Speaker 1 (00:00):
Time, time, time, Luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Michael vari 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 2 (00:52):
They may take a live.
Speaker 6 (01:07):
Duke, duke, and unfortunately, when I look at Europe today,
(01:38):
it's sometimes not so clear what happened to some of
the Cold Wars winners. I looked 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.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
What they've judged to be quote hateful content.
Speaker 6 (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 Internet,
a day of action.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
I looked to Sweden.
Speaker 6 (02:09):
We're two weeks 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.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
The group that holds that belief.
Speaker 6 (02:34):
This 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.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
I fear is in retreats. What a florious time it is. Friends.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
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.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
I'm so lucky to have him.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
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 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 out
(04:06):
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 Vladimir Zelensky. Zelensky
(04:30):
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.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
It's not happening. We've had enough, and he's not winning
the war.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
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 until 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. And never forget that China
is our real enemy in Canada. Over the weekend, Team
USA defeating Team Canada soundly three to one when the
(06:54):
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. Went up
the Michael Berry Show Michael Berry Show to deliver the
news we all feared.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
And she said, I don't want to be here with you,
and weren't Rush to be here with you, 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
(08:50):
of his passing, instead of thinking about yourself and your
own growth and development as a Rush.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Baby.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
If you're lucky enough that the parents 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 (09:44):
But instead you were engaged.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
In the 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,
(10:11):
four years after his passing. There's a lot of news today,
and it will be here all week and we'll get
to it. 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
(10:34):
of Catherine telling us that Rush had passed, I thought
instead that 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
(10:55):
in the daily University that the Mayor of Realville was
delivering every single day. And so what I thought I
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.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
And clean water.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
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. It is
not granted by a government. It's not granted by Putin,
It's not granted by Obama or any other human being.
We are created with the natural yearning to be free,
and it is other men and leaders throughout human history
who have suppressed that and imprisoned people for seeking it.
The US is the first time in the history of
(15:59):
the world where a government.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Was organized with a constitution.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
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.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
That's American exceptionalist. 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 to 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.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
And did he ever do us proud?
Speaker 3 (16:44):
He called out European countries for violations of free speech, and.
Speaker 6 (16:48):
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 commissaris warnce 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 very country
(17:10):
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. I looked
to Sweden, or two weeks 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
(17:32):
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. 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
(17:54):
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 silently praying for three minutes, not obstructing anyone,
(18:14):
not interacting with anyone, just silently.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Praying on his own.
Speaker 6 (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):
Now, the officers were not moved.
Speaker 6 (18:32):
Adam was found guilty of breaking the government's new buffer
zones law, which criminalized a 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 2 (18:54):
But no.
Speaker 6 (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 sones, 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.
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 up. The Trump administration is returning common sense
to America, and JD. Vance is trying to return common
(19:40):
sense to Europe, where.
Speaker 6 (19:42):
At the point 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
(20:05):
friends to have some perspective.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
You can believe it's wrong for.
Speaker 6 (20:09):
Russia to buy social media advertisements to influence your elections.
We certainly do 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 strong to begin with.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
He then threw in a little dig at the Europeans
for that little twit, Greta Thunberg. You remember her, yet
you will come to us, young people, for hope.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
How dare you? Here was his line. And it's a beauty.
Speaker 6 (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.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
And trust me, I say this with all humor.
Speaker 6 (20:48):
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, German or
European will survive is telling millions of voters that their
thoughts and concerns, their aspirations they're pleased for relief, are
(21:08):
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's 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 won't
(21:35):
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. That's the sense I disagree with
you specifically about all the right now.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
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've 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 of
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 forms without being offended, insulted,
or 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 people give all kay. 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.
(23:57):
The reason speech has to be protected 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.
