The Dr. Hotze Report: Dr. Steve Hotze and Andy Schlafly discuss GOVERNMENT CENSORSHIP – Brighteon.TV

11/08/2023 / By Kevin Hughes

Dr. Steve Hotze and his guest, lawyer Andy Schlafly, touched on government censorship during the Oct. 30 episode of “The Dr. Hotze Report” on Brighteon.TV.

Hotze began by citing the First Amendment, which covers four different freedoms – freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly and freedom to petition the government. These four freedoms aren’t given to the American people by the government, but are inherent and unalienable. Thus, these must be protected by the government instead of being suppressed.

Schlafly agreed, noting that freedom of speech is the oxygen by which the American Republic can operate and maintain other freedoms.

“If we lose freedom of speech then we’re going to lose all our other freedoms and liberties,” he told Hotze. “We’re going to lose our ability to own our property and do things on our own property. We’re going to lose the ability to have free elections, and this is so timely right now.”

Schlafly also stressed that the First Amendment applied to freedom of speech because the American people did not want a government that go in and censor what they say. “When it comes to free speech rights, [the] government should not be weaponized,” he said.

Hotze, meanwhile, remarked that the censorship and abridgement of free speech occurred during the height of the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) “plandemic” and the end of the 2020 elections. Schlafly concurred, noting that the Biden administration prohibited criticizing or speaking out against the government – especially on pandemic-related issues such as lockdowns and vaccination.

Hotze and Schlafly also discuss Missouri v. Biden free speech lawsuit

Elsewhere in the show, Hotze asked his guest to touch on the Missouri v. Biden lawsuit filed back in May 2022. According to Schlafly, the Supreme Court has taken the case – with the oral argument for it to be scheduled. He explained that the case concerns the way the Biden administration has been issuing orders to social media firms as to what to censor.

The lawyer, who also founded Conservapedia in November 2006, noted that the government has been dictating to social media platforms what to permit and what to ban. These include topics such as election integrity and COVID-19, among others.

According to Hotze, the government has worked in concert with private companies in what he calls a private-government relationship where the government coerces, influences and persuades private companies not to do business with people that didn’t follow the government. He stressed: “The government was using a private organization to infringe upon our God-given right of free speech, and the government can’t do that.”

The Brighteon.TV host said truth-tellers are putting out true information to fight the government’s disinformation and to oppose the narrative being discussed in the media. He even mentioned that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has even sued Facebook and Google for violating free speech rights.

Hotze cited doctors like Dr. Peter McCullough, Dr. Pierre Kory, the late Dr. Vladimir Zelenko, Dr. Sherri Tenpenny and hundreds of physicians across America who discovered early treatment protocols for COVID-19 that worked effectively for their patients but were blocked and censored because the government did not want the solution to come out.
