Fake Mass Grave Scandal 00:02:27
Hey everybody, Andrew Colvett, executive producer of the Charlie Kirk Show, filling in one last time for Charlie Kirk.
This is an Ask Me Anything with producer Blake Neff joining me.
We take your questions, including the DOJ's investigation over Tesla and the secret glass house project.
We talk about the trending hashtag ban the ADL.
Is it a good idea?
Is it a bad idea?
What's behind it?
And what the heck is the ADL even doing these days?
We break it all down.
We bring receipts.
We talk about Oliver Anthony.
Is he a traitor to conservatives or is he just a Rogan, bro?
And then we break down the intriguing race hoax out of Canada.
Mass graves?
I think not.
We have the details and a really tragic story for Canada, which is just, you know, what can I say about Canada?
That and so much more.
Buckle up.
Here we go.
Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.
I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
I want to thank Charlie.
He's an incredible guy.
His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.
Turning point USA.
We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
That's why we are here.
Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.
I'm going to welcome back Blake Neff, our resident foil contrarian editorial producer of the Charlie Kirk Show.
Blake, welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show.
You're trapped with me for the next 60 minutes, Andrew.
I know.
That's what our audience is saying in the chat right now, too, by the way, Blake.
No, Blake is fantastic.
One of the smartest guys that we have around.
One of the smartest political minds, too.
So here's, you know, the way this works, you guys send questions into freedom at charliekirk.com.
We take your questions.
We answer them.
Normally it's Charlie, but now you got Blake and Andrew.
So our first question, Blake, and I know this is near and dear to your heart because we were tweeting and texting about it, rather texting about it.
Andrew, I just saw a news story in the Daily Mail about a fake mass grave at a Christian school in Canada.
I vaguely recall a lot of news coverage of these mass graves two years ago.
Canada's Anti-Christian Narrative 00:07:41
I think the Pope even traveled to Canada to apologize.
What's the deal?
And that is Clive from New London, Connecticut.
Clive, great question.
This was a story breaking this morning.
Very interesting stuff.
Blake, why don't you fill the audience in on sort of the backstory and then we'll riff.
Yeah, Andrew, it's a great story.
And maybe the audience will like me more because we get to talk about an important topic in American life, which is that Canada sucks.
And one of the problems with Canada is they really have this national identity that they've embraced over the last few decades.
That what does it mean to be Canadian?
It means to be like America, but more liberal, more liberal in every way.
And they've been really out of sorts, especially since this George Floyd thing blew up.
They're like, we don't, you know, we didn't really have slavery.
We didn't have this like great historic crime.
They kind of have this Me Too idea that they need to have a reason that they are also Hitler, that they need to be really ashamed of their history.
And what they really fixated on was they fixated on these residential schools, which is America had these two.
Obviously, they have American Indians in Canada or as First Nations, as they call them.
And to sort of try to westernize them, Christianize them, make them sort of more culturally European, they ran these boarding schools or residential schools as they called them and educated American First Nations children there for like about a century.
And these schools had issues with them, as you'd expect.
They're often in the middle of nowhere.
They were often unsanitary.
There was, you know, physical and sexual abuse would occur at them, as has occurred at, you know, in every society and in schools all around the world.
But Canada really fixated on this.
And then about two years ago, there was this explosion, this bizarre story, where they started, these kind of amateur investigators were finding they claimed to be finding mysterious possible mass graves at these various residential schools throughout Canada.
And this fueled this insane conspiracy theory that people, that children had been murdered en masse at these schools and then buried in mass graves and it was all covered up.
And instead of debunking this, the government leaned in on it.
And there were dozens of churches in Canada in response to this were attacked with arson attacks, vandalism.
Some were burned to the ground completely.
Like, I have the numbers: 83 that were burned or vandalized.
And if you could throw up that other graphic from Unheard, 83 churches were burned or vandalized in the aftermath of this fabricated hoax.
And this, this, I mean, this is an interesting graphic when they put it up.
It says, why the Canadian left is burning down churches while progressives tweeted churches serving indigenous communities burned 83.
I mean, that's a shockingly high number.
It's a huge number.
And it really was.
