Only Trump Could Turn the Left Against Electric Cars

March 12, 2025 34m

The violent left is back, and they're showing it by torching Teslas and Tesla dealerships all across the country. Charlie explains that burning cars is only the start — these people want to assassinate Elon Musk and anyone else who upsets them. He digs into their motivations and why Trump's vow to prosecute vandals as domestic terrorists is important. Attorney Leo Terrell explains the mission of the DOJ's new antisemitism task force, and Charlie asks whether we can hope for additional measures to ensure all Americans enjoy equality under the law.

Here we go. Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus. 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.

Go to noblegoldinvestments.com. Elon Musk has dedicated a lot to saving the republic.
I want to go back in time a couple of years. I want to go back in time to the spring of 2022.
It was a dark time. Some would call it the dark night of the conservative soul.
We were a year removed from January 6th. Many of our friends were being raided and indicted on complete bogus and BS charges by the federal government.
Joe Biden seemed to have no concern for bringing the country together.

And most concerning of all, the tyrant, the regime, would not allow difference of opinion, stifled all inquiry. What concerned us the most was what started right in January of 2021, was the lockdown of freedom of thought.

President Trump was banned from Spotify. Of course, banned famously from Facebook, banned from Instagram, banned from TikTok even.
And then yes, of course, banned from his Twitter account while being a sitting president of the United States. For an entire year, we really could not get our message out.
We leaned on great platforms like Rumble and ones like this at Real America's Voice. For an entire year, we were struggling to communicate, to make arguments.
Every time we went to Twitter, we would be banned. We'd be censored.
In fact, I don't think I was on Twitter for like nine months. The team can fact check me on that.
I think we took like a nine-month hiatus from Twitter because we were banned around the trans stuff. It was a six-month hiatus from Twitter.
They said, you have to delete your tweet where you called Levine a man, even though that we say that he's a woman. We said, we're not going to do that.
The Mockingbird media reigned supreme. And then out of nowhere, the game changed.
You could make the argument that what happened next was a cause set in motion, that without this heroic and courageous action, that President Trump might never have become president. that our movement that now has taken over Washington, D.C., that's spread all

across the country, and yes, also all across the planet, never would have taken root. And that, of course, is Elon Musk doing something he did not have to do.
Doing something that quite honestly cost him greatly. Paying

too much for a platform

that was otherwise

not

as valuable as you might think. And that is when Elon Musk purchased Twitter.
He purchased Twitter and the game completely changed. He called their bluff.
He paid way too much money for it. Everyone knew it at the time.
But that was Elon Musk's signal saying, I might be the world's richest man, but I am not going to stand idly by while Western civilization and the country that I love, the country that I have poured my heart into is going to be incinerated and taken over from within. Elon Musk was the beginning of us standing up against this woke tumor that infested every major cultural institution.
It's very important to remember also how Elon Musk lost his son to this very movement. To him, it is hyper-personal.
And he swore a pledge. He swore an oath to destroy the woke mind virus.
Elon went to work. And what makes Elon so unique is Elon's wealth is partially made possible by the left.
Not all of it. But partially, the magnitude of his wealth is only made possible because of climate change fanaticism.
Democrats believe that the world was ending because of climate change. Democrats believe that the world was coming to an apocalyptic end.
So therefore, we need electric vehicles. Therefore, we need to fight carbon emissions.
Therefore, Tesla was the centerpiece to all that. So Elon saw himself benefit tremendously through electric vehicle subsidies.
He didn't ask for them. He didn't push for them, but he gladly received them.
And so then Elon's net worth went from $20 billion to $50 billion to $100 billion to $200 billion, where Elon Musk's net worth fluctuates now between $350 billion and $450 billion. dollars.
The Democrats created the wealth that Elon Musk has now been able to use

to save the West. And then Elon went in even further.
As he started to realize the stakes of the game, he understood that electric vehicles and even going to Mars, all of that pales in comparison to the fight and the struggle for decency and civilization itself.

And Elon was never asked to do this. He did not have to do it.
Elon Musk could have bought an island and he could have vacationed for the rest of his life. He could have had a super yacht that would make Jeff Bezos look like a little chummy fishing boat.
but Elon decided to put all of it on the line and be a man in the arena, as Teddy Roosevelt would talk about. Our followers have since tripled on X.
We now stream this program on X, and many of you guys are watching it on X. And of course, Elon Musk went all in on the election, spending hundreds of millions of dollars to get President Trump elected.
We worked with him and his super PAC in the state of Wisconsin to successfully get President Trump elected in Wisconsin. We worked with Elon and his super PAC in the state of Pennsylvania to help get Dave McCormick to be a United States Senator.
Of course, President Trump also winning Pennsylvania. He's a phenomenal patriot.

