Speaker 1 (00:00):
Time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Michael darry Show is on the air. What you represent
to them, it's freedom. What the hell's were with freedom?
And that's what it's all about. Oh yeah, that's right,
that's what it's all about, all right.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
But talking about it and being it, it's two different things.
Speaker 4 (00:23):
Well, he was standing in a country where free speech
was weaponized to conduct a genocide.
Speaker 5 (00:30):
The free speech was not used to conduct a genocide.
The genocide was conducted by an authoritarian Nazi regime that
happened to also be genocidal because they hated Jews, and
they hated minorities, and they hated those that they had
a list of people they hated, but primarily the Jews.
There was no free speech in Nazi Germany.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
There was none.
Speaker 5 (00:45):
There was also no opposition in Nazi Germany. They were
a sole and only party that governed that country. So
that's not an accurate reflection of history.
Speaker 6 (00:52):
They may take our lives, Duke, Duke.
Speaker 7 (01:35):
And unfortunately, when I look at Europe today, it's sometimes
not so clear what happened to some of the Cold
Wars winners. I look to Brussels, where you commissioned commissars
warned citizens that they intend to shut down social media
during times of civil unrest the moment they spot what
they've judged to.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Be quote hateful content.
Speaker 7 (01:56):
Or to this very country where police have carried out
raids against citizen and suspected of posting anti feminist comments
online as part of quote combating misogyny on the.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Internet, a day of action. I looked to Sweden. We're
two weeks.
Speaker 7 (02:10):
Ago the government convicted a Christian activist for participating in
Kuran burnings that resulted in his friend's murder, and as
the judge in his case chillingly noted, Sweden's laws to
supposedly protect free expression do not in fact grant and
I'm quoting a free pass to do or say anything
without risking offending the group that holds that belief. This
(02:34):
last October, just a few months ago, the Scottish government
began distributing letters to citizens whose houses lay within so
called safe access zones, warning them that even private prayer
within their own homes may amount to breaking the law. Naturally,
the government urged readers to report any fellow citizens suspected
guilty of thought crime. In Britain and across Europe, free speech,
(02:56):
I fear is in retreats.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
What a glorious time it is.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Friends. My youngest son, Crockett, we celebrated his eighteenth birthday yesterday,
it was the day of his actual birthday, and we
celebrated my father his eighty fifth birthday. I'm so lucky
to have and we lost my mom a few months
ago at only seventy nine.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
But I'm grateful for every day, as we should be.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
You know, I'd like to say we have a great
show for you every day, because our show is not
dependent on good news in order to be fun, in
order to be useful, in in order to be informative.
But there is a lot of good news to share.
A lot has happened over the last few days. We
are still awaiting the Cash Pattel confirmation. He was voted
(04:06):
out of the Senate committee on Thursday. The Democrats are
stonewalling that, and frankly, I think the Republicans are contributing
to it. They broke early rather than confirming him before
the weekend, but they found time over the weekend to
have a meal, a sit down meal in person with
(04:27):
Vladimir Zelensky. Zelensky is not dealing from a position of
strength any longer. President Trump wants a deal done, and
Zelensky demanding this and that is going to have to
stop because he's not going to get it because we're
not fighting his war anymore, we're not funding it. It's
(04:49):
not happening. We've had enough, and he's not winning the war.
And anyone who understands how the Russians work is they
win such wars by attrition, and that goes back eighty years.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
They win these eighty five years for that many.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
They win these wars by attrition because they will literally
throw every man in their country at the war. They
don't care that they become canon fodder. They will grab
men from other countries and put them in a uniform
and send them in to be shot.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
They don't care.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
They will grind out an awful, brutal war until eventually
they've got the numbers. It's like a chess game. You're
one piece up, you just start trading pieces till you
get down and they're left with one less than you,
and you defeat them. I think we're going to see
(05:48):
an end to the war in very short order. I
think we're days, not weeks from an end to the war.
And I don't think that that's what Zelenski wants, because
I think Lensky it's much like Black Lives Matter, where
racism is his calling card. Racism is how he, you know,
buys his expensive houses.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
He needs there to be conflict, and it's not going
to happen.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Putin is ready to be finished, and President Trump is welcome,
is ready to welcome him back into the community of nations.
Forgive and forget and move on, because Russia is the future,
not Ukraine.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Russia is the partner we need.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Why you may ask, because a strong Russian alliance with
the United States weakens China.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
And never forget that China is our real enemy. In Canada.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Over the weekend, Team USA defeating Team Canada soundly three
to one. When the Canadian fans booed our national anthem
within nine seconds of that game opening.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
There were three fights.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
We proceeded to whip their butts in the fights and
in the match, while Justin Trudeau watched on. Sadly, Bedel
Castro would have been embarrassed. President Trump was at the
Daytona five hundred and the love affair continued. Boy did
they ever cheer for him and the Daytona five hundred
(07:26):
giving him the mic to address the drivers. He kept
it brief, he kept it cool, calling himself your favorite president.
He had to make news after all. But the highlight
of the weekend actually occurred just before the weekend, the
greatest speech by a vice president in my lifetime. J. D.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Vance went to Munich and.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
He delivered to Europe a strong, forceful, reasoned American approach.
America is back in Europe. It's time that you should
be as well. You've been overrun by the Middle East,
you've been overrun by North Africa, you have been overrun
by Islam. You have destroyed free speech and freedom in
(08:17):
your country, and it's time to change.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
We'll talk about that and a lot more to.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Michael Berry Show, Michael Berry Show, to deliver the news
we all feared.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
And she said, I don't want to be here with you.
I want Rush to be here with you.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
But he loved you, and you meant the world to him,
and we're so grateful for what you did for him.