You lived through COVID, you know what happened. That's not
free speech was not the reason for the Holocaust. I
(24:33):
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. You all forget how big the Hoff
was in Germany, and you forget two things about Hoff
that you've forgotten, well at least one of them. One
(24:58):
is that moment you found out how big he was
in Germany, like superstar status in Germany, and thinking it
is so random. The other one was him drunkenly eating
the burder off the floor.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Now, this will cause.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Some of you to judge me, but for most guys
and some girls, we've all had that moment.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
And I'm not too proud to tell you.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
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. 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
(25:52):
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, 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
(26:14):
in us being incredibly sick and making bad decisions and
probably passing out.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Okay, yeah, let's all do it.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
Here we go, Yeah, more and more shots, more shots.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Let's all jump off the cliff together like livings.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Well, if you remember the video of David Hasselhof 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.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
What a petulant.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
You know, there was a guy a few weeks ago
who was saying he was scared 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.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
You ought to be your little twit, How dare you?
But since we're talking about Germany for a moment.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
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
jd Vance was talking about. If insulting someone on social
media is a crime and they're actually prosecuting it, they
are so out of control.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Listen to this.
Speaker 7 (27:46):
Is it a crime to insult somebody in public?
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Yes, yes, and it's.
Speaker 7 (27:51):
A crime to insult them online as well.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Yes.
Speaker 8 (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 face to face, you insult me
and sold you okay, finish. But if you're in the Internet,
I finds out you or a politician.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
That sticks around forever.
Speaker 7 (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.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
A crime 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 7 (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. They're saying that, unlike
what Joe Biden said, 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,
(29:37):
That is authoritarianism. That is the death of the truth.
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
(30:00):
the rule is whatever you say hurts someone's feelings, and
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
(30:23):
raided citizens at their home over online hate speech. Now,
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
(30:46):
a wasteful public expense gets deemed hate speech, and you've
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 7 (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 raiding people's homes.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
And you don't think that's going to happen here. Listen
very carefully.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
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 dumb version of a black Kojak. Yeah,
that's her. Listen carefully to what this democrat said.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
Look, let me tell you something. I'll take a bit
of umbridge here. I'll speak on behalf of my colleagues.
Speaker 7 (32:29):
I think I can say we are all willing to
work with anyone who's serious.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
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 to the death. As Voltaire said, I
may not like what you say, but I'll defend to
the death you're right to say it.
Time, time, time, Luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Michael vari 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 2 (00:52):
They may take a live.
Speaker 6 (01:07):
Duke, duke, and unfortunately, when I look at Europe today,
(01:38):
it's sometimes not so clear what happened to some of
the Cold Wars winners. I looked 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.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
What they've judged to be quote hateful content.
Speaker 6 (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 Internet,
a day of action.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
I looked to Sweden.
Speaker 6 (02:09):
We're two weeks 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.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
The group that holds that belief.
Speaker 6 (02:34):
This 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.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
I fear is in retreats. What a florious time it is. Friends.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
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.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
I'm so lucky to have him.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
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 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 out
(04:06):
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 Vladimir Zelensky. Zelensky
(04:30):
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.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
It's not happening. We've had enough, and he's not winning
the war.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
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 until 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. And never forget that China
is our real enemy in Canada. Over the weekend, Team
USA defeating Team Canada soundly three to one when the
(06:54):
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. Went up
the Michael Berry Show Michael Berry Show to deliver the
news we all feared.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
And she said, I don't want to be here with you,
and weren't Rush to be here with you, 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
(08:50):
of his passing, instead of thinking about yourself and your
own growth and development as a Rush.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Baby.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
If you're lucky enough that the parents 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 (09:44):
But instead you were engaged.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
In the 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,
(10:11):
four years after his passing. There's a lot of news today,
and it will be here all week and we'll get
to it. 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
(10:34):
of Catherine telling us that Rush had passed, I thought
instead that 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
(10:55):
in the daily University that the Mayor of Realville was
delivering every single day. And so what I thought I
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.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
And clean water.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
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. It is
not granted by a government. It's not granted by Putin,
It's not granted by Obama or any other human being.
We are created with the natural yearning to be free,
and it is other men and leaders throughout human history
who have suppressed that and imprisoned people for seeking it.
The US is the first time in the history of
(15:59):
the world where a government.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Was organized with a constitution.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
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.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
That's American exceptionalist. 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 to 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.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
And did he ever do us proud?
