    here we're happy to be here and you know
  • 00:00:18
    one of the things that I wanted to to
  • 00:00:20
    talk about today is of course our shared
  • 00:00:23
    values and you know it's it's great to
  • 00:00:25
    be back in Germany as as you heard
  • 00:00:27
    earlier I was here last year as United
  • 00:00:29
    States Senator
  • 00:00:30
    I saw uh foreign minister excuse me
  • 00:00:32
    foreign secretary David lamby and joke
  • 00:00:34
    that both of us last year had different
  • 00:00:35
    jobs than we have now but now it's time
  • 00:00:38
    uh for all of our countries for all of
  • 00:00:39
    those who have been fortunate enough to
  • 00:00:42
    be given political power by our
  • 00:00:44
    respective peoples to use it wisely to
  • 00:00:47
    improve their lives and I want to say
  • 00:00:50
    that you know I was fortunate in my time
  • 00:00:52
    here to spend some time outside the
  • 00:00:54
    walls of this conference over the last
  • 00:00:56
    24 hours and I've been so impressed by
  • 00:00:59
    the Hospitality of the people even of
  • 00:01:02
    course as they're reeling from
  • 00:01:04
    yesterday's horrendous attack and the
  • 00:01:07
    first time I was ever in Munich was with
  • 00:01:09
    was with my wife actually who's here
  • 00:01:11
    with me today um on a personal trip and
  • 00:01:13
    I've always loved the city of Munich and
  • 00:01:15
    I've always loved its people and I just
  • 00:01:17
    want to say that we're very moved and
  • 00:01:19
    our thoughts and prayers are with Munich
  • 00:01:21
    and everybody affected by the evil and
  • 00:01:24
    inflicted on this beautiful Community
  • 00:01:25
    we're thinking about you we're praying
  • 00:01:27
    for you and we will certainly be rooting
  • 00:01:30
    for you in the days and weeks to come
  • 00:01:38
    now I hope that's not the last bit of
  • 00:01:40
    Applause that I get but we We Gather at
  • 00:01:44
    at this conference of course to discuss
  • 00:01:47
    security and normally we mean threats to
  • 00:01:50
    our external security I see M many great
  • 00:01:53
    military leaders gathered here today but
  • 00:01:56
    while the Trump Administration is very
  • 00:01:59
    concerned with your European security
  • 00:02:01
    and believes that we can come to a
  • 00:02:03
    reasonable settlement between Russia and
  • 00:02:06
    Ukraine and we also believe that it's
  • 00:02:08
    important in the coming years for Europe
  • 00:02:10
    to step up in a big way to provide for
  • 00:02:12
    its own defense the threat that I worry
  • 00:02:15
    the most about vvv Europe is not Russia
  • 00:02:19
    it's not China it's not any other
  • 00:02:21
    external actor and what I worry about is
  • 00:02:24
    the threat from within the retreat of
  • 00:02:28
    Europe from some of its most most
  • 00:02:30
    fundamental values values shared with
  • 00:02:32
    the United States of America now I was
  • 00:02:35
    struck that a former European
  • 00:02:36
    commissioner went on television recently
  • 00:02:39
    and sounded delighted that the Romanian
  • 00:02:42
    government had just annuled an entire
  • 00:02:45
    election he warned that if things don't
  • 00:02:48
    go to plan the very same thing could
  • 00:02:51
    happen in Germany
  • 00:02:52
    too now these Cavalier statements are
  • 00:02:55
    shocking to American ears for years
  • 00:02:58
    we've been told that that everything we
  • 00:03:00
    fund and support is in the name of our
  • 00:03:03
    shared Democratic Values everything from
  • 00:03:06
    our Ukraine policy to digital censorship
  • 00:03:10
    is build as a defense of
  • 00:03:13
    democracy but when we see European
  • 00:03:16
    courts cancelling elections and Senior
  • 00:03:18
