	The Poso Daily Brief.
	This is what happens when the fourth turning meets fifth generation warfare.
	A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.
	This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.
	Hold it.
	This is a good one.
	Is everybody listening?
	Deranged Jack Smith.
	We're going to call it the Deranged Jack Smith.
	Signing.
	Wait, I just want to savor this one, please.
	Who would like this pen?
	Why don't you send it to Jack Smith?
	After a lot of prayer, a lot of thoughts with my family and my friends, I'm here to announce my candidacy to be the next governor of the great state of Florida.
	More than 100 intelligence officers are now being fired for allegedly participating.
	In sexually explicit conversations in national security agency chat rooms.
	Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard made the announcement yesterday calling this a violation of trust.
	But I love the countries of Europe.
	I love all countries, frankly, all different.
	But the European Union's been...
	It was formed in order to screw the United States.
	I mean, look, let's be honest.
	The European Union was formed in order to screw the United States.
	That's the purpose of it.
	And they've done a good job of it, but now I'm president.
	We are in front of the prosecutor's office.
	A mob already gathered here to support Kalin Georgescu.
	He was coming to our headquarters to make the file for his candidacy at the president's office.
	So at this hour we were supposed to meet.
	He was in traffic.
	And they took him out of his car and brought him here.
	We will keep you updated.
	Jack Pesovic here, live human events daily, Washington, D.C. Today is February 26, 2025.
	And, Domini, as you saw in the cold open just there, breaking news early this morning.
	I woke up to this like everybody else.
	The leading candidate, the leading conservative candidate, populist nationalist there in Romania on the cusp of their presidential election.
	Remember, this was the election that J.D. Vance had talked about being overturned when he was there at the Munich conference and lambasted them for the EU for not standing up for traditional European values and actually the democratic goals they claim are so important to them.
	Callan Drogescu has just been arrested.
	I want to bring on now George Simeon, the president of the Alliance for the Union of Romanians.
	He's there with us now.
	We're getting him on in a second here.
	We're going to have him in a second.
	He's live from Romania here on Human Events Daily because people need to understand this.
	This is exactly what J.D. Vance was warning about when he went to Munich.
	And then again, when he was at CPAC, he said, those people who arrest and jail candidates, guess what?
	We saw that right here in the United States in 2024, didn't we?
	Donald Trump arrested four times, got one mug shot out of it.
	Donald Trump supporters arrested, raided for years, in some cases held for years without court, without even a trial.
	They were held, these patriots.
	Understand what it was, a patriot purge of the United States of America.
	And so that's what the J6ers were, and so we understood this.
	We've seen it again and again.
	The raiding of homes, the arresting of political candidates.
	Mike Benz will also be with us later in the hour because this is huge.
	This is absolutely massive, ladies and gentlemen.
	And the idea that we're going to sit there and act like this is totally normal, it's perfectly fine for, again, a European government.
	When we are told again and again that the EU stands for democracy, that the EU stands for European values, that the EU stands for tradition, all of these things.
	That they claim they are supposed to be standing for.
	And yet, we get this on the back end of it.
	Again, this was the same presidential election in Romania that was overthrown and overturned when they couldn't even find any...
	They said, oh, it was Russian interference.
	They couldn't find any evidence.
	The Romanian Supreme Court threw out the election anyway.
	Wake up, ladies and gentlemen.
	And J.D. Vance, guess what?
	100%.
	Correct.
	We'll be right back.
	We're going live, Human Events Daily, to Romania.
	Now it's time for everyone to understand what America First truly means.
	Welcome to the second American Revolution.
	Okay, Jack Posobiec, here we are back.
	Real America's Voice, Human Events Daily, bringing in now Charlie Kirk, Hour 3, the Salem Radio Network.
	The huge news out of Romania this morning.
	The populist nationalist candidate for president, Colin Drogescu, has been arrested by Romanian authorities there on charges that seem incredibly spurious.
	Again, this was the...
	Presidential election that was overturned by the Romanian Supreme Court.