It's like there are, yes, there are anti-Christian people in the First Nations community, but a lot of this is really similar to how you'd see it in the US, where you have these very radical activists, often just like white activists in big cities.
And then, like, what are the actual beliefs of the First Nations themselves?
Well, a lot of them actually just are Christians because, you know, the residential schools succeeded in a lot of their mission.
And then they get these churches, which, you know, they might only have one church for tens of miles.
Canada's not a very densely populated place.
And these places are getting torched and attacked.
And Justin Trudeau's government sort of said, like, oh, well, we oppose, we oppose these attacks, but it's very understandable that people are angry.
They got the Pope to show up and apologize.
The question was correct about that.
But now, two years later, they're following up and they're actually, okay, well, you claim there were mass graves.
Let's dig them up.
Let's go find it.
And they're either discovering, one, often they're just not, they're just normal cemeteries and maybe like the headstones, you know, the headstones are made of wood and they decayed.
Or there's just nothing there at all is this story that there was no bodies in this alleged mass grave.
They literally had a massive meltdown, which resulted in an anti-Christian spasm of arson and violence that the government enabled.
And it was all based on a lie.
And it was a lie to fulfill this like BDSM type motive that the left has, where they like, they crave this abasement.
They crave the ability to be like to wail wildly about how evil their ancestors were.
And so, again, it was like, it was like Me Too George Floydism.
They're like, we want to also be evil.
We want to also be really racist in our history.
We want to say Canada is evil.
And so they just inserted this really grave crime into their history that did not happen.
Yeah, I mean, I think it's pretty tragic because we've seen this too.
And we actually have a video of this, I believe.
Let's go ahead and play some of the fallout.
As a result of this, not only were they burning down churches, they were tearing down statues, a movement that we saw happen in the United States as well.
Let's go ahead and play Cut 199.
No pride in genocide.
So here you have a bunch of petulant little children, also known as leftists, dancing on the foundation of a toppled statue saying no pride in genocide.
Meanwhile, they are.
Yeah, go ahead.
It's a statue of Queen Victoria, which Queen Victoria did not really personally preside.
I mean, she was a constitutional monarch.
She's really just a symbol of the British Empire at its apex, but she was not running a genocide.
She was just the queen of Britain.
But again, they're like, well, America, their entire identity is so bound up with America.
They're like, well, America's toppling Confederate statues.
We don't have any Confederates because we weren't in the American Civil War.
So who do we get?
Get rid of the Queen.
Well, and the self-hatred that the left has for their own history, colonialism, patriarchy, whatever, it's really this insidious virus that has crept into the West.
We call it a collective psychosis in the Western world.
It hates anything strong.
It hates anything exceptional.
It hates anything that can dominate something else.
So if you have enough power to dominate, whether it be indigenous populations in this instance or become a global hegemon, this is why you don't see the left, especially our leaders in Washington, fight back with any gusto against the de-dollarization movement that's happening.
It's almost like they want to self-flagellate to the point of parity with the rest of the world, if not us getting dominated by them.
And it's a very distinct characteristic of the left.
I believe the Unibomber actually had some interesting quotes about this.
Blake, maybe we can bust those out for next segment.
But what do you think?
And we've only got a minute in this segment.
What do you think drives this passionate response on the left?
You know, if I had a full easy answer to that question, I think it'd be easier to defeat this because it really is, it is a profound force.
You know, yeah, the Unabomber thing, he points out that they do, they hate the West, but not because of any of the bad things they've done.
Fact Checking Rogan Claims 00:08:31
They specifically, it is because they've been so successful.
And in a weird way, we're our victims of our own success, which is, you know, the West kind of flagellates itself over slavery because we had the innovation of deciding that slavery was morally wrong and abolishing it purely on moral humanitarian grounds.
That was an innovation of the West that we have exported to the rest of the world.
And our reward for ourselves is to destroy ourselves over this, or in Canada's case, to go the extra mile and invent crimes that did not happen because we are so desperate.
Strong cell is amazing.
I got to tell you, the combination of NADH, CoQ10, and collagen is really something.
You know, people ask me, they say, Charlie, how do you keep your energy up?
How do you just keep on pushing?
Look, part of it is diet nutrition, but I'll be honest, I take supplements really seriously.
Fact check me on this.
