  Speaker 1: This is in Munich. The enemy of Europe is Europe itself.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: He says, it's lost its fundamental values. Let's take a look.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: But while the Trump administration is very concerned with European
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: security and believes that we can come to a reasonable
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: settlement between Russia and Ukraine, and we also believe that
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: it's important in the coming years for Europe to step
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: up in a big way to provide for its own defense,
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: the threat that I worry the most about visa e
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Europe is not Russia, it's not China, it's not any
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: other external actor. And what I worry about is the
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: threat from within, the retreat of Europe from some of
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: its most fundamental values, values shared with the United States
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: of America.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Fundamental lost its fundamental values. I mean, what's the point
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: of being a part of NATO. If Europe just wants
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: to turn itself into like some Chinese style totalitarian state,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: then what's the point?
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: Right, Like, those aren't my values. I take a look, and.
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: Expressing opinions isn't election interference, even when people express views
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: outside your own country, and even when those people are
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: very influential, and trust me, I say this with all humor.
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: If American democracy can survive ten years of Thunberg scolding
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: you guys can survive a few months of Elon Musk.
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: But what German democracy.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Silence? We don't like it. Silence. They did not like
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: that adult. They don't like hearing the truth is the problem.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: What no democracy, American, German or European will survive is
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: telling millions of voters that their thoughts and concerns, their
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: aspirations they're pleased for relief, are invalid or unworthy of
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: even being considered.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: They probably asked to see his papers after this, I'm betting. Yikes,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: let's look at this guy here. So German Defense Minister
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Boris Pistorius starts whining about JD. Vance's speech, saying it
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: was not acceptable.
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: He spoke of the annulment of democracy and if I
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: understood him correctly, he compares the condition of Europe with
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: the condition that prevails in some auto authoritarian regimes. Ladies
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: and gentlemen, this is not acceptable.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Okay, let's see some notable abuses of free speech in
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: the European Union of the last five years include Germany's
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: expansion of defamation laws. Well, that's where he's from, Germany.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Germany has expanded it's defamation statutes to prohibit criticism of
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: who can you guess who? They prohibit criticism of, oh, politicians,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: politicians if it is perceived to interfere with their official duties,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: because that's democracy, that's free speech. Not being able to
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: criticize the government Germany. It's all starting to feel extremely familiar,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: isn't it. This has led to over thirteen hundred criminal
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: complaints for comments or post critical of those in power,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: including satire that's right because fascists don't like to be
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: laughed at, and social media posts calling officials idiots?
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: But what if they are idiots? Is that guy an idiot?
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Fact check true? The vague nature of what constitutes interference
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: has been criticized for potentially stifling free speech potentially Okay,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: what's the German word for potentially, what's the German word for? Absolutely?
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Digital Services Act. The EUS Digital Services Act aims to
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: regulate online platforms, but has been criticized for potentially enabling censorship.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: I bet, I bet that there's some potential enabling of
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: censorship going on. There are concerns that grant's broad powers
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: to the European Commission to police content, particularly during crises
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: and might encourage platforms to air on the side of
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: over moderation to avoid fines. This could lead to the
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: suppression of free speech under the guise of combating misinformation
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: or hate speech. Misinformation, it turns out often just seems
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: to be information, and hate speech turns out to be
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: things that fascist Germans like. That guy just don't like
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: content moderation and Internet shutdown threats. There have been instances
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: where EU officials have threatened to shut down social media
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: platforms or enforce strict content removal, particularly during times of
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: civil unrest or when content is deemed hateful. This has
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: raised alarms about the potential for arbitrary blocking of platforms
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: and the impact of free speech. Hey, rumble is blocked
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: in France, and they keep threatening to shut down X
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: because they don't like elon, they don't like free speech,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: they don't like hearing things. Well, we know that German
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: politicians actually made it illegal, illegal to criticize them, or
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: criticize them too harshly or call them idiots. Let's see
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: political censorship and legal actions against political parties In Germany.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: There's been a push against the Alternative for Germany party,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: with efforts to ban it due to its political stance,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: including over seven hundred hate crime complaints, which is just
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: what what is that? Hate crime is so broad broadly
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: defined now that it really just means anything that's not
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: far left complaints against individuals for insulting Green Party politicians,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: So it's a hate crime to insult Green Party politicians.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: This reflects a broader trend where political speech is increasingly
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: scrutinized and potentially curtailed. I mean, you're getting the message here, right,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Surveillance and harassment of journalists, regulations of online political speech.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: This is a desperate man clinging to power. That's what
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: this is. This is a desperate despot clinging to power.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: These people, I'm convinced they look at China with envy.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: They look at China with envy. They see that as
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: the perfect state. Right, it's got some it's got capitalism, now,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: capitalism with Chinese characteristics Trudeau. Trudeau's on camera saying they
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: admired the Chinese basic dictatorship.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: They're just telling us this anyway.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: That's all I'm gonna say about that. Please like, share
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: and subscribe. Subscribing really helps me out. I thank you
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: for that. I will see you next time,