    officials threatening to cancel others
  • 00:03:21
    we ought to ask whether we're holding
  • 00:03:23
    ourselves to an appropriately high
  • 00:03:25
    standard and I say ourselves because I
  • 00:03:28
    fundamentally believe that we are on the
  • 00:03:29
    same same team we must do more than talk
  • 00:03:32
    about Democratic Values we must live
  • 00:03:35
    them now within living memory of many of
  • 00:03:38
    you in this room the Cold War positioned
  • 00:03:41
    Defenders of democracy against much more
  • 00:03:44
    tyrannical forces on this continent and
  • 00:03:47
    consider the side in that fight that
  • 00:03:50
    censored dissidents that closed churches
  • 00:03:54
    that cancelled elections were they the
  • 00:03:57
    good guys certainly not and thank God
  • 00:04:00
    they lost the Cold War they lost because
  • 00:04:03
    they neither valued nor respected all of
  • 00:04:06
    the extraordinary blessings of liberty
  • 00:04:08
    the freedom to surprise to make mistakes
  • 00:04:12
    to invent to build as it turns out you
  • 00:04:15
    can't mandate Innovation or creativity
  • 00:04:19
    just as you can't force people what to
  • 00:04:21
    think what to feel or what to believe
  • 00:04:23
    and we believe those things are
  • 00:04:25
    certainly connected and unfortunately
  • 00:04:28
    when I look at Europe today it's
  • 00:04:30
    sometimes not so clear what happened to
  • 00:04:33
    some of the cold Wars winners I Look to
  • 00:04:36
    Brussels where EU commiss commissars
  • 00:04:39
    warned citizens that they intend to shut
  • 00:04:41
    down social media during times of civil
  • 00:04:44
    unrest the moment they spot what they've
  • 00:04:46
    judged to be quote hateful content or to
  • 00:04:51
    this very country where police have
  • 00:04:53
    carried out raids against citizens
  • 00:04:55
    suspected of posting anti-feminist
  • 00:04:57
    comments online as part of quote
  • 00:05:00
    combating misogyny on the internet a day
  • 00:05:03
    of
  • 00:05:04
    action I Look to Sweden where two weeks
  • 00:05:06
    ago the government convicted a Christian
  • 00:05:08
    activist for participating in Quan
  • 00:05:11
    burnings that resulted in his friend's
  • 00:05:14
    murder and as the judge in his case
  • 00:05:17
    chillingly noted Sweden's laws to
  • 00:05:20
    supposedly Protect free expression do
  • 00:05:23
    not in fact Grant and I'm quoting a free
  • 00:05:26
    pass to do or say anything without
  • 00:05:30
    risking offending the group that holds
  • 00:05:32
    that
  • 00:05:33
    belief and perhaps most concerningly I
  • 00:05:36
    Look to our very dear friends the United
  • 00:05:38
    Kingdom where the backslide away from
  • 00:05:40
    conscience rights has placed the basic
  • 00:05:42
    Liberties of religious Britain in
  • 00:05:44
    particular in the
  • 00:05:46
    crosshairs a little over two years ago
  • 00:05:48
    the British government charged Adam
  • 00:05:50
    Smith Connor a 51-year-old
  • 00:05:52
    physiotherapist and an army veteran with
  • 00:05:55
    the heinous crime of standing 50 m
  • 00:06:00
    from an abortion clinic and silently
  • 00:06:02
    praying for 3 minutes not obstructing
  • 00:06:05
    anyone not interacting with anyone just
  • 00:06:08
    silently praying on his own and after
  • 00:06:11
    British law enforcement spotted him and
  • 00:06:13
    demanded to know what he was praying for
  • 00:06:16
    Adam replied simply it was on behalf of
  • 00:06:18
    The Unborn son he and his former
  • 00:06:21
    girlfriend had aborted years
  • 00:06:23
    before now the officers were not moved
  • 00:06:26
    Adam was found guilty of breaking the
  • 00:06:29
    government's new buffer zones law which
  • 00:06:31
    criminalizes silent prayer and other