Many of you were Rush babies growing up, and if
you were a Rush baby, and today the four year
anniversary of his passing, instead of thinking about yourself and
(08:56):
your own growth and development as a Rush.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Baby.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
If you're lucky enough that the parent who was driving
put Rush Limbaugh on to expose Rush to you, it's
a great opportunity to pick up the phone and say
Mom or Dad, you know I realized a lot of
the political opinions I have or because of Rush Limbaugh,
(09:18):
because of you, because I was sitting in the back
seat and you were playing Rush Limbaugh. And I've never
thought about the fact that I should thank you for that.
You could have been playing some vapid music. You could
have I mean, you could have just been playing the classics,
(09:41):
or you could have been playing something to keep me happy.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
But instead you were engaged in the.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Affairs of our nation, and I was picking up the
crumbs that were falling down from the table. And from
that I have developed into an independent, self reliant person
because of the daily education I got riding in the
backseat with you. It is a great opportunity today, four
(10:11):
years after his passing. There's a lot of news today,
and it will be here all.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Week and we'll get to it.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
But I decided to take one segment, and this the
second segment of the show, so Prime Real Estate. This
is when our largest listening audience of the entire show
will be here. And what I decided to do was,
rather than as I did this morning, play the clip
of Catherine.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Telling us that Rush had passed, I thought instead that.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
As the leader of a movement, and I don't think
that we would have had Trump in twenty sixteen, which
meant we wouldn't have had Trump twenty twenty four. I
don't think we would have had the movement in its
current form if it hadn't been for Rush Limball in
the daily University that the Mayor of Realville was delivering
every single day.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
And so what I thought I.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Would do now is share one of my favorite moments
from Rush Limbaugh show. And this is really what make
America Great Again is about, and that is embracing American exceptionalism.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
What American exceptionalism is not. It is not that we
are better people. It is not that we are superior people.
It is not that we are smarter people. It is
not that God loves us and hates everybody else. It
is not that God prefers us. It is not that
(11:40):
God doesn't prefer anybody else. American exceptionalism has nothing to
do with anything but freedom and liberty. Here is what
American exceptionalism is by the way, This is one of
(12:01):
the fundamental reasons why I got so excited when presented
with the idea of writing a book about the truth
of American history in stages and various elements for young people.
My book Rush Revere in the Brave Pilgrims is all
about the exceptionalism of those people. So what is it, Well,
(12:27):
if you know the history of the world, read your Bible,
read whatever historical account of humanity you hold dear, and
what you'll read around is human tyranny. You'll read of bondage,
you'll read of slavery. The vast majority of the people,
(12:50):
the vast majority of the human beings who have lived
and breathed and walked this planet have lived under the
tyranny of despots. The vast majority, it isn't even close.
The vast majority of the people of this world since
(13:11):
the beginning of time have never known the kind of
liberty and freedom that's taken for granted every day in
this country. Most people have lived in abject fear of
their leaders. Most people have lived in abject fear of whoever.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Held power over them.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Most people in the world have not had plentiful axes,
access to food and clean water. It was a major
daily undertaking for most people to come up with just
those two basic things.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Just surviving.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Was the primary occupation of most people in the world.
The history of the world is dictatorship, tyranny, whatever you
want to call it, subjugation of populations. And then along
(14:17):
came the United States of America. Pilgrims were the first
to come here seeking freedom from all of that. They
were oppressed because of their religion. They were told they
had to believe in the King and his God, whatever
it was, or they would be imprisoned. They led an
(14:44):
exodus from Europe to this country.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
If people of the same.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Mindset, they simply wanted to escape the tyranny of their
ordinary lives. This country was founded for the first time
in human history, a government and country was founded on
the belief that leaders serve the population. This country the
(15:15):
first in history. And this is the exception ex cept
except the exception to the rule is what American exceptionalism is.
And because of this liberty and freedom that our country exists,
because the founders recognized it comes from God. It's part
(15:36):
of the natural yearning of the human spirit.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
It is not granted by a government.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
It's not granted by Putin, It's not granted by Obama
or any other human being.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
We are created with the natural yearning.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
To be free, and it is other men and leaders
throughout human history who have suppressed that and imprisoned people
for seeking it.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
The US is the first time in the history of
the world where.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
A government was organized with a constitution laying out the
rules that the individual was supreme and domnina. And that
is what led to the US becoming the greatest country
ever because it unleashed people to be the best they
could be, unlike it had ever happened. That's American exceptionalism.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Listened to the Michael Berry Show podcast If You Dare
Vice President JD.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Vance, in his first major address to an international audience,
arrived in Munich.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
First time you traveled with Munich.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
If you're a redneck like me, you see that the
sign says munchin or munchin, And I suspect you probably
made some jokes out of that, because I certainly did,
and did he ever do us proud? He called out
European countries for violations of free speech.
Speaker 7 (16:48):
And unfortunately, when I look at Europe today, it's sometimes
not so clear what happened to some of the Cold
Wars winners. I looked to Brussels, where EU commissioned Commissarus
once citizens that they intend to shut down social media
during times of civil unrest the moment they spot what
they've judged to be quote hateful content. Or to this
(17:10):
very country where police have carried out raids against citizens
suspected of posting anti feminist comments online as part of
quote combating misogyny on the Internet a day of action.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
I looked to Sweden, or two weeks ago.
Speaker 7 (17:23):
The government convicted a Christian activist for participating in Kuran
burnings that resulted in his friend's murder, and, as the
judge in his case chillingly noted, Sweden's laws to supposedly
protect free expression do not in fact grant and I'm
quoting a free pass to do or say anything without
risking offending the.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Group that holds that belief.
Speaker 7 (17:47):
And perhaps most concerningly, I look to our very dear
friends the United Kingdom, where the backslide away from conscience
rights has placed the basic liberties of religious Britons in
particular in the crosshairs. A little over two years ago,
the British govern charged Adam Smith Connor, a fifty one
year old physiotherapist and an Army veteran, with the heinous
crime of standing fifty meters from an abortion clinic and
(18:10):
silently praying for three minutes, not obstructing anyone, not interacting
with anyone, just silently.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Praying on his own.