Speaker 3 (16:44):
He called out European countries for violations of free speech, and.
Speaker 6 (16:48):
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 commissaris warnce 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 very country
(17:10):
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. I looked
to Sweden, or two weeks 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
(17:32):
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. 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
(17:54):
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 silently praying for three minutes, not obstructing anyone,
(18:14):
not interacting with anyone, just silently.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Praying on his own.
Speaker 6 (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):
Now, the officers were not moved.
Speaker 6 (18:32):
Adam was found guilty of breaking the government's new buffer
zones law, which criminalized a 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 2 (18:54):
But no.
Speaker 6 (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 sones, 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.
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 up. The Trump administration is returning common sense
to America, and JD. Vance is trying to return common
(19:40):
sense to Europe, where.
Speaker 6 (19:42):
At the point 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
(20:05):
friends to have some perspective.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
You can believe it's wrong for.
Speaker 6 (20:09):
Russia to buy social media advertisements to influence your elections.
We certainly do 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 strong to begin with.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
He then threw in a little dig at the Europeans
for that little twit, Greta Thunberg. You remember her, yet
you will come to us, young people, for hope.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
How dare you? Here was his line. And it's a beauty.
Speaker 6 (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.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
And trust me, I say this with all humor.
Speaker 6 (20:48):
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, German or
European will survive is telling millions of voters that their
thoughts and concerns, their aspirations they're pleased for relief, are
(21:08):
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's 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 won't
(21:35):
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. That's the sense I disagree with
you specifically about all the right now.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
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've 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 of
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 forms without being offended, insulted,
or 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 people give all kay. 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.
(23:57):
The reason speech has to be protected 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.
You lived through COVID, you know what happened. That's not
free speech was not the reason for the Holocaust. I
(24:33):
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. You all forget how big the Hoff
was in Germany, and you forget two things about Hoff
that you've forgotten, well at least one of them. One
(24:58):
is that moment you found out how big he was
in Germany, like superstar status in Germany, and thinking it
is so random. The other one was him drunkenly eating
the burder off the floor.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Now, this will cause.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Some of you to judge me, but for most guys
and some girls, we've all had that moment.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
And I'm not too proud to tell you.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
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. 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
(25:52):
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, 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
(26:14):
in us being incredibly sick and making bad decisions and
probably passing out.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Okay, yeah, let's all do it.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
Here we go, Yeah, more and more shots, more shots.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Let's all jump off the cliff together like livings.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Well, if you remember the video of David Hasselhof 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.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
What a petulant.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
You know, there was a guy a few weeks ago
who was saying he was scared 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.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
You ought to be your little twit, How dare you?
But since we're talking about Germany for a moment.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
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
jd Vance was talking about. If insulting someone on social
media is a crime and they're actually prosecuting it, they
are so out of control.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Listen to this.
Speaker 7 (27:46):
Is it a crime to insult somebody in public?
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Yes, yes, and it's.
Speaker 7 (27:51):
A crime to insult them online as well.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Yes.
Speaker 8 (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 face to face, you insult me
and sold you okay, finish. But if you're in the Internet,
I finds out you or a politician.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
That sticks around forever.
Speaker 7 (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.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
A crime 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 7 (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. They're saying that, unlike
what Joe Biden said, 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,
(29:37):
That is authoritarianism. That is the death of the truth.
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
(30:00):
the rule is whatever you say hurts someone's feelings, and
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
(30:23):
raided citizens at their home over online hate speech. Now,
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
(30:46):
a wasteful public expense gets deemed hate speech, and you've
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 7 (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 raiding people's homes.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
And you don't think that's going to happen here. Listen
very carefully.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
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 dumb version of a black Kojak. Yeah,
that's her. Listen carefully to what this democrat said.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
Look, let me tell you something. I'll take a bit
of umbridge here. I'll speak on behalf of my colleagues.
Speaker 7 (32:29):
I think I can say we are all willing to
work with anyone who's serious.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
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 to the death. As Voltaire said, I
may not like what you say, but I'll defend to
the death you're right to say it.
