Speaker 1: I believe there is nothing more urgent than mass migration. Today,
Speaker 1: almost one in five people living in this country moved
Speaker 1: here from abroad.
Speaker 2: That is, of course, an all time high.
Speaker 1: Is a similar number, by the way, in the United States,
Speaker 1: also an all time high.
Speaker 2: The number of immigrants who.
Speaker 1: Entered the EU from non EU countries doubled between twenty
Speaker 1: twenty one and twenty twenty two alone, and of course
Speaker 1: it's gotten much higher since.
Speaker 2: And we know the situation.
Speaker 1: It didn't materialize in a vacuum. It's the result of
Speaker 1: a series of conscious decisions made by politicians all over
Speaker 1: the continent and others across the world over the span.
Speaker 2: Of a decade.
Speaker 3: Jadevance just went into the heart of darkness the Munich
Speaker 3: Security Conference, and he decided to tell the truth. What
Speaker 3: a novel concept. This is what I was just talking
Speaker 3: about yesterday with my episode. It's like there's just a
Speaker 3: level of honesty that's happening that I can't believe.
Speaker 4: I can't believe it.
Speaker 3: You guys constantly say more content, Clint, more content, all right,
Speaker 3: back to back episodes, just because I love you. Thank
Speaker 3: you seriously. The fact that you guys want to hear
Speaker 3: more from me means a lot. So Jennie Vance went
Speaker 3: to the Munich Security Conference this morning and he gave
Speaker 3: a about twenty something minute speech that.
Speaker 4: Just lit the New World Order on fire.
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know how else to put it, really,
Speaker 3: just laying his cards on the table and saying, this
Speaker 3: is what's happening, this is who's doing it, and this
Speaker 3: is why, and this is why we're not going to
Speaker 3: do it anymore. And I think that it is a
Speaker 3: big moment. So for those that haven't had a chance
Speaker 3: to listen to it or watch it, we're gonna do
Speaker 3: that right now, the entire thing. And I'm gonna interject
Speaker 3: with my commentary periodically on areas of disagreement and agreement
Speaker 3: and emphasizing points that really matter. But I think that
Speaker 3: if you haven't had a chance to listen to the
Speaker 3: whole thing, it is worth doing. On top of that,
Speaker 3: Trump today decided to fire thousands of IRS agents that
Speaker 3: just came down a few minutes ago. I can't I
Speaker 3: don't know how else to describe this other than like
Speaker 3: it's basically like the Buchanan Nite wing of the Republican
Speaker 3: Party and the Ron Paul wing of the Republican Party.
Speaker 3: The Buchananites are much more nationalistic and you know, border hawks,
Speaker 3: but also very anti war, very anti nWo. And then
Speaker 3: the Row Paul libertarian wing obviously, which I'm more a
Speaker 3: member of. But like the it's this confluence of these
Speaker 3: two movements that is really having life breathed back into it.
Speaker 3: I didn't expect it. I'll just I'll just be honest,
Speaker 3: like I did not expect Jade Vance and Trump to
Speaker 3: represent in so many ways. It's it's weird. It's weird,
Speaker 3: Like did anybody see this coming. I'm sure some people did,
Speaker 3: but my goodness, it's amazing. Anyways, let's get in the speech. Actually,
Speaker 3: before we watch the speech, let's talk about some of
Speaker 3: the commentary we're getting. This is from a congresswoman out
Speaker 3: of Pennsylvania. Her name is Christy Hulahan. She says, I'm
Speaker 3: struggling for the words to describe my disappointment with Vice
Speaker 3: President Vance's speech at the Munich Security Conference. I feel
Speaker 3: as though all of Europe and half of America deserve
Speaker 3: an apology. VP Vance chided and derided Europe for the
Speaker 3: very things that our great nation is wrestling with. He
Speaker 3: maligned the continent's leaders and voted with when our own
Speaker 3: house is not in order. According to him, Europe is
Speaker 3: retreating away from free speech and is making wrong choices
Speaker 3: about who should be part of a free society. He
Speaker 3: maligned them for not leading with the right values and
Speaker 3: for persecuting those who disagree with them.
Speaker 4: He also spent time scoffing at.
Speaker 3: The idea that Romania's election was possibly compromised, with not
Speaker 3: a whiff of a mention of the violence of January sixth,
Speaker 3: of the attempt to annul our own election of twenty twenty,
Speaker 3: and not a word about Ukraine or Russia. The hypocrisy
Speaker 3: is just more than I can take. I'm sorry. This
Speaker 3: does not reflect who we are and how much we
Speaker 3: value the European continent. Wrong, wrong, Chrissy. This is exactly
Speaker 3: how who we are and how we feel about the
Speaker 3: European continent. And also when you say I'm struggling for
Speaker 3: words to describe and then you go on, you know,
Speaker 3: multi paragraph screed, yeah, you're just being performative.
Speaker 4: So I'm not buying it.
Speaker 3: So I just wanted you to get an idea of
Speaker 3: the Democrat class's you know, response to jad Evans. You
Speaker 3: already know it's good if they hate it this much,
Speaker 3: you know it's good. Let's get into it.
Speaker 1: Thanks to all the gathered delegates and luminaries and media professionals,
Speaker 1: and thanks especially to the host of the Munich Security
Speaker 1: Conference for being able to put on such an incredible event.
Speaker 1: Were of course thrilled to be here. We're happy to
Speaker 1: be here, and you know, one of the things that
Speaker 1: I wanted to talk about today is of course our
Speaker 1: shared values. And you know, it's great to be back
Speaker 1: in Germany. As as you heard earlier, I was here
Speaker 1: last year as United States Senator. I saw a foreign
Speaker 1: minister excuse me, Foreign Secretary David Lammy, and joke that
Speaker 1: both of us last year had different jobs than we
Speaker 1: have now. But now it's time for all of our countries,
Speaker 1: for all of those who have been fortunate enough to
Speaker 1: be given political power by our respective peoples to use
Speaker 1: it wisely to improve their lives. And I want to
Speaker 1: say that I was fortunate in my time here to
Speaker 1: spend some time outside the walls of this conference over
Speaker 1: the last twenty four hours, and I've been so impressed
Speaker 1: by the hospitality of the people, even as of course,
Speaker 1: as they're reeling from yesterday's horrendous attack.
Speaker 2: And the first time I was ever in.
Speaker 1: Munich was was with my wife actually, who's here with
Speaker 1: me today on a personal trip. And I've always loved
Speaker 1: the city of Munich, and I've always loved its people,
Speaker 1: and I just want to say that we're very moved,
Speaker 1: and our thoughts and prayers are with Munich and everybody
Speaker 1: affected by the evil and inflicted on this beautiful community.
Speaker 1: We're thinking about you, We're praying for you, and we
Speaker 1: will certainly be rooting for you in the days and
Speaker 1: weeks to come.
Speaker 3: Quick explanation there, that is in regards to the attack
Speaker 3: on Christmas. I think it was Christmas Eve in Munich.
Speaker 3: It was the vehicle attack. I covered it a couple
Speaker 3: months ago now here.
Speaker 1: I hope that's not the last bit of applause that
Speaker 1: I get. But we gather at this conference, of course
Speaker 1: to discuss security, and normally we mean threats to our
Speaker 1: external security. I see many great military leaders gathered here today.
Speaker 2: But while the Trump administration.
Speaker 1: Is very concerned with European security and believes that we
Speaker 1: can come to a reasonable settlement between Russia and Ukraine,
Speaker 1: and we also believe that it's important in the coming
Speaker 1: years for Europe to step up in a big way
Speaker 1: to provide for its own defense. The threat that I
Speaker 1: worry the most about visa the Europe is not Russia,
Speaker 1: it's not China, it's not any.
Speaker 2: Other external actor.
