Here is Attorney General Pamela Bondi’s “hate speech” statement in full context. The broader context does not attenuate what is fundamentally wrong about what she is proposing. She confounds university *policy* with criminal prosecution of “hate speech”. She confounds “hate” *crime* with “hate *speech*”. And she actually contradicts herself...

The full context of Pam Bondi's "hate speech" comments yesterday is insane. Katie Miller says hatred of conservatives on college campuses led to Charlie Kirk's death. Bondi responds by saying antisemitism on college campuses is the real issue at hand, and what the government needs to be focused on, "especially after what happened to Charlie." She then uses Charlie's death to justify unconstitutional prosecution of "hate speech," and spends the next 40 seconds talking about prosecuting antisemitism. I take back what I said yesterday. I don't think Pam Bondi is an idiot, I think she's working on behalf of foreign interests to clamp down on free speech in America –– and I know for a fact Charlie would've spoken out against it.

Tucker UNLEASHES on AG Pam Bondi with a blistering 3-minute rebuttal to her remarks on “hate speech.” The monologue version of Tucker is back. This is EXACTLY what we need from him right now. “There’s free speech and then there’s hate speech. This is the Attorney General of the United States, the chief law enforcement officer of the United States, telling you that there is this other category called hate speech. And of course, the implication is that’s a crime. There’s almost no sentence that Charlie Kirk. “And I, I’m not running the risk of appropriating his memory for my own ends by saying this. It’s provable. There’s no sentence that Charlie Kirk would have objected to more than that. And you’ve got to think the Attorney General didn’t think it through and was not attempting to desecrate the memory of the person she was purporting to celebrate that she just threw that out there, that she hadn’t thought about it. “You hope that. You hope that Charlie Kirk’s death won’t be used by a group we now call bad actors to create a society that was the opposite of the one he worked to build. You hope that. “You hope that a year from now, the turmoil we’re seeing in the aftermath of his murder won’t be leveraged to bring hate speech laws to this country. And trust me, if it is, if that does happen. There is never a more justified moment for civil disobedience than that, ever. “And there never will be. Because if they can tell you what to say, they’re telling you what to think. There is nothing they can’t do to you because they don’t consider you human. They don’t believe you have a soul. A human being with a soul. A free man has a right to say what he believes, not to hurt other people, but to express human his views. “And by the way, that thinking, and not to pile on the Attorney General, who’s a very nice person, but that thinking that she just articulated on camera there is exactly what got us to a place where some huge and horrifying percentage of young people think it’s okay to shoot people you disagree with to kill Nazis for saying things they don’t like. “Why do they believe that? How did we get here? Is it the video games? Is it the SSRIs? Yeah, probably. But what it really is is 12 and then 16 years of indoctrination in our schools at the hands of people who tell them that, who say exactly what the Attorney General just said. “Well, there’s free speech, which of course, we all acknowledge is important, so, so important. But then there’s this thing called hate speech. Hate speech, of course, is any speech that the people in power hate. But they don’t define it that way. They define it as speech that hurts people, speech that is tantamount to violence. And we punish violence, don’t we? “Of course we do. They’ve been taught that every year of their lives. And so naturally, most of them believe it. When Charlie Kirk is shot in the throat with a .36 on camera. I doubt very many young Americans want to see something like that or actually applaud the death of a man, a father, a husband. “But they’ve been told for their entire lives in schools exactly what Pam Bondi just told them. Well, there’s free speech, but then there’s also hate speech. And woe to those who engage in it because it’s a crime.”

Free speech is not for the speech you like or for the people you like. Free speech is for the speech that you hate of the people you despise. If you're for free speech, you have to be for their free speech, or else you're not for free speech. You're for the government breaking the constitution. Full Video:

Karnatka's Hate Speech Bill: Congress government in Karnataka has tabled a bill that claims to curb hate speech, but it attempts to risk free speech! The wording of the bill is vague and open to interpretation, which means even ordinary statements could be judged as ill will and lead to serious criminal action. India already has laws to deal with hate speech, and even the Supreme Court has said that the real problem is weak enforcement, not the absence of law. When the line between free speech and crime becomes unclear, people begin to self censor out of fear rather than responsibility!

When I was growing up, it never made sense to me that the KKK and the Nazis were allowed to have marches, spewing their hate openly despite their violent, hateful past. It was explained to me that under the 1st Amendment, their speech is protected, no matter how disagreeable or hateful it is. TODAY, Pam Bondi said that you can be targeted by the DOJ for free speech if you say mean things about Charlie Kirk or trump because that is "hate speech." Doesn’t that LITERALLY contradict the principle the right has been celebrating about Charlie Kirk? Isn’t that… unconstitutional?

A few weeks ago the Irish government informed the EU that they would not go along with demands to force hate speech laws on the people of Ireland. Today, the European Commission Against Racism and Intolerance has once again urged Ireland to implement hate speech laws. But even regime friendly media is reacting negatively to this news. There will never be hate speech laws in Ireland, it's time for the tyrants at the European Commission to accept that.

Even Tucker Carlson is raising awareness that California is ending Free Speech with passed legislation Elon Musk needs to be aware of this “The state of California — has passed a law in the state legislature, both chambers of the state legislature, it awaits a signature from Gavin Newsom, that would ban hate speech on the internet in California. Hate speech. Now, how do they define hate speech? I actually have the definition. I actually wrote it down because I was so shocked by it that this is happening. The state of California, if Gavin Newsom signs this law, and he has until October 13th to do it, he, people will be fined if the censors determine that speech constitutes, and we're quoting now, "Violence, intimidation, or coercion..." What's intimidation or coercion — coercion based on race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, immigration status, or other protected characteristics. Obviously, white Christian men are not covered under that - The state of California under Gavin Newsom is about to, we think, censor the opinions of Americans. Not to protect anybody, but to shield themselves from criticism so they can continue to do what they want to do in secret.” This new law will impose millions and millions of dollars in fines forcing social media companies to censor what California Democrats define as hate speech

I don’t think the young man who killed Charlie Kirk for “spreading hate” did so because he listened to Charlie & formed his own conclusions. He & so many lost souls from his generation have been told what to think by a relentless brainwashing campaign from the media & the indoctrination factories that our schools have become, which teach people that President Trump, Charlie, & conservatives are the worst people in the world, That political speech they disagree with is violence, & that the appropriate response to that speech IS violence.

AB 1803 would force employers with 5+ employees to implement “anti-hate speech” training. But “hate speech” has no clear legal definition, and the Supreme Court has made clear it is not an exception to the First Amendment. So what counts as “hate” will be decided by shifting cultural & political standards. And we already know how that plays out. I have personally been compared to a Nazi, called hateful, transphobic, and harmful, by sitting members of this Legislature, simply for expressing common-sense views and my religious beliefs. So is that hateful?
