Point of View September 19, 2024 – Hour 1 : Constitution Day, Pro-Abortion Extremism, Brazil and X

[00:00:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Thank you to our friends at WPEO in PRA Illinois.

[00:00:28] [SPEAKER_02]: We had a chance to do a live broadcast from there, head and event on Tuesday, came back yesterday

[00:00:32] [SPEAKER_02]: and of course here we are on Thursday.

[00:00:35] [SPEAKER_02]: We're going to be talking for the first hour with Nathan Watts, Vice President of Public Affairs

[00:00:39] [SPEAKER_02]: for Alliance Defending Freedom, but the second hour will get into some issues in the news.

[00:00:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Of course, the federal funds rate has been changed by 50 basis points.

[00:00:48] [SPEAKER_02]: What does that mean to you and your family?

[00:00:50] [SPEAKER_02]: We're going to be talking about the fact that Israeli intelligence was able to pull off quite

[00:00:56] [SPEAKER_02]: a coup with those pages and we'll talk about the significance of that as well.

[00:01:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Ben Shapiro's piece another month, another Trump and Sassination attempt in some questions

[00:01:05] [SPEAKER_02]: involved with that and many other topics that we will get into in this second hour.

[00:01:10] [SPEAKER_02]: If we don't get through all of them today, certainly tomorrow will have our Friday weekend

[00:01:15] [SPEAKER_02]: addition.

[00:01:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Dr. Murrow Matthews, Pentectrinal B with us then, but Nathan Watts, good friend of this ministry,

[00:01:21] [SPEAKER_02]: who is with Alliance Defending Freedom, the world's largest non-profit legal organization

[00:01:26] [SPEAKER_02]: dedicated to defending religious freedom, freedom of speech, sanctity of life, marriage, and

[00:01:31] [SPEAKER_02]: parental rights.

[00:01:32] [SPEAKER_02]: And we have posted three of these articles by Nathan Watts and I hope that will be enough for an

[00:01:38] [SPEAKER_02]: entire hour of conversation.

[00:01:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Any one of these could be an entire hour, but we'll do our best to keep the train moving down

[00:01:45] [SPEAKER_02]: the road.

[00:01:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Wait, Nathan, how you doing today?

[00:01:47] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm good.

[00:01:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Thanks for having me.

[00:01:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Good to be back.

[00:01:49] [SPEAKER_02]: First one up is our Constitution isn't dangerous, but our ignorance of it is.

[00:01:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Now, if people might remember that because while back we were talking about an individual

[00:02:00] [SPEAKER_02]: writing for the New York Times, the Constitution is sacred, is it also dangerous?

[00:02:06] [SPEAKER_02]: There was another one.

[00:02:07] [SPEAKER_02]: The first amendment is out of control.

[00:02:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Of course, we have the Supreme Court Justice, Contanji Brown, Jackson, who thought that maybe

[00:02:13] [SPEAKER_02]: the problem with the first amendment, it was hamstringing the government.

[00:02:17] [SPEAKER_02]: So are they just losing track of the history of this country and what the founders intended?

[00:02:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that's a great question, and it's one that I don't think that I'm really qualified

[00:02:28] [SPEAKER_03]: to answer as to what they're thinking.

[00:02:30] [SPEAKER_03]: But the New York Times piece is the Constitution dangerous.

[00:02:36] [SPEAKER_03]: I put in my article, you know, a simple no, it's a fight.

[00:02:41] [SPEAKER_03]: But the fact that a publication like the New York Times would even ask that question

[00:02:45] [SPEAKER_03]: isn't a big enough of a bigger problem.

[00:02:48] [SPEAKER_03]: And that is the sort of national amnesia about the principles contained in the Constitution

[00:02:56] [SPEAKER_03]: and the success of the Constitution.

[00:02:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Right.

[00:02:59] [SPEAKER_03]: If you read that article and I would recommend this for the first time.

[00:03:04] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that's 15 to 20 minutes of your life.

[00:03:06] [SPEAKER_03]: And never going to get back.

[00:03:09] [SPEAKER_03]: But after the author gets through the obligatory first paragraph, Trump is a threat

[00:03:14] [SPEAKER_03]: to democracy, which was just like jarring as the hell random, it seemed to be.

[00:03:22] [SPEAKER_03]: And then what she does in the article is almost the exact opposite of the way

[00:03:31] [SPEAKER_03]: the left typically talks about policy.

[00:03:35] [SPEAKER_03]: They'll talk about a policy and they don't want to talk about the outcome.

[00:03:38] [SPEAKER_03]: They want to talk about the good intent, the policy because the outcome is typically not

[00:03:43] [SPEAKER_03]: good.

[00:03:44] [SPEAKER_03]: And so they want to be judged by their noble intent of the policy.

[00:03:48] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, she does the exact opposite with the Constitution.

[00:03:50] [SPEAKER_03]: She completely ignores the outcome, which has been 200 years of relative stability,

[00:03:58] [SPEAKER_03]: prosperity, protection of individual rights to a level not seen anywhere in the world

[00:04:04] [SPEAKER_03]: and tries to attack the intent of the people who wrote it and impune their motives.

[00:04:11] [SPEAKER_03]: So that's what prompted me to write the piece and a new Constitution day was coming up.

[00:04:16] [SPEAKER_03]: So that was good enough.

[00:04:19] [SPEAKER_03]: It was very, very hard to publish and thanks to the Federalists for putting that out there.

[00:04:23] [SPEAKER_03]: But yeah, it's sort of the bigger problem.

[00:04:26] [SPEAKER_03]: The Constitution is not the problem.

[00:04:30] [SPEAKER_03]: It's a lack I would say, depth of knowledge on behalf of the citizens.

[00:04:37] [SPEAKER_03]: And then which leads to electing people who don't really have a deep knowledge or feel

[00:04:44] [SPEAKER_03]: compelled to adhere to it.