Speaker 1: And what I worry about is the threat from within,
Speaker 1: the retreat of Europe from some of its most fundamental
Speaker 1: values you shared with the United States of America. Now
Speaker 1: I have struck that a former European commissioner went on
Speaker 1: television recently and sounded delighted that the Romanian government had
Speaker 1: just annulled an entire election. He warned that if things
Speaker 1: don't go to plan, the very same thing could happen
Speaker 1: in Germany too. Now these cavalier statements are shocking to
Speaker 1: American ears. For years, we've been told that everything we
Speaker 1: fund and support is in the name of our shared
Speaker 1: democratic values. Everything from our Ukraine policy to digital censorship
Speaker 1: is billed as a defense of democracy. But when we
Speaker 1: see European courts canceling elections and senior officials threatening to
Speaker 1: cancel others, we ought to ask whether we're holding ourselves
Speaker 1: to an appropriately high standard. And I say ourselves because
Speaker 1: I fundamentally believe that we are on the same team.
Speaker 1: US do more than talk about democratic values, we.
Speaker 2: Must live them.
Speaker 3: We're only three and a half minutes in and you
Speaker 3: can already see it's just a shot across the bow,
Speaker 3: like right out the gate.
Speaker 4: And I love that.
Speaker 3: He butters him up by saying, you know, I love Munich,
Speaker 3: I love the people of Munich, I love coming here,
Speaker 3: blah blah blah, and he gets an applause line after
Speaker 3: he you know, shares his condolences for the attack that
Speaker 3: happened last month, and then he says knowingly, he goes,
Speaker 3: I hope that's not the last applause line I get
Speaker 3: during this speech, because he knows where this speech is going.
Speaker 3: And it's really important, man, I mean, it's just so important.
Speaker 3: This actually reminds me a lot of when Trump, I
Speaker 3: don't remember what year, it was, probably twenty seventeen, maybe eighteen.
Speaker 3: He goes to the World Economic for him and he
Speaker 3: gives a speech and he just talks about how like, yeah,
Speaker 3: we're not gonna go away from nationalistic desires or priorities.
Speaker 4: The truth is plain to see.
Speaker 5: If you want freedom, take pride in your kind. If
Speaker 5: you want democracy, hold on to your sovereignty, and if
Speaker 5: you want peace, love your nation.
Speaker 4: Wise leaders always.
Speaker 5: Put the good of their own people and their own
Speaker 5: country first. The future does not belong to globalists. The
Speaker 5: future belongs to patriots. The future belongs to sovereign and
Speaker 5: independent nations who protect their citizens, respect their neighbors, and
Speaker 5: honor the differences that make each country special and unique.
Speaker 4: Like, we're not doing this, We're not doing this globalist thing.
Speaker 3: And essentially what Jadie Vance is doing is he's going
Speaker 3: in there and he is chastising them.
Speaker 4: I mean, he is just telling them, Hey, you guys
Speaker 4: are hypocrites.
Speaker 3: You lecture the entire world about defending democracy while you
Speaker 3: simultaneously threaten democracy with said ship and election overthrows, which
Speaker 3: is what happened in Romania. I mean, it's it really
Speaker 3: is galling. But just just to have an American politician,
Speaker 3: particularly the vice president of the United States, which I
Speaker 3: for somehow that still doesn't feel real to me, But yeah,
Speaker 3: that's who this guy is. He's second in chain of
Speaker 3: command for the presidency. Yeah, I mean, to have the
Speaker 3: vice president of the United States go to the Munich
Speaker 3: Security Conference and just lecture them about how they are
Speaker 3: the primary threat. It ain't China, it ain't Russia. It
Speaker 3: ain't North Korea, it's not even Iran, which you would
Speaker 3: expect the old guard of the GOP to harp on.
Speaker 3: He's sayings in it's within, it's you, it's the people
Speaker 3: in this room listening to him right now. You are
Speaker 3: the threats to democracy profound.
Speaker 2: Now within living memory of many of you in this room.
Speaker 2: The Cold War.
Speaker 1: Positioned defenders of democracy against much more tyrannical forces on
Speaker 1: this continent. And consider the side in that fight that
Speaker 1: censored dissidence, that closed churches, that canceled elections. Were they
Speaker 1: the good guys? Certainly not? And thank god they lost
Speaker 1: the Cold War. They lost because they neither valued nor
Speaker 1: respected all of the extraordinary blessings of liberty, the freedom
Speaker 1: to surprise, to make mistakes, to invent, to build. As
Speaker 1: it turns out, you can't mandate innovation or creativity, just
Speaker 1: as you can't force people what to think, what to feel,
Speaker 1: or what to believe. And we believe those things are
Speaker 1: certainly connected.
Speaker 4: Just quick interjection.
Speaker 3: He is analogizing them to the USSR, to the communists.
Speaker 3: He's saying, y'all are behaving as communists. Look at all
Speaker 3: these military people. It's like NATO officials. It's the entire
Speaker 3: European military alliance. This is crazy.
Speaker 1: Fortunately, when I look at Europe today, it's sometimes not
Speaker 1: so clear what happened to some of the Cold Wars winners.
Speaker 1: I look to Brussels, where EU Commission commissars warned citizens
Speaker 1: that they intend to shut down social media during times
Speaker 1: of civil unrest the moment they spot what they've judged to.
Speaker 2: Be quote, hateful content.
Speaker 1: Or to this very country where police have carried out
Speaker 1: raids against citizens suspected of posting anti feminist comments online
Speaker 1: as part of quote combating misogyny on the Internet.
Speaker 2: A day of action. I looked to Sweden.
Speaker 1: We're two weeks ago the government convicted a Christian activist
Speaker 1: for participating in Kuran burnings that resulted in his friend's murder,
Speaker 1: and as the judge in his case chillingly noted, Sweden's
Speaker 1: laws to supposedly protect free expression do not in fact
Speaker 1: grant and I'm quoting a free pass to do or
Speaker 1: say anything without risking offending.
Speaker 2: The group that holds that belief.
Speaker 1: And perhaps most concerningly, I look to our very dear friends,
Speaker 1: the United Kingdom, where the backslide away from conscience rights
Speaker 1: has placed the basic liberties of religious Britons in particular,
Speaker 1: in the crosshairs.
Speaker 2: A little over two years ago.
Speaker 1: The British government charged Adam Smith Connor, a fifty one
Speaker 1: year old physiotherapist and an Army veteran, with the heinous
Speaker 1: crime of standing fifty meters from an abortion clinic and
Speaker 1: silently praying for three minutes, not obstructing anyone, not interacting
Speaker 1: with anyone, just silently praying on his own. After British
Speaker 1: law enforcement spotted him and demanded to know what he
Speaker 1: was praying for, Adam replied simply, it was on behalf
Speaker 1: of the unborn son he and his former girlfriend had
Speaker 1: aboarded years before.
Speaker 2: Now, the officers were not moved.
Speaker 1: Adam was found guilty of breaking the government's new buffer
Speaker 1: zones law, which criminalized as silent prayer and other actions
Speaker 1: that could influence a person's decision within two hundred meters
Speaker 1: of an abortion facility. He was sentenced to pay thousands
Speaker 1: of pounds in legal costs.
Speaker 2: To the prosecution.
Speaker 1: Now, I wish I could say that this was a fluke,
Speaker 1: a one off, crazy example of a badly written law
Speaker 1: being enacted against.
Speaker 2: A single person.
Speaker 1: But no, this last October Just a few months ago,
Speaker 1: the Scottish government began distributing letters to citizens whose houses
Speaker 1: lay within so called safe access zones, warning them that
Speaker 1: even private prayer within their own homes may amount to
Speaker 1: breaking the law. Naturally, the government urged readers to report
Speaker 1: any fellow citizens suspected guilty of thought crime. In Britain
Speaker 1: and across Europe, free speech, I fear is in retreat
Speaker 1: and in the interests of comedy, my friends, but also
Speaker 1: in the interests of truth.