	This is what J.D. Vance warned us about.
	This is what he went to that Munich conference and the heads, the storied heads of Europe.
	And he said, you are the ones that are not upholding European traditional values.
	You are the ones that are actually standing up against democracy.
	And if you're going to run around the world saying that you are the moral arbiters of democracy, then you need to uphold those ideals at home.
	And instead, you're jailing people.
	And you're overturning elections in Romania.
	Well, the leading candidate in Romania was just arrested, and certainly we saw that here in the United States last year in 2024. I want to go live now to Romania.
	We've got George Simeon, the president for the Alliance for the Union of Romanians.
	George, I just saw you at CPAC. I had no idea this would be going on.
	Give us all the latest.
	I understand that you're in a chaotic situation there.
	Yeah, we have an ongoing coup d'etat happening here in Bucharest.
	Thanks a lot for reporting about this.
	I'm going from police station to police station.
	They take people off the streets so that everybody knows who I am.
	I'm the leader of the most important conservative political party in Romania, second largest party after the results of the parliamentary elections.
	We supported Mr. Kalin Georgescu, who was arrested today.
	He was coming to our headquarters to AUR party.
	You visited us last year at the Make Europe Great Again event.
	So we were completing the file for him for a new candidacy for the president of Romania, and he was stopped in traffic.
	And the police officers and prosecutors took him, took Mr. Kalin Georgescu to the general prosecutor's office, where he got, in the end, one hour ago, he got judicial control.
	And he is now not allowed to speak on social networks and not allowed to give interviews.
	It's quite a dictatorship here since the annulment of the presidential elections, the second round on 6th December.
	So he was coming towards us.
	Then we received a message from Mr. Kaleen that he is arrested and he's going to the prosecutor's office.
	Now we have news from Romanian CNN, which is the same as CNN in America, is run by globalists.
	That more and more people are arrested from the campaign team of Mr. Georgescu.
	This happened to me, actually, also in June.
	They arrested us three days before the European elections for the European Parliament.
	Because Romania is quite an important country, we have 43 members of the European Parliament.
	So they were scared of the result.
	Now they are scared of the result of the presidential race.
	You were to Romania, Jack, last year.
	You know, we are a civilized country.
	We are a country inside of EU, so we are not a banana republic.
	We don't have a military junta which is taking over power.
	We just have the globalists.
	Who don't want a peaceful transition, like in 2020 in America.
	They cling to power and they use all the institutions in order not to lose control of the state institutions here in Bucharest.
	Well, and for folks, and that's right, we were there last year, myself, Tanya Tay, traveling for the Make Europe Great Again conference, my first time to Romania.
	I found it to be a lovely country.
	We enjoyed Bucharest very much.
	But also Romania, of course, and for the listeners who don't know, that Romania is a key member of the NATO alliance, and actually the leverage with NATO is huge.
	This is where the 101st Airborne, so U.S. troops are on the ground in Romania.
	The 101st Airborne are currently there.
	You've got the Multinational Corps Southeast, NATO Force Integration Unit, the military base.
	It's a huge, huge base for NATO. Yes, yes.
	Six American bases here in Romania.
	So yes, it is quite important.
	We, AUR Party, are the most important supporter of maintaining NATO and maintaining the strategic partnership with the US. I'm also vice president of the European party called ECR, European Conservatives and Reformists, which is the most pro-transatlantic...
	We are in favor of keeping the good, special relations between the EU and the US. Now, there are the Globalist and the Soros Network.
	We're trying to prevent Europe from taking the turn that was taken in the States.
	And they are trying to stop what has become the mega movement from the MAGA movement of President Trump to make Europe great.
	Again, the mega movement we are trying to implement in all 27 countries of the European Union.
	So we have repeated elections, presidential elections in Romania in May, and we are supposed to have free elections and to return back to democracy in the same time as the Polish elections.
	in the month of May will be very, very important for the patriotic forces, for the sovereignist forces here.