And now, all of this culminating into the left finding their new target. What we have been witnessing the last couple of days is nothing short than an electric vehicle Kristallnacht.
This is the left going after a great American patriot going to Tesla dealerships and engaging in outright domestic terrorism, firebombing Teslas, vandalizing them, committing felony after felony. Now, we have a new sheriff at the FBI, Kash Patel, and I highly encourage Kash Patel to use all of the FBI agents now at your disposal to find all of the domestic terrorists that are committing these political hate crimes.
A political hate crime should fall under the guise of what is domestic terrorism. If you bomb a Democrat county headquarters or Republican county headquarters, that can be classified as domestic terrorism.
Not only can someone get hurt, but this is them saying that they want to assassinate Elon Musk, and they have been saying that time and time again. They helped create Elon Musk, and they are so angered at their core that the man that they helped create, the man whose wealth was largely made possible because of their earth-worshipping, is now using his time, most importantly, and his treasure to assail the federal bureaucracy, to shrink the size and scope of the federal government, to restore citizen government.
We are seeing that the left's core ideology, at the fundamental core, is destruction. These are 2020 tactics.

The same way that they went and go burn to Wendy's during Floydapalooza.

The tactics they will revive if they can get away with it.

We need mass federal arrests for the people

that are bombing these Tesla factories

and these dealerships, not yet factories.

We need to make it public names of who is doing this.

This is coordinated.

This is centralized. And Tesla owners are now fearful of what is happening.
This is an orchestrated hit against a great entrepreneur and American patriot. It reminds me of the firebombing and vandalism of pro-life clinics.
It's the same Antifa tactics. However, we control the FBI.
So Pam Bondi and Kash Patel,

we need arrests. We need perp walks.
We need public shows of support for Tesla and Elon Musk.

And if you dare lay a finger on one of it, you might go to prison for domestic political terrorism.

Only Donald Trump could get the left to hate electric cars private student loan debt in the united states totals about 300 billion dollars about 45 billion of that is labeled as distressed why refi refinances distressed or defaulted private student loans that others will not touch why refi does not care what your credit score is Because of private student loan debt, so many Americans feel stuck and helpless, and they've even lost hope. They don't care what your credit score is and may not be available in all states.
Y-Refi is not a debt settlement company, and they work with each borrower individually, tailoring each loan to each borrower's specific situation. Go to YRefi.com, Y-Refi refinances distressed and defaulted private student loans, which are different from federal loans.
Because of private student loan debt, so many Americans feel stuck and helpless. They have been such good supporters of us at Turning Point USA.
They help us with our campus tours. So if any of you have private student loans, if your brother has private student loans, if your son has private student loans, if anyone in your circle tell about Y-Refi, I can vouch for their credibility and their patriotism.
Go to YRefi.com. That is YRefi.com.
We're experiencing the coordinated attack on Elon Musk and Tesla dealerships. However, Elon seems largely unfazed by this.
He seems largely unfazed because for him, money is nothing more than a game. I mean, there is something to say that once you get over $100, $150 billion, it really is kind of just numbers on a screen.
But he's never been motivated by material possessions. Elon Musk does not own major mansions.
He owns planes basically just for utilitarian purposes.

They say that this has never happened before, that a rich man has never come into the White House.