You can say, oh, Charlie, I'm going to fact-check you.
Type this into your search engine.
Maybe it's Google, maybe not.
NADH.
Just type it in.
What does it tell you?
It might tell you that it is the secret to living long, anti-aging properties, more energy.
Well, all of that is being proven in more and more clinical trials.
NADH is a precursor so that your mitochondria can remain healthy and vibrant.
The elites, a lot of billionaires, people, a lot of money, they spend a ton of money on NAD.
It's a fact.
NAD just might be your secret weapon for more energy.
I take NAD every single day.
I could tell you that NADH compared with CoQ10, the trials show very, very good things on it.
Don't take my word for it.
But I mean, honestly, my word should be good for something.
But fact-check me.
Look at it.
And if you do it over 30 days, you'll see an increase in energy.
Wake up better than ever before.
NAD can help you potentially, again, fact-check me on this with depression, anxiety, other issues that you might be dealing with.
It is nature's gift to you so that you might have extra energy and mental clarity.

And let me know: has NAD helped your life?

We've got another one here.
It says, So, apparently, Oliver Anthony is trying to distance himself from conservatives.
I'm so mad right now for ever supporting him, or should we still?
Question mark.
I love his songs, but I'm majorly upset right now.
Another traitor, Beth, mother of three from Mesa, Arizona.
So, if you're not caught up in this story, we actually hit it on Thought Crimes as well, which we'll be putting on the podcast over on Saturday.
So, let's go ahead and play 67, catch y'all up.
It's aggravating seeing people on conservative news try to identify with me like I'm one of them.
It's aggravating seeing certain musicians and politicians act like we're buddies and act like we're fighting the same struggle here, like that we're trying to present the same message.
You know, like it was funny seeing my song in the it was fun, it was funny seeing it, the presidential debate because it's like I wrote that song about those people, you know.
So, for them to have to sit there and listen to that, uh, that cracks me up.
Uh, but it was funny kind of seeing the response to it.
Like, that song has nothing to do with Joe Biden, you know, it's a lot bigger than Joe Biden.
All right, I, the Blake, you're not a huge fan of country, I don't believe, right?
I think I'm the president.
I have, in fact, avoided hearing this song so far, so I have no comment on the aesthetic merits or likely lack thereof.
We need to bring it up and force you.
Yeah, we're gonna force you to listen to part of it.
Uh, you know, no, you won't just because I will take off, I will take off these headphones and I will cover my ears.
I shall so, okay, we talked about this on Thought Crime this week, and um, my take on it was that he's just sort of like, you know, I think it's an indictment of the conservative cultural movement, right?
We don't have enough sticking power for a guy like this to look at his plays in front of him and say, Hey, I want to go, I'm going to stick with the guys who got me here, the people that made me famous, that blew me up, because you know, there's enough love, there's enough money, there's enough opportunity in this circle to be worth my while.
He's looking at it like, I just blew up.
I need to essentially give myself the greatest opportunity.
So, I'm gonna, I'm gonna try and be this squishy middle, somewhere middle-of-the-road guy.
And I called it right then.
I said, He is, he's like a Rogan guy.
That's what he, yeah, that's what he wants to be.
He wants to be Joe Rogan, he wants to be kind of in the middle.
Like, what does he do?
What does he believe?
Who is he for?
So, he's just being really ambiguous on purpose.
And lo and behold, Oliver Anthony goes on Joe Rogan.
Now, I will say it's a rather charming clip, and I'm going to play it for the audience here.
Um, 197, he goes on Joe Rogan and reads the Bible, although he Proverbs 4:20, I guess, in honor of Joe Rogan.
But, anyways, let's go ahead and play it.
197.
Ironically, it's Proverbs 4:20, which I thought you were like.
So, if there's anything better, perfect.
Preach, my son, pay attention to what I say.
Turn your ear to my words.
Do not let them out of your sight.
Keep them within your heart.
For they are life to those who find them and health to one's whole body.
Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.
Keep your mouth free from perversity.
Keep corrupt talk far from your lips.
Let your eyes look straight ahead.
Fix your gaze directly before you.
Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways.
Do not turn to the right or the left.
Keep your foot from evil.
But that's pretty fucking profound.
