In Germany, insulting someone in public or online is a crime, with online insults potentially incurring higher fines due to their permanence. Even reposting untrue statements can be considered a crime. Authorities are actively curbing online hate speech, as demonstrated by coordinated raids targeting individuals posting racist content. Despite growing concerns over migration and related issues, there's a lack of political will to address these problems effectively. The focus seems to be on prosecuting opinion crimes rather than deporting criminals. My party, the AFD, faces persecution despite being a major opposition force. We're smeared as Nazis and right-wing extremists, but this isn't true. Free speech is eroding, with new laws targeting online expression. People risk punishment for criticizing mass migration. Even if the AFD performs well in elections, other parties may refuse to cooperate, maintaining a firewall against us. It is time to vote to make Germany great again.

The speaker claims Germany has a profitable "hate speech persecution" industry targeting citizens for online posts. Police raids occur for minor offenses, like a €600 fine for a poop emoji. Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck has filed over 800 criminal reports. Germany makes the most legal demands for user data from X within the EU. The German justice system uses AI surveillance to prosecute benign offenses. A law change in 2021 allows harsher punishment for insulting politicians. The company Soldan, described as a "hate crime persecution mafia," scans posts using AI, files thousands of criminal complaints monthly, and shares profits with politicians, with legal costs borne by taxpayers. Hate Aid, funded by the German government, also works to criminalize hate speech and wants to sue X to allow doxxing. The speaker urges support for free speech and fighting against tyranny.

It is illegal to display Nazi symbolism, like a swastika, or deny the Holocaust. Insulting someone in public or online is a crime, with online insults potentially leading to higher fines because they persist indefinitely. German law also prohibits malicious gossip, violent threats, and fake quotes. Reposting untrue statements is also a crime because the reader can't distinguish whether you just invented this or just reposted it. Punishments for hate speech can include jail time for repeat offenders, but often involve stiff fines and device confiscation. People are shocked when their phones are taken away, and they see it as a severe punishment, sometimes worse than a fine, because so much of their life is on their phone.

Germany's defense relies on American taxpayers, and we still have many troops stationed there. But will Americans keep footing the bill if you're jailed in Germany for a tweet? I doubt it. To our European friends: friendship means sharing values. But jailing people for wanting border security, rejecting election results, or silencing those you fear? That's not shared values.

Speaker 0 argues that free speech is not a free fall in Europe, contending that two anti free speech movements have coalesced. One movement is in Europe, which has “laid waste to free speech” in countries such as Germany, France, and England, and also in places like Canada. The other movement is described as the US anti-free-speech movement, which began in higher education and then metastasized throughout the government, but which has “all reached our shores now.” The speaker notes that the Berlin World Forum followed remarks on free speech by Vice President Vance, and that the EU was “red hot.” They describe the forum as “the most anti free speech gathering I’ve ever been part of,” with only two attendees from the free speech community, but those present are “committed.” Hillary Clinton is identified as being there and said to have fueled the anger. A key claim is that when Twitter was purchased by Elon Musk, Clinton called on the EU to use the Digital Services Act, described as “one of the most anti free speech pieces of decades,” to force censorship of American citizens and to compel people like Musk to censor. The speaker characterizes this as “an extraordinary act by someone who was once a presidential candidate in The United States,” and asserts that Clinton’s position reflects a commitment to censorship. The speaker further claims that after the World Forum, this effort was globalized, and that they are “threatening companies like ACTS with ruinous fines unless they resume censoring American citizens.” The overall message emphasizes a belief that anti free speech forces are expanding globally, using regulatory tools such as the Digital Services Act to compel censorship and penalize platforms that do not comply, with the World Forum acting as a catalyst for broader international pressure.

The speaker claims AFD members have been victims of violence, including arson. They believe banning AFD is being considered despite it being the leading party in polls, which would set a dangerous precedent for Western democracies. The constitutional court would make the decision, potentially taking years unless they "overthrow everything." The speaker alleges the head of an agency admitted his duty was to diminish AFD's poll numbers, likening it to the Russiagate hoax. AFD was founded in 2014 advocating for direct democracy and opposed open border policies during the migrant crisis. The speaker states AFD members need police protection at conventions due to violence. They claim censorship is already happening, with politicians favoring censorship and individuals facing prison sentences for jokes about ministers.

Earlier this week, state police in Germany conducted raids, seizing electronics from individuals suspected of posting racist content online. Over 50 similar raids occurred across the country, targeting what prosecutors describe as coordinated online hate speech. It's absurd. They're modeling their laws after Europe's. Imagine armed agents raiding homes and seizing devices over internet posts? What if the content was Jewish, like menorahs? Suddenly, the anti-Nazi stance seems contradictory. The very principles they claim to uphold are being violated. It's nonsensical. Infowars tells you the truth about what's happening next. Go to the AlexJonesstore.com.