Speaker 7 (18:18):
After British law enforcement spotted him and demanded to know
what he was praying for, Adam replied simply it was
on behalf of the unborn son he and his former
girlfriend had aboarded years before.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
How the officers were not moved.
Speaker 7 (18:32):
Adam was found guilty of breaking the government's new buffer
zones law, which criminalized as silent prayer and other actions
that could influence a person's decision within two hundred meters
of an abortion facility. He was sentenced to pay thousands
of pounds in legal costs to the prosecution. Now, I
wish I could say that this was a fluke, a
one off, crazy example of a badly written law being
(18:52):
enacted against a single person.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
But no.
Speaker 7 (18:55):
This last October, just a few months ago, the Scottish
government began distributing letters to citizens whose houses lay within
so called safe access sense, warning them that even private
prayer within.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Their own homes may amount to breaking the law.
Speaker 7 (19:10):
Naturally, the government urged readers to report any fellow citizens
suspected guilty of thought crime. In Britain and across Europe,
free speech.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
I fear is in retreat, and we will look at
a sixty minutes embedded reporter raiding a fellow's home for
online commentary. They learned nothing from Nazism, because that's what
this smacks UF. The Trump administration is returning common sense
to America, and JD. Vance is trying to return common
(19:40):
sense to Europe, where at the point.
Speaker 7 (19:43):
Of course, that the situation has gotten so bad that
this December, Romania straight up canceled the results of a
presidential election based on the flimsy suspicions of an intelligence
agency and enormous pressure from its continental neighbors. Now, as
I understand it, the argument was that Russian disinformation had
infected the Romanian elections. But I'd ask my European friends
(20:06):
to have some perspective.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
You can believe it's wrong for Russia.
Speaker 7 (20:10):
To buy social media advertisements to influence your elections.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
We certainly do.
Speaker 7 (20:14):
You can condemn it on the world stage even but
if your democracy can be destroyed with a few hundred
thousand dollars of digital advertising from a foreign country, then
it wasn't very.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Strong to begin with.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
He then threw in a little dig at the Europeans
for that little twit, Greta Thunberg.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
You remember her, yet you will come to us, young people,
for hope. How dare you? Here was his line. And
it's a beauty.
Speaker 7 (20:37):
And expressing opinions is it election interference? Even when people
express views outside your own country, and even when those
people are very influential. And trust me, I say this
with all humor. If American democracy can survive ten years
of Thunberg's scolding, you guys can survive a few months
of Elon Musk. But what German democracy, What no democracy, American,
(21:00):
German or European will survive is telling millions of voters
that their thoughts and concerns, their aspirations they're pleased for relief,
are invalid or unworthy of even being considered.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Europe is in big trouble, folks, They're in big trouble.
But America's in trouble as well. CBS has Margaret Brennan
hosted Marco Rubio and Face the Nation. And this is
after they were shellacked in November. And make no mistake
that Democrats were defeated in November as well. This is
the same woman who mute advances microphone during his debate
with Hansy Tim Walls. You remember Margaret Brennan. Well, you
(21:34):
won't believe who and what she blamed for the Holocaust.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
Well, he was standing in a country where free speech
was weaponized to conduct a genocide, and he met with
the head of a political party that has far right
views and some historic ties to extreme groups. The context
of that was changing the tone of it.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
And you know that.
Speaker 5 (22:01):
That's the sense I disagree with you specifically about all
the right now I have to disagree with you. The
free speech was not used to conduct a genocide. The
genocide was conducted by an authoritarian Nazi regime that happened
to also be genocidal because they hated Jews, and they
hated minorities, and they hated those that they had a
list of people they hated, but primarily the Jews. There
was no free speech in Nazi Germany.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
There was none.
Speaker 5 (22:21):
There was also no opposition in Nazi Germany, they were
a sole and only party that governed that country. So
that's not an accurate reflection of history. I also think
it's wrong. Again, I go back to the point of
his speech. The point of his speech was basically that
there is an erosion in free speech and in tolerance
or opposing points of view within Europe. And that's a
concern because that is eroding. It's not an erosion of
your military capabilities, that's not an erosion of your economic standing.
(22:45):
That's an erosion of the actual values that bind us
together in the Transatlantic Union that everybody talks about. And
I think allies and friends and partners that have worked
together now for eighty years should be able to speak
frankly to one another in open forums without being offended, insulted,
or a set And I spoke to foreign ministers from
multiple countries throughout Europe.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Many of them probably didn't like the speech.
Speaker 5 (23:05):
I didn't agree with it, but they were continuing to
engage with us on all sorts of issues that unite us.
So again, at the end of the day, I think
that you know, people give okay, that is a form
in which you're supposed to be inviting people to give speeches,
not basically a chorus where everyone is saying the exact
same thing. That's not always going to be the case
when it's a collection of democracies where leaders have the
(23:25):
right and the privilege to speak their minds and forms
such as these.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
So this is the battle we have to fight, friends,
this is it.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
We've got people who are blaming the Holocaust on too
much free speech, and in current Germany right now they
are raiding the homes of people who criticize people online.
I'll play this for you in the next segment. It's
very important that we all understand this central premise. Free
speech is not a protection of pretty speech or complementary speech.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
The reason speech has to be protected.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Is it is offensive, is because it upsets the leadership
or the conventional wisdom or the cat lady.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
That's why we have to protect it.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
The First Amendment to the Constitution was so very important
because human beings have a totalitarian, authoritarian streak about them,
and silencing speech is what you do to silence criticism.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
You lived through COVID, you know what happened. That's not
free speech was not the reason for the Holocaust.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
I agree to believe that the worst thing that ever
happened to America was slavery the Michael Berry Show, and
the best thing that ever happened to slavery was America
and the Republican Party.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
You all forget how big the Hoff.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
Was in Germany, and you forget two things about Hoff
that you've forgotten.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
At least one of them.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
One is that moment you found out how big he
was in Germany, like superstar status in Germany and thinking
is so random. The other one was him drunkenly eating
the burder off the floor. Now, this will cause some
(25:19):
of you to judge me, but for most guys and
some girls, we've all had that moment. And I'm not
too proud to tell you. We've all had that moment
where what started as a celebratory evening now don't get
behind the wheel and all that and not something to
be proud of. It's not a good long term health strategy.