But the whole book of Proverbs is like that.
Like, it's not preachy.
It's not what you think.
Like, it's like it's good guidance.
It's like good guidance that you would want a father to give to his son.
So, Blake, in there, he says, do not turn to the left or the right.
I think he was sending a message saying he's not going to be owned by anyone.
Does this annoy you?
Are you as upset about this?
Is he a traitor?
What's the story?
I mean, I'm not all over Anthony.
I don't know what his real beliefs are, whether he's changed them.
So I prefer to look at the right, which is, I do think it somewhat indicts us both in the sense that we fixated on this guy so quickly.
Like we sort of crave the idea of like, oh, this new upstart celebrity, he really is with us.
He's on our side.
And we do this a lot.
We'll very much like anytime a Hollywood celebrity says something, you know, mildly in our favor, even if they've otherwise been liberal for ages, we get really into it.
I think that kind of drives like the RFK Junior enthusiasm lately.
I mean, he's otherwise a liberal on all of these issues, but he's aligned with us on this one thing.
And he's like, you know, he's a famous name.
He's got a famous father and a famous uncle among the Democrats.
And so we're like, oh, RFK Jr., we love this guy now.
And I think we have a bad habit of falling into this over and over again.
And I think if we had a little higher self-esteem, you know, we could then just enjoy the song on its own merits because you could also just say, I love this song, Death of the Author.
I don't care what he actually thinks because I like the song.
I agree with you.
And I also think that it's okay to be annoyed with this because he's choosing this sort of like both sides are bad thing.
And yes, both sides have their weaknesses, but there's one side that's gone completely back.
All right.
Do you get the feeling that something bad is going to happen soon?
Well, I do.
But between the distractions and smokescreens in the media, we probably won't see it coming.

Next question here.
Andrew, ban the ADL is going viral on Twitter because the ADL's head, Jonathan Greenblatt, had a meeting with Elon Musk's new Twitter CEO.
Do you think we should ban the ADL?
Dan from Sacramento.
Admittedly, I'm getting caught up on this story.
First instinct, totally fine with it.
Totally fine with it.
I think you know more, Blake.
Go ahead and fill us in.
I mean, I definitely the same impulse here.
Like, okay, so to be clear, I support that.
I actually support the First Amendment.
Think America should have basically absolute free speech.
You should be able to say essentially anything.
But let's be clear: whether we should ban the ADL or not, the ADL definitely wants to ban you, both you, Andrew, and everyone listening to this.
I think it's worth it, it's interesting to think.
So, our friend Donald Trump, he's being persecuted by Jack Smith right now.
One of the charges against him is under the Ku Klux Klan Act.
The claim is he engaged in conspiracy against rights with his election dispute in 2020.
Similarly, Douglas Mackey, the pro-Trump tweeter from 2016, he was convicted in a sham trial for conspiracy against rights because supposedly he was making memes that violated the right to vote.
Well, okay, so apparently we have the crime of conspiracy against rights, and it's not just violence, it's just like advocacy or memes or tweets.
Well, who in America engages in a conspiracy against rights right now, if not the ADL?
The ADL goes to the federal government, the ADL goes to Twitter, they pressure people to ramp up censorship, they pressure people to deplatform others, they pressure financial institutions to de-bank people, and they do all these things like to in order to suppress authentic freedom of speech.
They basically engage in a conspiracy, a public conspiracy, but a conspiracy, nevertheless, against your freedom of speech.
And in some cases, even due process.
So they have their sister, I don't want to say sister organization, they're not affiliated, but the SPLC, a very similar organization on the left, during the Mackie trial, they engaged in essentially witness tampering because they basically planned to dox one of the expert witnesses on Mackie's behalf and caused him to, I believe, not testify in the trial.
So they basically harassed an expert witness to cause someone to not be able to get a fair trial.
That seems like a conspiratorial act.
Well, and to me, the ADL has basically been irrelevant for a while, but I understand that they still have relevance, much like the SPLC and some of these other legacy civil rights organizations that have become modern hate groups.
The key point, I think, here is how the federal government uses them and leverages these civil rights organizations to exact their regime of censorship.
And it's only going to get worse.
And I think this is the key tie-in here.