However, World War II was largely won thanks to the industrial policy that was orchestrated and that was directed by Bernard Baruch. Bernard Baruch was an industrialist.
He was one of the wealthiest men on the planet. He decided to take his time and go into the White House.
He was known as the Park Bench Statesman. In fact, there is a bench named for him outside of the White House in Lafayette Square.
He came in both during World War I and World War II. During World War I, Bernard Baruch served under Woodrow Wilson.
He played a crucial role in managing U.S. economic mobilization during the war.
He even advised Wilson at the Paris Peace Conference. In the interwar period, he continued to advise presidents on economic and military preparedness.
During World War II, he was the top-level advisor to Franklin Delano Roosevelt. This guy was the industrial titan of the time.
He was not quite as rich as Elon Musk, but he was very, very wealthy. Think of him as in the category of Bezos of the time.
He served as an ear and advisor to FDR. For industrial production for war efforts, his strategies are credited with significantly reducing production times for military equipment.
Blake knows these facts better than I do. But one of the reasons that we were able to win World War II so decisively, honestly rather quickly is we were able to build ships and build critical infrastructure faster than the Europeans could have even imagined.
We mobilized the entire country, and I think we were able to build a naval ship a day or a week. I'm lending on some memory here, but it was a remarkable feat of accomplishment.
We did a ship in a day as a stunt. That was the Liberty ship.
Our infrastructure was very intact at the time. The point being, though, is that this has happened before, is that Bernard Baruch came during a time of national crisis and said, I don't care how much money I make, I'm going to go all in.
Elon Musk is very similar. And that is a great way to get this parasitic force that calls themselves the American Democrat Party to mobilize against you.
And Elon Musk seems largely unfazed. In fact, this only makes him seem to want to double and triple down his efforts.
Yesterday, President Trump ordered an electric vehicle to the White House. I will be honest, a year ago, March of 2024, I did not have it on my bingo card that in the first 100 days of the Trump presidency, President Trump would be getting into a Tesla.
There's a lot broken in this country. The TSA is broken.
Our banking system is broken. Our hospitals are broken.
Our government is largely broken. But America's entrepreneurs are one of the only things in the country that works.
So why are we supposed to trust the government experts over our master class entrepreneurs? You understand that our top 3,000 entrepreneurs in this country, whether it be in crypto, fintech, banking, electric vehicles, online e-commerce, energy, are the envy of the world. No nation, not even China, has the entrepreneurs that we have.
They are the greatest asset that we have. And Elon is the greatest of the greatest asset.
We should be thanking God that someone with his wisdom, his power, his magnitude, his force, and his patriotism is willing to step into the void. And just remember, it's worthy of repetition.
Because of him purchasing Twitter, President Trump is probably in the White House. You guys can prevent against it with Legacy Box.

We have with us Leo Terrell from the Department of Justice, Office of Civil Rights, the great Leo Terrell. Leo, welcome to the program.
Charlie, it is a pleasure. I don't know if I'm great, but I'm proud to be serving the country.
Basically, President Trump gave me this tremendous opportunity. I'm under the leadership of Pam Bondi.
Thanks for having me. Absolutely.
So you are head of the Department of Justice Task Force to combat anti-Semitism. Tell us all about it.
Well, let me tell you right now that Biden, Harris, Garland administration ignored the anti-Semitism on campuses throughout this country, in cities, in blue cities. And Trump, President Trump, has made it a point of order to make sure that we eliminate anti-Semitism throughout this entire country.
And that was one of the executive orders he signed, and Pam Bondi has taken that executive order and have created a task force that really joins every federal agency with the ultimate purpose to eliminate anti-Semitism. What has gone on on these college campuses is outrageous, is unfair, is illegal, is unconstitutional, and violates equal protection.
The Jewish American people want the same rights as every other American group, and yet these universities have turned their back on them. So basically, the task force is designed to use every tool in the Department of Justice toolbox to stop it.
We're going to visit the 10 worst schools on our campus tour. You're invited, Charlie.
And we're going to basically inform these board of trustees to have a fiduciary responsibility to protect Jewish American students like everyone else. And if litigation is necessary, we're going to explore litigation.
We're going to explore every aspect for the sole purpose to make sure Jewish American students are allowed to go to school without being tormented, harassed, or basically intimidated. That is our ultimate goal.
So tell us about the decision that Marco Rubio has made because he has unfettered discretion, according to the INA, the Immigration Naturalization Act, to be able to deport Mahmoud Khalil. Some critics are saying, Leo, this is just a matter of freedom of speech, that you should be allowed to protest against the state of Israel.
How do you guys draw the line between protesting against Israel and also anti-Semitism? Thank you for that question, Charlie. First of all, let me just brag a little bit.
I've been a civil rights attorney for 35 years. I know what First Amendment speech is, and I would protect your First Amendment right to speak, but what we're witnessing at Columbia and at these universities goes well beyond freedom of speech.
This is outright illegal conduct, criminal behavior, and you couple that with the intended purpose to prevent Jewish American students to access to their campuses, to their schools, in which they're paying a lot of money to attend. Let me be very clear about this law.
This individual is not an American citizen, and I've watched these Democrats talk about his constitutional rights.

Excuse me.

This is not a criminal proceeding.