(25:40):
But we've all had that moment. Maybe my fiftieth birthday
might have been mine. We were at home. You know,
they start going down fast. I don't do shots. People
who do shots get in that state a lot. I
don't do shots for that very reason. Nobody wakes up
the next morning going, man, I wish i'd done more.
Shots would have been great. Shots are a way of saying,
(26:04):
let's do something really dumb, but let's all get excited
about it, so we can force ourselves to do something
that's only going to result in us being incredibly sick
and making bad decisions and probably passing out.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Okay, yeah, let's all do it. Here we go, Yeah,
more and more shots. More shots. Let's all jump off
the cliff together like limvings.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Well, if you remember the video of David Hasselhaal eating
the burger off the floor, the saddest part about that
is his daughter is the one who filmed out. And
to me, that is the greatest violation of a personal
relationship you could make. She brought shame on a man
(26:50):
whose brand is everything. What a petulant.
Speaker 6 (26:55):
You know.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
There was a guy a few weeks ago who was
saying he was scared. Heard after President Trump pardoned the
Jay sixers. He said he was scared because he had
turned his dad in and now his dad was going
to be released, and he was very scared of his dad.
You ought to be your little twit? How dare you?
(27:18):
But since we're talking about Germany for a moment sixty
minutes talked to German prosecutors about what would be considered
a crime. And I want you to understand. You talk
about the death of free speech. This is what Jade
Vance was talking about. If insulting someone on social media
is a crime and they're actually prosecuting it, they are
(27:43):
so out of control.
Speaker 8 (27:44):
Listen, this is it a crime to insult somebody in public?
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Yes, yes, and it's.
Speaker 8 (27:51):
A crime to insult them online as well.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Yes.
Speaker 9 (27:54):
The fine could be even higher if you insign someone
in the internet. Why because in Internet it stays there.
If we are talking he face to face, you insult
me and sold you okay, finish. But if you're in
the internet, it finds out you or a politician.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
That sticks around forever.
Speaker 8 (28:13):
Yeah, the prosecutors explain. German law also prohibits the spread
of malicious gossip, violent threats, and fake quotes. If somebody
posts something that's not true and then somebody else reposts
it or likes it, are they committing a crime.
Speaker 10 (28:32):
In the case of reposting it as a crime as well,
because the reader that can't distinguished whether you just invented
this or just reposted it.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
That's the same for us.
Speaker 8 (28:43):
The punishment for breaking hate speech laws can include jail
time for repeat offenders.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
I can't begin to tell you how dangerous this is.
This is what the American left has tried to do,
and we've pushed back. This is why during COVID, those
of us who were saying, hey, I got an anecdotal
case of my brother who died after taking the shot,
someone else says, hey, these doctors are telling me and
(29:12):
I've had this happen, we had on our show. These
doctors are saying that the shot, the clock shot, is
causing more problems than it's fixing.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
They're saying that, unlike what Joe Biden said.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
If you get the shot, you won't get COVID, If
you get the shot, you won't spread COVID, both of
which were complete lives. But you weren't allowed to say
that on social media. That is censorship, That is authoritarianism.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
That is the death of the truth.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
And nothing destroys a republic faster than the death of
the truth the inability to speak whatever that speech may be.
Oh well, you can have free speech, you just can't
hurt anybody's feelings. So what they do when this is
the rule is whatever you say hurts someone's feelings, and
(30:05):
that's how they silence you. This is what leftists always
want because they cannot handle the truth, so they make
the saying of truth into a crime and then they
criminalize it. Sixty minutes embedded with German police as they
raided citizens at their home over online hate speech. Now,
(30:29):
remember they start with this idea of hate speech. It's horrible,
and they get everybody. They take the most egregious case
and everybody says, yeah, we don't want a hate speech.
And before you know it, saying that affirmative action is
a wasteful public expense gets deemed hate speech. And you've
(30:53):
given them all the power to punish hate speech. So
now criticizing affirmative action, criticize DEI becomes a criminal offense.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
That's how this game works. But listen to this.
Speaker 8 (31:07):
It's six oh one on a Tuesday morning, and we
were with state police as they raided this apartment in
northwest Germany. Inside six armed officers searched to suspects home,
then seized his laptop and cell phone. Prosecutors say those
(31:27):
electronics may have been used to commit a crime. The
crime posting a racist cartoon online. At the exact same time,
across Germany, more than fifty similar raids played out, part
of what prosecutors say is a coordinated effort to curb
(31:49):
online hate speech in Germany.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
Raiding people's homes. And you don't think that's going to
happen here. Listen very carefully. Remember it is Margaret Brennan
at sixty minutes who made that statement. This is squad
member Ayana Presley. She's the ugly black woman with the
painted on eyebrows and the bald head. Kind of a
(32:17):
dumb version of a black Kojak. Yeah, that's her. Listen
carefully to what this democrat said.
Speaker 10 (32:24):
Look, let me tell you something. I'll take a bit
of umbridge here. I'll speak on behalf of my colleagues.
I think I can say we are all willing to
work with anyone who's serious about doing the work of
censoring the American people and advancing progress.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
Did you hear that they're willing to work with anyone
who's willing to censor the rest of us from speaking.
Breaking news CBS's Margaret Brennan is reporting that weaponized free
speech sank the Titanic when they come after free speech.
(33:09):
The republic is on its last legs if you don't
defend free speech.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
To the death.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
As Voltaire said, I may not like what you say,
but I'll defend to the death.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
You're right to say it.