Speaker 2: I will admit that sometimes.
Speaker 1: The loudest voices for censorship have come not from within Europe,
Speaker 1: but from within my own country, where the prior administration
Speaker 1: threatened and bullied social media companies to censors so called misinformation.
Speaker 1: Misinformation like, for example, the idea that coronavirus had likely
Speaker 1: leaped leaked from a laboratory in China, our own government
Speaker 1: encouraged private companies to silence people who dared to utter
Speaker 1: what turned out to be an obvious truth. So I
Speaker 1: come here today not just with an observation, but with
Speaker 1: an offer.
Speaker 2: And just as the Biden.
Speaker 1: Administration seemed desperate to silence people for speaking their minds,
Speaker 1: so the Trump administration will do precisely the opposite, and
Speaker 1: I hope that we can work together on that.
Speaker 3: I think it's so important that he didn't just go
Speaker 3: over there pointing a finger, but rather pointing the finger
Speaker 3: back at our own country, because, as you know, I mean,
Speaker 3: I cover this with you guys every week. It's all
Speaker 3: of the dangers of speech suppression and censorship that is
Speaker 3: that the Europeans are experiencing it. We experienced it very
Speaker 3: stark fashion in twenty one in particular, it was really bad.
Speaker 3: Now they seem to have even additional problems when it
Speaker 3: comes to prayer and things of that nature, which I
Speaker 3: don't think we are suffering yet. Unfortunately, if you only
Speaker 3: point a finger and you don't admit your own country's faults,
Speaker 3: then it comes off as kind of school marmish and
Speaker 3: lecturing as opposed to these are my actual principles, and
Speaker 3: you're falling short, and so are we. Let's work on
Speaker 3: being better together. I hope that that's a more productive avenue,
Speaker 3: though I doubt they will feel the way I do
Speaker 3: about it.
Speaker 1: In Washington, there is a new sheriff in town, and
Speaker 1: under Donald Trump's leadership, we may.
Speaker 2: Disagree with your views, but we.
Speaker 1: Will fight to defend your right to offer it, and
Speaker 1: the public square agree or disagree.
Speaker 4: That's a tepid applause, is it not.
Speaker 1: Now we're at the point, of course, that the situation
Speaker 1: has gotten so bad that this December, Romania straight up
Speaker 1: canceled the results of a presidential election based on the
Speaker 1: flimsy suspicions of an intelligence agency and enormous pressure from
Speaker 1: its continental neighbors. Now, as I understand it, the argument
Speaker 1: was that Russian disinformation had infected the Romanian elections. But
Speaker 1: I'd ask my European friends to have some perspective. You
Speaker 1: can believe it's wrong for Russia to buy social media
Speaker 1: advertisements to influence your elections, We certainly do.
Speaker 2: You can condemn it on.
Speaker 1: The world stage even but if your democracy can be
Speaker 1: destroyed with a few hundred thousand dollars of digital advertising
Speaker 1: from a foreign country, then it wasn't very strong to
Speaker 1: begin with.
Speaker 3: There's like two people clapping in this room filled with
Speaker 3: hundreds of people. Oh my goodness, I mean, it's just
Speaker 3: so obviously true. It's so obviously true that, yes, if
Speaker 3: we don't want to have foreign interference and influence in
Speaker 3: our elections, but it is inevitable to a certain extent.
Speaker 3: And if you're going to cancel elections because of online advertisising,
Speaker 3: which is what they attempted to do with Donald Trump
Speaker 3: and what they actually did in Romania, well then your
Speaker 3: system is incredibly fragile, incredibly fragile. So I hope that
Speaker 3: this I hope that this actually lands with some people
Speaker 3: in this room. I sincerely doubt it is, though, but
Speaker 3: I am kind of enjoying their agony, to be honest.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: The good news is that I happen to think your
Speaker 1: democracies are substantially less brittle than many people apparently fear,
Speaker 1: and I really do believe that it'll allowing our citizens
Speaker 1: to speak their mind will make them stronger still, which
Speaker 1: of course brings us back to Munich, where the organizers
Speaker 1: of this very conference have banned lawmakers representing populist parties
Speaker 1: on both the left and the right from participating in
Speaker 1: these conversations. Now, again, we don't have to agree with
Speaker 1: everything or anything that people say, but when people represent,
Speaker 1: when political leaders represent an important constituency, it is an
Speaker 1: incumbent upon us to at least participate in dialogue with them,
Speaker 1: not to many of us on the other side of
Speaker 1: the Atlantic, it looks more and more like old entrenched
Speaker 1: interests hiding behind ugly Soviet era words like misinformation and disinformation,
Speaker 1: who simply don't like the idea that somebody with an
Speaker 1: alternative viewpoint might express a different opinion or god forbid,
Speaker 1: vote a different.
Speaker 2: Way, or even worse when an election.
Speaker 3: Man, I mean, just think about how far we've fallen
Speaker 3: that to go to the Munich Security Conference and talk
Speaker 3: to basically all of the leaders of Europe and to
Speaker 3: and not not just Europe, other countries too, but to
Speaker 3: have to go there and explain the value of free
Speaker 3: speech to the Western world. I mean, we were so
Speaker 3: far down the slippery slope, so far like you could
Speaker 3: almost not even see us anymore. We were so far
Speaker 3: down it that you have to go and explain that, Yes,
Speaker 3: people you don't agree with, get to talk. Political parties
Speaker 3: you don't agree with, get to actually exist. I mean, specifically,
Speaker 3: what he's referencing here, in my opinion, is the AfD,
Speaker 3: which is the from my vantage point, it's the center right.
Speaker 3: Some say it's the libertarian right wing of the German
Speaker 3: political parties. Obviously, our media and European liberal media describe
Speaker 3: it as the alt right. I don't think that's it
Speaker 3: at all. I think it is a nationalist libertarian movement
Speaker 3: to a large extent. But regardless, they are trying to
Speaker 3: essentially keep them out of power and trying to demonize
Speaker 3: them in the media and doing exactly what they did
Speaker 3: to MAGA in America. I mean, that's what's happening, crystal clear.
Speaker 3: So I think this is just so profound to have
Speaker 3: the Vice president of the United States that has to
Speaker 3: go to europe Western liberal democracy epicenter and explain to
Speaker 3: them that, hey, in a liberal democracy, you actually have
Speaker 3: to have some liberal values like free speech. What do
Speaker 3: you think about that? And they're mortified to hear him
Speaker 3: say this. It's amazing.
Speaker 1: Now, this is a security conference, and I'm sure you
Speaker 1: all came here prepared to talk about how exactly you
Speaker 1: attend to increase defense spending over the next few years
Speaker 1: in line with some new target And that's great because,
Speaker 1: as President Trump has made abundantly clear, he believed that
Speaker 1: our European friends must play a bigger role in the
Speaker 1: future of this continent. We don't think you hear this
Speaker 1: term burden sharing, but we think it's an important part
Speaker 1: of being in a shared alliance together that the Europeans
Speaker 1: step up while America focuses on areas of the world
Speaker 1: that are in great danger.
Speaker 2: But let me also ask you, how will you.
Speaker 1: Even begin to think through the kinds of budgeting questions
Speaker 1: if we don't know what it is that we are
Speaker 1: defending in the first place. I've heard a lot already
Speaker 1: in my conversations, and I've had many, many great conversations
Speaker 1: with many people gathered here in this room. I've heard
Speaker 1: a lot about what you need to defend yourselves from,
Speaker 1: and of course that's important. But what has seemed a
Speaker 1: little bit less clear to me, and certainly I think
Speaker 1: to many of the citizens of Europe, is what exactly
Speaker 1: it is that you're defending yourselves for.
Speaker 4: This is very interesting.