[00:04:45] [SPEAKER_03]: And that's what starts you down in a very dangerous path.

[00:04:50] [SPEAKER_03]: But I do think there is hope.

[00:04:52] [SPEAKER_03]: I do think that most people, if they don't have a deep knowledge of the Constitution,

[00:04:57] [SPEAKER_03]: they have basic understanding that it is the document that we're supposed to abide by.

[00:05:05] [SPEAKER_03]: And I ask towards the end of the piece with the founders just marvel at how far we have

[00:05:12] [SPEAKER_03]: to create their vision.

[00:05:14] [SPEAKER_03]: It's a more important question.

[00:05:15] [SPEAKER_03]: Why don't more Americans ask that question?

[00:05:18] [SPEAKER_03]: So I think the more that we as parents make sure that our children understand it

[00:05:26] [SPEAKER_03]: and if they're not being taught in schools up to us to teach themselves,

[00:05:33] [SPEAKER_03]: that there is then hope for the future.

[00:05:36] [SPEAKER_03]: So that's kind of the piece in an nutshell but happy-bolated Constitution day.

[00:05:41] [SPEAKER_02]: On Monday, I did something on the Constitution and then when I saw you're going to do

[00:05:45] [SPEAKER_02]: it, I said so good because Tuesday was of course Constitution day.

[00:05:49] [SPEAKER_02]: And I made available anybody that wanted it.

[00:05:51] [SPEAKER_02]: I was a little bookless.

[00:05:51] [SPEAKER_02]: I've put together a biblical point of view on the Federalist Favors because as you

[00:05:55] [SPEAKER_02]: point out, the Constitution is not holy, written.

[00:05:58] [SPEAKER_02]: But it is a pretty remarkable document.

[00:06:00] [SPEAKER_02]: And you begin to understand that when you read the Federalist Favors.

[00:06:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, I know maybe you and I will read the Federalist Favors.

[00:06:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Most people won't.

[00:06:07] [SPEAKER_02]: So I take you through just a few Federalist Favors 10 and 51 by James Madison, a couple

[00:06:11] [SPEAKER_02]: of others.

[00:06:12] [SPEAKER_02]: And what you find very quickly is that these were, as you point out here, very

[00:06:16] [SPEAKER_02]: learned men, some of the greatest educated individuals of their generation and there

[00:06:23] [SPEAKER_02]: are one minute quoting from a Greek philosopher another philosopher there.

[00:06:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe of course very converged, converged with everything from Samuel Rethaffer to Locke

[00:06:33] [SPEAKER_02]: and Montesquieu in the rest of the world.

[00:06:35] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it's just unbelievable.

[00:06:37] [SPEAKER_02]: And out of all of that, we have a document that has stood the test of time longer than any

[00:06:41] [SPEAKER_02]: other constitutions at Fair.

[00:06:43] [SPEAKER_03]: That's exactly right.

[00:06:45] [SPEAKER_03]: So now I think the oldest written Constitution in the world.

[00:06:49] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, you compare it to, I mean, places in Latin America where the Constitution was completely

[00:06:53] [SPEAKER_03]: scrapped and started over every couple of years, depending on who takes over the government.

[00:06:59] [SPEAKER_03]: And so it has provided stability.

[00:07:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Obviously, this will be an exception that proves the rule.

[00:07:05] [SPEAKER_03]: But then actions come and out of the Civil War, the 13th Amendment, the 14th Amendment,

[00:07:09] [SPEAKER_03]: 15th Amendment.

[00:07:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Those, you know, that demonstrates, I think, the humility and the wisdom of the people

[00:07:16] [SPEAKER_03]: who wrote the Constitution in that they put within the document, the means by which to

[00:07:22] [SPEAKER_03]: remedy any shortcoming of the document.

[00:07:24] [SPEAKER_03]: They didn't think this thing was just completely perfect when they were finished with it.

[00:07:29] [SPEAKER_03]: And the federalist papers and a lot of other things that were written at the time were

[00:07:31] [SPEAKER_03]: written to convince the people to ratify it.

[00:07:35] [SPEAKER_03]: And so that, you know, if you want to know the intent behind it, read those things

[00:07:38] [SPEAKER_03]: that were being published at the time and you'll, you will find the most quoted document

[00:07:44] [SPEAKER_03]: in the founding era in that Constitutional era to explain the document and to convince

[00:07:51] [SPEAKER_03]: people that it should be ratified was the Bible.

[00:07:53] [SPEAKER_03]: It's right.

[00:07:53] [SPEAKER_03]: It's not even close.

[00:07:55] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes, they're quite a lock and monoscue and other people.

[00:07:58] [SPEAKER_03]: But there's a whole lot of doodronomy.

[00:08:01] [SPEAKER_02]: There certainly isn't.

[00:08:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Love those came from the actual sermons of the pastors and in our little book of

[00:08:06] [SPEAKER_02]: we have on the Patriot pastors, I mentioned that as well.

[00:08:09] [SPEAKER_02]: We're taking a break.

[00:08:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, let me just mention that it isn't just Nathan Watts.

[00:08:13] [SPEAKER_02]: Here's one by Jerry Newcomb.

[00:08:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Here's one by Jonathan Turley.

[00:08:16] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to mention him in just a minute.

[00:08:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Ned Ryan, Laura Hollis.

[00:08:19] [SPEAKER_02]: We've posted quite a few this, a particular article that showed up in the New York Times

[00:08:24] [SPEAKER_02]: has generated a lot of ink including the one that we have posted today, a very good piece

[00:08:29] [SPEAKER_02]: by Nathan Watts.

[00:08:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Our Constitution isn't dangerous, but our ignorance of it is.