  • 00:06:33
    actions that could influence a person's
  • 00:06:35
    decision within 200 MERS of an abortion
  • 00:06:38
    facility he was sentenced to pay
  • 00:06:40
    thousands of pounds in legal costs to
  • 00:06:42
    the
  • 00:06:43
    prosecution now I wish I could say that
  • 00:06:45
    this was a fluke a one-off crazy example
  • 00:06:48
    of a badly written law being enacted
  • 00:06:51
    against a single person but no this last
  • 00:06:54
    October just a few months ago the
  • 00:06:56
    Scottish government began Distributing
  • 00:06:57
    letters to Citizens whose houses lay
  • 00:07:00
    within so-called safe access zones
  • 00:07:03
    warning them that even private prayer
  • 00:07:05
    within their own homes May amount to
  • 00:07:08
    Breaking the
  • 00:07:09
    Law naturally the government urged
  • 00:07:12
    readers to report any fellow citizen
  • 00:07:14
    suspected guilty of thought crime in
  • 00:07:17
    Britain and across Europe free speech I
  • 00:07:20
    fear is in
  • 00:07:22
    Retreat and in the interest of Comedy my
  • 00:07:25
    friends but also in the interest of
  • 00:07:26
    truth I will admit that sometimes the
  • 00:07:29
    the loudest voices for censorship have
  • 00:07:32
    come not from within Europe but from
  • 00:07:34
    within my own country where the prior
  • 00:07:36
    Administration threatened and bullied
  • 00:07:38
    social media companies to censor
  • 00:07:40
    so-called
  • 00:07:42
    misinformation misinformation like for
  • 00:07:44
    example the idea that Corona virus had
  • 00:07:47
    likely leaked from leaked from a
  • 00:07:49
    laboratory in China our own government
  • 00:07:52
    encouraged private companies to silence
  • 00:07:55
    people who dared to utter what turned
  • 00:07:57
    out to be an obvious truth
  • 00:08:00
    so I come here today not just with an
  • 00:08:02
    observation but with an offer and just
  • 00:08:05
    as the B Administration seemed desperate
  • 00:08:07
    to silence people for speaking their
  • 00:08:09
    minds so the Trump Administration will
  • 00:08:12
    do precisely the opposite and I hope
  • 00:08:15
    that we can work together on that in
  • 00:08:17
    Washington there is a new sheriff in
  • 00:08:19
    town and under Donald Trump's leadership
  • 00:08:22
    we may disagree with your views but we
  • 00:08:24
    will fight to defend your right to offer
  • 00:08:26
    it in the Public Square agree or
  • 00:08:29
    disagree
  • 00:08:31
    [Applause]
  • 00:08:36
    now we're at the point of course that
  • 00:08:38
    the the situation has gotten so bad that
  • 00:08:40
    this December R Romania straight up
  • 00:08:43
    canceled the results of a presidential
  • 00:08:45
    election based on the flimsy suspicions
  • 00:08:48
    of an intelligence agency and enormous
  • 00:08:51
    pressure from its Continental neighbors
  • 00:08:53
    now as I understand it the argument was
  • 00:08:56
    that Russian disinformation had infected
  • 00:08:59
    the Romanian elections but I'd ask my
  • 00:09:02
    European friends to have some
  • 00:09:05
    perspective you can believe it's wrong
  • 00:09:08
    for Russia to buy social media
  • 00:09:09
    advertisements to influence your
  • 00:09:11
    elections we certainly do you can
  • 00:09:13
    condemn it on the world stage even but
  • 00:09:16
    if your democracy can be destroyed with
  • 00:09:18
    a few hundred th000 of digital
  • 00:09:20
    advertising from a foreign country then
  • 00:09:22
    it wasn't very strong to begin with
  • 00:09:29
    now the good news is that I happen to
  • 00:09:31
    think your democracies are substantially
  • 00:09:33
    less brittle than many people apparently
  • 00:09:36
    fear and I really do believe that
  • 00:09:38