Time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Michael darry Show is on the air. What you represent
to them, it's freedom. What the hell's were with freedom?
And that's what it's all about. Oh yeah, that's right,
that's what it's all about, all right.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
But talking about it and being it, it's two different things.
Speaker 4 (00:23):
Well, he was standing in a country where free speech
was weaponized to conduct a genocide.
Speaker 5 (00:30):
The free speech was not used to conduct a genocide.
The genocide was conducted by an authoritarian Nazi regime that
happened to also be genocidal because they hated Jews, and
they hated minorities, and they hated those that they had
a list of people they hated, but primarily the Jews.
There was no free speech in Nazi Germany.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
There was none.
Speaker 5 (00:45):
There was also no opposition in Nazi Germany. They were
a sole and only party that governed that country. So
that's not an accurate reflection of history.
Speaker 6 (00:52):
They may take our lives, Duke, Duke.
Speaker 7 (01:35):
And unfortunately, when I look at Europe today, it's sometimes
not so clear what happened to some of the Cold
Wars winners. I look to Brussels, where you commissioned commissars
warned citizens that they intend to shut down social media
during times of civil unrest the moment they spot what
they've judged to.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Be quote hateful content.
Speaker 7 (01:56):
Or to this very country where police have carried out
raids against citizen and suspected of posting anti feminist comments
online as part of quote combating misogyny on the.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Internet, a day of action. I looked to Sweden. We're
two weeks.
Speaker 7 (02:10):
Ago the government convicted a Christian activist for participating in
Kuran burnings that resulted in his friend's murder, and as
the judge in his case chillingly noted, Sweden's laws to
supposedly protect free expression do not in fact grant and
I'm quoting a free pass to do or say anything
without risking offending the group that holds that belief. This
(02:34):
last October, just a few months ago, the Scottish government
began distributing letters to citizens whose houses lay within so
called safe access zones, warning them that even private prayer
within their own homes may amount to breaking the law. Naturally,
the government urged readers to report any fellow citizens suspected
guilty of thought crime. In Britain and across Europe, free speech,
(02:56):
I fear is in retreats.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
What a glorious time it is.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Friends. My youngest son, Crockett, we celebrated his eighteenth birthday yesterday,
it was the day of his actual birthday, and we
celebrated my father his eighty fifth birthday. I'm so lucky
to have and we lost my mom a few months
ago at only seventy nine.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
But I'm grateful for every day, as we should be.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
You know, I'd like to say we have a great
show for you every day, because our show is not
dependent on good news in order to be fun, in
order to be useful, in in order to be informative.
But there is a lot of good news to share.
A lot has happened over the last few days. We
are still awaiting the Cash Pattel confirmation. He was voted
(04:06):
out of the Senate committee on Thursday. The Democrats are
stonewalling that, and frankly, I think the Republicans are contributing
to it. They broke early rather than confirming him before
the weekend, but they found time over the weekend to
have a meal, a sit down meal in person with
(04:27):
Vladimir Zelensky. Zelensky is not dealing from a position of
strength any longer. President Trump wants a deal done, and
Zelensky demanding this and that is going to have to
stop because he's not going to get it because we're
not fighting his war anymore, we're not funding it. It's
(04:49):
not happening. We've had enough, and he's not winning the war.
And anyone who understands how the Russians work is they
win such wars by attrition, and that goes back eighty years.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
They win these eighty five years for that many.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
They win these wars by attrition because they will literally
throw every man in their country at the war. They
don't care that they become canon fodder. They will grab
men from other countries and put them in a uniform
and send them in to be shot.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
They don't care.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
They will grind out an awful, brutal war until eventually
they've got the numbers. It's like a chess game. You're
one piece up, you just start trading pieces till you
get down and they're left with one less than you,
and you defeat them. I think we're going to see
(05:48):
an end to the war in very short order. I
think we're days, not weeks from an end to the war.
And I don't think that that's what Zelenski wants, because
I think Lensky it's much like Black Lives Matter, where
racism is his calling card. Racism is how he, you know,
buys his expensive houses.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
He needs there to be conflict, and it's not going
to happen.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Putin is ready to be finished, and President Trump is welcome,
is ready to welcome him back into the community of nations.
Forgive and forget and move on, because Russia is the future,
not Ukraine.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Russia is the partner we need.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Why you may ask, because a strong Russian alliance with
the United States weakens China.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
And never forget that China is our real enemy. In Canada.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Over the weekend, Team USA defeating Team Canada soundly three
to one. When the Canadian fans booed our national anthem
within nine seconds of that game opening.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
There were three fights.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
We proceeded to whip their butts in the fights and
in the match, while Justin Trudeau watched on. Sadly, Bedel
Castro would have been embarrassed. President Trump was at the
Daytona five hundred and the love affair continued. Boy did
they ever cheer for him and the Daytona five hundred
(07:26):
giving him the mic to address the drivers. He kept
it brief, he kept it cool, calling himself your favorite president.
He had to make news after all. But the highlight
of the weekend actually occurred just before the weekend, the
greatest speech by a vice president in my lifetime. J. D.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Vance went to Munich and.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
He delivered to Europe a strong, forceful, reasoned American approach.
America is back in Europe. It's time that you should
be as well. You've been overrun by the Middle East,
you've been overrun by North Africa, you have been overrun
by Islam. You have destroyed free speech and freedom in
(08:17):
your country, and it's time to change.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
We'll talk about that and a lot more to.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Michael Berry Show, Michael Berry Show, to deliver the news
we all feared.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
And she said, I don't want to be here with you.
I want Rush to be here with you.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
But he loved you, and you meant the world to him,
and we're so grateful for what you did for him.