[00:08:34] [SPEAKER_02]: And when I come back, if it is a covenant, when I believe it is, well, how can it work

[00:08:40] [SPEAKER_02]: if the parties don't actually adhere to it?

[00:08:43] [SPEAKER_02]: So we'll talk about that with Nathan Watts right after this.

[00:08:58] [SPEAKER_01]: This is viewpoints with Kirby Anderson.

[00:09:02] [SPEAKER_02]: A recent column in the Washington Post observes that Western government until recently generally

[00:09:07] [SPEAKER_02]: did not regard social media and the vision of free speech they promoted as being fundamentally

[00:09:13] [SPEAKER_02]: at odds with democracy.

[00:09:14] [SPEAKER_02]: The author concludes that now these governments do, which is why Elon Musk and Pavel Duroff

[00:09:19] [SPEAKER_02]: are facing the revenge of the regulators.

[00:09:22] [SPEAKER_02]: He also warns that these men will have to think more carefully about who soil their on when

[00:09:28] [SPEAKER_02]: they step off the plane.

[00:09:29] [SPEAKER_02]: That day, he exposes what has happened in now that liberalism removes its mask.

[00:09:34] [SPEAKER_02]: He laments that former labor secretary Robert Reich published a guide in the Guardian on

[00:09:39] [SPEAKER_02]: how to reign in Elon Musk and even suggest that regulators around the world threatened

[00:09:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Musk with an arrest.

[00:09:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Matt TV also points to two articles in the New York Times.

[00:09:48] [SPEAKER_02]: The first wondered if the first amendment is out of control, the more recent article

[00:09:53] [SPEAKER_02]: acknowledged in the NAS, the Constitution is sacred, but is it also dangerous?

[00:09:58] [SPEAKER_02]: We also might mention the comments by Supreme Court Justice Kaji Brown Jackson.

[00:10:02] [SPEAKER_02]: She complained that the first amendment was hamstringing the government, of course that's

[00:10:06] [SPEAKER_02]: the purpose of that amendment in the rest of the Bill of Rights.

[00:10:09] [SPEAKER_02]: I believe what is happening is exposing leftism within liberalism.

[00:10:13] [SPEAKER_02]: In previous commentaries I've made a distinction between liberalism and the left, liberals

[00:10:17] [SPEAKER_02]: and conservatives believe in free speech, leftists do not.

[00:10:21] [SPEAKER_02]: I discovered this many decades ago when speaking on college campuses, liberal professors

[00:10:25] [SPEAKER_02]: were willing to engage in debate and discussion, radical leftists work to shut down debate

[00:10:30] [SPEAKER_02]: and wanted to stop any discussion.

[00:10:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Liberal pundits and politicians love to talk about free speech on social media platforms

[00:10:37] [SPEAKER_02]: until they saw comments they didn't like.

[00:10:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Now the mask is off.

[00:10:41] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm Kirby Anderson, and that's my point of view.

[00:10:47] [SPEAKER_01]: For a free booklet on a biblical view of Patriot preachers go to viewpoints.info-patriot preachers.

[00:10:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Viewpoints.info-patriot preachers.

[00:10:58] [SPEAKER_00]: You're listening to point of view.

[00:11:01] [SPEAKER_00]: You're listening to a supported source for truth.

[00:11:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Back once again in studio with us for the entire hour, Nathan Watts you can learn so much

[00:11:08] [SPEAKER_02]: from him.

[00:11:09] [SPEAKER_02]: I appreciate the fact that he has a history background and of course a law degree.

[00:11:13] [SPEAKER_02]: And I failed to mention since so on to the articles we're going to quote from his

[00:11:16] [SPEAKER_02]: national review for three years you were the Dallas coordinator for the National Review

[00:11:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Institutes Burke to Buckley Fellowship.

[00:11:24] [SPEAKER_02]: And so that's something else I think I should mention because you bring just so many different

[00:11:29] [SPEAKER_02]: things to the table.

[00:11:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Not to mention some day we're going to have to get you and you're just to talk about music.

[00:11:33] [SPEAKER_02]: I always enjoy the conversations I see you having with all our other staff about music.

[00:11:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Let's get back to this.

[00:11:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, we acknowledge the Constitution is not holy, but you quote from Joseah.

[00:11:44] [SPEAKER_02]: My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge.

[00:11:47] [SPEAKER_02]: And although that applies to the Bible, I think it's a general principle.

[00:11:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Don't you think that applies to something like the Constitution?

[00:11:55] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes, because in the pieces it's just as there is relates fortunes waxed and waned

[00:12:03] [SPEAKER_03]: between knowledge of the law and obedience to the law and ignorance of the law and

[00:12:09] [SPEAKER_03]: apostasy.

[00:12:10] [SPEAKER_03]: You can make the analogy of knowledge and respect for the Constitution and how the fortunes

[00:12:19] [SPEAKER_03]: of Americans and the protections of their liberty could wax and wan in the same way.

[00:12:26] [SPEAKER_03]: And so yes, I mean as the piece of the Constitution is obviously not scripture, but if

[00:12:33] [SPEAKER_03]: it is the covenant between the governing and the governed just the way the Israelites

[00:12:37] [SPEAKER_03]: had their covenant relationship with God, how can either either party in a covenant

[00:12:43] [SPEAKER_03]: expected to be upheld and enforced justly if one or both parties don't have a sufficient

[00:12:49] [SPEAKER_03]: knowledge of it or respect for it.

[00:12:55] [SPEAKER_03]: So that's maybe the glass half empty view, the glass half full is that even as things

[00:13:04] [SPEAKER_03]: have waxed and waned there is always the opportunity to return back to those original

[00:13:08] [SPEAKER_03]: principles and I think we see that certainly in some aspects of American culture today.

[00:13:15] [SPEAKER_02]: One of the other things we see is of course you do make some quotes about this whole idea

[00:13:19] [SPEAKER_02]: of the first amendment.