He is here based on the grace of the American government to come into this country and to attend a university on a student visa.

And he received that benefit.

That is a privilege, not a right.

And what has happened?

He violated that privilege, Charlie.

He has basically utilized the Columbia University campus

as an arsenal to harass Jewish students

and to support a terrorist organization. Now, let me be very clear.
Marco Rubio, I want these Democrats to check the law. He has the discretion to revoke this individual's visa, his green card.
And he can use the argument that this individual's conduct is adverse to foreign policy. I would submit to you, Charlie, that this individual, who is not an American citizen, his conduct on the campus of Colombia is adverse to Jewish Americans.
We support Jewish Americans. It's adverse to the position that we consider Hamas a terrorist organization.
He supports Hamas. So I will tell you right now that Marco Rubio, Secretary of State Rubio, has the right to submit a revocation order for this person to be sent away.
And let me be very clear. This is a message to every protester who is here in this country on a student visa.
If you're going to participate in anti-Semitic pro-Hamas activity, you are subject to deportation.

And I agree completely with all that. Khalil does not want to live in America because he loves our land, our people, or our values.

Khalil wants to live in America in order to contribute to the destruction and eradication of America.

Staying in America is not a right. It's a privilege.
And Mahmoud Khalil threw his privilege away. Are you guys receiving a good feedback from these universities? I deal at these universities, Leo, as you well know.
They are infested with anti-Americanism, anti-Semitism, also treatment against white students. This has been terrible in recent years.
What is the response you are getting from these colleges as you guys have announced this very important task force? Well, first of all, we're getting a major positive response from the university, almost like we're going to clean up our act letters. I got one from one of the universities that we're going to, that they're going to take measures to combat anti-Semitism.
Oh, why do they wait for the last three and a half years? Oh, because Trump is not going to play the Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Merrick Garland, Michigan strategy? Oh, no. They are responding, Charlie, because besides the fact that some of these dudes are possibly being could be deported remember last week we canceled 400 million dollars of money government taxpayers will no longer subsidize anti-semitic behavior so the results is great but i don't trust them we're going to make sure we get it in in in writing commitment that this this elimination of anti-Semitism is going to take place on all campuses permanently.
And it is going to be enforced by not only the Department of Justice. I'm going to take my hat off to Linda McMahon, the Secretary of Education.
Every agency in the Trump administration is working on eliminating anti-Semitism.

I can guarantee you this, Charlie, that these universities are responding because they don't want to lose the money. They don't want the stigma to be attached.
They don't want to face possible legal action. So every tool in the toolbox has forced this change.
They're not doing it willingly, but it's because of Donald J. Trump, Pam Bondi, and all the other agencies telling them, do it or else we'll do it for you.
And I got to add one other point that's going to make sure that people understand. It's not just the universities.
It's some of these cities. Ever since October 7, 2023, what have these blue cities done to harass, excuse me, arrest these individuals for hate crimes? They get arrested, Charlie, to get released.
So we're telling these blue city mayors, these blue city district attorneys, do your job and arrest these individuals who have committed hate crimes and do the job of prosecuting them. There must be a deterrent effect.
And that is the goal of this task force, President Trump and Pam Bondi. So, so Leo, I think you guys are going to be successful here.
I really do. Cause we got you and you're phenomenal at what you do and you are a bulldog.
And so if you guys are successful or when you guys are successful, would you guys also do a similar task force to go after the anti-white bias that we're seeing on our college campuses across the country? Oh, yes. Let me be clear.
Anti-white bias, this is all DEI nonsense. The attack on Christians, the attack on Catholics.
Charlie, let me tell you right now, all the president wants to do is make sure everyone is treated fairly. And we're focusing on, this task force is focusing on anti-Semitism, but what President Trump has done since the outset to eliminate DEI, to stop playing this game of this attack on people because of skin color is being taught in school.
This is a project that the president is committed to. Treat everyone equally.
That's all we want to do. No preference of treatment, no affirmative action.
Just treat everyone equally. And right now, our focus is on that task force against anti-Semitism, but for Catholics, for whites, for Christians, for everyone, blacks, browns, yellows, we want to treat you equally under the law.
Absolutely. And you have a great history, Leo, of doing that.
And for example, I mean, there are dormitories. I mean, one in particular in Cal Berkeley, where the off-campus housing policy was the person of color theme house, where a student had too light skin and wasn't allowed to go and have a place in that dormitory from the problematizing whiteness course at university of colorado denver i mean the list is insane and you guys are going to get to the bottom of it and so leo you're doing a great job we have your back uh thank you so much and fight hard.
And by the way, don't just take these colleges rhetoric.