Speaker 3: So the angle he's taking on this is the one
Speaker 3: that you know, Tucker Carlson has been espousing for about
Speaker 3: a year now, is that like, sure, we won World
Speaker 3: War Two, but what did we win? Where is Western
Speaker 3: you know, democracy? Where is the freedom that we fought for?
Speaker 4: Where is it? Revoting asking my answering my question.
Speaker 6: Which is why do we have so many guns?
Speaker 4: Didn't answer free?
Speaker 3: Didn't one that ourselves will used to have guns to you.
Speaker 6: Now, then you, guys, after the Second World War, which
Speaker 6: was like a liberation war, and you won, you lost
Speaker 6: all your freedom and now you can't even express.
Speaker 2: Your political opinions, so they put you in jail.
Speaker 4: So like, how did you win? How did you win?
Speaker 4: Is what victory looks like.
Speaker 6: You lose all your rights, your economy gets destroyed.
Speaker 4: You we want bankers.
Speaker 3: Oh I won, we won because I'm conducting this interview
Speaker 3: in German, which I wouldn't be linguistic, so I speak German.
Speaker 4: Big goose stepping around my yard in England. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 4: but you.
Speaker 6: Are good stepping people arrested for praying.
Speaker 4: We literally won our freedom from people.
Speaker 3: Know, where's your freedom you can get? I'm as free
Speaker 3: as you could possibly want of human being.
Speaker 4: Defend yourself.
Speaker 6: You can't who comes into your country, and you can't
Speaker 6: criticize government policies or you get arrested.
Speaker 2: So how are you free?
Speaker 4: Your slave?
Speaker 3: Tucker has been lambasted for this. He has been criticized
Speaker 3: to the highest levels, and I think in part because
Speaker 3: it kind of shatters the World War two, in my opinion,
Speaker 3: myth that it was just pure good versus evil, and
Speaker 3: that the victors were the defenders of freedom. And it's
Speaker 3: that simple, and that once victorious, well then we just
Speaker 3: carried on this mantle of freedom in liberty and that's
Speaker 3: all there is to it. But what he has done,
Speaker 3: and what Jade Vance is doing right now at the
Speaker 3: Munich Security Conference, is he's saying, what values are you defending?
Speaker 3: What values do you believe in? What values do your
Speaker 3: people deserve? Perhaps most importantly, what values and what rights
Speaker 3: and liberties do your people possess? Very very important? And
Speaker 3: I think, oh, man, now I'm understanding. I only watched
Speaker 3: the first five minutes of the speech. Now I'm understanding
Speaker 3: why this is so powerful or and why this is
Speaker 3: so controversial.
Speaker 1: What is the positive vision that animates this shared security
Speaker 1: compact that we all believe is so important? And I
Speaker 1: believe deeply that there is no security if you are
Speaker 1: afraid of the voices, the opinions, and the conscience that
Speaker 1: guide your very own people. Europe faces many challenges, but
Speaker 1: the crisis this continent faces right now, the crisis I
Speaker 1: believe we all face together, is one of our own making.
Speaker 1: If you're running in fear of your own voters, there
Speaker 1: is nothing America can do for you, nor for that matter,
Speaker 1: is there anything that you can do for the American
Speaker 1: people who elected me and elected President Trump.
Speaker 3: That was I always forget which brother it was, but
Speaker 3: that was either Vladimir Vadelli Klitchko, former heavyweight champion in
Speaker 3: the world and Ukrainian politician that was listening to that.
Speaker 3: I think it's just such an important point though. If
Speaker 3: you're afraid of your own people, yeah, we're not going
Speaker 3: to be We're not going to have your back and
Speaker 3: should like should we if the if the government of
Speaker 3: your country is the enemy of its own people, why
Speaker 3: should we be your ally? Why should we have your back?
Speaker 3: And the same should be said for you know, America.
Speaker 3: I even said this to some controversy a couple.
Speaker 4: Of weeks ago.
Speaker 3: It's like, would I fight and die for America? It's like,
Speaker 3: I would absolutely fight and die for freedom. I would
Speaker 3: absolutely fight and die for the ideals that America represents.
Speaker 3: But under the Biden administration, Like, if you were to
Speaker 3: ask me in late twenty twenty, you're going to fight
Speaker 3: and die for America? Clint, Yeah, probably not? Like, why
Speaker 3: would I risk everything to defend this land mass that
Speaker 3: is currently governed by a government that has me locked
Speaker 3: in my home like the answer is no, no, it's
Speaker 3: a tyrannical government. It was a clear tyrannical totalitarian even
Speaker 3: government in twenty twenty. Why should why should I fight
Speaker 3: for it? And the same lesson is being applied by
Speaker 3: JD here, he's saying, why should why should we be
Speaker 3: defending you? And can you even defend yourselves? If your
Speaker 3: people are in opposition to the trajectory of things.
Speaker 1: You need democratic mandates to accomplish anything of value in
Speaker 1: the coming years. Have we learned nothing that thin mandates
Speaker 1: produce unstable results?
Speaker 2: But there is so much of value that can.
Speaker 1: Be accomplished with the kind of democratic mandate that I
Speaker 1: think will come from being more responsive to the voices
Speaker 1: of your citizens. If you're going to enjoy competitive economies,
Speaker 1: if you're going to enjoy affordable energy and secure supply chains,
Speaker 1: then you need mandates to govern because you have to
Speaker 1: make difficult choices to enjoy all of these things. And
Speaker 1: of course we know that very well in America. You
Speaker 1: cannot win a democratic mandate by censoring your opponents or
Speaker 1: putting them in jail, whether that's the leader of the opposition,
Speaker 1: A humble Christian praying in her own home, or a
Speaker 1: journalist trying to report the news.
Speaker 2: Nor can you win one.
Speaker 1: By disregarding your basic electorate on questions like who gets
Speaker 1: to be a part of our shared society, and of
Speaker 1: all the pressings challenges that the nation's represented here face,
Speaker 1: I believe there is nothing more urgent.
Speaker 2: Than mass migration.
Speaker 1: Today, almost one in five people living in this country
Speaker 1: moved here from abroad.
Speaker 2: That is, of course an all time high.
Speaker 1: It's a similar number, by the way, in the United States,
Speaker 1: also an all time high.
Speaker 2: The number of immigrants who.
Speaker 1: Entered the EU from non EU countries doubled between twenty
Speaker 1: twenty one and twenty twenty to alone, and of course
Speaker 1: it's gotten much higher since. And we know the situation.
Speaker 1: It didn't materialize in a vacuum. It's the result of
Speaker 1: a series of conscious decisions made by politicians all over
Speaker 1: the continent and others across the world, over the span
Speaker 1: of a decade.
Speaker 3: A little bit more than a decade, to be honest,
Speaker 3: I think that it really got its legs under the
Speaker 3: UN in the mid two thousands. When you know, I've
Speaker 3: given you the whole history on this. But because of
Speaker 3: the climate change concerns, they had the UN conference in
Speaker 3: New York City in nineteen ninety nine, I believe it was,
Speaker 3: and they were talking about, you know, what the next
Speaker 3: century was going to look like, and how the focus
Speaker 3: had to be prevention of climate change. Then you have
Speaker 3: the ESG framework that comes out in the mid two
Speaker 3: thousands through the United Nations, which also encompasses within it
Speaker 3: the DEI Framework, but also this reparations via migrations from
Speaker 3: the Third World into the Western World or to the
Speaker 3: first World, which is kind of synonymous, and that is
Speaker 3: where this entire NGO USAID funding starts to cycle out.
Speaker 3: So he's right that, like the immigration crisis really began
Speaker 3: about a decade ago, but the ideas behind it began
Speaker 3: a little bit earlier, and it's created by many of
Speaker 3: the people sitting in this room that he is lecturing currently.
