play03:56

let's call a spade of spade yeah he has

play03:57

a lot of money okay he's also a

play04:00

idiot every single day he goes out there

play04:03

and says something that is just

play04:04

mind-numbingly stupid mosquito

play04:07

IQ level do you see this battle

play04:09

that's been going on now with Brazil so

play04:11

Brazil says to him look we had uh our

play04:15

play04:17

bolsonaro supporters storm the capital

play04:19

and up and have a riot um you

play04:22

got all this misinformation and

play04:23

disinformation that's spreading on

play04:25

social media which led to uh the

play04:28

bolsonaro supporters doing that it's

play04:30

genuinely destabilizing and and

play04:32

threatening our democracy therefore here

play04:35

we have a law they don't have a First

play04:37

Amendment and a constitution like we do

play04:39

they don't have free speech free

play04:40

expression Etc like we do and so they

play04:43

say look you got if you want Twitter SLX

play04:47

to remain up in this country you're

play04:49

going to have to abide by our rules and

play04:50

our laws and that means some of these

play04:52

big misinformation sprting accounts they

play04:54

got to go right Elon Musk pretends to be

play04:57

a martyr and fights it and acts like I

play05:00

will not give I am a defender of free

play05:02

speech I will not give into hold on

play05:05

fella Elon Musk has

play05:08

repeatedly given into censorship

play05:11

attempts from the right-wing Hindu

play05:14

nationalist Modi government of India and

play05:17

the right-wing Theocratic erdogan

play05:20

government of turkey he routinely

play05:23

complies with what right-wing Theocratic

play05:26

or authoritarian governments what they

play05:28

say hey you can't allow this here you

play05:29

can't allow that here he's like oh yes

play05:31

sir absolutely sir no problem sir we'll

play05:33

follow the law and then oh would you

play05:35

look at that the one time he makes a big

play05:37

stink and pretends like he supports Free

play05:39

Speech it's because it's a left-wing

play05:40

government led by

play05:42

Lula wow what a what a surprise what a

play05:45

coincidence so don't tell me you're some

play05:47

principled Crusader for free speech if

play05:49

you were which by the way based you

play05:51

should have been I I'm Pro free speech I

play05:53

wish he was actually consistent on that

play05:55

then he would have told Modi to off

play05:57

he would have told Eran to off he

play05:58

would have told the other right-wing

play05:59

authoritarian governments to off

play06:01

and then you could say it to Lula and

play06:03

and I'd certainly be on your side but

play06:05

you can't say I'll give in to all the

play06:06

right-wingers but I won't give into the

play06:08

left Wier because then look the bottom

play06:10

line is he's just sympathetic to

play06:12

right-wing he's just and the

play06:15

idea that he's anti-democracy I mean

play06:17

he's making that crystal clear here by

play06:18

the way remember this uh he this was a

play06:21

moment on Twitter he very famously

play06:24

responded to somebody what was it was it

play06:26

in relation to Bolivia or Venezuela

play06:28

there was one of these

play06:30

countries where it looked like a a coup

play06:33

was happening or was going to happen and

play06:35

he very famously chimed in and responded

play06:38

to somebody and he was serious when he

play06:40

said this too he

play06:41

said we will coup whoever we

play06:45

want quote we will coup whoever we want

play06:49

so there's another this isn't even this

play06:51

isn't even evidence this is just proof

play06:53

you're supporting coups of foreign

play06:56

governments because you don't agree with

play06:57

them okay so you you're not pro you're

play06:59

just not so all the about

play07:02

Enlightenment values and Western values

play07:04

and this is what we represent and this

play07:05

is what we stand for no out the window

play07:07

we coup whoever we want uh oh

play07:09

interesting observation to have us ruled

play07:11

by a philos philosopher Kings of

play07:14

autistic people and roed up

play07:17

Freaks and then there's also this this

play07:19

happened I believe the same day as the

play07:21

other thing so Tucker Carlson had a guy

play07:23

in his podcast Daryl Cooper and

play07:26

um this guy just

play07:30

said some things that were just

play07:31

Preposterous on on the show he basically

play07:33

said uh Winston Churchill was the chief

play07:37

villain of World War II the chief

play07:41

villain I wonder if anybody else

play07:43

actually deserves that moniker more than

play07:45

Winston Churchill now Winston Churchill

play07:47

was a son of a and he was an

play07:48

imperialist there are a lot of dead

play07:50

bodies because of him in India and

play07:52

elsewhere right but in the conflict of

play07:55

World War II in particular was there

play07:57

somebody who was worse than Winston

play07:59

I don't know let me think about that one

play08:01

a little bit so look at this this is

play08:02

what Tucker says Daryl Cooper may be the

play08:04

best and most honest popular historian

play08:06

in the United States his latest project

play08:07

is the most forbidden of all trying to

play08:10

understand World War II okay so what was

play08:13

said in that podcast Cooper recently

play08:15

joined Carlson on an episode of the

play08:16

Tucker Carlson show during their

play08:18

conversation Cooper claimed that Winston

play08:19

Churchill was the chief villain of World

play08:20

War II because he quote was primarily

play08:22

responsible for that war becoming what

play08:24

it did he also claimed that the

play08:25

Holocaust was some kind of unintended

play08:27

consequence of Germany being quote

play08:29

completely unprepared to deal with the

play08:31

millions and millions of prisoners of

play08:33

War according to Cooper Millions quote

play08:35

ended up dead because there was no food

play08:38

to feed them and German soldiers decided

play08:40

it was quote more Humane to just finish

play08:42

them off you know I'm not quite sure

play08:44

that's exactly how it went down I'm

play08:46

pretty sure there were concentration

play08:48
