nobody wakes up the next morning going, man, 410 00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:01,440 Speaker 3: I wish i'd done more. Shots would have been great. 411 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 3: Shots are a way of saying, let's do something really dumb, 412 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,440 Speaker 3: but let's all get excited about it, so we can 413 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 3: force ourselves to do something that's only going to result 414 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 3: in us being incredibly sick and making bad decisions and 415 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:18,200 Speaker 3: probably passing out. 416 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:19,639 Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, let's all do it. 417 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 3: Here we go, Yeah, more and more shots, more shots. 418 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 2: Let's all jump off the cliff together like livings. 419 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:31,200 Speaker 3: Well, if you remember the video of David Hasselhof eating 420 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 3: the burger off the floor, the saddest part about that 421 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:40,479 Speaker 3: is his daughter is the one who filmed out. And 422 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 3: to me, that is the greatest violation of a personal 423 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 3: relationship you could make. She brought shame on a man 424 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,480 Speaker 3: whose brand is everything. 425 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:55,600 Speaker 2: What a petulant. 426 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,359 Speaker 3: You know, there was a guy a few weeks ago 427 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 3: who was saying he was scared after President Trump pardoned 428 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 3: the Jay sixers. He said he was scared because he 429 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:10,199 Speaker 3: had turned his dad in and now his dad was 430 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 3: going to be released, and he was very scared of 431 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 3: his dad. 432 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 2: You ought to be your little twit, How dare you? 433 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 2: But since we're talking about Germany for a moment. 434 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 3: Sixty minutes talked to German prosecutors about what would be 435 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 3: considered a crime. And I want you to understand. You 436 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 3: talk about the death of free speech. This is what 437 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:38,120 Speaker 3: jd Vance was talking about. If insulting someone on social 438 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 3: media is a crime and they're actually prosecuting it, they 439 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 3: are so out of control. 440 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 2: Listen to this. 441 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,160 Speaker 7: Is it a crime to insult somebody in public? 442 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 2: Yes, yes, and it's. 443 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:53,639 Speaker 7: A crime to insult them online as well. 444 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:54,200 Speaker 2: Yes. 445 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 8: The fine could be even higher if you insign someone 446 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 8: in the internet. Why because in Internet it stays there. 447 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 8: If we are talking face to face, you insult me 448 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,960 Speaker 8: and sold you okay, finish. But if you're in the Internet, 449 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,359 Speaker 8: I finds out you or a politician. 450 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 2: That sticks around forever. 451 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:19,159 Speaker 7: Yeah, the prosecutors explain. German law also prohibits the spread 452 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:24,160 Speaker 7: of malicious gossip, violent threats, and fake quotes. If somebody 453 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 7: posts something that's not true and then somebody else reposts 454 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,879 Speaker 7: it or likes it, are they committing. 455 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 3: A crime In the case of reposting it as a 456 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 3: crime as well, because the reader that can't distinguished whether 457 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 3: you just invented this or just reposted it. 458 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 2: That's the same for us. 459 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 7: The punishment for breaking hate speech laws can include jail 460 00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 7: time for repeat offenders. 461 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 3: I can't begin to tell you how dangerous this is. 462 00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 3: This is what the American left has tried to do, 463 00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:03,200 Speaker 3: and we've pushed back. This is why during COVID, those 464 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 3: of us who were saying, hey, I got an anecdotal 465 00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 3: case of my brother who died after taking the shot, 466 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 3: someone else says, hey, these doctors are telling me and 467 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 3: I've had this happen, we had on our show. These 468 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 3: doctors are saying that the shot, the clock shot, is 469 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 3: causing more problems than it's fixing. They're saying that, unlike 470 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 3: what Joe Biden said, if you get the shot, you 471 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 3: won't get COVID, If you get the shot, you won't 472 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 3: spread COVID, both of which were complete lives. But you 473 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 3: weren't allowed to say that on social media. That is censorship, 474 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 3: That is authoritarianism. That is the death of the truth. 475 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:47,960 Speaker 3: And nothing destroys a republic faster than the death of 476 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 3: the truth the inability to speak whatever that speech may be. 477 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,640 Speaker 3: Oh well, you can have free speech, you just can't 478 00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 3: hurt anybody's feelings. So what they do when this is 479 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:05,360 Speaker 3: the rule is whatever you say hurts someone's feelings, and 480 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:09,600 Speaker 3: that's how they silence you. This is what leftists always 481 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 3: want because they cannot handle the truth, so they make 482 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 3: the saying of truth into a crime and then they 483 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 3: criminalize it. Sixty minutes embedded with German police as they 484 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:29,320 Speaker 3: raided citizens at their home over online hate speech. Now, 485 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 3: remember they start with this idea of hate speech. It's horrible, 486 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:37,520 Speaker 3: and they get everybody. They take the most egregious case 487 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,600 Speaker 3: and everybody says, yeah, we don't want a hate speech. 488 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 3: And before you know it, saying that affirmative action is 489 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 3: a wasteful public expense gets deemed hate speech, and you've 490 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 3: given them all the power to punish hate speech. So 491 00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:03,400 Speaker 3: now criticizing affirmative action, criticize DEI becomes a criminal offense. 492 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 2: That's how this game works. But listen to this. 493 00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:11,360 Speaker 7: It's six oh one on a Tuesday morning, and we 494 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,400 Speaker 7: were with state police as they raided this apartment in 495 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:22,920 Speaker 7: northwest Germany. Inside six armed officers searched to suspects home, 496 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:27,760 Speaker 7: then seized his laptop and cell phone. Prosecutors say those 497 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:31,840 Speaker 7: electronics may have been used to commit a crime. The 498 00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:38,880 Speaker 7: crime posting a racist cartoon online. At the exact same time, 499 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:45,760 Speaker 7: across Germany, more than fifty similar raids played out, part 500 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 7: of what prosecutors say is a coordinated effort to curb 501 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:56,960 Speaker 7: online hate speech in Germany raiding people's homes. 502 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:02,640 Speaker 2: And you don't think that's going to happen here. Listen 503 00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:03,560 Speaker 2: very carefully. 504 00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:06,440 Speaker 3: Remember it is Margaret Brennan at sixty minutes who made 505 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:11,520 Speaker 3: that statement. This is squad member Ayana Presley. She's the 506 00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 3: ugly black woman with the painted on eyebrows and the 507 00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:20,120 Speaker 3: bald head. Kind of a dumb version of a black Kojak. Yeah, 508 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:23,880 Speaker 3: that's her. Listen carefully to what this democrat said. 509 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:26,960 Speaker 2: Look, let me tell you something.