Many of you were Rush babies growing up, and if
you were a Rush baby, and today the four year
anniversary of his passing, instead of thinking about yourself and
(08:56):
your own growth and development as a Rush.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Baby.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
If you're lucky enough that the parent who was driving
put Rush Limbaugh on to expose Rush to you, it's
a great opportunity to pick up the phone and say
Mom or Dad, you know I realized a lot of
the political opinions I have or because of Rush Limbaugh,
(09:18):
because of you, because I was sitting in the back
seat and you were playing Rush Limbaugh. And I've never
thought about the fact that I should thank you for that.
You could have been playing some vapid music. You could
have I mean, you could have just been playing the classics,
(09:41):
or you could have been playing something to keep me happy.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
But instead you were engaged in the.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Affairs of our nation, and I was picking up the
crumbs that were falling down from the table. And from
that I have developed into an independent, self reliant person
because of the daily education I got riding in the
backseat with you. It is a great opportunity today, four
(10:11):
years after his passing. There's a lot of news today,
and it will be here all.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Week and we'll get to it.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
But I decided to take one segment, and this the
second segment of the show, so Prime Real Estate. This
is when our largest listening audience of the entire show
will be here. And what I decided to do was,
rather than as I did this morning, play the clip
of Catherine.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Telling us that Rush had passed, I thought instead that.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
As the leader of a movement, and I don't think
that we would have had Trump in twenty sixteen, which
meant we wouldn't have had Trump twenty twenty four. I
don't think we would have had the movement in its
current form if it hadn't been for Rush Limball in
the daily University that the Mayor of Realville was delivering
every single day.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
And so what I thought I.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Would do now is share one of my favorite moments
from Rush Limbaugh show. And this is really what make
America Great Again is about, and that is embracing American exceptionalism.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
What American exceptionalism is not. It is not that we
are better people. It is not that we are superior people.
It is not that we are smarter people. It is
not that God loves us and hates everybody else. It
is not that God prefers us. It is not that
(11:40):
God doesn't prefer anybody else. American exceptionalism has nothing to
do with anything but freedom and liberty. Here is what
American exceptionalism is by the way, This is one of
(12:01):
the fundamental reasons why I got so excited when presented
with the idea of writing a book about the truth
of American history in stages and various elements for young people.
My book Rush Revere in the Brave Pilgrims is all
about the exceptionalism of those people. So what is it, Well,
(12:27):
if you know the history of the world, read your Bible,
read whatever historical account of humanity you hold dear, and
what you'll read around is human tyranny. You'll read of bondage,
you'll read of slavery. The vast majority of the people,
(12:50):
the vast majority of the human beings who have lived
and breathed and walked this planet have lived under the
tyranny of despots. The vast majority, it isn't even close.
The vast majority of the people of this world since
(13:11):
the beginning of time have never known the kind of
liberty and freedom that's taken for granted every day in
this country. Most people have lived in abject fear of
their leaders. Most people have lived in abject fear of whoever.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Held power over them.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Most people in the world have not had plentiful axes,
access to food and clean water. It was a major
daily undertaking for most people to come up with just
those two basic things.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Just surviving.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Was the primary occupation of most people in the world.
The history of the world is dictatorship, tyranny, whatever you
want to call it, subjugation of populations. And then along
(14:17):
came the United States of America. Pilgrims were the first
to come here seeking freedom from all of that. They
were oppressed because of their religion. They were told they
had to believe in the King and his God, whatever
it was, or they would be imprisoned. They led an
(14:44):
exodus from Europe to this country.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
If people of the same.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Mindset, they simply wanted to escape the tyranny of their
ordinary lives. This country was founded for the first time
in human history, a government and country was founded on
the belief that leaders serve the population. This country the
(15:15):
first in history. And this is the exception ex cept
except the exception to the rule is what American exceptionalism is.
And because of this liberty and freedom that our country exists,
because the founders recognized it comes from God. It's part
(15:36):
of the natural yearning of the human spirit.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
It is not granted by a government.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
It's not granted by Putin, It's not granted by Obama
or any other human being.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
We are created with the natural yearning.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
To be free, and it is other men and leaders
throughout human history who have suppressed that and imprisoned people
for seeking it.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
The US is the first time in the history of
the world where.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
A government was organized with a constitution laying out the
rules that the individual was supreme and domnina. And that
is what led to the US becoming the greatest country
ever because it unleashed people to be the best they
could be, unlike it had ever happened. That's American exceptionalism.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Listened to the Michael Berry Show podcast If You Dare
Vice President JD.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Vance, in his first major address to an international audience,
arrived in Munich.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
First time you traveled with Munich.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
If you're a redneck like me, you see that the
sign says munchin or munchin, And I suspect you probably
made some jokes out of that, because I certainly did,
and did he ever do us proud? He called out
European countries for violations of free speech.
Speaker 7 (16:48):
And unfortunately, when I look at Europe today, it's sometimes
not so clear what happened to some of the Cold
Wars winners. I looked to Brussels, where EU commissioned Commissarus
once citizens that they intend to shut down social media
during times of civil unrest the moment they spot what
they've judged to be quote hateful content. Or to this
(17:10):
very country where police have carried out raids against citizens
suspected of posting anti feminist comments online as part of
quote combating misogyny on the Internet a day of action.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
I looked to Sweden, or two weeks ago.
Speaker 7 (17:23):
The government convicted a Christian activist for participating in Kuran
burnings that resulted in his friend's murder, and, as the
judge in his case chillingly noted, Sweden's laws to supposedly
protect free expression do not in fact grant and I'm
quoting a free pass to do or say anything without
risking offending the.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Group that holds that belief.
Speaker 7 (17:47):
And perhaps most concerningly, I look to our very dear
friends the United Kingdom, where the backslide away from conscience
rights has placed the basic liberties of religious Britons in
particular in the crosshairs. A little over two years ago,
the British govern charged Adam Smith Connor, a fifty one
year old physiotherapist and an Army veteran, with the heinous
crime of standing fifty meters from an abortion clinic and
(18:10):
silently praying for three minutes, not obstructing anyone, not interacting
with anyone, just silently.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Praying on his own.