    allowing our citizens to speak their
  • 00:09:40
    mind will make them stronger still which
  • 00:09:44
    of course brings us back to Munich where
  • 00:09:47
    the organizers of this very conference
  • 00:09:49
    have banned lawmakers representing
  • 00:09:51
    populist parties on both the left and
  • 00:09:53
    the right from participating in these
  • 00:09:55
    conversations now again we don't have to
  • 00:09:58
    agree with everything or anything that
  • 00:10:01
    people say but when people represent
  • 00:10:04
    when political leaders represent an
  • 00:10:06
    important constituency it is incumbent
  • 00:10:09
    upon us to at least participate in
  • 00:10:12
    dialogue with them now to many of us on
  • 00:10:15
    the other side of the Atlantic it looks
  • 00:10:16
    more and more like old entrenched
  • 00:10:19
    interests hiding behind ugly Soviet era
  • 00:10:22
    words like misinformation and
  • 00:10:24
    disinformation who simply don't like the
  • 00:10:27
    idea that somebody with an alternative
  • 00:10:29
    Viewpoint might Express a different
  • 00:10:31
    opinion or God forbid vote a different
  • 00:10:34
    way or even worse win an
  • 00:10:39
    election now this is a security
  • 00:10:41
    conference and I'm sure you all came
  • 00:10:42
    here prepared to talk about how exactly
  • 00:10:45
    you ATT tend to increase defense
  • 00:10:47
    spending over the next few years in line
  • 00:10:49
    with some new Target and that's great
  • 00:10:52
    because as president Trump has made
  • 00:10:54
    abundantly clear he believes that our
  • 00:10:56
    European friends must play a bigger role
  • 00:10:59
    in the future of this continent we don't
  • 00:11:02
    think you hear this term burden sharing
  • 00:11:05
    but we think it's an important part of
  • 00:11:06
    being in a shared Alliance together that
  • 00:11:08
    the Europeans step up while America
  • 00:11:11
    focuses on areas of the world that are
  • 00:11:13
    in great danger but let me also ask you
  • 00:11:17
    how will you even begin to think through
  • 00:11:19
    the kinds of budgeting questions if we
  • 00:11:22
    don't know what it is that we are
  • 00:11:24
    defending in the first place I've heard
  • 00:11:27
    a lot already in my conversations and
  • 00:11:30
    I've had many many great conversations
  • 00:11:32
    with many people gathered here in this
  • 00:11:33
    room I've heard a lot about what you
  • 00:11:36
    need to defend yourselves from and of
  • 00:11:38
    course that's important but what has
  • 00:11:40
    seemed a little bit less clear to me and
  • 00:11:43
    certainly I think to many of the
  • 00:11:44
    citizens of Europe is what exactly it is
  • 00:11:47
    that you're defending yourselves for
  • 00:11:50
    what is the positive Vision that
  • 00:11:52
    animates this shared security compact
  • 00:11:55
    that we all believe is so important and
  • 00:11:58
    I believe deeply that there is no
  • 00:12:01
    security if you are afraid of the voices
  • 00:12:04
    the opinions and the conscience that

    guide your very own people Europe faces
  • 00:12:11
    many challenges but the crisis this
  • 00:12:13
    continent faces right now the crisis I
  • 00:12:16
    believe we all face together is one of
  • 00:12:19
    our own
  • 00:12:21
    making if you're running in fear of your
  • 00:12:23
    own voters there is nothing America can
  • 00:12:26
    do for you nor for that matter is is
  • 00:12:29
    there anything that you can do for the
  • 00:12:30
    American people who elected me and
  • 00:12:33
    elected president Trump you need
  • 00:12:36
    Democratic mandates to accomplish
  • 00:12:38
    anything of value in the coming years
  • 00:12:40
    have we learned nothing that thin
  • 00:12:42