	But hopefully we will remain free and we will not be in jail until now because they are simply creating fake evidences against Kalin Giorgiosko and against us as the main opposition party.
	This is what people need to understand.
	And And for folks, we have a couple of minutes left, George.
	Why was it that Giorgescu won the first round of the presidential election?
	Why was this overturned by the Supreme Court?
	It wasn't actually the Supreme Court because the Supreme Court is made up of judges.
	We have some sort of constitutional court here in Romania formed out of politicians, members named by the former president who we managed to sack last week.
	He resigned.
	So they are basically politicians who decided without any evidence, without any shred of proof that the elections will be annulled because the normal result and what we were expecting was that Kalin Georgescu would have won fair and square the second round of elections against a globalist candidate.
	So they didn't like the result.
	So they annul the elections.
	Fair enough, no?
	It's crazy.
	We wouldn't have considered this idea, but they are desperate and they are clinging onto power.
	This is absolutely undemocratic.
	This is not the way the system is supposed to work.
	This is not the...
	The idea or the ideals and values that people are supposed to be talking about.
	Look, Romania, of course, having been under the Iron Curtain, suffered so much during the Cold War, suffered so much during the Communist times to regain the freedom after the fall of the Soviet Union, the fall of the Communists, now to only be turned to the post-Communist order.
	This is not freedom, and the people of Romania are standing up.
	George, can we hold you over?
	We have another break.
	Can you do one more segment with us?
	Yes, then I'm going in the only news television that is on the side of the opposition and on the side of the Romanian power.
	We'll take you as long as we can.
	We have a quick break here.
	We'll hold you as long as you can.
	I understand you're going through the protests now, folks.
	We are coming live directly to the heart of what's going on there, this color revolution that's breaking out in Romania.
	Human Events Daily, Hour 3, Charlie Kirk Salem Radio Network.
	Today, you know, you talk about influencers.
	These are influences.
	And they're friends of mine.
	Jack Posobiec.
	Where's Jack?
	He's done a great job.
	All right, Jack Posobiec, here we are back live.

	We're working on getting George Simeon back on here on the program.
	Look, people have to understand, Romania is working on the current largest NATO base.
	All of NATO in Romania.
	This is a key member of the NATO alliance.
	That's why there's so much focus on Romania as a country.
	George is there with us.
	He's been so grateful and gracious with his time here.
	George, you're back live.
	You made it into the studio.
	Tell us, why are they doing this?
	Why is the government cracking down on populist nationalist parties?
	I think we are a polygon test for them.
	I think if Romania fails...
	Then they will win over Poland and they will win all other elections in Europe and they will try to make an enemy out of the European Union, an enemy of the Trump administration and an enemy of the United States.
	The globalists have their last Powers are in Europe, so they are clinging to power.
	So they won't let the Romanian people vote and express democratically their will.
	This is why we are fighting.
	This is why we are trying to put pressure on the government.
	We have on Friday a non-confidence motion, a motion of censure of the socialist prime minister, who is a corrupt, greedy...
	Politicians, like many Democrats in the States.
	So we are fighting, but we cannot fight alone.
	We need international support.
	We will have Saturday a big rally, a big demonstration march involving about one million Romanians.
	We'll march for democracy and we'll have support from other European countries.
	Like I told you, we support the special relations with the United States and with the Trump administration.
	We are also a Trumpist party, so they are trying to block us.
	And we really need your help in order to restore constitutional order and democracy in our country.
	George, what can Americans do to help?
	It's getting the word out on social media, contacting senators, contacting Secretary of State Marco Rubio, ways that we can help.
	What can we do?
	Yes, spread the word.
	Also, Elon Musk is retweeting about our situation.
	We really, really appreciated the speech J.D. Vance had in Munich and repeated in CPEC about the situation with the annulled elections in Romania.
	Spread the word out.
	I'm posting updates on my ex-account.
	I'm actually the most popular politician in Romania on TikTok and Facebook.
	X is not that spread, but on X I'm posting materials in English language.
