I find it insulting that someone like JD Vance would come to Europe and lecture us on our laws. He should run for office here if he wants to change things. It's outrageous, especially at a security conference focused on the real threat to Europe: Russia. To say the threat comes from within, from attacks on free speech, is completely wrong. We're a country that values women's rights and enforces laws to protect them. Vance's claim about eroded liberty, like private prayer being criminalized, is false. Our laws protect women from harassment when accessing abortion services, and buffer zones are in place for that reason. Praying silently within these zones is against the law. He is wrong to come here and say such insulting things, especially given the real security threats we face.

All legislation restricts freedom for the common good. Our constitution balances rights with the common good. Legislators have a responsibility to restrict freedoms if someone's views on others' identities make their lives unsafe and cause deep discomfort.

I have experienced the consequences of abuse and believe women's private spaces should be exclusively for women. Rape victims should not have to undress in front of men. This issue is pervasive in schools and public facilities, and I will fight against it. Critics claim my language fuels transphobia, but I have supported LGBTQ rights while opposing policies that allow men in women's spaces. I've received numerous death threats for my stance, highlighting the extreme reactions from some. Many women, including those from the left, feel marginalized by these policies. It's crucial to protect women's rights without compromising safety. The hypocrisy of those who preach kindness while attacking dissenters is evident. The focus should be on protecting all women's rights, not just those of trans women.

All legislation restricts freedom for the common good. Our constitution balances rights with the common good. If your views on others' identities make their lives unsafe and cause deep discomfort, it is our duty as legislators to restrict those freedoms.

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.

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.

I will not apologize for trying to protect women and girls in sports. This hearing was about protecting women, and I am here to stand up for their rights. We have fought for decades to win these rights, and I will continue to protect them. I am a woman, and I will not stop roaring to protect women, because we have rights too.

My family's history, escaping Nazi Germany, should not be used to justify the killing of others.

I am a woman and I use the women's restroom. No one can stop me. If you have a problem, use a different bathroom. I have the right to use the women's restroom.

I believe it's important to stay true to our values.

If you want to defend things like Sig Hales and Nazi salutes, that's your choice. But I'm against all of that. I'm not with the Nazis.

Poles, Hungarians, and other Europeans understand the struggle of living without the rule of law. It is crucial for us to unite and fight against this growing problem in other countries. Let's join forces and stand together.

All legislation restricts freedom for the common good. Our constitution balances rights with the common good. If your views on others' identities make their lives unsafe and cause deep discomfort, it is our duty as legislators to restrict those freedoms for the common good.

The Prime Minister's comments this morning highlight that advocating for victims of mass rape is not a far-right stance. It's crucial to address the concerns raised by those victims. The act of smearing individuals who bring up these issues contributes to the initial cover-up. People deserve to hear the truth about these matters.

Antisemitism is a threat to everyone's safety. We must acknowledge that Palestinian people are not disposable; they are human beings who deserve freedom and dignity. Speaking up to save lives should not be controversial. The cries of Palestinian and Israeli children are equally important. It is perplexing why the cries of Palestinians seem different to some. We must remember our shared humanity.

Speaker 0: Mandatory vaccination is nonsense. No one in Germany will be forced to get vaccinated against their will. The idea that those who choose not to get vaccinated should lose their basic rights is also absurd and malicious. Let's remember the experiences we've had in Germany and reject such claims. Personally, I am open to technological and medical advancements. If German authorities approve a vaccine, I would be one of the first to get vaccinated. However, I will also advocate for the freedom of those who choose not to, as they should not be forced into it.

Everyone, regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity, race, religion, or disabilities, deserves equal protection of their human rights. It is our responsibility to ensure the protection of these rights for everyone.

I am appalled by the comparison of the Holocaust to other genocides. It is important to recognize the unique and devastating nature of the Holocaust.

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.

Women have a right to privacy and dignity. I believe Representative McGraw deserves fairness, but I will not allow any man to erase women's rights. We have a significant disagreement on this issue, despite having collaborated on other legislation. As the first woman to graduate from The Citadel, I refuse to let a man dictate my rights. It is unacceptable for a man to be in my dressing room or bathroom while I undress.

Most of you are Christians, I'm Muslim in Romania, a Christian country. We must defend our beliefs against disrespect like the Last Supper being mocked. If we don't stand up, our religion will fade. With borders open to non-Christians, we must assert our Christian identity. Men must defend what is important. Let's unite against such actions in the future. Thank you.

The speaker discusses Elon Musk and his statements about Europe, noting that they had many comments previously because Musk was discussing Europe. They state, in repeating a previous position, that Europe and Germany guarantee freedom of speech, and that everyone can say what they want even if they are a billionaire. The speaker emphasizes that they do not accept any stance or behavior that supports extreme right positions, and they make a point to repeat this stance.

Europe is the cradle of Western civilization, and the cultural and religious bonds between it and the U.S. will last beyond political disagreements. However, Europe is at risk of civilizational suicide. Many European countries are unable or unwilling to control their borders, but they are starting to push back, which is good. They are also starting to limit the free speech of their own citizens, even as those citizens protest against border issues. Europe needs to respect its own people and sovereignty, something America can't do for them. If a country like Germany takes in millions of immigrants who are culturally incompatible, Germany will have killed itself. The speaker loves Germany and wants it to thrive.