    mandates produce unstable results but
  • 00:12:46
    there is so much of value that can be
  • 00:12:48
    accomplished with the kind of democratic
  • 00:12:51
    mandate that I think will come from
  • 00:12:53
    being more responsive to the voices of
  • 00:12:55
    your citizens if you're going to enjoy
  • 00:12:58
    competitive economies
  • 00:12:59
    if you're going to enjoy affordable
  • 00:13:01
    energy and secure Supply
  • 00:13:04
    chains then you need mandates to govern
  • 00:13:08
    because you have to make difficult
  • 00:13:09
    choices to enjoy all of these things and
  • 00:13:11
    of course we know that very well in
  • 00:13:13
    America you cannot win a democratic
  • 00:13:15
    mandate by censoring your opponents or
  • 00:13:17
    putting them in jail whether that's the
  • 00:13:20
    leader of the opposition a humble
  • 00:13:22
    Christian praying in her own home or a
  • 00:13:24
    journalist trying to report the
  • 00:13:27
    news nor can you win one by disregarding
  • 00:13:29
    your basic electorate on questions like
  • 00:13:32
    who gets to be a part of our shared
  • 00:13:35
    society and of all the pressings
  • 00:13:37
    challenges that the Nations represented
  • 00:13:39
    here face I believe there is nothing
  • 00:13:42
    more
  • 00:13:43
    urgent than Mass
  • 00:13:45
    migration today almost one in5 people
  • 00:13:49
    living in this country moved here from
  • 00:13:51
    abroad that is of course an all-time
  • 00:13:52
    high it's a similar number by the way in
  • 00:13:54
    the United States also an all-time high
  • 00:13:57
    the number of immigrants who entered the
  • 00:13:59
    EU from non-eu countries doubled between
  • 00:14:02
    2021 and 2022 alone and of course it's
  • 00:14:06
    gotten much higher sense and we know
  • 00:14:08
    this situation it didn't materialize in
  • 00:14:11
    a vacuum it's the result of a series of
  • 00:14:14
    conscious decisions made by politicians
  • 00:14:18
    all over the continent and others across
  • 00:14:20
    the world over the span of a
  • 00:14:23
    decade we saw the horrors wrought by
  • 00:14:26
    these decisions yesterday in this very
  • 00:14:28
    City
  • 00:14:30
    and of course I can't bring it up again
  • 00:14:32
    without thinking about the terrible
  • 00:14:35
    victims who had a a beautiful winter day
  • 00:14:37
    in Munich ruined our thoughts and
  • 00:14:40
    prayers are with them and will remain
  • 00:14:42
    with them but why did this happen in the
  • 00:14:44
    first place it's a terrible story but
  • 00:14:47
    it's one we've heard way too many times
  • 00:14:49
    in Europe and unfortunately too many
  • 00:14:51
    times in the United States as well an
  • 00:14:54
    asylum Seeker often a young man in his
  • 00:14:57
    mid-20s already known to police Rams a
  • 00:15:00
    car into a crowd and shatters a
  • 00:15:03
    community how many times must we suffer
  • 00:15:06
    these appalling setbacks before we
  • 00:15:09
    change course and take our shared
  • 00:15:12
    civilization in a New
  • 00:15:14
    Direction no voter on this continent
  • 00:15:17
    went to The Ballot Box to open the
  • 00:15:19
    floodgates to millions of unvetted
  • 00:15:22
    immigrants but you know what they did
  • 00:15:24
    vote for in England they voted for
  • 00:15:26
    brexit and agree or disagree they voted
  • 00:15:29
    for it and more and more all over Europe
  • 00:15:32
    they're voting for political leaders who
  • 00:15:33
    promise to put an end to outof control
  • 00:15:36
    migration now I happen to agree with a
  • 00:15:39
    lot of these concerns but you don't have
  • 00:15:40
    to agree with me I just think that
  • 00:15:42
    people care about their homes they care
  • 00:15:46
    about their dreams they care about their