	So you can inform yourself about the coup d'etat that is ongoing here.
	Well, George, I want to say thank you.
	Thank you so much.
	Please go follow George Simeon.
	Thank you as well, always, just being so welcoming to myself and to Tanya Tay when we've come to Bucharest and, of course.
	We will have to come back.
	George Simeon there giving us the breaking news on this globalist color revolution that's breaking out in Romania.
	We'll be right back with more Human Events Daily.
	the Charlie Kirk Hour 3 Salem Radio Network.
	And Jack, when is Jack?
	Come on.
	Where is Jack?
	Where is he?
	Jack, I want to see you.
	Great job, Jack.
	Thank you.
	What a job you do.
	You know, we have an incredible thing.
	We're always talking about the fake news and the bad, but we have guys, and these are the guys who should be getting Pulisic.
	All right, Jack Posobiec, here we are back live.
	Human Events Daily, Washington, D.C. Incredible news out of Romania.
	And so a lot of people are asking, why are the globalists so focused on Romania?
	Look, J.D. Vance is talking about it in Munich.
	J.D. Vance again brought it up in...
	CPAC and his remarks there.
	And then we saw the arrest of, so we've seen the arrest of Callan Drogescu this very morning, his detention, raids on his supporters, as well as the overturning of his presidential election just a couple of weeks ago.
	But why Romania?
	Why does Romania matter so much?
	Well, someone who is an expert on this and all things USAID and all things globalism joins us now.
	It is the great Mike Benz.
	What's up, Benz?
	The executive director from the Foundation of Freedom Online.
	Great to see you, Jack.
	Yeah, well, no surprises here today.
	It's like clockwork.
	I mean, I would be shocked if something like this did not happen.
	This is stock standard blob craft.
	On display in its ugliest form, the same thing was done to Imran Khan, the same thing was done to the PIS party in Poland, and now it's being done in Romania.
	Folks, remember, in Pakistan, Imran Khan, the popular head of state there, was ousted in a U.S. State Department-backed coup where lead cables showed that carrots and sticks were given to the parliamentarians, the members of the Pakistani Intelligence and Military Corps.
	To get him removed in the no-confidence vote, despite being the most popular person in the country and the elected head of state, they then canceled and postponed elections because they were afraid that Imran Khan would simply win the next election after being removed.
	And so in order to stop that so that they could have elections again, they simply arrested him on something like 200 charges.
	He is currently in prison still today.
	The same thing we saw, and I talked about this, On Joe Rogan and many other places, the National Endowment for Democracy hatched a plan after a razor-close Polish election to essentially try to pressure Donald Tusk's government to arrest all of the major political figures around the PIS party to, quote, stamp out populism and ensure that they can't win again in the next election.
	That is an explicit plot from the U.S. government, and make no doubt about it.
	Ned gets 100% of its funds from the U.S. government and directly from the State Department.
	It is accountable to the State Department.
	We saw the same thing here in Romania, which is that if they didn't arrest him, they could nullify round one.
	They could nullify round two.
	The guy is going to win unless you take him out.
	We call this democratic stability when we arrest someone and then achieve a stable state because there's no way the opposition can win.
	So, the through line here for all of this, of course, is these are the populist nationalist candidates that we're talking about.
	It's every time.
	So, I'm not going to sit here and say, like, you know, Imran Khan and the Poles and the Romanians all have the same political ideology when it comes to their philosophy and politics or where they're coming from, but what do they stand against?
	That's what you have to look at.
	These are people who stand for the sovereignty of their country against this global international statecraft.
	And so when it comes to Imran Khan, well, what does he say?
	He's right there in Pakistan.
	I mean, we could talk about all of the pipelines and the Chinese trying to get across and build their pipelines and their economic corridors with the Belt and Road Initiative across Pakistan to connect them with Iran.
	Then when you go to Romania and when you go to Poland, of course, these are key corridors.
	Poland having the LNG platform where the United States can bring LNG. And what does Romania offer that Poland does not to NATO? They have the direct port Constantana on the
	Black Sea.