Speaker 3: Powerful quick interjection from our homie, Mike Lindell over at
Speaker 3: MyPillow dot com. If you need new blankets, new bed sheets,
Speaker 3: new slippers, you know, like whatever, bro you need to
Speaker 3: get more cozy, you know where to go. It's my
Speaker 3: pillow Yo eight hundredsh eight oh three dish oh three
Speaker 3: three nine is the phone number if you want to
Speaker 3: call in place in order or go to my pillow
Speaker 3: dot com slash lockdown again. That's my pillow dot com
Speaker 3: slash lockdown, Get cozy, get crazy, get a new comforter
Speaker 3: MyPillow dot com slash lockdown.
Speaker 1: We saw the whores wrought by these decisions yesterday in
Speaker 1: this very city, and of course I can't bring it
Speaker 1: up again without thinking about the terrible victims who had
Speaker 1: a beautiful winter day in Munich ruined. Our thoughts and
Speaker 1: prayers are with them and will remain with them. But
Speaker 1: why did this happen in the first place. It's a
Speaker 1: terrible story, but it's one we've heard way too many
Speaker 1: times in Europe and unfortunately too many times in the
Speaker 1: United States as well. An asylum seeker, often a young
Speaker 1: man in his mid twenties, already known to police, rams
Speaker 1: a car into a crowd and shatters a community. How
Speaker 1: many times must we suffer these appalling setbacks before we
Speaker 1: change course and take our shared civilization in a new direction.
Speaker 1: No voter on this continent went to the ballot box
Speaker 1: to open the floodgates to millions of unvetted immigrants.
Speaker 2: But you know what they did vote for.
Speaker 1: And England, they voted for Brexit and agree or disagree,
Speaker 1: they voted for it, and more and more, they're all
Speaker 1: over Europe. They're voting for political leaders who promise to
Speaker 1: put an end to out of control migration. Now, I
Speaker 1: happen to agree with a lot of these concerns, but
Speaker 1: you don't have to agree with me.
Speaker 2: I just think that people care about.
Speaker 1: Their homes, they care about their dreams, they care about
Speaker 1: their safety and their capacity to provide for themselves and
Speaker 1: their children, and they're smart. I think this is one
Speaker 1: of the most important things I've learned.
Speaker 2: In my brief time in politics.
Speaker 1: Contrary to what you might hear a couple mountains over
Speaker 1: in Davos, the citizens of all of our nations don't
Speaker 1: generally think of themselves as educated animals or as interchangeable
Speaker 1: cogs of a global economy.
Speaker 3: Oof, all right, that one's deep requires a little nuanced
Speaker 3: and explanations. So when he says a couple of mountains
Speaker 3: over in Davos, that's a direct shot at the World
Speaker 3: Economic Forum, obviously. And the other reference that he says
Speaker 3: is that our people are not just cogs in the
Speaker 3: machine of an economy or a global economy. It's like
Speaker 3: that is that is really the primary complaint of the
Speaker 3: average Trump supporter is that, like, there has not been
Speaker 3: a prioritization of the American workingman. I mean, this has
Speaker 3: been a common concern amongst Americans and all people forever
Speaker 3: all over the world. But the Democrats used to represent
Speaker 3: that interest, at least in rhetoric. Whether or not they
Speaker 3: actually ever helped them is kind of irrelevant, but they
Speaker 3: the Democratic Party was the working class, blue collar party
Speaker 3: for you know, decades and decades, certainly under the JFK
Speaker 3: and LBJ and the whole welfare state. It was all
Speaker 3: framed as like, we're helping the poor, we're helping the
Speaker 3: middle class. And you know what JD is saying here
Speaker 3: is that there's been this perception. In fact, Sam Hyde
Speaker 3: went on this rant when he was critiquing vivig Ramaswami's
Speaker 3: take on the one B visa. You know, controversy is like,
Speaker 3: we're not just fucking cogs and a machine for aig.
Speaker 3: You know, this is Sam Hid talking, not me. That's
Speaker 3: not how this works. You know, we are a people
Speaker 3: of a country, and I think this is really the
Speaker 3: divide in the fight that you're seeing wage not just
Speaker 3: in America, but all over the world of nationalistic desires
Speaker 3: of showing a primary concern for your people, your countrymen
Speaker 3: before the rest of the world. I mean, this is
Speaker 3: the whole moniker of maga. Is America first or make
Speaker 3: America great again? Like the priority is supposed to be America,
Speaker 3: and it hasn't been. What they mean by that, what
Speaker 3: most Trump supporters mean by that, well, I can't speak
Speaker 3: for all of them, but what I what I take
Speaker 3: away from it is we need to focus on our
Speaker 3: laboring class first before we concern ourselves with the needs
Speaker 3: of migrants. And I personally think that's a reasonable thing
Speaker 3: to say that, Hey, I live here, I was born here,
Speaker 3: I pay taxes into the system. I ought to come
Speaker 3: as a higher priority than some refugee or some economic
Speaker 3: migrant that comes from wherever else on the rest of
Speaker 3: the planet that has never contributed anything to the American
Speaker 3: government financially, hasn't contributed anything in terms.
Speaker 4: Of labor either.
Speaker 3: They just got here, but they come in and they
Speaker 3: get kind of a priority service, and from Democrat systems
Speaker 3: and welfare establishments, they actually pay them, many of them,
Speaker 3: and some of them have gotten funding to make the
Speaker 3: trek here via NGOs which once again means that the
Speaker 3: American working class is being taxed and then they are
Speaker 3: funding their own replacement, their own immigration or invasion, depending
Speaker 3: on your perception.
Speaker 4: So this is.
Speaker 3: A real challenge to the whole globalist world order. Like
Speaker 3: the globalist mentality of yeah, citizenry is not really relevant.
Speaker 3: We are all global citizens, you know. That is the
Speaker 3: type of stuff that you hear or that you used
Speaker 3: to hear at nauseum at Davos, at the World Economic Forum.
Speaker 4: We're global citizens.
Speaker 3: We must concern ourselves with global concerns.
Speaker 4: At this point.
Speaker 3: We must work in tandem corporations and government and stakeholders
Speaker 3: contrary to the interests or desires of our people, and
Speaker 3: we must force upon them our utopia. I mean, that
Speaker 3: is genuinely their worldview. It's sick, and he is just
Speaker 3: demolishing it to their faces.
Speaker 1: And it's hardly surprising that they don't want to be
Speaker 1: shuffled about.
Speaker 2: Or relentlessly ignored by their leaders.
Speaker 1: And it is the business of democracy to adjudicate these
Speaker 1: big questions at the ballot box.
Speaker 2: I believe the.
Speaker 1: Dismissing people, dismissing their concerns, or worse yet, shutting down
Speaker 1: media shutting down elections or shutting.
Speaker 2: People out of the political.
Speaker 1: Process protects nothing. In fact, it is the most surefire
Speaker 1: way to destroy democracy.
Speaker 4: Uh duh.
Speaker 3: Yeah, If you don't let people vote, if you don't
Speaker 3: let people speak, then your democracy is already broken beyond
Speaker 3: repair obviously. Oh and by the way, how can you
Speaker 3: possibly have a electorate that is educated enough, that understands
Speaker 3: current events enough If they can't even know reality, if
Speaker 3: they can't know the truth because you're not allowed to talk. It's,
Speaker 3: on its face, it's counter to any sort of democratic framework.
Speaker 1: And speaking up and expressing opinions isn't election interference, even
Speaker 1: when people express views outside your own country, and even
Speaker 1: when those people are very influential.
Speaker 2: And trust me, I say this with all humor.
Speaker 1: If American democracy can survive ten years of Thunberg scolding,
Speaker 1: you guys can survive a few months of Elon Musk.
Speaker 3: But he is bombing hard in this room. But the
Speaker 3: applause breaks are every populist right winger all over the planet.