Speaker 7 (18:18):
After British law enforcement spotted him and demanded to know
what he was praying for, Adam replied simply it was
on behalf of the unborn son he and his former
girlfriend had aboarded years before.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
How the officers were not moved.
Speaker 7 (18:32):
Adam was found guilty of breaking the government's new buffer
zones law, which criminalized as silent prayer and other actions
that could influence a person's decision within two hundred meters
of an abortion facility. He was sentenced to pay thousands
of pounds in legal costs to the prosecution. Now, I
wish I could say that this was a fluke, a
one off, crazy example of a badly written law being
(18:52):
enacted against a single person.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
But no.
Speaker 7 (18:55):
This last October, just a few months ago, the Scottish
government began distributing letters to citizens whose houses lay within
so called safe access sense, warning them that even private
prayer within.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Their own homes may amount to breaking the law.
Speaker 7 (19:10):
Naturally, the government urged readers to report any fellow citizens
suspected guilty of thought crime. In Britain and across Europe,
free speech.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
I fear is in retreat, and we will look at
a sixty minutes embedded reporter raiding a fellow's home for
online commentary. They learned nothing from Nazism, because that's what
this smacks UF. The Trump administration is returning common sense
to America, and JD. Vance is trying to return common
(19:40):
sense to Europe, where at the point.
Speaker 7 (19:43):
Of course, that the situation has gotten so bad that
this December, Romania straight up canceled the results of a
presidential election based on the flimsy suspicions of an intelligence
agency and enormous pressure from its continental neighbors. Now, as
I understand it, the argument was that Russian disinformation had
infected the Romanian elections. But I'd ask my European friends
(20:06):
to have some perspective.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
You can believe it's wrong for Russia.
Speaker 7 (20:10):
To buy social media advertisements to influence your elections.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
We certainly do.
Speaker 7 (20:14):
You can condemn it on the world stage even but
if your democracy can be destroyed with a few hundred
thousand dollars of digital advertising from a foreign country, then
it wasn't very.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Strong to begin with.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
He then threw in a little dig at the Europeans
for that little twit, Greta Thunberg.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
You remember her, yet you will come to us, young people,
for hope. How dare you? Here was his line. And
it's a beauty.
Speaker 7 (20:37):
And expressing opinions is it election interference? Even when people
express views outside your own country, and even when those
people are very influential. And trust me, I say this
with all humor. If American democracy can survive ten years
of Thunberg's scolding, you guys can survive a few months
of Elon Musk. But what German democracy, What no democracy, American,
(21:00):
German or European will survive is telling millions of voters
that their thoughts and concerns, their aspirations they're pleased for relief,
are invalid or unworthy of even being considered.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Europe is in big trouble, folks, They're in big trouble.
But America's in trouble as well. CBS has Margaret Brennan
hosted Marco Rubio and Face the Nation. And this is
after they were shellacked in November. And make no mistake
that Democrats were defeated in November as well. This is
the same woman who mute advances microphone during his debate
with Hansy Tim Walls. You remember Margaret Brennan. Well, you
(21:34):
won't believe who and what she blamed for the Holocaust.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
Well, he was standing in a country where free speech
was weaponized to conduct a genocide, and he met with
the head of a political party that has far right
views and some historic ties to extreme groups. The context
of that was changing the tone of it.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
And you know that.
Speaker 5 (22:01):
That's the sense I disagree with you specifically about all
the right now I have to disagree with you. The
free speech was not used to conduct a genocide. The
genocide was conducted by an authoritarian Nazi regime that happened
to also be genocidal because they hated Jews, and they
hated minorities, and they hated those that they had a
list of people they hated, but primarily the Jews. There
was no free speech in Nazi Germany.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
There was none.
Speaker 5 (22:21):
There was also no opposition in Nazi Germany, they were
a sole and only party that governed that country. So
that's not an accurate reflection of history. I also think
it's wrong. Again, I go back to the point of
his speech. The point of his speech was basically that
there is an erosion in free speech and in tolerance
or opposing points of view within Europe. And that's a
concern because that is eroding. It's not an erosion of
your military capabilities, that's not an erosion of your economic standing.
(22:45):
That's an erosion of the actual values that bind us
together in the Transatlantic Union that everybody talks about. And
I think allies and friends and partners that have worked
together now for eighty years should be able to speak
frankly to one another in open forums without being offended, insulted,
or a set And I spoke to foreign ministers from
multiple countries throughout Europe.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Many of them probably didn't like the speech.
Speaker 5 (23:05):
I didn't agree with it, but they were continuing to
engage with us on all sorts of issues that unite us.
So again, at the end of the day, I think
that you know, people give okay, that is a form
in which you're supposed to be inviting people to give speeches,
not basically a chorus where everyone is saying the exact
same thing. That's not always going to be the case
when it's a collection of democracies where leaders have the
(23:25):
right and the privilege to speak their minds and forms
such as these.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
So this is the battle we have to fight, friends,
this is it.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
We've got people who are blaming the Holocaust on too
much free speech, and in current Germany right now they
are raiding the homes of people who criticize people online.
I'll play this for you in the next segment. It's
very important that we all understand this central premise. Free
speech is not a protection of pretty speech or complementary speech.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
The reason speech has to be protected.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Is it is offensive, is because it upsets the leadership
or the conventional wisdom or the cat lady.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
That's why we have to protect it.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
The First Amendment to the Constitution was so very important
because human beings have a totalitarian, authoritarian streak about them,
and silencing speech is what you do to silence criticism.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
You lived through COVID, you know what happened. That's not
free speech was not the reason for the Holocaust.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
I agree to believe that the worst thing that ever
happened to America was slavery the Michael Berry Show, and
the best thing that ever happened to slavery was America
and the Republican Party.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
You all forget how big the Hoff.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
Was in Germany, and you forget two things about Hoff
that you've forgotten.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
At least one of them.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
One is that moment you found out how big he
was in Germany, like superstar status in Germany and thinking
is so random. The other one was him drunkenly eating
the burder off the floor. Now, this will cause some
(25:19):
of you to judge me, but for most guys and
some girls, we've all had that moment. And I'm not
too proud to tell you. We've all had that moment
where what started as a celebratory evening now don't get
behind the wheel and all that and not something to
be proud of. It's not a good long term health strategy.
