Hate speech laws in the United States and Australia are being increasingly used to suppress legitimate political discourse, with individuals facing criminal prosecution for expressing political opinions, such as criticizing Israel or wearing political t-shirts, under subjective standards that criminalize speech merely 'instilling fear' in certain groups rather than requiring proof of direct harm or threats.

Why Amy Dangerfield Will Be Arrested If She Returns to AustraliaAdded:
uh that now they're pushing harder than ever to push these hate speech laws in 38 states around the US.
You look at like the American Revolution, which I love studying.
>> These guys, you had everything from like an Aaron Bird to an Alexander Hamilton as a part of those factions.
>> From 1775 to 1783, they all [ __ ] agreed.
>> They were good. They they're like, "Hey, we got we got a main priority here.
Let's take care of that." and then later they're [ __ ] literally shooting each other. That's sad, but it is what it is.
You know, it just goes to show you we haven't had enough of a >> unifying moment with things. Now, here's here's one I think about a lot cuz you're thinking on a lot of patterns here and like I've been doing this a long time and over time you you kind of like >> step out and you see things that people say in front of you and hear that sometimes it's like in the moment you're like that's interesting then later you're like oh that's way more interesting now. M >> but I remember back in the second time I recorded with Andrew Bamonte back in well we recorded the end of June 2022 he was saying in that podcast he said a line you know he worked at CIA definitely still does by the way you know and he was like we need an enemy I was like what what do you mean by that? He's like, "We need an enemy that we can all agree and coales around >> because that's something that will actually unify people and get away from some bullshit." And that's one place where I look at the timeline now and then I'm like, you know, he says that in June, he's starting to put that out there. And then, you know, you get the Kanye [ __ ] in fall 2022. You get October 7th in fall 2023. you get everyone talking about this and suddenly everyone's just talking about Israel >> and all that and you're like >> is is some of that again like on the five? Yeah. Is some of that very intentional?
>> Yes. I think largely so people start speaking out about it so they can institute these hate speech laws and have a legitimate framework for doing that because again you do you understand what I'm saying? Like again you you see this all around the world. It's like their typical like problem reaction solution playbook where if they can say enough people are sewing hate and are being uh conspiritizing and are being anti-semitic, uh they will use that to crush legitimate political discourse. Some people are so fed up that they're not being very tactful with the way that they explain the problem. And I don't blame them honestly because it is so patently obvious that sometimes you just want to double down and say some pretty harsh things. And then on the other hand, you have people who are a little bit more polished and a little bit more political and are presenting the issue as what it is. But either way, we're talking about the same thing. But the conversation is becoming so prevalent uh that now they're pushing harder than ever to push these hate speech laws in 38 states around the US. And this is the country that's meant to be about free speech. Like I I told you I haven't been back to Australia in 10 years. And >> Oh, you've never gone back once? No.
>> Oh, I didn't realize that.
>> At first it was um just merely because it's like a long flight, expensive, whatever. But like I couldn't go back now because there are people who are being arrested for far more benign things than the stuff that I espouse on on podcasts like this or on my own show or even the event that I tried to organize um just last weekend, right? Um where we're blatantly calling out the issue for what it is in long form to extent. I mean, there's there's fathers in Australia who've been arrested for 40 speeches on Australia Day where they say that Israel is not the greatest ally, it's the greatest enemy. Arrested behind bars. Yes. Behind bars. Uh there was a woman who was arrested for a political t-shirt that said from the river to the sea. That's it. She wore it to a protest. She said nothing else. She was arrested.
um Joel Davis, there are so many different examples of people who've actually been put behind bars that are being criminally prosecuted. And uh now the burden of uh proof or the standard of proof in Australia is simply you say something that instills fear inside of a Jewish person.
Not direct uh you know harm or threat to their well-being. subjective, >> but subjective something that that purely instills fear in them. And obviously, who's the arbiter of that, >> right? I mean, it's it's not your average Australian person. Australians can put up with a lot, okay? We we have a saying, we call it taking the piss. We we make fun of each other a lot. We tease each other a lot. What what Americans would call roasting. It's a roasting culture, okay? Uh but if you even instill fear inside of a Jewish person, you can be put behind bars for 5 years. So I agree with you here in the US. A lot of the I agree with you here in the US. A lot of the um the drama that's being stirred up, both sides of the political aisle, calling out the same issue, albeit maybe using slightly different words in different ways, some more extreme than others. It's becoming so prevalent that they're going to say we have a rampant issue with anti-semitism and that then gives them justification to actually enforce the hate speech laws. So they've already instituted a lot of these are passed by the way.