Speaker 3: They are all just going, this is the greatest thing
Speaker 3: I have ever fucking heard.
Speaker 4: This is the best.
Speaker 3: If we can handle a decade of lectures from your
Speaker 3: teenage autist Greta Thunberg. Well, then you can handle a
Speaker 3: couple months of lectures from our autist Elon. Isn't that fair?
Speaker 3: I think that's fair. I mean you barely got any laughter.
Speaker 3: It was clearly a chance for a laugh break and
Speaker 3: no one.
Speaker 1: Bit What German democracy, what no democracy, American, German or European,
Speaker 1: will survive, is telling millions of voters that their thoughts
Speaker 1: and concerns, their aspirations they're pleased for relief, are invalid
Speaker 1: or unworthy of even being considered. Democracy rests on the
Speaker 1: sacred principle that the voice of the people matters. There's
Speaker 1: no room for firewalls. You either uphold the principle or
Speaker 1: you don't. Europeans, the people have a voice. European leaders
Speaker 1: have a choice, and my strong belief.
Speaker 2: Is that we do not need to be afraid of
Speaker 2: the future. You can embrace what.
Speaker 1: Your people tell you, even when it's surprising, even when
Speaker 1: you don't agree, and if you do so, you can
Speaker 1: face the future with certainty and with confidence, knowing that
Speaker 1: the nation stands behind each of you. And that, to
Speaker 1: me is the great magic of democracy. It's not in
Speaker 1: these stone build holdings or beautiful hotels. It's not even
Speaker 1: in the great institutions that we have built together as
Speaker 1: a shared society. To believe in democracy is to understand
Speaker 1: that each of our citizens has wisdom and has a voice,
Speaker 1: and if we refuse to listen to that voice, even
Speaker 1: our most successful fights will secure very little. Has Pope
Speaker 1: John Paul the Second, in my view, one of the
Speaker 1: most extraordinary champions of democracy on this continent or any other,
Speaker 1: once said, do not be afraid. We shouldn't be afraid
Speaker 1: of our people, even when they express views that disagree
Speaker 1: with their leadership.
Speaker 2: Thank you all, Good luck to all of you.
Speaker 1: God bless you.
Speaker 6: You fuck you, you you cool, fuck you.
Speaker 2: I'm out.
Speaker 3: Shout out to Stephen Crowder for that edit there from
Speaker 3: Half Baked. Obviously it's not a real video footage of
Speaker 3: JD Vance throwing a hamburger into Canada's face. I just
Speaker 3: want to clarify that for YouTube purposes. It's not really
Speaker 3: that Like what he said is so profound. It's the
Speaker 3: setting in which he says it. To say it to
Speaker 3: all of the technocrats, all of them, I mean they're
Speaker 3: all there, all of the leadership, all of the people
Speaker 3: that were behind the entire twenty twenty to twenty twenty two,
Speaker 3: totalitarian global reshaping of our existence. The people that said
Speaker 3: we can't allow for our citizens to have open dialogue
Speaker 3: during this period. We can't risk it lest they misinform
Speaker 3: one another. You remember it well. I know everybody wants
Speaker 3: to forget it, but it happened, and it was done
Speaker 3: by the people sitting in that fucking audience right in
Speaker 3: front of him, and he's telling them this is not
Speaker 3: a pathway to lasting success, and he's right, it's a
Speaker 3: pathway to revolt. Ultimately, you will be overthrown eventually, Like,
Speaker 3: that's just inevitable. You suppress a free people, they will
Speaker 3: eventually rise up. Now, my hope and the whole reason
Speaker 3: I ultimately broke down and voted for Trump is that
Speaker 3: a peaceful resolution to these matters can be had through
Speaker 3: democratic processes that we can vote to stop it, hopefully,
Speaker 3: and as of now, Trump ROWND two is doing so successfully. Now,
Speaker 3: I have no idea if the AfD in Germany represents
Speaker 3: a similar level of courage and course correction for the
Speaker 3: German people. I haven't studied them enough to say definitively
Speaker 3: and honestly, like, even though I've studied, you know Trump deeply.
Speaker 3: I still can't say definitively you know what his beliefs are.
Speaker 3: So I don't know anything for sure about the af
Speaker 3: D for damn sure. But like my hope is that
Speaker 3: for the people of Germany and those that are interested
Speaker 3: in free speech again and being free people, that they
Speaker 3: can peacefully vote their way back.
Speaker 4: On to that path. And we're going to find out
Speaker 4: people forget.
Speaker 3: But really what happened was and Mike Benz has you know,
Speaker 3: educated me on this, you know the ancient history of this.
Speaker 3: But what the entire kind of USAID framework was established
Speaker 3: for and this whole free speech on the Internet movement
Speaker 3: which used to be pushed by the US State Department
Speaker 3: and pushed by and funded by USAID and the NED,
Speaker 3: the National Dowman for Democracy, is that they they believed
Speaker 3: that if you allowed people to speak freely in countries
Speaker 3: that have you know, dictators or governments that are not good,
Speaker 3: that it would ultimately free them up.
Speaker 4: That it would it would if you just if.
Speaker 3: You just incurridge through your funding to liberalize speech rights
Speaker 3: in these countries, that it could lead to revolutions in
Speaker 3: these countries. Like that was kind of the conceptual framework.
Speaker 3: But what they realized after Trump in twenty sixteen, when
Speaker 3: he won out of nowhere, was that free speech was
Speaker 3: a big fucking problem that if you actually allow for
Speaker 3: us to talk freely and think freely, we might come
Speaker 3: to a conclusion you don't like. And that's what happened
Speaker 3: in twenty sixteen. And you can look at the I mean,
Speaker 3: it is such a clear inflection point by which they go,
Speaker 3: We're pushing free speech all over the world. We're pushing
Speaker 3: free speech platforms. We're trying to reduce censorship in Cuba
Speaker 3: and Brazil and you know, Russia or wherever else to
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, no, no, no, no, no no,
Speaker 3: we're going to get inside of these applications and we're
Speaker 3: going to set the terms of service, and we are
Speaker 3: going to craft hand craft the narrative that is a
Speaker 3: that is permitted not just in America but almost everywhere.
Speaker 3: I mean, that was the that's the idea. It is
Speaker 3: full spectrum dominance, as they say. And as a consequence
Speaker 3: of that, because you have America the leader of you know,
Speaker 3: the free world scare quotes that that starts to believe.
Speaker 4: That way and behave that way.
Speaker 3: Well, that that idea starts to take hold throughout the West.
Speaker 3: I mean, Europe is even worse off than we are.
Speaker 3: Canada is infinitely worse off. The entire woke mind virus
Speaker 3: which we've talked about at nauseum, so I won't go
Speaker 3: back into it, but like the critical theory, the censorship,
Speaker 3: the you can't really be racist against people who who
Speaker 3: are in a position of power. Now who's the person
Speaker 3: in a position of power. Well, it's obviously the straight
Speaker 3: white guy. You can't be racist towards them. You can't
Speaker 3: oppress them. So what's that mean, Well, you can censor
Speaker 3: them because they're already you know, the the perpeture, so
Speaker 3: you don't have to let them speak. That's okay, that's
Speaker 3: permissible under this kind of you know, hierarchy of oppression.
Speaker 3: And when you're pushing this this This is why I
Speaker 3: was so so adamantly opposed to the woke mind virus
Speaker 3: was not just that I disagreed, but that I understood
Speaker 3: where it was going, that it wasn't just about like
Speaker 3: school marmish, Oh, I'm just going to chastise you and
Speaker 3: called you racist all day, Like that's irritating enough, And
Speaker 3: I would oppose that anyways, But like the real existential
Speaker 3: threat behind it is that it doesn't stop there. It
Speaker 3: goes to, Okay, now you're a second class citizen, and
Speaker 3: we're going to use the power of the state to
Speaker 3: censor you specifically, and we're only going to permit narratives
Speaker 3: to propagate that go along with our worldview. Will we
Speaker 3: classify everything you think, say, utter, murmur, a whisper as
Speaker 3: hate speech, that you need to be blacklisted everywhere. You
Speaker 3: can't have a platform. You out of your mind. I
Speaker 3: mean the entire concept of platforming. You can't even have
Speaker 3: someone on your show, Clint that has an opinion that's unpermitted.