(25:40):
But we've all had that moment. Maybe my fiftieth birthday
might have been mine. We were at home. You know,
they start going down fast. I don't do shots. People
who do shots get in that state a lot. I
don't do shots for that very reason. Nobody wakes up
the next morning going, man, I wish i'd done more.
Shots would have been great. Shots are a way of saying,
(26:04):
let's do something really dumb, but let's all get excited
about it, so we can force ourselves to do something
that's only going to result in us being incredibly sick
and making bad decisions and probably passing out.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Okay, yeah, let's all do it. Here we go, Yeah,
more and more shots. More shots. Let's all jump off
the cliff together like limvings.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Well, if you remember the video of David Hasselhaal eating
the burger off the floor, the saddest part about that
is his daughter is the one who filmed out. And
to me, that is the greatest violation of a personal
relationship you could make. She brought shame on a man
(26:50):
whose brand is everything. What a petulant.
Speaker 6 (26:55):
You know.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
There was a guy a few weeks ago who was
saying he was scared. Heard after President Trump pardoned the
Jay sixers. He said he was scared because he had
turned his dad in and now his dad was going
to be released, and he was very scared of his dad.
You ought to be your little twit? How dare you?
(27:18):
But since we're talking about Germany for a moment sixty
minutes talked to German prosecutors about what would be considered
a crime. And I want you to understand. You talk
about the death of free speech. This is what Jade
Vance was talking about. If insulting someone on social media
is a crime and they're actually prosecuting it, they are
(27:43):
so out of control.
Speaker 8 (27:44):
Listen, this is it a crime to insult somebody in public?
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Yes, yes, and it's.
Speaker 8 (27:51):
A crime to insult them online as well.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Yes.
Speaker 9 (27:54):
The fine could be even higher if you insign someone
in the internet. Why because in Internet it stays there.
If we are talking he face to face, you insult
me and sold you okay, finish. But if you're in
the internet, it finds out you or a politician.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
That sticks around forever.
Speaker 8 (28:13):
Yeah, the prosecutors explain. German law also prohibits the spread
of malicious gossip, violent threats, and fake quotes. If somebody
posts something that's not true and then somebody else reposts
it or likes it, are they committing a crime.
Speaker 10 (28:32):
In the case of reposting it as a crime as well,
because the reader that can't distinguished whether you just invented
this or just reposted it.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
That's the same for us.
Speaker 8 (28:43):
The punishment for breaking hate speech laws can include jail
time for repeat offenders.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
I can't begin to tell you how dangerous this is.
This is what the American left has tried to do,
and we've pushed back. This is why during COVID, those
of us who were saying, hey, I got an anecdotal
case of my brother who died after taking the shot,
someone else says, hey, these doctors are telling me and
(29:12):
I've had this happen, we had on our show. These
doctors are saying that the shot, the clock shot, is
causing more problems than it's fixing.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
They're saying that, unlike what Joe Biden said.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
If you get the shot, you won't get COVID, If
you get the shot, you won't spread COVID, both of
which were complete lives. But you weren't allowed to say
that on social media. That is censorship, That is authoritarianism.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
That is the death of the truth.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
And nothing destroys a republic faster than the death of
the truth the inability to speak whatever that speech may be.
Oh well, you can have free speech, you just can't
hurt anybody's feelings. So what they do when this is
the rule is whatever you say hurts someone's feelings, and
(30:05):
that's how they silence you. This is what leftists always
want because they cannot handle the truth, so they make
the saying of truth into a crime and then they
criminalize it. Sixty minutes embedded with German police as they
raided citizens at their home over online hate speech. Now,
(30:29):
remember they start with this idea of hate speech. It's horrible,
and they get everybody. They take the most egregious case
and everybody says, yeah, we don't want a hate speech.
And before you know it, saying that affirmative action is
a wasteful public expense gets deemed hate speech. And you've
(30:53):
given them all the power to punish hate speech. So
now criticizing affirmative action, criticize DEI becomes a criminal offense.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
That's how this game works. But listen to this.
Speaker 8 (31:07):
It's six oh one on a Tuesday morning, and we
were with state police as they raided this apartment in
northwest Germany. Inside six armed officers searched to suspects home,
then seized his laptop and cell phone. Prosecutors say those
(31:27):
electronics may have been used to commit a crime. The
crime posting a racist cartoon online. At the exact same time,
across Germany, more than fifty similar raids played out, part
of what prosecutors say is a coordinated effort to curb
(31:49):
online hate speech in Germany.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
Raiding people's homes. And you don't think that's going to
happen here. Listen very carefully. Remember it is Margaret Brennan
at sixty minutes who made that statement. This is squad
member Ayana Presley. She's the ugly black woman with the
painted on eyebrows and the bald head. Kind of a
(32:17):
dumb version of a black Kojak. Yeah, that's her. Listen
carefully to what this democrat said.
Speaker 10 (32:24):
Look, let me tell you something. I'll take a bit
of umbridge here. I'll speak on behalf of my colleagues.
I think I can say we are all willing to
work with anyone who's serious about doing the work of
censoring the American people and advancing progress.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
Did you hear that they're willing to work with anyone
who's willing to censor the rest of us from speaking.
Breaking news CBS's Margaret Brennan is reporting that weaponized free
speech sank the Titanic when they come after free speech.
(33:09):
The republic is on its last legs if you don't
defend free speech.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
To the death.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
As Voltaire said, I may not like what you say,
but I'll defend to the death.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
You're right to say it.
