Steven Crowder Slams Fascist Censorship in Germany: “Time to Break Ties”

Podcaster and comedian Steven Crowder picked up the story of German YouTuber “Shlomo Finkelstein”, which Gateway Pundit has been covering for years, who is in prison for 12 months for so-called “hate speech”. Crowder slammed German officials for tolerating “hate speech” against the opposition AfD, Elon Musk or Donald Trump, while arresting people for criticizing the leftist government.  “I think it’s time to break ties until they start following our lead. The good news is we have the ability to do that,” Crowder said.

 “The Democrat party wants us to be far more like the Left in Germany and Canada,” Crowder said. “You can see by who they are allied with. You can see by the political debates in these countries. I saw it in Canada. The entire Liberal Party, the Trudeaus of Canada, are friends with the Kamalas and the Bidens, and they hate the Trumps. So, it’s important when you look at these issues to examine not just what does the Left do right now – what would they do if they had their way?”

“The good news is you can see what the Right would do, because right now we have it,” Crowder noted. “Right now, the Left is furious about the imbalance of power, but guess what? We’re looking at more freedom, we’re looking at more rights and we’re looking at government efficiency. They think that is the worst abuse of human rights. It’s DOGE right now. Have you seen people actually being silenced or jailed for speech? No. AP not being allowed in the Oval Office doesn’t count. When the Left has unfettered power, this is always what happens, and they prioritize ‘tolerance’ and virtue signaling over the well-being of their own citizens.”

Steven Crowder then played the appeal to Vice President J.D. Vance, President Donald Trump, and Elon Musk Shlomo released from prison (The Gateway Pundit reported).

“This is exactly what J.D. Vance was talking about in the speech he gave at the Munich Security Conference,” Crowder remarked. “What I worry about is the threat from within. The retreat of Europe from some of its most fundamental values, values shared with the United States of America. And unfortunately, when I look at Europe today, it’s sometimes not so clear what happened to the Cold War’s winners.”

“I look to Brussels, where EU Commissars warned citizens they intend to shut down social media during times of civil unrest the moment they spot what they’ve judged to be “hateful content.” Or to (Germany) where police have carried out raids against citizens suspected of posting “anti-feminist comments” online as part of “combating misogyny on the internet.””

“We cannot have alliances with countries, with nations that not only don’t share our fundamental values, but their views are antithetical to our values. We’ve talked about the priorities of Europe, in providing social benefits, social welfare, free internet, free health care, free vacation, free lunches, instead of protecting themselves. So, we know they are not aligned with the United States as it relates to military values, as it relates to international treaties they don’t honor. So they’re not good friends.”

“The priorities of Germany and most of Europe is punishing speech, intimidating citizens, while tolerating evil and allowing radical Islamic fundamentalism to flourish,” Crowder said. “They say this person needs to de-radicalize. I think the people who actually run over your folks with cars need to be de-radicalized.”

Crowder cited several examples of criminalizing free speech in Germany, such as AfD politician Marie-Thérèse Kaiser, who was fined for a Facebook post about migrant rape, or shutting down Compact Magazine and arresting the publisher, Jürgen Elsässer (TGP reported).

Elsässer is being sued Friday in Halle for posting that NGO “Campact”, Germany’s version of “Move On”, is funded by Open Society and the German government. Campact-owned censorship NGO HateAid was funded with €2,516,218.51 by the German government 2021-2023, Campact was funded with $300,000 by Open Society 2021, which in turn is funded by USAID and the EU.

“They arrested a 64-year-old man who called the Deputy Chancellor an “idiot” on X. That’s not even mean. That’s a very, very polite insult – especially if he said it with a German accent,” Crowder said. “They conducted raids and interrogations of 45 people for “misogynistic posts” in Germany.”

“My heart goes out to the German people, who don’t want this. Unfortunately, you have been represented by awful, spineless cowards for far too long and there needs to be more done about it. You need to change more minds there.”

“While they’re raiding 45 of their own citizens’ homes and places of work for “misogynistic” posts, there have been 20 terror attacks since 2015 alone. Three in just the last month. Three in just the last month.”

At the same time, it was perfectly acceptable to make tasteless Mardi Gras floats in Germany, insulting American politicians, Crowder charged, showing floats depicting AfD leader Alice Weidel, Elon Musk or Donald Trup waving swastikas.

“You can get arrested for calling an elected official an idiot in Germany, but they can call our elected officials (anything they want).”

“Yeah, they have Elon Musk with a swastika American flag.”

“And this is the point, guys. The Left will try and tell you that this is that this is about tolerance, about empathy. They don’t believe that for a second”, Crowder said. “It’s about weaponizing speech. You cannot chalk this up to ignorance. They do not believe for a second that it’s more acceptable to refer to Elon Musk or Donald Trump as a Nazi. They don’t. They know it’s not. They want to put you in jail for referring to them as idiots. Do you understand?”