So, for example, we have a couple breaking stories.
Gaming publisher Activision will deploy AI to monitor voice chats for hate speech and harassment during online matches.
New, the U.S. Special Operations Command has contracted a New York-based AI firm to deploy Argus, a system to detect and neutralize real-time disinformation threats on where?
On social media.
Okay, so these groups like ADL and the SPLC, they're irrelevant to us.
We know they're whacked out, far-left, woke, formerly great civil rights organizations, or at least formerly relevant civil rights organizations, but now they're going to be equipped with something called AI.
And AI is going to pour jet fuel on their censorship.
So that's why voices like, I mean, I think I saw some tweets going on that like Elon Musk liked one of the ban the ADL tweets.
So apparently he's on board with it.
And I think he's going to be a nice break pad to his CEO that's meeting with the ADL.
But I think you can make too much of this at the same time because just because the CEO is meeting with the ADL does not mean that Elon Musk and X and Twitter are going to embrace their calls for censorship out of hand.
But I will say this.
It is a tacit acknowledgement of the financial power that the ADL can put on the leverage that they can place on Twitter and X because Twitter and X is bleeding money.
They need advertisers.
They need to be considered a safe space for advertisers.
And the ADL is coming in there and going, Hey, you're not safe.
Let us give you some recommendations.
We've seen anti-Semitism on your site rise to record levels under your tenure, Elon.
So here's some AI that can help censor some of this.
I think that's really what's going on here.
And context is important.
You are correct that meeting with them doesn't mean that they're going to follow all their demands.
But contextually, the ADL used to be on Twitter's sort of board of information values.
I can't remember the name of it off the top of my head, but they're like sort of media safety information security thing.
So they were essentially on Twitter's outsourced censorship operation when it was still a censoring website.
And the ADL badly wants that back.
And we really have created this network of private organizations that essentially outsource the regime's censorship operation.
So yeah, we've basically had the government can't come in and ban what you speak, what you say, but we can have these organizations that agree with the left on every single issue and will adopt all of their innovations anytime they change their opinion on something.
And they will act as the private actor that will bring all this pressure on you, that will give you sanction whether you can have advertising dollars or not, and can basically act to try to destroy you.
And I think people are wising up about this.
There was this period where there was a lot of legacy influence that the ADL and the SPLC had.
I think, you know, the SPLC would be brought in to give lectures at the FBI about hate groups.
And I think there's a much wider realization now that if there are, to the extent there are powerful hate groups in the United States, it is the ADL and the SPLC.
Like the Ku Klux Klan doesn't really exist.
It's like 10 guys in like rural Arkansas.
No one cares.
No one joins them.
No one gives them any money.
They have zero impact on popular discourse.
Whereas you do have the ADL putting out statements that are like, yeah, you know, so there's a song in South Africa, Kill the Boar.
It says, kill the boar, shoot, shoot, shoot.
But, you know, this is a historical song.
It's not really calling to murder people, even though white people do get murdered in South Africa and blatant racial killings all the time.
But, you know, it doesn't, it's very historical.
We need a lot of context on this one.
Well, let's go through some of their greatest hits.
Let's put up 203 right here.
This is, we're just going to go through a few of them.
This is a tweet from the ADL.
Former President Trump also delivered remarks that were in character, but still dangerous.
His claims about expelling warmongers, driving out globalists, casting out communists, and throwing off those who hate our country echo what?
Classic anti-Semitic rhetoric.
Okay, next, let's go to 205.
So this is an image.
ADL, it's okay to be a white, or it's okay to be white is what?
A hate symbol.
So they have this categorization that helps people identify hate when you see it, what to see, what to identify.
It's okay to be white is apparently a hate symbol.
Meanwhile, you have black is beautiful.
You have, you know, I mean, you have a litany of...
It's okay to be white.
It's okay to be white is racist, but kill the boar, essentially kill the white in South Africa is fine.
That's historical.
Yeah.
And it's pretty ridiculous.
It really is.
Everything is either white supremacy or anti-Semitism to these people.
So go ahead and play, put up 206, I believe.
This is Mark Pitcavage.
He's one of the attorneys for the ADL.