	Benz, why is that port of Constantinus so important to NATO? Well, NATO is building the largest NATO base in all of Europe, right there on the Black Sea coast, pointing straight out at Crimea.
	As we speak, drones and military fighter jets are being moved from the Rammstein.
	It is going to be the number one source of force projection for NATO against Russia for the duration of this war and, frankly, for the decades following.
	Romania does not want a big fat kick-me sign from Russia on its back.
	And so what Georgescu is guilty of is the same thing that Imran Khan and the PIS party were.
	It's what the State Department cables refer to as taking a, quote, aggressively neutral position.
	Just before Imran Khan was ousted, he had said, we want to be friends with everyone.
	We don't hate the United States, but we don't hate Russia.
	Same thing with how the Polish PIS party was shifting towards the end of their tenure.
	They wanted good relations with all.
	And it's the same thing with what Georgescu has been saying.
	He hasn't been, you know, talking.
	Talking ill of the West very much.
	It's been mostly that he just didn't want to have Romania be the source of force projection for killing Russians.
	And Romania plays a very important role for several reasons.
	It is also one of the primary modes of transport of weapons from Pakistan and from other shipment by sea.
	Before it gets to Ukraine, because it is a NATO country, and so Russia cannot mess with goods bound for Romania the same way they could if it was going directly to Ukraine.
	And so there is this pipeline of transshipment of munitions into Romania.
	Georgescu has indicated that he wants to stop that as well.
	He doesn't want Romanian-bound weapons killing Russians, and he doesn't want the NATO base there.
	And so NATO can no longer go around assassinating people or doing 1999 style, you know, 78 straight days of bombing campaigns on the parliament in Romania simply because they voted for someone in election.
	They need another mechanism to make sure their plans still happen.
	And that mechanism is taking over the court system in Romania.
	And we saw USAID funds juicing the whole Romanian court system.
	We see USAID programs for rule of law and anti-corruption.
	And all that means is regime change because you can't assassinate them formally.
	The only way you can do it is judicially.
	Well, and of course, this is something that in the past, the Romanians, you know, they say it's the post-communist government.
	But in many ways, the post-communist order, which was set up particularly in this part, the footprints of these post-communist nations in the eastern part of Europe, really do kind of maintain a lot of the same character as their communist predecessors.
	The only difference being, rather than being controlled by Moscow, they're controlled by globalists out of...
	Brussels, but they're backed by, in many cases, certainly in Romania and Hungary, by the George Soros Network, the Open Society Network.
	And this is something I was actually having a discussion about this with Carrie Lake when she's now going to be taking over the Voice of America.
	But you have the same issue where so many of the people that get hired at these places, especially...
	The Voice of America offices.
	They're actually locals.
	They say, oh, there's no way Americans can do this job.
	They'll hire locals who have been trained in Soros universities, who have come up through the Soros ranks, have been through Soros government entities or these NGOs, many times backed by USAID funding.
	This has been the playbook.
	This has been the playground.
	Why?
	And I think you hit the nail on the head.
	Because they are totally focused on war with Russia.
	That's what they've been planning for.
	That's why they're building this.
	That's why all these things matter so much to them.
	And if you look at all of their moves from an anti-Russia standpoint, including this right now, by the way, this is what it's all about.
	Yeah, you can imagine from a perspective, same things that Big New Brzezinski said about funding the Mujahideen, that, yeah, we funded these Islamo-fascist terrorist groups.
	But what is the what is a bunch of hillside guerrillas in either a hill of beans in the scale of the history of winning the Cold War?
	And that is the way NATO sees the fate of the sovereignty of Romania.
	Yeah, we arrested the guy who would have won the election, but if we didn't do that, we wouldn't get our NATO base, we wouldn't get our weapons in Ukraine, and we'd lose the entire...
	You know, 21st century great plan to seize Eurasia from Russia.
	And so they feel like they have to do this.