They're just not being enforced at scale. But like uh Florida is one of the worst, Ohio is one of the worst. And then there's uh another 36 states in total. But once they click that on button and they say, "Okay, now you're being prosecuted for this legitimately," they just need justification in order to be able to do that. They need this the sentiment to be not just like simmering but boiling over.
>> Are you talking about the BDS law specifically? So that's like if >> you're a business that >> refuses to do business with Israel or something like that, what what can happen? What What do these laws say?
>> Yeah. So, so basically it's there's things that affect businesses, but it's even on an individual level. For example, if you speak out about the state of Israel, you're ineligible to get a green card in a lot of these states. Like they're blocking immigration from people who actually want to spend real money. Like honestly, like I'm kind of scared for that. I'm not a full citizen yet. M >> like I I I don't know if I could be necessarily criminally prosecuted, but I could have this whole life that I've built taken away just for speaking out about this subject. But yeah, absolutely. You're not you're not allowed to um to speak negatively about Israel. Uh otherwise the the government, they have legitimate reasons to boycott your business, not do business with you, and to um to basically come after your livelihood. But if I say, you know, [ __ ] France, >> that's fine. I'm good.
>> Yeah, [ __ ] the French.
>> I like I like France. Great place. But if I said that, I'm good.
>> Listen, you can Here's the thing. You can >> place Adam. Come on.
>> I believe it. Listen, you can love your country and not love your government.
There's nothing wrong. There's nothing wrong with that. You should be able to criticize your government. And the issue is now you can actually criticize the American government more than the Israeli government as an American. And there's less repercussions for criticizing our own president than criticizing BB Netanyahu. Like what the heck?
>> Which by the way, could we pull this up, Dave? BB Netanyahu was elected with like 27% of the vote in Israel, which was like the Orthodox vote and like the hardcore like right-wing vote.
>> You and I were talking before camera.
Shortly before October 7th, they were on the brink of civil war because people were in the streets while he took control of the [ __ ] courts. Yeah.
>> To b and change the constitution effectively or was trying to do it to get him out of office. And now there is there's protests in Tel Aviv, I believe.
>> Oh yes. are asking for inquiries into October >> 7th, which is beyond awesome to hear that because there's been a lot of Israelis who were around that that day testifying on that publicly in front of I don't know if it's all like Knesset.
I've seen some videos where it's people associated with Knesset, but I don't want to say officially cuz it's not in front of me, but they've been talking about like the standown order and stuff like that.
>> You know, every [ __ ] powerful country in this world does false flag shits. M.
So you you need to ask the question. But this is literally last week you and I were talking about this. All these people out in the streets >> Yeah.
>> demanding the inqu Yeah. inquiry into the events of October 7th, which great for them. And that's what I mean. Like shout out to the Israelis who >> want this. Like it's it's common sense.
And >> exactly.
>> I was talking with a guy. I'm not going to say who it was cuz it was off the record, but someone who's been really connected to events over there in the last few years, who's not Israeli at all, but has spent a lot of time around Israelis. And this was the one thing he said when when he was talking about some of the things where he's come out and made some pretty strong statements. A lot of people in the Knesset have come to him and been like, "Brother, >> you are brave. How can we help?" And he's like, "What? What do you mean? You just [ __ ] say something?" They're like, "No, no, we can't.
>> We can't. How can we support you, though?" I'm like, "Holy shit." It's that it's that like >> it's that level. Yeah. 100. Dude, Charlie Kirk, who is one of the biggest proclaimed like Israel loyalists, right, literally is on record on PBD podcast in 2023 asking was there a standown order? I have been to Israel. It takes 40 minutes to get to the the the Gaza border via helicopter and that they let this thing carry out for hours and hours and hours.
Like, make it make sense.