He says, Jake Shields, a multiple MMA champion with nearly 400,000 followers on this platform, is spreading the anti-Semitic hashtag ban the ATL.
So not liking the organization is apparently automatically anti-Semitic, claiming the long-standing Jewish civil rights organization is evil.
White supremacists have been happy to oblige.
But it's not just that.
Now, you mentioned this boar thing, 207, I believe.
Jonathan Greenblatt, ADL CEO and national director, issued the following statement.
ADL is focused on fighting the surge of global anti-Semitism, but we have observed the recent debate over the song Kill the Boar.
While it is a historic protest song that called for the dismantlement of the racist apartheid system in South Africa, its crude lyrics could be interpreted as a call for violence.
Next slide.
Such rhetoric can prompt real-world consequences.
This is true in the physical world.
This is true on social media, including X.
It has no place.
At the same time, baseless claims of white genocide.
So it's like they're buttering us up.
They're like, okay, cool, cool.
Yeah, you're right.
This song is probably, it could cause violence.
Oh, but at the same time, baseless claims of white genocide have been made by right-wing extremists in the U.S., particularly white supremacists for years.
Such wild charges have been used to excuse hate, to justify harassment, and rationalize violence.
It's so great.
Well, they're saying they're like, it called, it's, you know, it's historic.
It calls for dismantling the oppressive system.
No, like, the literal lyrics are just the cowards are scared.
Shoot, the boar, shoot, shoot, shoot the boar, shoot, shoot, shoot the boar.
It goes on like that.
Motherly.
The boar are Afrikaners.
It means farmer in their allegedly Dutch is a language, but it kind of just sounds like stupid English.
So in stupid English, it means farmer.
All right.
But hey, Blake, it's not just anti-Semitism and race.
209.
Look at this.
Children's literature can open doors to exploring important topics and concepts.
ADL Education compiled this list of LGBTQ plus themed books to, is that an LGBTQ plus minus?
I don't know if that's not sure there.
The resource also includes discussion guides for educators and families.
Explore the list.
And then it's got a bunch of the lists that we proudly recommend that you ban at your local school.
Thanks, ADL.
11 phenomenal books to read for LGBTQ Pride Month.
So here's, here's, let me just say this one caveat, Blake, before we go back and forth.
You know, Charlie is a proud supporter of the nation of Israel.
He's a proud supporter of the Jewish people.
I'm an evangelical.
Charlie's an evangelical.
We love the Jewish people.
There's nothing anti-Semitic about taking a specific angle and position on the fact that the ADL has become a shadow of its former self.
It's become woke.
It's become weaponized against conservatives.
It's a censorship arm of the Democrat Party.
It's been co-opted by social media companies and by the FBI and the federal government and our law enforcement agencies.
And it's become a hurtful, damaging thing to our society and to free speech.
You can go further than that, which is like, okay, yes.
So we like Israel.
We like Jews.
And it's enormously hurtful to say, for them to go around taping themselves and saying, like, we are the representatives of this entire, you know, religious, racial, ethnic group.
And that, you know, equating it with these radical ideas that are about 10 minutes old, all of this insane, like race hatred, all of this insane LGBT stuff, and saying, if you disagree with any of this, you're anti-Semitic because we're equating all of this with Judaism.
If I were a Jewish conservative, of which there are millions, I'd go insane from that.
It's incredibly demented.
And that's like the best argument you could make for banning the ADL.
Their effect on American politics is enormously toxic and negative.
I don't think we should ban anyone's speech, but if we had to start somewhere, I would start there.
There is nothing more intoxicating than basically going to people and saying, you can hate someone as much as you want, and it's okay because it's morally justified.
And that's what the ADL does.
They go around and they basically take anyone who disagrees with the left and they're like, they're a hate group.
It's okay to hate them.
It's okay to censor them.
It's okay to punch Nazis.
It's okay to burn their churches down if it's, you know, in Canada.
Ban the older.
Well said, Blake.
Well said, Blake.

All right, Blake.
This is a question about the DOJ going after, well, Biden's DOJ.
This is how the question is listed.
It says, hey, Charlie was actually written to Charlie, but it's all right.
We'll do it in his stead.
Hey, Charlie, have you seen that the Biden DOJ is attacking Elon Musk again?
