I WANTED TO GIVE YOU GUYS ONE OTHER EXAMPLE OF A
POLITICIAN ATTACKING JOURNALIST.
THIS TIME IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC.
THIS IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE CZECH REPUBLIC AND HE WENT
TO A PRESS CONFERENCE HOLDING A REPLICA OF AN AK-47 AND ON
IT, WRITTEN ON IT IS SAID FOR JOURNALISTS.
HE IS BEEN KNOWN TO BE INCREDIBLY HARSH AND CRUEL
TO HER JOURNALIST.
HE HAS PREVIOUSLY REFERRED TO THEM AS MANEUVER AND HYENAS AND
YOU KNOW, THIS IS GET ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF A POLITICIAN WHO
CAN'T HANDLE ANYONE WHO DARES SPEAK TRUTH TO POWER.
THIS IS THE WAY THEY REACT TO IT.
UNFORTUNATELY THERE'S A BUNCH OF THESE MANIACS THROUGHOUT
THE WORLD NOW, THESE GUYS WITH DICTATORIAL TENDENCIES.
THEY TAKE OVER GOVERNMENT AND THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW,
DEMOCRACY IS GONE.
WE HAVE SEEN THAT MOVIE BEFORE TO AN DEMOCRACY IS VOTING, OF
COURSE THAT'S A HUGE PART OF IT BUT IT ALSO WITH OTHER THINGS
LIKE FREEDOM OF PRESS, FREEDOM OF SPEECH, WHAT MAKES WESTERN
DEMOCRACY WHAT IS SO GREAT SO HE ALSO SAID IN MAY WHEN HE WAS IN
FLIGHT WITH VLADIMIR PUTIN, HE JOKED THAT SOME OF THE
JOURNALISTS AT THE EVENT NEED TO BE LIQUIDATED.
WHEN PRUDENT, THEIR ALLEGATIONS AND STRONG ONES THAT PUTIN HAS
ACTUALLY LIQUIDATED JOURNALIST, THAT IS NOT A FUNNY JOKE AND
THEN WHEN YOU BRING OUT AN AK-47 AND YOU SAY FOR JOURNALISTS AND
YOU HAVE TALKED ABOUT GETTING RID OF THEM BEFORE, NOT
REMOTELY FUNNY OR INTERESTING, SUPER DANGEROUS.
THIS GUY IS ALSO A LUNATIC BY THE WAY.
THAT WASN'T CONVINCING ENOUGH, HE BELIEVES AND HE SAID THIS
LAST YEAR THAT CHECKS NEED TO ARM THEMSELVES BECAUSE OF A
POTENTIAL SUPER HOLOCAUST THAT'S GOING TO BE CARRIED OUT BY
MUSLIMS IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC DOTS I DIDN'T KNOW THERE WERE
THAT MANY MUSLIMS IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC.
I DIDNíT KNOW THEY WERE
ON THE VERGE OF WINNING AND THEN TAKING
CHARGE AND GETTING RID OF DEMOCRACY.
I THOUGHT THAT WAS YOU GUYS AND THEN GOING AROUND KILLING
THEIR OPPONENTS.
A SUPER HOLOCAUST BY THE REALLY POWERFUL MUSLIMS IN THE
CZECH REPUBLIC?
THESE GUYS ARE ABSOLUTELY LUNATIC STOCK
YEAH, AND IT'S ALSO IRONIC THAT HE WOULD MAKE
STATEMENTS LIKE THAT ABOUT ANYONE, RIGHT?
WHEN IN REALITY THE REAL VIOLENT PERSON IS THE INDIVIDUAL
WHO WOULD SHOW UP TO A PRESS CONFERENCE HOLDING A
REPLICA OF AN AK-47 THREATENING JOURNALISTS.
YOU KNOW, THINK ABOUT THAT FOR A SECOND BUT ONE THING THAT I ALSO
WANT TO POINT OUT IS THAT THAT STUFF THAT HE PULLED WITH
AK-47 HAPPENED LESS THAN A WEEK AFTER ANOTHER JOURNALIST
DIED IN A CAR BOMBING.
JOURNALIST DAPHNE CARUANA GALIZIA WAS KILLED IN MALTA
BY A CAR BOMB.
WHAT A COINCIDENCE.
SHE DIED IN A CAR BOMB.
AGAIN, ANOTHER JOURNALIST GETS TARGETED, SHE'S BEEN VERY
CLEARLY MURDERED IN LESS THAN A WEEK AFTER THAT HAPPENS THE
PRESIDENT OF THE CZECH REPUBLIC IT DECIDES IT'S A GREAT IDEA TO
HOLD THAT REPLICA AK-47 THREATENING JOURNALISTS.
THAT WAS IN MALTA AND THIS IS IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC BUT IT
WAS CLEARLY IN THE NEWS IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC AND THE
PRESIDENT DOESN'T CARE AT ALL.
BY THE WAY THEY ELECTED A NEW PRIME MINISTER IN THE CZECH
REPUBLIC AND HE IS A BILLIONAIRE POPULIST.
OLD BOY.
THERE ARE A LOT OF SIMILARITIES HERE BETWEEN WHAT IS HAPPENING
THROUGHOUT THE WORLD AND IT IS NOT GOOD NEWS FOR JOURNALISTS.
NOT GOOD NEWS FOR FREEDOM OF THE PRESS OR ANYONE WHO IS
INTERESTED IN PROTECTING WESTERN DEMOCRACIES.