It's great to be back in Germany, a place I've always loved. My heart goes out to Munich after yesterday's attack; we're thinking of you and praying for you. We're here to talk about security, but the biggest threat to Europe isn't external, it's internal. It's the retreat from our shared values. We see European courts canceling elections and officials threatening to do the same. We need to live our democratic values, not just talk about them. I worry when I see the EU wanting to shut down social media or countries like Sweden punishing people for offending religious groups, or the UK prosecuting silent prayer. The Trump administration will defend your right to speak your mind. Don't be afraid of your own voters. Listen to them, even when you disagree. That's the magic of democracy.

Jens Wolfakis has been banned from entering Germany and communicating via Zoom or video due to a speech on universal human rights in Israel Palestine. The speech was banned from the Palestine Congress in Berlin, leading to police intervention. Wolfakis questions if this suppression aligns with German democracy, urging people to read or listen to the speech on his blog. He believes this threatens democracy in Germany.

I disagree with the assertion that free speech was used to conduct the Nazi genocide. The genocide was carried out by an authoritarian regime that hated Jews and minorities; there was no free speech in Nazi Germany. The point of the speech in question was that there is an erosion of free speech and intolerance for opposing points of view within Europe. This is eroding the values that bind us together in this transatlantic union. Allies and partners should be able to speak frankly to one another in open forums without being offended. Many foreign ministers may not have agreed with the speech, but they continued to engage with us on issues that unite us. This forum is meant to invite people to give speeches, not to be a chorus where everyone is saying the same thing.

Here is my response: I must comment on the US Vice President's speech, particularly his questioning of European democracy. Our motto, "We fight for your right to be against us," exemplifies the democracy he calls into question. This isn't the Europe I know, where every opinion matters, even those of extremist parties. We allow Russian propaganda media and answer their questions. However, democracy doesn't mean a vocal minority dictates truth. It defends itself against those who would destroy it. I disagree with the Vice President's suggestion that our democracies oppress minorities. We defend our countries for democracy, freedom of opinion, the rule of law, and the dignity of all. Now, shifting to European and transatlantic security, the US is pushing for a swift peace settlement between Russia and Ukraine, expecting Europe to secure any resulting agreement.

It is illegal to display Nazi symbolism, like a swastika, or deny the Holocaust. Insulting someone in public is a crime, and it is also a crime to insult someone online, with fines potentially higher due to the enduring nature of online content. German law prohibits malicious gossip, violent threats, and fake quotes. Reposting false information is also a crime, as it's treated the same as creating it. Punishments for hate speech can include jail time for repeat offenders, but typically involve hefty fines and device confiscation. People are often shocked when their phones are taken away, viewing it as a severe punishment, sometimes worse than the fine itself, because their entire lives are often on their phones.

I am Naomi Zeigt, a German political commentator. I exposed German comedian Al Hodso for wishing death upon Donald Trump, spreading toxic beliefs to his 700,000 followers. He is funded by taxpayer money and promotes anti-humanistic views. He should be banned from his main platform, x. Do you agree with me? Translation: I am Naomi Zeigt, a German political commentator.

It's great to be back in Germany. Our thoughts are with Munich after yesterday's attack. We're here to discuss security, but the biggest threat to Europe is internal: a retreat from shared values with the U.S. We see European courts canceling elections and officials threatening to do the same. We must live our democratic values, unlike those who censored dissidents during the Cold War. I see threats to free speech across Europe, including the UK, where silent prayer near abortion clinics is criminalized. The Trump administration will defend your right to speak freely. If your democracy can be destroyed by a few digital ads, it wasn't strong to begin with. We must engage in dialogue with all political leaders, even those with whom we disagree. Dismissing voters or shutting down media destroys democracy. We must address mass migration, a pressing challenge resulting from conscious political decisions. Don't be afraid to embrace what your people tell you, even when it's surprising.

The German parliament is full of left-green traitors and egomaniacs who will virtue signal us to hell to push their ideology. How many more times must we endure Aschaffenburg, Magdeburg, Mannheim, and Zolling? How many more rapes, stabbings, and murders, even of children, must we expect? This could happen to your family; you could be next.

Yes, it is a crime to insult someone in public, and it's also a crime to insult them online, with potentially higher fines because it stays there. Even reposting untrue statements is a crime, as readers can't tell if you created or simply shared it. Punishments for hate speech can include jail time for repeat offenders, but often involve stiff fines and device confiscation, which shocks people. Recently, we accompanied state police during a raid in Northwest Germany. Six officers searched the suspect's home and seized his laptop and cell phone because prosecutors believed they were used to post a racist cartoon online. Simultaneously, over 50 similar raids occurred across Germany as part of a coordinated effort to curb online hate speech.

In Europe, we lack the First Amendment, limiting our ability to freely criticize the government or certain groups. Tomorrow, my friend Raisa Blomestang stands trial in the Netherlands for allegedly offending a group while criticizing the government's mass migration policies. This reflects a politically motivated judiciary that targets right-wing politicians, as seen with others like Geert Wilders. I can't attend the trial due to health reasons, but I want to raise awareness about the situation in Europe. Raisa's case highlights the risks of expressing dissenting opinions, especially regarding immigration policies. I encourage everyone to support her and remember how fortunate those in America are to have the freedom of speech that we do not enjoy in Europe.