“This whole cloak of empathy – people say woke is woke means being compassionate toward other people. No, it does not. There’s nothing compassionate about weaponizing speech. They tried to do it here in the United States and it hasn’t worked. But it has succeeded in Europe and I think it’s time to break ties until they start following our lead. The good news is we have the ability to do that.“

Meanwhile, in Lower Saxony, masked gangs of government-funded “Anti” fascists are going door to door hunting allegedly “right-wingers”, marking houses with allegedly “good democrats” with Xs and intimidating anyone who disagrees with them, as conservative news site NIUS reported:

Judge Subramanian: no “exceptional reasons” to release Diddy before sentencing.

Recent Judge Subramanian’s decisions may indicate hard times for Diddy come sentencing.

We have been following the pre-sentencing motions in the high-profile criminal trial of rap mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.

The defense: ‘Sean Diddy’s Combs’ Conviction Is Racist and Sexist’, Say Disgraced Rapper’s Lawyers on Yet Another Legal Filing Trying to Release Him on Bail Pending Sentencing

The Prosecution: Prosecutors Oppose Sean Diddy Combs’ 50M Bail Package, Ask for ‘Substantially Higher’ Sentence Than Before

Look who appeared: Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Trial: Ex-girlfirend Who Disappeared and Did Not Testify Against Rapper as ‘Victim 3’ Now Writes Letter to Judge to Grant Him Pre-sentencing Bail

Diddy has had his request for bail denied for the 5th time.

Today, we learn that federal judge Subramanian has yet again declined to grant Sean “Diddy” Combs bail, saying he found no ‘exceptional reasons’ to release him pending his October sentencing.

ABC News reported:

“Combs was convicted of transportation to engage in prostitution, which the judge said mandates incarceration. His sentencing is set for Oct. 3.

Judge Arun Subramanian said Combs remains a risk of flight and a danger to the community, pointing to the violence exhibited on 2016 hotel surveillance footage that shows him kicking and dragging Cassie Ventura.”

Combs remains a risk of flight and a danger to the community: Judge.

The judge ruled that the ‘swinger lifestyle’ argument does not fly in a case that includes ‘evidence of violence, coercion or subjugation in connection with the prostitution’. And the record, he wrote, contains evidence of all three.

Subramanian: “’While Combs may contend at sentencing that this evidence should be discounted and that what happened was nothing more than a case of willing ‘swingers’ utilizing the voluntary services of escorts for their mutual pleasure, the Government takes the opposite view: that Cassie Ventura and Jane were beaten, coerced, threatened, lied to, and victimized by Combs as part of their participation in these’.”

Nearly 78,000 New Applicants Flood ICE Recruitment to Help Crack Down on Illegal Immigration (VIDEO)

In a scorching new development under the Trump-backed ICE reign, Acting Director Todd Lyons confidently announced that “we have almost 78,000 applicants since we opened up,” referring to the agency’s massive recruitment surge launched just one week prior.

This seismic surge in interest aligns with ICE’s newly launched “Defend the Homeland” recruitment blitz, unveiled by the Department of Homeland Security on July 29, 2025.

ICE is budgeting for 10,000 new agents, dangling $50,000 signing bonuses, student‑loan forgiveness, enhanced overtime pay, and upgraded retirement plans to attract recruits.

According to the press release:

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) today launched a new U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) campaign to recruit brave and heroic Americans to join ICE as federal law enforcement agents and remove the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens from America’s streets.

“Your country is calling you to serve at ICE. In the wake of the Biden administration’s failed immigration policies, your country needs dedicated men and women of ICE to get the worst of the worst criminals out of our country,” said Secretary Kristi Noem. “This is a defining moment in our nation’s history. Your skills, your experience, and your courage have never been more essential. Together, we must defend the homeland.”

To support this effort, ICE is offering a robust package of federal law enforcement incentives, including: 

  • A maximum $50,000 signing bonus
  • Student loan repayment and forgiveness options
  • 25% Law Enforcement Availability Pay (LEAP) for HSI Special Agents
  • Administratively Uncontrollable Overtime (AUI) for Enforcement Removal Operations (ERO) Deportation Officers
  • Enhanced retirement benefits

Backed by significant new funding through the recently signed One Big Beautiful Bill, ICE is rolling out patriotic recruitment posters and benefits to attract the next generation of law enforcement professionals to find, arrest, and remove criminal illegal aliens.

During the Fox interview, Todd Lyons delivered the incredible news.

“We have almost 78,000 applicants since we opened up. We’re going through and finding those people who really want to serve the country and truly be in law enforcement. I think it’s a great way to recruit now.

We’re taking back our re-hired annuitants — people who left the job early because they weren’t allowed to do the law enforcement mission.

But we have so many people who are now interested in working with ICE because, under Secretary Nome’s leadership, they’re seeing that we have a viable law enforcement partner in the community. You’re actually out making a difference. We’re really ecstatic about seeing the increase in new recruits who are applying.”