Speaker 3: That was a real thing. People genuinely said, don't platform
Speaker 3: this person constantly. They still do it. It's madness. You can't
Speaker 3: platform and you Tate, are you crazy? You can't platform him?
Speaker 4: It's like the.
Speaker 3: Fuck out of here. It's one of the most famous
Speaker 3: people on the planet. You can't platform. They said it
Speaker 3: about the President of the United States. You can't platform him.
Speaker 3: Can't platform Donald Trump. CNN We're not going to platform
Speaker 3: his speech. We're not going to platform it, even though
Speaker 3: he could tweet out his speech and have three hundred
Speaker 3: times more people watch it than would have seen it
Speaker 3: on CNN anyways, setting their delusions aside, but this was
Speaker 3: the existential nature of that threat that like, once you
Speaker 3: function from this critical theory vantage point and then you
Speaker 3: inculcate those values in the government governance model, well then
Speaker 3: it's over. Like there is no freedom to be found,
Speaker 3: and there is no democratic, peaceful resolution by which you might.
Speaker 4: Reclaim those lost liberties.
Speaker 3: And it's just so goddamn important to have Jdevans go
Speaker 3: to the Munich Security Conference and tell all of the
Speaker 3: people that stood behind the entire censorship regime, the entire
Speaker 3: narrative crafting control regime of twenty twenty through twenty twenty two,
Speaker 3: and it still exists to a lesser extent, and just
Speaker 3: tell them you're all fucking assholes. I mean, that's basically
Speaker 3: what he said, right, He's like, you guys are terrible.
Speaker 3: You're terrible, And he knows that it was the energy
Speaker 3: that hated it, you know, it was the people with
Speaker 3: the energy that hated everything that was happening from twenty
Speaker 3: twenty to twenty twenty two that caused his rise to power,
Speaker 3: that put Donald Trump and Jade Vance into the White House,
Speaker 3: and he knows who he's speaking for, and he's speaking
Speaker 3: for people like you and me. I would imagine if
Speaker 3: you listen to the show, you probably agree with much
Speaker 3: of what he had to say there. So I just
Speaker 3: think it's it's really it just continues to prove out
Speaker 3: that the Trump administration Round two, in particular, setting aside
Speaker 3: all of the failures of Round one, it seems to
Speaker 3: genuinely be attempting to reflect the values of their voters. Now,
Speaker 3: I am not perfectly in alignment with everything Jade Vance
Speaker 3: said there, and I'll give just a quick, you know,
Speaker 3: caveat to all this is that, you know, I don't
Speaker 3: think that the immigration flood is the number one issue.
Speaker 3: I think, as he said, the number one issue, and
Speaker 3: I think in some ways he'd probably agree with me.
Speaker 3: This is a bit you know, semantical or order of operations,
Speaker 3: but I think he would probably agree with me that
Speaker 3: the real problem, as he said in the opening of
Speaker 3: that speech, is not the migrants, it's the government. It's
Speaker 3: the government that's funding it. Like that's the issue. If
Speaker 3: you have people that are coming to your country because
Speaker 3: they want a better life, and they're going to work
Speaker 3: their tail off, and they want to embrace American values.
Speaker 3: I don't think jd Vance hates them. He's he's married
Speaker 3: to an a Indian lady. Like I don't think he's
Speaker 3: some full on hawk either, but I think what he's
Speaker 3: what he's saying there is like it is in alignment
Speaker 3: with much of the mega base. That like the biggest
Speaker 3: issue to MAGA, the thing that really you know, plucked
Speaker 3: Trump out of not obscurity, but certainly take took him
Speaker 3: from unplausible to viable. He really embraced the concerns of
Speaker 3: the working class, the blue collars that were seeing their
Speaker 3: jobs absorbed by illegal immigration, Like that was a huge
Speaker 3: that was a huge voting block that was not being heard.
Speaker 3: There was no one representing them from the libertarian right
Speaker 3: that said open borders are good. To the Democrats who
Speaker 3: said open borders are good, there was really and then
Speaker 3: the GOP who lied to them, you know, election after
Speaker 3: elections saying yeah, we're gonna we're gonna handle it, and
Speaker 3: then didn't. And Trump just came in there. He's like,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna I'm your guy, I'm gonna build a wall.
Speaker 3: I think it was Roger Stone that really advised him
Speaker 3: on this.
Speaker 4: I could be wrong. It might have been Steve Bennett.
Speaker 3: But regardless, it was like, it's obvious that he and
Speaker 3: JD understand what put them in a position of power,
Speaker 3: and they're trying to deliver on not just their promises
Speaker 3: but on their rhetoric, but on also like what their
Speaker 3: people want to hear being said. And uh, and it's great,
Speaker 3: it's great to witness, like you want to chastise these
Speaker 3: fucking people. They're totalitarian. He analogized them to the communists
Speaker 3: because they fucking behave like communists that they think it's
Speaker 3: okay to censor. Oh, we're not censoring you, it's just
Speaker 3: that you're hateful. We're trying to prevent hate speech. No,
Speaker 3: you're fucking censoring us. You're absolutely censoring us. There's no
Speaker 3: other way around it. Like the whole reason for free
Speaker 3: speech is so I can say things that you might hate.
Speaker 3: Fucking great, Thank you JD. Vance, Thank you Trump too,
Speaker 3: fire in thousands of agents. This is amazing, man, it's amazing.
Speaker 3: What a time to be alive. Anyways, I hope you
Speaker 3: guys enjoyed this episode. Please do hit the like button, subscribe,
Speaker 3: share it around. I I'll try and do you know
Speaker 3: two or three episodes a week like I had been.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna just have to get accustomed to talking about
Speaker 3: things that make me happy as opposed to things that
Speaker 3: make me mad. What a time would be alive? Things
Speaker 3: that I like are happening. I didn't think it was possible.
Speaker 3: By the way, I gotta do a fact check on myself.
Speaker 3: The attack that I was talking about in Europe was
Speaker 3: actually in a different country on Christmas Eve or a
Speaker 3: different city. The one that he's referencing was actually yesterday.
Speaker 3: There was another vehicle attack in Munich just yesterday. As
Speaker 3: far as I know, it was just, you know, thirty
Speaker 3: nine injured. I don't know that anyone was actually killed,
Speaker 3: which is great if no one died, But that was
Speaker 3: actually specifically what he was referencing. So and we'll get
Speaker 3: you out of here on this. This is the response
Speaker 3: from the German Defense Minister Pastorius, a member of the
Speaker 3: left wing spd AKA or Democrat Party. He reacts to
Speaker 3: VP Vans and he says, this is not acceptable.
Speaker 7: This is why I cannot just ignore what we've heard before.
Speaker 7: I cannot not comment on the speech we heard by
Speaker 7: the US Vice president. We fight for your right to
Speaker 7: be against us that is the motto, one of the
Speaker 7: mottos of the Bundeslier and it stands for our democracy,
Speaker 7: this democracy that was just called into question by the
Speaker 7: US Vice President, and not just the German democracy, but
Speaker 7: Europe as a whole. He spoke of the annulment of democracy,
Speaker 7: and if I understood him correctly, he compares the condition
Speaker 7: of Europe with the condition that prevails in some auto
Speaker 7: authoritarian regimes. Ladies and gentlemen, this is not acceptable.