[00:13:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Now just a minute ago, I did mention the fact that we have a Supreme Court justice

[00:13:23] [SPEAKER_02]: that seemed to lament in the oral arguments that the first amendment was hamstringing

[00:13:28] [SPEAKER_02]: the government and my argument in my commentary today and I said it on the air when she

[00:13:33] [SPEAKER_02]: did actually said that was that's not defect, that is a purpose that was actually built

[00:13:40] [SPEAKER_02]: into the system of the Constitution and the first amendment were to try to prevent

[00:13:45] [SPEAKER_02]: that.

[00:13:46] [SPEAKER_02]: In a minute we're going to talk about how Brazil has banned X and Elon Musk in the rest

[00:13:51] [SPEAKER_02]: and I talk about that in my commentary as well but right now I think it is fair to say

[00:13:56] [SPEAKER_02]: that J.D. Vance and on a good day maybe Donald Trump believe in free speech and come

[00:14:03] [SPEAKER_02]: will Harrison Tim Waltz and it's very obvious that Tim Waltz does not believe in free

[00:14:07] [SPEAKER_02]: speech and actually believes that the first amendment should not be hamstringing government

[00:14:13] [SPEAKER_02]: we should be able to close down and shut down anything we might disagree with.

[00:14:17] [SPEAKER_03]: Unfortunately yes you hear it, people like him and other opponents say that the first

[00:14:23] [SPEAKER_03]: amendment is an applicable to quote unquote hate speech or things that people might find offensive

[00:14:30] [SPEAKER_03]: and if that's the case the first question that comes to mind is who decides who decides

[00:14:37] [SPEAKER_03]: what is hateful, who decides what is offensive because if you accept that premise then

[00:14:43] [SPEAKER_03]: the very logical nice conclusion is that the government should shut down the quote

[00:14:47] [SPEAKER_03]: offending party or speech and human nature being what it is if government is empowered

[00:14:55] [SPEAKER_03]: to do that any speech that questions their power is going to be the first speech that

[00:15:00] [SPEAKER_03]: shut down and that's what you see going on in Brazil.

[00:15:04] [SPEAKER_02]: And just to say on this because I do want to get to Brazil in a minute it does seem to me

[00:15:08] [SPEAKER_02]: that there's been an evolution because it used to be that we can't have hate speech and

[00:15:13] [SPEAKER_02]: you and I've seen so many times they said the Constitution does not perfect each

[00:15:17] [SPEAKER_02]: time.

[00:15:18] [SPEAKER_02]: But that was not malleable enough to argue that well I disagree with same sex marriage

[00:15:25] [SPEAKER_02]: well maybe you can say that's hate speech but by the time we got to the pandemic where

[00:15:29] [SPEAKER_02]: we said our shooter should not wear a mask well that's not hate speech and that's

[00:15:34] [SPEAKER_02]: why we started hearing about misinformation and disinformation right?

[00:15:38] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah exactly right and we've now seen you know some three and a half years late in my

[00:15:44] [SPEAKER_03]: New York Times and in the Mark Zuckerbergs and the letter saying yes as a matter

[00:15:48] [SPEAKER_03]: fact we did suppress accounts and ban speech under pressure from the federal

[00:15:54] [SPEAKER_03]: government speech that I was talking about related to COVID related to things like

[00:16:00] [SPEAKER_03]: overmeeked in hydroxocholarchland efficacy of masks or whatever it may be and

[00:16:06] [SPEAKER_03]: other topics and that's a very very dangerous territory start moving into it's

[00:16:19] [SPEAKER_03]: one thing for for the government to I mean to bring this back to the Constitution

[00:16:23] [SPEAKER_03]: one of the things that the founders were extremely suspicious of and trying to

[00:16:28] [SPEAKER_03]: prevent was the concentration of power right that's why you have three branches

[00:16:32] [SPEAKER_03]: right they they were they were keen we aware of the fallen nature of man and

[00:16:38] [SPEAKER_03]: sort of use that fallen nature against itself right we're going to divide power

[00:16:42] [SPEAKER_03]: amongst three different branches knowing that when people are in power they

[00:16:45] [SPEAKER_03]: tend to want to protect that power and therefore these three branches should

[00:16:48] [SPEAKER_03]: probably fight to keep their own power and exist as a check on the power of

[00:16:53] [SPEAKER_03]: the other two so concentrated power was a big driving force behind

[00:17:02] [SPEAKER_03]: the way the Constitution is structured in the bill of rights and everything else

[00:17:05] [SPEAKER_03]: well concentration of power in the private sector can be just as dangerous

[00:17:09] [SPEAKER_03]: and when government concentrated power in the government and concentrated power

[00:17:13] [SPEAKER_03]: in the private sector are colluding with each other which is what they were doing

[00:17:16] [SPEAKER_03]: which is yeah that is and that is maybe the biggest threat to liberty so I

[00:17:23] [SPEAKER_03]: appreciate Zuckerberg coming clean as I said I think it's about three and a half years

[00:17:27] [SPEAKER_03]: late but we'll take it if that if he you know lives up to his commitment to

[00:17:34] [SPEAKER_03]: this they were not going to do this anymore and I'm going to do this again you know

[00:17:38] [SPEAKER_03]: we'll see but that's moving in the right direction this again just recognize

[00:17:43] [SPEAKER_02]: that this article which I would recommend for you to read and maybe even

[00:17:47] [SPEAKER_02]: discuss around the table tonight with your children of grandchildren or

[00:17:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Constitution isn't dangerous but our ignorance of it is and it certainly is a

[00:17:56] [SPEAKER_02]: very good piece by lathe and what's and I might just mention my commentary today

[00:18:00] [SPEAKER_02]: is on censorship and I'll give you a preview next week of course we're going to