	And the American people now have a choice about whether or not we need to go along with this, given that we provide over half of all NATO funding.
	Well, and good thing, by the way, that there was never any blowback from funding the Mujahideen.
	I mean, I can't certainly think of anything that's anything negative that's come of that, right?
	Nah, can't think of anything.
	Nothing coming up?
	No, it worked out great.
	I mean, we just won the war.
	The Middle East is perfectly safe.
	Everything's great.
	I mean, it's definitely not like they turned into the Taliban and Osama bin Laden's Al-Qaeda that came back to the United States.
	ISIS. Now Romania is free, Jack.
	Think of that.
	You know, we won the Cold War.
	Now Romania is a totally free and sovereign country.
	Hey, I'm just going to pop Rambo 3 onto my Plex server later tonight and just watch and think about how great the Mujahideen is.
	No, look, this is what always happens.
	This is like the funding of, and by the way, for folks who haven't seen it, and I just, you know, Benz, I just got back from Ukraine last week.
	And now what are we seeing as the Ukraine peace talks come forward is we're seeing more and more radicalization from these Azov types.
	We are seeing them saying, oh, you sold us out.
	You and the Americans, particularly in the West, in general, you sold us out.
	Which, by the way, we did warn you.
	If you listen to Human Events Daily or The War Room or any of us guys on the right, we said over and over that this will not end well for you guys.
	But, Ben, all of this is happening as Trump is pressing the brakes on Ukraine, isn't it?
	Well, that's another thing they're afraid of, which is that Romania would be an allied state for Trump as well.
	And it would give Trump one more bargaining chip against the EU and against London in terms of the alliance structure within NATO and the alliance structure internationally for negotiating peace and for ending war with Russia, which basically destroys all the...
	You know, great laid plans of Perfidious Albion and our Shadow Diplomacy Network here in the U.S. But I just want to read out these charges, if I can do that, Jack, that just dropped against George Eskew.
	Because when he was actually arrested and thrown in the van in handcuffs, we actually didn't know what the crime was.
	Not that it mattered.
	They could indict him for, you know, eye contact that was held too long.
	But 20 years in prison he's facing.
	For, quote, incitement to actions against the constitutional order, initiating or establishing an organization with a fascist, racist, or xenophobic character.
	Hey, you mentioned the Azov Battalion.
	You think they're going to get rolled up next, Jack?
	I don't.
	Or in any form is the act of promoting fascist, legionary, racist, or xenophobic ideas, conceptions, or doctrines.
	The third charge, communication of false information.
	Continuous false declaration.
	So basically, he's arrested for misinformation after being the most popular candidate.
	Misinformation hates each, all the rest of it.
	Benz, we got that.
	We have our break coming up here, a hard break.
	We'll be right back.
	Mike Benz breaking down the truth about what's really going on in Romania.
	Jack Posobiec, Real America's Voice.
	Hour 3, Charlie, Perker Salem Radio Network.
	You're the best.
	Jack is a great guy.
	He's written a fantastic book.
	Everybody's talking about it.
	Go get it.
	And he's been my friend right from the beginning of this whole beautiful event.
	And we're going to turn it around and make our country great again.
	Amen.
	The point that I try to make to our European friends, and I think that they're our friends, I believe that, I know President Trump does, is that friendship is based on shared values.
	You do not have shared values if you're jailing people for saying we should close down our border.
	You don't have shared values if you cancel elections because you don't like the result, and that happened in Romania.
	You do not have shared values if you're so afraid of your own people that you silence them and shut them up.
	So let's have shared values.
	Let's defend democracy.
	Let's have free expression, not just in the United States, but all over the Western world.
	that is the path to strong alliances in Europe.
	When I'm working long hours, I'm always listening to Human Events with Jack Posobiec.
	All right, Jack Posobiec, we are back at the end of the Human Events Daily.
	Last segment, we're on with Mike Benz, as well as on our three Charlie Kirk Salem Radio Network.
	Benz, what are we also seeing on the censorship front?
	Of course, that's your bread and butter.