DOJ Attacks on Musk 00:05:20
Not only are they attacking SpaceX for not hiring enough refugees, now they're investigating Tesla about how it compensates Elon Musk.
Make it make sense, Dwayne from Indiana.
All right.
So I, you know, this is a big story on a lot of levels.
It kind of connects to what we were just talking about.
I do think that Elon Musk standing up for free speech, which has become incredibly unpopular on the left, which is incredible.
It's our birthright as Americans.
They see this man as an existential threat, do they not, Blake?
They really do.
You know, the DOJ can investigate essentially whatever it wants.
It could investigate tax cheats.
It could investigate foreign influence operations in America.
It could investigate Chinese espionage.
It could investigate any number of frauds, charitable frauds.
They can investigate the SPLC.
They could do all these things.
And instead, they're going to Tesla and they're saying, Tesla, our problem is the way you compensate Elon Musk.
Now, if you check their financials, I've got them right in front of me.
Tesla turned a profit of $12.5 billion in 2022 on revenue of $82 billion.
They're doing pretty well.
I suspect your typical Tesla investor and shareholder is pretty happy with Elon Musk as CEO over the past decade.
But they're investigating this.
And it's just, it's so transparent, in my opinion, that they're like, we have to do lawfare against Musk the same way they do it against Trump.
They're going to pile up five different cases because maybe one of them will get through.
A year or two ago, there was a big investigation of Tesla on like supposed, basically they had racism allegations where if you dug into the details, the reporting would frame it like this was classic anti-black racism by white people.
But it was really basically that Hispanic, Spanish-speaking employees at a Tesla plant had some like hostility with black employees, which whatever it happened, it's bad, but it didn't justify.
They hit Tesla with like a $2 billion fine or some huge amount of money over it.
And you can look that up.
I remember that.
It was like, it was some interaction.
I remember reading the reports.
It was some interaction in like an elevator shaft.
It was like people getting in and out of an elevator.
And it wasn't, you know, Elon Musk is this big racist in the Bay Area.
It was black.
I think it was contractors even.
It was like subcontractors at one of their building.
And they're like, nope, this is a centralized conspiracy by Tesla.
They owe $300 million because this is the worst thing ever.
And then this SpaceX thing.
We have laws in the U.S. that regulate, you know, if you go to NASA's website, they'll basically say, if you're not a citizen, you basically can't work at NASA.
It's too sensitive.
And if you're not a legal U.S. resident, you're not supposed to work at a permanent U.S. resident.
You're not supposed to work in rocketry, other defense-sensitive fields.
And now suddenly they've gone after SpaceX and said, well, actually, we've decided that refugees and asylum seekers are legal U.S. persons.
So you're super bad for not hiring them.
And after you lose this lawsuit, you have to pay full back compensation to any refugee or asylum seeker whoever applied to work for you and you didn't give them a fair shake.
It's just so blatantly pursuing this maximal anti-Musk agenda that is essentially related to he's marked himself out as like a critic of the regime, more or less.
He's not under control.
Get in line.
I completely agree.
We all sort of warned him.
I remember Charlie was tweeting about this when Elon actually bought Twitter and we said, you know, you don't even know what's about to come after you.
In some ways, it's been more muted than I would have expected.
Twitter has exploded.
X has exploded in usership, apparently, and there was the Threads threat and Threads has collapsed.
You know, all the liberals were saying, we're done with Twitter.
We're going to Threads.
Well, nobody's over there.
It's a completely dead site now.
So Musk won Zuckerberg zero.
But yeah, I mean, this is the weapon of the DOJ.
It's selective prosecution.
They enforce the laws that they want.
They don't enforce a heck of a lot of laws.
And we see that on the streets every day across the country, the decriminalization of blatant crime, of blatant violence, of blatant shoplifting.
You can just go into Home Depot and take as many power tools as you want, apparently now.
But yet the hugely successful Elon Musk is getting investigated for some sort of glass house that he's making for himself.
I really don't know what he's.
Do you know what he's making?
30 seconds.
We got to wrap it up.
Do you know what this is?
That's the claims that basically Tesla paid to build his glass house.
And so they're saying that you can't throw stones at the government because you're in a glass house.
Right.