[00:18:05] [SPEAKER_02]: have a truth team and I might get some comments from lathe and a little bit

[00:18:08] [SPEAKER_02]: later in the broadcast about that but next week we'll be talking about one of

[00:18:12] [SPEAKER_02]: the advantages of supporting point of view as you receive the booklets

[00:18:15] [SPEAKER_02]: and I've written the booklet on censorship some of things we're talking about

[00:18:18] [SPEAKER_02]: today and some of the issues which is raised about Mark Zuckerberg all the threats

[00:18:23] [SPEAKER_02]: right now against Elon Musk a poor man and everything else is part of that

[00:18:27] [SPEAKER_02]: booklet and we send that out to individuals that join us on the truth team

[00:18:30] [SPEAKER_02]: dollar day thirty dollars a month so I might mention that and of course if you

[00:18:34] [SPEAKER_02]: don't get the viewpoints commentary and click on the banner that says that as

[00:18:37] [SPEAKER_02]: well but let's set this up because Elon Musk of course bought Twitter now it's

[00:18:42] [SPEAKER_02]: called X and as soon as that happened all of a sudden you're starting to see

[00:18:47] [SPEAKER_02]: columns in the Washington Post since we've already beat up on the New York

[00:18:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Times for a little bit which says why Western government until recently

[00:18:56] [SPEAKER_02]: generally did not regard social media and the vision of free speech they

[00:19:01] [SPEAKER_02]: promoted as being fundamentally at odds with democracy as soon as one of the

[00:19:06] [SPEAKER_02]: social media agencies or platforms was not necessarily following the party line

[00:19:14] [SPEAKER_02]: you now have Robert Reich who is the labor secretary writing in the Guardian

[00:19:20] [SPEAKER_02]: that it's time to rain in Elon Musk and even suggested that the Elon Musk or

[00:19:25] [SPEAKER_02]: the Pavall deraubs and others will he when they step off on his soil might be

[00:19:32] [SPEAKER_02]: aware of the soil they're stepping off on and maybe it's time for regulators

[00:19:36] [SPEAKER_02]: around the world to threaten Elon Musk with a rest but doesn't sound like

[00:19:41] [SPEAKER_03]: free speech to me no it doesn't and you know it kind of made me chuckle a little

[00:19:50] [SPEAKER_03]: bit of the way he's a lot of things but a poor man and not one

[00:19:53] [SPEAKER_03]: of the

[00:19:54] [SPEAKER_03]: the richest man but but if he's about one psychologically attacked

[00:20:00] [SPEAKER_03]: right yes this are yeah he's about you know one hairless cat away from being

[00:20:05] [SPEAKER_03]: a bond bill in the 90s but unfortunately he's not the villain here he's

[00:20:11] [SPEAKER_03]: actually the guy who is standing up for freedom and freedom of speech

[00:20:15] [SPEAKER_03]: and and that's what is going on with this this issue in in Brazil and even

[00:20:21] [SPEAKER_03]: in the states people talking about it or at least alluding to you know something

[00:20:26] [SPEAKER_03]: needs to be done about Twitter or X which every preferred a call it still

[00:20:32] [SPEAKER_03]: social media is sort of the modern day public square and and therefore access

[00:20:38] [SPEAKER_03]: to it is very important when it comes to freedom of expression which is

[00:20:44] [SPEAKER_03]: been shut down in Brazil and being threatened at least here when you take a

[00:20:47] [SPEAKER_02]: break and we come back we'll talk about that it's our second article if you

[00:20:50] [SPEAKER_02]: want to read ahead on Brazil but again because alliance defending freedom has

[00:20:55] [SPEAKER_02]: various offices around the world I want him to also talk about what's going on

[00:21:00] [SPEAKER_02]: in Europe and what's happening in the UK and a number of other issues because this

[00:21:04] [SPEAKER_02]: issue of free speech really important and again unless you think this is only

[00:21:08] [SPEAKER_02]: a conservative issue hold up a book we're gonna talk about in the future by

[00:21:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Jonathan Turley is a professor George Washington University on a lot of

[00:21:16] [SPEAKER_02]: issues probably would disagree with like the name but certainly believes we need

[00:21:20] [SPEAKER_02]: to stand up for free speech so we'll be talking about that right after the

[00:21:24] [SPEAKER_02]: break and we'll be back right after these messages many years ago they began

[00:21:33] [SPEAKER_01]: saying that we live in the information age well today there is so much

[00:21:38] [SPEAKER_01]: information coming at us from every direction the hardest thing is to discern

[00:21:43] [SPEAKER_01]: which issues are really important and how can I make a positive impact

[00:21:48] [SPEAKER_01]: without wasting my time trying to figure out accurate information let me give you

[00:21:54] [SPEAKER_01]: a suggestion to help with that visit point of view dot net look at the tabs

[00:21:59] [SPEAKER_01]: across the top find the one named view points Kirby Anderson and others on our

[00:22:49] [SPEAKER_01]: point of view will continue after this you are listening to point of view

[00:23:03] [SPEAKER_01]: the opinions expressed on point of view do not necessarily reflect the views

[00:23:08] [SPEAKER_01]: of the management or staff of the station and now here again is Kirby Anderson

[00:23:14] [SPEAKER_02]: it's due to with us lathe and walks again vice president of public affairs for

[00:23:17] [SPEAKER_02]: alliance defending freedom and just be very good back into some of the conversation

[00:23:22] [SPEAKER_02]: you're listening you've known us for a long time you've been of course with first

[00:23:25] [SPEAKER_02]: liberty institute you know the vice president of public affairs for alliance defending

[00:23:29] [SPEAKER_02]: freedom and of course marlin medics was one of the individuals along with others

[00:23:34] [SPEAKER_02]: that helped establish what ADF was in the first place and I know next week we're going