Speaker 3: That's everyone in that room is clapping because they were
Speaker 3: all just shamed, and he's just telling him. He's lying
Speaker 3: about us. We're the good guys. We didn't censor everybody
Speaker 3: on earth for years. No, no, no, we wouldn't do that.
Speaker 4: We're the good guys.
Speaker 3: Oh, you're going to compare us to fucking some of
Speaker 3: the worst totalitarian countries and leadership, like the communists, like
Speaker 3: the USSR. Fuck you man, No, he's just telling you
Speaker 3: the truth to your fucking faces.
Speaker 4: Deal with it.
Speaker 7: This is not acceptable. This is not the Europe, not
Speaker 7: the democracy where I live and where I think that
Speaker 7: my election campaign right now, and this is not the
Speaker 7: democracy that I witness every day in our parliament, in
Speaker 7: our democracy, every opinion has a voice, and it makes
Speaker 7: it possible for parties that are partly extremists, such as
Speaker 7: the AfD, and they can campaign just as any other
Speaker 7: part This is democracy. And if the vice president had
Speaker 7: the opportunity to switch on his TV set then he
Speaker 7: arrived yesterday, he would have seen one of those candidates
Speaker 7: at prime time TV. By the way, we even admit
Speaker 7: media that spread Russian propaganda and the representatives of the
Speaker 7: federal government answer their questions. Nobody is excluded. But democracy
Speaker 7: does not mean that a vociferous minority will automatically be
Speaker 7: right and they cannot decide what the truth is. It
Speaker 7: does not mean that anyone can say anything. And democracy
Speaker 7: must be able to defend itself against extremists that try
Speaker 7: to destroy it. I am happy to live in Europe
Speaker 7: where this democracy is to every day against its internal
Speaker 7: external enemies.
Speaker 4: It's just such obvious bullshit. I mean, he's saying all
Speaker 4: these people are allowed.
Speaker 3: To talk and run for office, but then at the
Speaker 3: end he goes, but democracy must defend itself against extremists
Speaker 3: that attempt to destroy it. But like what he just
Speaker 3: said one minute prior was that the AfD is extremists.
Speaker 3: So if you're going to argue that these are existential
Speaker 3: threats to democracy by its very nature. You're saying, yeah,
Speaker 3: these people cannot hold power, and there has been maneuvers
Speaker 3: to prevent any populous right wing movement from taking power.
Speaker 3: France comes to mind. McCrone wouldn't step down. It's like,
Speaker 3: this is what. This is the entire thing that's happening
Speaker 3: in Europe, this is the entire paradigm, and it's just
Speaker 3: so dangerous. But this is exactly the rhetoric that you
Speaker 3: and I had to languish under for years when it
Speaker 3: came to Donald Trump, particularly during Joe Biden's administration, when
Speaker 3: they tried to throw the judent jail and lock up
Speaker 3: all of his supporters and censor all of us. They
Speaker 3: try to use the I think it was the thirteenth
Speaker 3: fourteenth Amendment to prevent him from running again, saying he
Speaker 3: was an insurrectionist, Russian disinformation. It's all the same, fucking
Speaker 3: It's the exact same playbook, the exact same playbook. And
Speaker 3: the point that I want to get across to you
Speaker 3: is that that is not a coincidence. The reason the
Speaker 3: playbook is the same is because all of these technocratic
Speaker 3: totalitarians get together at places like Munich or Dogs the
Speaker 3: World Economic Form, and they all sit around and they
Speaker 3: have these conversations. They all talk about game planning this stuff,
Speaker 3: and then they all come up with the same exact
Speaker 3: script that Russia is interfering with our elections, and these
Speaker 3: populous right wingers that believe in a nation state and
Speaker 3: don't believe in unmitigated mass migration, that they are an
Speaker 3: existential threat and they're extremists and their terrorists, and their
Speaker 3: threat's democracy, and we must stop them, no matter what
Speaker 3: it takes. We must stop them. It doesn't matter you're
Speaker 3: not defending your minority voter in your country, if that's
Speaker 3: your worldview. And guess what, we weren't even the minority
Speaker 3: chock elected with the popular vote, and that might happen
Speaker 3: in Germany too, who knows with the a f D,
Speaker 3: especially with Elon you boosting them. And I just can't
Speaker 3: stand these people, man, I just can't stand them.
Speaker 7: And therefore I would like to explicitly contradict and oppose
Speaker 7: the impression that Vice President Vance suggested that our democracies
Speaker 7: oppressed and silence minorities. We not only know against whom
Speaker 7: we defend our countries, but also what we defended full
Speaker 7: it's for democracy, for freedom of opinion, for the rule
Speaker 7: of law, and the dignity of each and everyone, Ladies and.
Speaker 8: Jeerman ladies, ladies and gentlemen. But unlike the Vice President,
Speaker 8: I would also like to focus my speech on the
Speaker 8: most pressing questions of European and trans Atlantic security. The
Speaker 8: last days have confirmed what many had speculated for months.
Speaker 8: The United States are pushing for a quick Pea settlement
Speaker 8: between Russia and Ukraine, and they expect Europe to take
Speaker 8: the lead in securing any agreement that follows.
Speaker 3: Davos or in Munich. It's not just them having conversations
Speaker 3: and cocktail parties where these narratives come to pass or
Speaker 3: where they become agreed upon. It's not just there. It
Speaker 3: is the entire USAID State Department framework by which these
Speaker 3: narratives really get set. And particularly this became obvious when
Speaker 3: it was Brazil with the ouster of Bolsonaro, and it
Speaker 3: was just so exactly the same as what happened to
Speaker 3: Trump in his presidency. They even had their own j six.
Speaker 3: I mean, it was like the exact same script. So
Speaker 3: I don't believe that you see these exact same scripts
Speaker 3: playing out in totally different countries with totally different cultures
Speaker 3: at the exact same time, or you know, with a
Speaker 3: year separation organically.
Speaker 4: You know, call me crazy. I don't think it's happening organically.
Speaker 3: And when you understand that billions of dollars get pushed
Speaker 3: through from the State Department via USA D into the
Speaker 3: NGOs and you have the same terms of service, you know,
Speaker 3: backdoor censorship stuff that's transpiring on big tech to kind
Speaker 3: of craft these narratives and mold the Overton window into
Speaker 3: something that's palatable to you and very counter to any
Speaker 3: sort of dissident movement in your country. It doesn't strike
Speaker 3: me as happenstance. It strikes me as coordinated and intentional.
Speaker 3: And yeah, you're conspiring, I'll say it. You're conspiring. You are,
Speaker 3: so Look, I think it's great, man, even if you
Speaker 3: know JD overstated some things, as the German politician claims,
Speaker 3: which I don't buy, to be honest, but say he
Speaker 3: did overstate some of it.
Speaker 4: Fine.
Speaker 3: I know what we experienced in America and it was atrocious.
Speaker 3: And from everything I've read, it's a very similar thing
Speaker 3: that's happening in most of the Western world and some
Speaker 3: nations far far worse, the UK in particular, And I
Speaker 3: think that any sort of pushback is good. It's desperately
Speaker 3: needed and it's urgent. So kudos to ujd Vance. I
Speaker 3: hope that you don't stop, and I hope that the
Speaker 3: people in that room probably don't give a shit what
Speaker 3: you had to say. But I think that that speech
Speaker 3: and speeches like it will resonate with you know, these
Speaker 3: populous right wing movements that are popping up all throughout
Speaker 3: the West, and it will feed fuel to that, and that,
Speaker 3: ladies and gentlemen, is more than anything, why they wanted
Speaker 3: to prevent Trump round two.
Speaker 4: Leave a comment, let me know what I got wrong.
Speaker 4: Talk to you guys soon. Peace.
Speaker 3: Welcome to liberty lockdown and your park home Delivererity ain't come,
Speaker 3: but that it's on hold.
Speaker 4: Where did it come from and where did it