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene Calls on Trump to Commute George Santos’ Excessive 7-Year-Sentence: ‘Some Members of Congress Who’ve Done Far Worse Still Walk Free’

Published

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R‑GA) has formally thrown down the gauntlet.

On Monday, she submitted a letter to the Office of the Pardon Attorney pleading for President Trump to commute the 87-month federal sentence of ex‑Congressman George Santos (NY‑03)—a punishment she calls “a grave injustice” and emblematic of a justice system fractured by politically selective persecution.

Greene wrote on X:

“BREAKING: I just sent a letter to the Office of the Pardon Attorney urging President Trump to commute the sentence of former Congressman @MrSantosNY.

A 7‑year prison sentence for campaign‑related charges is excessive, especially when Members of Congress who’ve done far worse still walk free.

George Santos has taken responsibility. He’s shown remorse. It’s time to correct this injustice. We must demand equal justice under the law!”

Greene signed her letter Aug. 4 to Pardon Attorney Edward Martin Jr. at the Justice Department, demanding Trump use his executive power to undo what she calls a “grave injustice.”

Drawing on inside knowledge, she described Santos as “without a prior criminal record,” “sincerely remorseful,” and portrayed his case as campaign-related maleficence, nothing warranting “one of the most extreme sentences in recent history.”

Green also reminded officials of the roster of current or former lawmakers who actually broke laws or ethics rules yet never lost a day.

The letter reads:

“I am writing to request that your office urge the President to commute the sentence of former Congressman George Santos. In April 2025, Mr. Santos was sentenced to 87 months in federal prison for wire fraud and aggravated identity theft charges. I wholeheartedly believe in justice and the rule of the law, and I understand the gravity of such actions. However, I believe a seven-year sentence for such campaign-related matters for an individual with no prior criminal record extends far beyond what is warranted.

As a Member of Congress, I worked with Mr. Santos on many issues and can attest to his willingness and dedication to serve the people of New York who elected him to office. He committed himself to serving his constituents and did whatever it took to represent their interests in Washington, D.C. He is sincerely remorseful and has accepted full responsibility for his actions. Furthermore, my office has spoken with a pastor of his who discussed the regret and remorse of Mr. Santos, agreeing that the sentence imposed is a grave injustice.

While his crimes warrant punishment, many of my colleagues who I serve with have committed far worse offenses than Mr. Santos yet have faced zero criminal charges. I strongly believe in accountability for one’s actions, but I believe the sentencing of Mr. Santos is an abusive overreach by the judicial system.

Commuting his sentence would acknowledge the severity of his actions and simultaneously provide a path forward in allowing him to make amends for his crimes and strive to better serve the people in his community.

I respectfully request you to urge the President to commute the sentence of Mr. George Santos.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

According to the Advocate, Trump can pardon Santos, but has not been asked about it.

The Advocate reported:

“He lied like hell, and I didn’t know him,” Trump told Newsmax host Rob Finnerty during an interview at the White House. “But he was 100 percent for Trump. I might’ve met him. Maybe, maybe not, but he was a congressman and his vote was solid.”

[…]

In the Newsmax interview, Trump seemed to question the severity of Santos’s sentence. “It sounds like a lot,” he said. “Is it seven years he just went away? It’s a long time.”

Trump went on to say that while he hadn’t been approached about pardoning Santos, the door remained open. “Nobody’s talked to me about it,” he said. “They really haven’t talked to me about [Santos]. They have talked to me about Sean [Combs], but they haven’t talked to me about [George]. But again, with him, I have the right to do it. Nobody’s asked me, but it’s interesting.”

In April, U.S. District Judge Joanna Seybert sentenced Santos to 87 months in federal prison for wire fraud and aggravated identity theft after a guilty plea in August 2024.

Those charges stemmed from fabricating donor names, laundering campaign funds, misusing donor money, and claiming unemployment while campaigning.

Santos took to social media earlier this year to criticize the ruling and pleaded with President Trump for leniency.

He wrote:

This is the hardest statement I have ever written. I write this humbled, chastened, and fully accountable for choices that shattered the faith so many placed in me.

I betrayed the confidence entrusted to me by many. For that, I offer my deepest apology.

When I pled guilty, I did so without reservation. I said then, and I repeat now, that my conduct betrayed my supporters and diminished the institution I was privileged to serve. Those words have weighed on me every day since.

I cannot rewrite the past, but I can control the road ahead. I asked the Court for a sentence that balances accountability with the chance to prove through sustained, measurable action that I can still contribute positively to the community I wronged.

I believe that 7 years is an over the top politically influenced sentence and I implore that President Trump gives me a chance to prove I’m more than the mistakes I’ve made.

Before the sentencing, Santos had slammed federal prosecutors for going easy on violent criminals while trying to make an example out of him.

“I will however remind everyone that they want me to go to prison for 87 months while they let sex traffickers walk freely, they give drug lords slaps on the wrist and most importantly refuse to prosecute the cabal of pedophiles running around in every power structure in the world including the US Government,” he wrote on X.