  • 00:15:47
    safety and their capacity to provide for
  • 00:15:50
    themselves and their children and
  • 00:15:53
    they're smart I think this is one of the
  • 00:15:55
    most important things I've learned in my
  • 00:15:57
    brief time in politics contrary to what
  • 00:16:00
    you might hear a couple mountains over
  • 00:16:02
    in Davos the citizens of all of our
  • 00:16:04
    Nations don't generally think of
  • 00:16:06
    themselves as educated animals or as
  • 00:16:09
    interchangeable cogs of a global economy
  • 00:16:12
    and it's hardly surprising that they
  • 00:16:14
    don't want to be shuffled about or
  • 00:16:16
    relentlessly ignored by their leaders
  • 00:16:19
    and it is the business of democracy to
  • 00:16:22
    adjudicate these big questions at The
  • 00:16:23
    Ballot Box I believe that dismissing
  • 00:16:27
    people dismissing their concerns
  • 00:16:29
    or worse yet shutting down media
  • 00:16:31
    shutting down elections or shutting PE
  • 00:16:34
    people out of the political process
  • 00:16:37
    protects nothing in fact it is the most
  • 00:16:40
    Surefire way to destroy
  • 00:16:43
    democracy and speaking up and expressing
  • 00:16:46
    opinions isn't election interference
  • 00:16:49
    even when people Express views outside
  • 00:16:51
    your own country and even when those
  • 00:16:54
    people are very
  • 00:16:55
    influential and trust me I say this with
  • 00:16:58
    all humor if American democracy can
  • 00:17:00
    survive 10 years of Greta thunberg's
  • 00:17:03
    scolding you guys can survive a few
  • 00:17:05
    months of Elon
  • 00:17:07
    Musk but what German
  • 00:17:10
    democracy what no democracy American
  • 00:17:13
    German or european Will Survive is
  • 00:17:16
    telling millions of Voters that their
  • 00:17:17
    thoughts and concerns their aspirations
  • 00:17:20
    their pleas for Relief are invalid or
  • 00:17:23
    Unworthy of even being
  • 00:17:26
    considered democracy rests on the sacred
  • 00:17:29
    principle that the voice of the people
  • 00:17:32
    matters there's no room for firewalls
  • 00:17:36
    you either uphold the principle or you
  • 00:17:39
    don't Europeans the people have a voice
  • 00:17:44
    European leaders have a choice and my
  • 00:17:47
    strong belief is that we do not need to
  • 00:17:50
    be afraid of the future you can Embrace
  • 00:17:53
    what your people tell you even when it's
  • 00:17:56
    surprising even when you don't agree
  • 00:17:59
    and if you do so you can face the future
  • 00:18:01
    with certainty and with confidence
  • 00:18:03
    knowing that the nation stands behind
  • 00:18:05
    each of you and that to me is the great
  • 00:18:08
    magic of democracy it's not in these
  • 00:18:11
    Stone buildings or beautiful hotels it's
  • 00:18:14
    not even in the great institutions that
  • 00:18:15
    we have built together as a shared
  • 00:18:18
    Society to believe in democracy is to
  • 00:18:22
    understand that each of our citizens has
  • 00:18:25
    wisdom and has a voice and if we refuse
  • 00:18:28
    to listen to that voice even our most
  • 00:18:31
    successful fights will secure very
  • 00:18:34
    little as Pope John Paul II in my view
  • 00:18:38
    one of the most extraordinary champions
  • 00:18:39
    of democracy on this continent or any
  • 00:18:42
    other once said do not be afraid we
  • 00:18:46
    shouldn't be afraid of our people even
  • 00:18:49
    when they express views that disagree
  • 00:18:51
    with their leadership thank you all good
  • 00:18:54
    luck to all of you God bless you
  • 00:18:58
    let me conclude and this becomes
  • 00:19:01
    difficult
  • 00:19:03
    [Music]
  • 00:19:08
    [Applause]
  • 00:19:09
    [Music]
  • 00:19:29
    oh