[00:23:39] [SPEAKER_02]: to be having our truth team encouraging people to support this ministry and you've

[00:23:43] [SPEAKER_02]: had a chance to look us over what would you say to people that might be interested in

[00:23:48] [SPEAKER_03]: supporting this ministry that they absolutely should ministers like ours depend on

[00:23:53] [SPEAKER_03]: ministers like this one we can we can win cases and we do at all levels of course

[00:24:00] [SPEAKER_03]: including the Supreme Court every day of the week and twice on Sunday but if people

[00:24:06] [SPEAKER_03]: don't understand those rights and don't put them into practice then our wins will not mean

[00:24:12] [SPEAKER_03]: much years from now and this is a way to to have a conversation about them where people can

[00:24:20] [SPEAKER_03]: learn more about them and as I said many times you don't have to be a lawyer or a

[00:24:24] [SPEAKER_03]: constitutional scholar but you do need to know enough to know when your rights were

[00:24:27] [SPEAKER_03]: violated and when they come find us for help and point of view is invaluable

[00:24:33] [SPEAKER_02]: and helping get that message out well again I appreciate your work and of always enjoyed

[00:24:38] [SPEAKER_02]: working with you on the issue of history because your history student and a very

[00:24:43] [SPEAKER_02]: educated individual in that regard my recent booklet that just went out was on the cycles

[00:24:48] [SPEAKER_02]: and history I should send that one to you but then the one is coming out in the future I've written

[00:24:52] [SPEAKER_02]: it but it hasn't even been printed yet is on censorship and it brings us back to one of the

[00:24:57] [SPEAKER_02]: illustrations I use and that is you might expect that there would be censorship and North Korea

[00:25:02] [SPEAKER_02]: censorship even in China but I was really unreal really just not even I was actually caught

[00:25:11] [SPEAKER_02]: off guard to be perfectly honest with the fact that the Brazilian Supreme Court called for

[00:25:18] [SPEAKER_02]: the immediate and complete and total suspension of X which is formally Twitter when you're actually

[00:25:25] [SPEAKER_02]: talking about something that would be the kind of conversation that you would want to have

[00:25:32] [SPEAKER_03]: a free society tell us about yes we are international practice has sent a letter to the

[00:25:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Inter-American Commission on Human Rights about this very issue that as I said before

[00:25:49] [SPEAKER_03]: social media is today's public square and access to it is vital to have ongoing civil discourse

[00:25:57] [SPEAKER_03]: in this country and every country where it exists and it's certainly important there in Brazil

[00:26:02] [SPEAKER_03]: and there's the Supreme Court of all bodies you know there's the Supreme Court is what did that's

[00:26:10] [SPEAKER_02]: that's surprising so I was not prepared for that I thought well okay they're going to slap down

[00:26:16] [SPEAKER_02]: the president and that didn't happen and it just went along with it completely and that is what you see

[00:26:21] [SPEAKER_03]: sometimes it's been in a republic right and it's exactly right and so we have now kind of started

[00:26:28] [SPEAKER_03]: the process as I said with that Inter-American Court of Human Rights we also have an open letter

[00:26:33] [SPEAKER_03]: that was initially signed by about over 100 thought leaders scholars elected officials

[00:26:42] [SPEAKER_03]: you name it if you go to adflegal.org you can find that open letter there people can sign their

[00:26:48] [SPEAKER_03]: name to it if they want to again it is about drawing attention to the issue and hopefully trying to

[00:26:57] [SPEAKER_03]: exert for like a better term like peer pressure on on Brazil to do the right thing

[00:27:04] [SPEAKER_03]: and the other piece that you alluded to I make the case that for America our moral authority

[00:27:12] [SPEAKER_03]: to tell Brazil this is wrong and you need to fix this rest on America's commitment to free

[00:27:18] [SPEAKER_03]: your own this country as well and you need to look to our own house and there there's some

[00:27:23] [SPEAKER_03]: cleanup to be done in our own house that we need to attend to but this is why it if you

[00:27:30] [SPEAKER_03]: operate around the world we have unique protections of these liberties in America but we do not

[00:27:35] [SPEAKER_03]: believe these liberties are unique to Americans there are ours as image bears of God and so we

[00:27:41] [SPEAKER_03]: stand up for these principles all over the world including in Latin America and Brazil again

[00:27:46] [SPEAKER_02]: this article is in the daily wire but we have that available on the website sometimes people

[00:27:50] [SPEAKER_02]: if they don't have the paywall to get through very make it very easy for you to read the federalist

[00:27:56] [SPEAKER_02]: daily wire some of these others national review in just a minute that we get to but just to help

[00:28:01] [SPEAKER_02]: people understand I mentioned when I went to the break a book that I'm going to spend more time

[00:28:05] [SPEAKER_02]: maybe doing a teaching on I'd be great if we get Jonathan Turley on but even if we don't

[00:28:10] [SPEAKER_02]: whether it's Jonathan Turley who would be identified as a liberal whether it's Nadine Strossard

[00:28:15] [SPEAKER_02]: who we had on recently who was the former head of the ACLU whether it's Alan Dershowitz a

[00:28:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Harvard law professor or people that fell out of people know about like Joe Rogan or Jonathan

[00:28:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Turley and of course I just mentioned him but Jordan Peterson I mean there are a number of

[00:28:35] [SPEAKER_02]: individuals who identify themselves maybe Bill Mar as liberals but they believe in free speech

[00:28:43] [SPEAKER_02]: the way conservatives do and it brings me to something we've had of course Dennis Prager say on

[00:28:49] [SPEAKER_02]: this program I've said it as well liberals and conservatives believe in free speech left us do

[00:28:55] [SPEAKER_02]: not and even in my commentary I said I began to notice that when I was speaking on college campuses

[00:29:00] [SPEAKER_02]: because sometimes I'd have liberal professors invite me into a classroom and say look you've had

