Its political order right now is anti-democratic. It's extremely left wing. It's leading to a civilizational suicide. And the United States, which secures all of Europe and is the global hegemon, we are not going to stand for that anymore because we've seen the consequences of that kind of liberal hegemony in America. People absolutely hate it. The majority of Americans voted against it.
And we're not going to tolerate those kinds of abuses in Europe either.
I love the appetite that you saw from the interviewer here. Oh, they didn't know that it was illegal, really, and then you showed up and you got them. If only we could bring these great ideas. She's obviously eager, like so much of the left, to import.
this kind of european police state into america to go after the dastardly online trolls who in any way question in a just way or an unjust way the liberal hegemony over our political order and you can tell there's been a push for many years in america from the left for this and the american people have rejected that most notably in november when they they voted with the popular vote to elect trump and the republicans
but you see the germans doubling down on this at that munich security conference that jd vance spoke at you had the president of germany come out and say that he will not allow social media to subvert his democracy and and it forces you to ask the question What does he think the word democracy means?
I'm not the first to make this observation, but when liberals constantly invoke this term democracy, I don't think it really means what they think it means, or at least what we think it means. Because they've been arguing for years now that when Americans elect Donald Trump, that's a threat to democracy. Of course, by definition, that just is democracy when the people vote for someone.
or when the Hungarians elect Viktor Orban, that's a threat to democracy. When the Italians elect Giorgio Maloney, somehow that's a threat to democracy. When the Brits vote for the Brexit because they don't want mass migration coming in anymore, they want a more accountable government, somehow that's a threat to democracy.
It's quite clear that what these people mean by democracy is really just liberalism. or leftism or this extreme political ideology that ironically now shuts out most of their constituents that is ironically totally opposed to the democracy.
And so when democracy prevails in America and most people say, we don't want this nonsense, we want Trump, we want Vance, and we want to see that in the rest of our civilization as well. This is really shocking because you can see, especially in Germany, how practically this kind of leftism has been implemented in their political order. And so if the U.S.
comes in and says, hey, we've been underwriting all of this for many decades. You have betrayed our shared Western values, and we are not going to underwrite this anymore. And by the way, he who pays the piper calls the tune. So get with the program. It's no surprise that there were many tears at the Munich Security Conference after Vice President Vance spoke.
not it certainly isn't a parking ticket they get but you take the mike wallace approach if your objective is to come to the truth and you can do that either by attempting to be objective and neutral or by taking the opposing view you know and playing the devil's advocate in the conversation but but that is not what the establishment media have been after here it's certainly not what this cbs interview was after when it comes to germany
She was not trying to come to the truth. She was trying to advocate a position, a radical position that most Europeans and most Americans would reject. But she's playing the partisan here, okay? This is partisan activism par excellence. And most Americans are going to look at that and say, this is horrifying. We don't want anything to do with it.
But I think that also helps to explain why for many of the establishment media outlets now, Their ratings have collapsed. And for the establishment liberal politicians, their voter bases have collapsed. And it's why Americans voted for an alternative. There's also just a basic handling of the facts that the left seems to have lost.
You know, Mike Wallace basically knew what he was talking about in this case on CBS. Yet poor Margaret Brennan was discussing free speech in Germany. Megan, the claim that she made, I'm not a scholarly historian or anything like that. I've got a meager undergraduate degree, okay?
But I think if you took remedial history in the sixth grade, you would know that the claim that Margaret Brennan here made was completely insane.
I don't. Yeah, I actually don't know that. I don't know. I understand that in our modern culture, the only historical event that anyone can make any comparisons to is World War II. Every opponent is Hitler. Every political incident is the brink of the Holocaust. This is how our degraded modern media apparatus debates things. So I'm going in already with very low expectations.
but even as people constantly invoke hitler and the holocaust and everything have you ever once heard the suggestion that the holocaust was caused by an abundance of free speech you know if you just look at the year 1933 you can point to a few acts of the nazi party uh the editors act which said that only arians could be journalists the banning as marco ruby alluded to there of the other political parties so you had a totalitarian state
and the Reichstag fire decrees, which severely curtailed civil liberties. Just that alone would seem sufficient to knock down whatever point Margaret Brennan thought she was making. But happily for her, she wasn't even aware of those basic facts of history. And I fear that many of her liberal viewers will be similarly ignorant.
So they have to be corrected by the Secretary of State on really basic facts of history.
The face of it. I recently did a segment on CBS Mornings on the morning news program, and I thought it was very fair. I thought it was actually a very well put together, balanced segment. I thought they did a really, really great job. And so I thought, oh, good, maybe CBS is really moving in this great direction.