	We've been talking about the color revolutions, but when it really comes down to it, it is Internet censorship.
	And at the end of the day, look, This is an issue where I keep saying, look, I love that Elon is running X now.
	I love everything that he's done with it.
	But at the same time, we have to remember that censorship online can come back at a moment's notice.
	And that is the only thing.
	It is the only thing that allowed us to attain victory to be able to spread the message and actually what's going on with President Trump and the truth about what's going on.
	So, Ben, what are you seeing on the hot plate?
	Well, there's an incredible new bill that Representative Daryl Issa just sponsored, and it just passed today unanimously out of the House Judiciary Committee.
	It's called No Censors on Our Shores.
	And what it does is eventually blocks entry into the U.S. by any foreign government official who's a part of a foreign government speech censorship apparatus, also sends them packing if they're already here.
	And so you have this situation where you have these oligarchs in Europe.
	You have these oligarchs in Ukraine, these oligarchs in Romania, these oligarchs in Brazil, who have their cushy beachfront property in Miami or on the Northeast Corridor.
	Or in California.
	And they maintain property here in the U.S. They have networks and communities here in the U.S. And while they are using their own country's laws to coerce speech crackdowns and to target U.S. social media companies and the speech of hundreds of millions of Americans, we are giving them a free pass to come and go on our own soil.
	Meanwhile, they are seizing assets of our companies on theirs.
	For example, Brazil shut down X and seized assets from Starlink, a completely unrelated company, just because they thought Elon Musk, by targeting Elon Musk and his portfolios, they would be able to compel more censorship out of X. The EU has threatened to do the exact same thing.
	Also, to go after Tesla, they've threatened.
	Why should they be here on our shores when they're functioning as effectively enemy combatants and massive human rights violators by going after the very thing that they call other countries autocratic for doing?
	And so this is a very powerful point of leverage.
	If this passes through Congress, and I believe a full court press should be applied to make sure that any Republican who even...
	Thinks in their sleep about voting against this should be primaried into oblivion and $100 million going to their primary opponent to make sure that that happens is a necessity because every point of leverage that we have legally here in the U.S. is something that J.D. Vance and President Trump, the U.S. ambassador to the EU, the U.S. ambassador to Brazil, the U.S. ambassador to NATO can hold up and say, well, listen, you take one of ours, we take one of yours.
	You want to...
	Say that Americans can't talk to Americans about the affairs in the EU. You want to tax 6% of its global annual revenue if they don't comply with your disinformation edicts?
	Well, hope you had a nice time with your Miami beach house because you can't go there anymore.
	Not until your country sets its speech freedom free.
	And it's important to remember that these two things are interlinked, as you said, about the Color Revolution playbook.
	George Eskew's first round election was suspended by the judiciary, the corrupt judiciary in Romania, because of TikTok, because he was too popular on TikTok.
	The whole USAID, NED, State Department network censored the ever-loving oblivion out of Jair Bolsonaro, one of the people who played a key role in that, even said that...
	Bolsonaro probably would have won, if not for, the U.S.-led censorship effort.
	Just as efforts to set speech free under the Iron Curtain were pivotal to being able to do color revolutions to liberate people from Soviet political vassalage, now we are doing exactly what we accused the Soviets doing, with doing censorship as a means of keeping control of our own vassals.
	It has to be a fair fight when it comes to the information space, or else you have no democracy at all.
	Look, and that's exactly what it is.
	And you know something?
	It wouldn't be the first time that American populism has been forced to save the world with freedom of speech.
	Mike Benz, where can people follow you, brother?
	Follow me on x at Mike Benz Cyber.
	Foundation is foundationforfreedomonline.com.
	Doing the Lord's work, Mike.
	Doing the Lord's work, Mike Benz.
	You've seen him absolutely everywhere, but he's always here, and he's always been willing.
	Very gracious with his time as well.
	Folks, this has been a banger show here on The Real America's Voice, Hour 3, Charlie Kirk Show, Salem Radio Network.