[00:29:05] [SPEAKER_02]: a chance to hear from me we're going to give you a chance one hour to hear from Mr Anderson but

[00:29:10] [SPEAKER_02]: it was the radical leftist that wanted to shut down speech and so it seems to me that this is

[00:29:16] [SPEAKER_02]: not a right versus left this is free versus oppression free versus tyranny isn't it? It is and

[00:29:24] [SPEAKER_03]: it shouldn't be a partisan issue as you pointed out there are people on both sides of the

[00:29:28] [SPEAKER_03]: political aisle who made disagree on on other issues but they hold heartedly agree on this one because

[00:29:34] [SPEAKER_03]: this one is the one without it you can't have the conversation about policy you can't have

[00:29:41] [SPEAKER_03]: the conversation about what is good for the culture what is good for the nation unless both

[00:29:46] [SPEAKER_03]: sides are able to be heard you don't have to to agree but the answer to speech you disagree with

[00:29:51] [SPEAKER_03]: is more speech it is it's to robot it is to make your argument make the case to the American people

[00:29:58] [SPEAKER_03]: and civil discourses that is the oxygen to the body politic if you live in any form of

[00:30:06] [SPEAKER_03]: a republic or a democratic republic as we have here it is the as you said it is not necessarily

[00:30:12] [SPEAKER_03]: left versus right it is those who value freedom versus status people who think that these rights

[00:30:19] [SPEAKER_03]: are somehow granted by the state and the state can decide when on the that's a little too dangerous

[00:30:24] [SPEAKER_03]: for can't let you say that no that is not how we do things here you know the first amendment

[00:30:31] [SPEAKER_03]: as we mentioned in the first segment is intended to hamstring the government yes just as Jackson

[00:30:37] [SPEAKER_03]: that's the point so yeah it's not a partisan issue and nor nor should it be it is necessary

[00:30:47] [SPEAKER_03]: you know for both sides to be able to be heard and for the people to make their own decisions

[00:30:51] [SPEAKER_03]: as to which which argument holds you know the most water for them that's how we can just

[00:30:56] [SPEAKER_02]: real quickly have you talk about what's going on overseas especially in UK and even in the

[00:31:02] [SPEAKER_02]: EU because right now the EU has this way to control speech as well and first of all I've always

[00:31:10] [SPEAKER_02]: wondered about motivation but we'll forget that but I think part of the motivation is if your argument

[00:31:14] [SPEAKER_02]: doesn't stand any kind of good scrutiny men can have babies or whatever the illustration might

[00:31:21] [SPEAKER_02]: be then you wanted to shut down any kind of conversation because you don't have the ability to argue

[00:31:27] [SPEAKER_02]: for your case and since you can't argue against that you'll just limit free speech but it does

[00:31:34] [SPEAKER_02]: seem to me that since the UK and certainly those countries in Europe do not really have a first

[00:31:41] [SPEAKER_03]: amendment that trend is going on the wrong direction isn't it? Unfortunately yes and the UK specifically

[00:31:48] [SPEAKER_03]: I believe this today is day three of a criminal trial going on for one of our clients that are

[00:31:55] [SPEAKER_03]: that a few k is supporting the defense a veteran of their military who was arrested for standing

[00:32:03] [SPEAKER_03]: with his back to an abortion facility and silently praying praying remember that praying in his head

[00:32:09] [SPEAKER_03]: and he is on trial for it it is literally a thought crime that he's been prosecuted for

[00:32:16] [SPEAKER_03]: prayer is the offense not even spoken all the man did was stand there so

[00:32:25] [SPEAKER_03]: this is it's sad to see me this is our mother country this is where a lot of these principles that

[00:32:30] [SPEAKER_03]: we are found in our constitution to work John Locke in the English common law I mean this is the

[00:32:36] [SPEAKER_03]: this is the country of George Orwell you know and I've said it on here many times just like people read

[00:32:40] [SPEAKER_03]: that as an instruction manual instead of a cautionary tale as it was intended you know how to

[00:32:45] [SPEAKER_03]: subtly brave new world you know it is astonishing to see what's going on in the UK and again

[00:32:52] [SPEAKER_02]: EU is another one I've talked about but we're gonna take a break and we'll come back just one

[00:32:57] [SPEAKER_02]: to dip into one of the issue and that is what is called abortion extremism because that is a piece

[00:33:03] [SPEAKER_02]: that also you have written about we're in a new era of pro abortion extremism at home in a

[00:33:09] [SPEAKER_02]: broad course that relates again to some of the things that are there at alliance defending freedom

[00:33:14] [SPEAKER_02]: if you find yourself saying I would like to contact them because I've got an issue that I need

[00:33:20] [SPEAKER_02]: to address or like to learn more we have a link to adflegal.org and matter fact the feature there

[00:33:29] [SPEAKER_02]: is help stop global censorship now so there is the one that you will run into as you go there

[00:33:35] [SPEAKER_02]: all sorts of great material there at adflegal.org we'll take a break come back and talk about abortion

[00:33:40] [SPEAKER_00]: briefly with lathe and what right after this are listening to point of view your listener supported

[00:34:00] [SPEAKER_02]: source or truth back for three more minutes with lathe and what's in this particular article

[00:34:05] [SPEAKER_02]: is posted on national review and one of the things I always like to tell you is since you

[00:34:10] [SPEAKER_02]: may or may not have a subscription to national review we post the entire article I know you said before

[00:34:16] [SPEAKER_02]: off air that you've got a family member it doesn't get a subscription to it so you always have

[00:34:20] [SPEAKER_02]: sent it to individuals but again I hope that you might consider getting a subscription I do and

[00:34:26] [SPEAKER_02]: so we've made it very easy for you to read that but this issue of abortion of course hasn't

