Charlie Kirk: We've been saying for quite some time that Germany is becoming more and more like the country of East Germany. "Oh, you can't say that." Why is it that we hold up Europe as a shining beacon of liberty? This clip is going to shock you. This is 60 Minutes. These are German prosecutors who say that you could be fined or be put in prison if you insult somebody online. If you insult them online. Free speech is not a German value. Totalitarianism is a German value. And boy, are they harkening back to the fundamental roots of despotic totalitarianism. Listen to this and also understand this is what Kamala Harris would have wanted for the United States of America. Play cut two.

Charlie Kirk: How much tragedy and horror has been done with that accent. I mean, every time they've been talking the last hundred years, something terrible is happening. "Oh yes, no problem we can the censor you." Let me say this again: Is posting an insult a crime? "Yeah." Is it a crime to repost a lie? "Yeah."

JD Vance responds: "Insulting someone is not a crime and criminalizing speech is going to put real strain on European/U.S. relationships." They're doing this to us. We should just cut off the money. We should cut off the money. We're not gonna subsidize Europe anymore. If this stuff's gonna continue, why would we subsidize our own censorship?

Do you know The Charlie Kirk show is censored in Germany in the Euro Zone? Do you know you can't access The Charlie Kirk show podcast on Apple podcast? It is censored for hate speech.

I've had people try all throughout Europe. You cannot find our program on Apple podcast in Italy, in Germany. So why would we subsidize countries that censor our own citizens?

And Germany is exactly what Kamala Harris would want. This is the direction they wanted the United States of America to come to. Insulting somebody is not a crime. They also do raids over this in Germany, just to be clear. They will raid your home and they call socialist parties center left and the AFD is far right extremist. By the way, I'm gonna be going to Berlin in May with a very special guest that have been invited, where our goal is to push the boundaries on these laws. And if we get arrested, then that's Marco Rubio's thing to deal with. Because if Germany's gonna go galavant around and act as if, "oh, you know, give us more American money." We're gonna cut off all the money. You guys are becoming the totalitarian lunatics that we once fought.