Innovation and creativity cannot be forced, much like thoughts and beliefs. Looking at Europe, it's concerning to see actions like EU commissars threatening to shut down social media for "hateful content," police raids for "anti-feminist" comments, and the conviction of a Christian activist for Quran burnings. Even more alarming is the UK, where a man was charged for silently praying near an abortion clinic, and Scotland warned citizens that private prayer within their homes could be illegal. Free speech is retreating across Europe. Ironically, the loudest voices for censorship sometimes come from my own country. The prior administration bullied social media companies to censor "misinformation," like the lab leak theory of the coronavirus. In Washington, under Donald Trump's leadership, we will defend your right to speak freely, even if we disagree with your views.

It's early Tuesday morning, and we're with state police raiding an apartment in Northwest Germany. Six officers searched the suspect's home and seized his laptop and cell phone. Prosecutors believe these electronics were used to post a racist cartoon online, which constitutes a crime. Simultaneously, over 50 similar raids occurred across Germany. This is part of a coordinated effort by prosecutors to combat online hate speech throughout the country.

I must address the US Vice President's recent speech questioning the state of European democracy. His comparison of Europe to authoritarian regimes is unacceptable. In our democracy, every opinion is heard, even those of extremist parties. We even allow media that spread Russian propaganda. However, democracy doesn't mean a minority dictates truth, nor does it allow unchecked speech. We defend our democracy daily against internal and external threats. I strongly disagree with the Vice President's suggestion that our democracies oppress minorities. We know what we defend: democracy, freedom of opinion, the rule of law, and the dignity of all. Unlike the Vice President, I want to focus on European and transatlantic security. Recent events confirm the US is pushing for a quick peace settlement between Russia and Ukraine, expecting Europe to secure any resulting agreement.

"That's happening in The United States Of America. Masked men jumping out of unmarked cars, people disappearing, no due process, no oversight, zero accountability happening in The United States Of America today." "People ask, well, is authoritarianism you're being hyperbolic? Bullshit. We're being hyperbolic." "If you're a black and brown community, it's here in this country." "I'm deeply proud that I had the privilege of signing the nation's first bill to address the issue of masking." "some guy jumped out of an unmarked car in a van with a mask on tried to grab me, I mean, by definition, you're gonna push back." "these are not just authoritarian tendencies. These are authoritarian actions by an authoritarian government." "That's happening in The United States."

Earlier this week, state police raided an apartment in Northwest Germany, seizing a suspect's laptop and cell phone for allegedly posting a racist cartoon online. This was one of over 50 similar raids across Germany, part of a coordinated effort to curb online hate speech. It's absurd how these anti-nazi principles are being violated. The authorities are going after people for posting Jewish propaganda, like pictures with the Star of David or menorahs, claiming they're illegal symbols. It's like, how is this any different from what the Nazis would do? Also, go to AlexJonesStore.com and get great supplements and gear.

**Speaker 2 (Michael Shellenberger):** Many of us were shocked by Vance's speech, but I think it's long overdue. Americans deeply value freedom of speech, and we question our alliance when European judges try to censor our speech and social media platforms. America is tired of being the world's police officer, and our patience is tested when Europe seems to turn against enlightenment values like free speech. The only solution to misinformation is accurate information through free debate. **Speaker 3 (Natalie Tucci):** I don't believe there has been an erosion of free speech in Europe, and I don't think what we heard from the US Vice President has much to do with free speech. Vance's rhetoric sounds like the Russian playbook, turning arguments about democracy on their head. His meeting with Alice Weidel suggests election interference and support for far-right parties, which could end liberal democracy and European integration.

Across Europe, free speech is in retreat. In Brussels, EU commissars intend to shut down social media during civil unrest if they spot hateful content. In this very country, police have raided citizens suspected of posting anti-feminist comments online. Sweden convicted a Christian activist for participating in Quran burnings, noting free expression doesn't grant a free pass to offend any group. In the UK, the backslide away from conscience rights is concerning. Adam Smith Connor, an army veteran, was charged for silently praying 50 meters from an abortion clinic. He was found guilty and sentenced to pay thousands in legal costs. In Scotland, the government warned citizens that even private prayer within their own homes may break the law, urging them to report suspected thoughtcrimes.

The chief editor of Deutschland Kurier, David Bendelz, received a seven-month prison sentence for a meme posted by his team accusing Interior Minister Nancy Faeser of hating free speech. The speaker argues that the verdict proves Faeser hates free speech and questions if she is "retarded or just a power obsessed bitch." German defamation law, specifically paragraph 188, gives politicians special protection, making it illegal to insult them. The speaker claims the judiciary has criminalized speaking the truth if it damages a politician's reputation, calling it tyranny. The prosecutor in Bendelz's case, Alexander Baum, also initiated a house raid against Stefan Mihov for calling Minister Robert Habeck a "stupid head," traumatizing Mihov's daughter with Down syndrome. The speaker asserts that Faeser ordered the raid. They vow not to limit their free speech and accuse Faeser of being a fascist, while noting it is still legal to insult politicians from the AFD party.