[00:34:31] [SPEAKER_02]: been very well described even in the debate I think it would have been appropriate to bring up

[00:34:36] [SPEAKER_02]: the fact that is attorney general comal haira is actually went after an individual we've

[00:34:40] [SPEAKER_02]: interviewed on this program we've posed planned parenthoods business asselling a boarded baby

[00:34:46] [SPEAKER_02]: parts and the gest abortion is legal right up to the end of the birth even in Minnesota to

[00:34:53] [SPEAKER_02]: molce is the governor there I mean they're just so many things but this article lathe is a reminder

[00:34:58] [SPEAKER_02]: that if you think we have a problem with the issue of abortion extremism in this country all you

[00:35:05] [SPEAKER_02]: have to do is look to great Britain once again so again that's one of the benefits of you being

[00:35:10] [SPEAKER_03]: an international organization yes just a the case that I mentioned right before our break and

[00:35:18] [SPEAKER_03]: that's not the first case with that fact pattern yes this is the most recent one that's

[00:35:23] [SPEAKER_03]: going to trial but we had other you've had others there in the UK arrested for the exact same thing

[00:35:31] [SPEAKER_03]: silently praying outside an abortion clinic if I remember correctly the first the first one

[00:35:39] [SPEAKER_03]: and the where this comes from is they a lot of the cities have ordinances that they call it

[00:35:44] [SPEAKER_03]: buffers own right outside of these facilities so the people harassed the people going in there

[00:35:49] [SPEAKER_03]: well the lady that we first helped she was bringing silently as he was on a day that the clinic wasn't

[00:35:56] [SPEAKER_03]: even open that's what so major so there's that's is a lot of chance anyone being harassed

[00:36:01] [SPEAKER_03]: yes you know even if the site of somebody standing on the sidewalk and you can somehow figure out

[00:36:05] [SPEAKER_02]: their brain yeah you would consider harassment is so beyond the pale I couldn't even believe

[00:36:10] [SPEAKER_02]: that you were telling me the truth but unfortunately years all the documentation for it

[00:36:15] [SPEAKER_03]: yes it's amazing and unfortunately things that we see in Europe don't stay in Europe

[00:36:21] [SPEAKER_03]: and that's sort of the point about this piece is that the position of what I would say

[00:36:26] [SPEAKER_03]: the left on the issue of abortion is no longer pro choice it is pro abortion you have like

[00:36:34] [SPEAKER_03]: the attorney general let's use the change in New York who is going after pro life pregnancy

[00:36:40] [SPEAKER_03]: centers trying to censor any speech about progesterone abortion pill reversal so if a woman has taken

[00:36:47] [SPEAKER_03]: the first it's a two drug regimen with abortion pills and if she's taken the first and changes her mind

[00:36:54] [SPEAKER_03]: if she sees a doctor soon enough and can take large doses of progesterone which is what the first

[00:37:01] [SPEAKER_03]: bill stops that pregnancy can survive that baby can survive and the attorney general in New York

[00:37:08] [SPEAKER_03]: wants to keep pro life pregnancy centers from even being able to talk about it we have similar

[00:37:14] [SPEAKER_03]: situation I don't think this case has been filed yet but we will likely be filing very similar

[00:37:20] [SPEAKER_03]: case in California where the attorney general there is doing pretty much the same thing

[00:37:25] [SPEAKER_03]: as the attorney general in New York is you have in the state of Colorado they passed a law

[00:37:29] [SPEAKER_03]: the legislature passed a law to outlaw basically APR abortion pill reversal we sued the state

[00:37:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Colorado and behalf of a client there who has helped women with APR and fortunately got an

[00:37:44] [SPEAKER_03]: injunction to keep the law from going into place while the litigation proceeds and that has literally

[00:37:50] [SPEAKER_03]: saved lives I don't know if it's on our website or if it's in our social media but we had

[00:37:55] [SPEAKER_03]: pictures sent to us of a mother holding her child well who took the first abortion pill

[00:38:03] [SPEAKER_03]: got the progesterone the baby survived mom and baby are both healthy and doing well and

[00:38:10] [SPEAKER_03]: it's like you know the attorney general in New York the attorney general Colorado California

[00:38:15] [SPEAKER_03]: the legislature in Colorado are basically telling women were pro choice as long as you choose

[00:38:20] [SPEAKER_03]: abortion the only acceptable choice in those places is the one that results in the death of a child

[00:38:26] [SPEAKER_03]: well that's not being pro choice that's being pro abortion and that is a dangerous

[00:38:33] [SPEAKER_03]: new age in that debate and we saw at the DNC they had a mobile

[00:38:40] [SPEAKER_03]: abortion pill dispensary and for sex to be found at the DNC

[00:38:46] [SPEAKER_03]: this is what you know the convention where there are announcing their presidential candidate

[00:38:51] [SPEAKER_03]: they have this thing set up their onsite you have this is not Bill Clinton's Democrat party

[00:38:56] [SPEAKER_03]: safe legal and rare it is not anymore and and I think it is it's important to acknowledge that

[00:39:05] [SPEAKER_03]: that there are people in this country who are looking for a reasonable solution on this issue

[00:39:12] [SPEAKER_03]: and one side of the argument has gone to an extreme end on their side of that argument when people

[00:39:19] [SPEAKER_03]: are trying to find a reasonable way to deal with this in a post dobs world where legislators are

[00:39:25] [SPEAKER_03]: now empowered to deal with it and make policy again and again you mentioned Colorado mentioned

[00:39:29] [SPEAKER_02]: New York let's just mention Michigan because we have listeners there in Michigan as well a group

[00:39:33] [SPEAKER_02]: of pro life advocates convicted of conspiracy based on the face act and things of that nature

[00:39:39] [SPEAKER_02]: this article goes into that so don't just think that this pro abortion extremism is only in