I don't trust these colleges.

They have to fire these anti-American pro-Hamas professors as well.

I think you guys should demand that and ask for the order.

Leo, thanks so much.

Thank you very much, Charlie.

Appreciate it.

God bless you.

Making America Great Again starts with making America healthy again.

Charlie Kirk here. I lost 40 pounds with the PhD weight loss and nutrition program.
And two years later, I haven't gained a pound back. I started the PhD weight loss program because I need to be healthy to keep up with my crazy schedule.
Most people start a weight loss program to get healthier. So why is Big Pharma spending millions to convince you to use their weight loss injections that do just the opposite?

They have harmful side effects and lifelong dependency.

Take a natural approach that isn't connected to a Big Pharma bottom line.

PHD changes the way you think about food.

They custom design a plan that is simple and works with your schedule.

You'll learn to quiet cravings and finally release the unhealthy belly fat.

You won't be hungry and you'll never take medication.

Yesterday was the Greenlandic elections, everybody. So we were contemplating the next election.
We will do this. We were contemplating doing election live stream.
Kind of our legendary election live stream. We said, ah, it's a little bit of an off election.
The next time Greenland does an election, we're going to do our whole election live stream. It's remarkable how few votes there are actually in Greenland.
Now, people come up to me, they say, Charlie, what's going on in Greenland? As if I'm some sort of Greenlandic political expert. As if I'm like the Svengali of Greenlandic politics.
We would set up a turning point action office in Nook, but I think the Danish government would shut it down. So Greenland had its election.
The pro-Denmark party got first, but the pro-United States party got its best ever result and got second just narrowly. 1,500 votes short.
Though ruling left-wing parties that are relatively in the middle, all lost. It's all proportional though, so nobody is dominant.
So essentially, the election that happened yesterday shows the pro-United States party that is called Nalorak, Nalorolic, I'm butchering that, so please forgive me. Got second.
President wants Greenland to become part of the United States. Nalorak is part of the party, by the way, that helped host us when we visited in, when I visited in January.
It's very informal, but I met this guy connected on WhatsApp, and he also visited the inauguration. There's some of our snapshots and images when we were visiting on the ground in Nook.
If we're only 1,500 votes away from tipping the scales, we're getting closer. So what does this all mean? If we want Greenland to be part of the United States of America, which we do, this is positive momentum to force a yes or no referendum to first and foremost get Greenland to leave Denmark.
President Trump has been doing his job and has been offering an olive branch. President Trump has said we will invest billions of dollars in Greenland.
I hope you understand that like billions of dollars in Greenland would change their country forever. We love Greenland and we can be a great partner with them.
From infrastructure, they'd be part of our Medicaid system, which is not exactly awesome, but it's probably better than what they're getting now. It's barely 50,000 people.
And many other countries are salivating to be able to conquer and take over Greenland. We would offer support.
We'd give them financial security. Not to mention, we would have access to rare earth minerals, to oil deposits, to gold, to rubies, to gems.
The bad guys are conquering Greenland. We want to partner with them.
You see, Russia and China wants to conquer it. We want to partner with them, invite them into the family.
We want Greenland to be in the United States of America. We want to lift them up.
And the people of Greenland are amazing when I went there. Via self-determination.
They have to want it as well. And they are getting closer and closer.
It is a Western Hemisphere nation. And this election shows that the pro-American forces are ascendant in Greenland.
And it should be partnered with America, not the old world. This would be nothing but upside for the great people of Greenland.
You will be wealthier. You will be richer.
You will have the U.S. dollar.
You will have more purchasing power. you see the people of Greenland part of their mentality is sadly

very similar to the Native Americans. They're not really sure what to make of the Westerner.
They're not really sure what to make of it. And unfortunately, there's a lot of poverty.
However, the younger folks in Nook that I met that follow us on TikTok, they want to be part of the United States of America. They want to be part of our country.
They want to be part of our experience. They want to be part of this broader project.
And I think it's time that we continually say, here's the olive branch. We are not here to take you over or conquer any of that stuff.
We want you to be part of our community. The Russians or the Chinese will try to conquer you.

We respect you.

We understand you.

And we think you have a great nation

that could also come into our great nation.

We could do amazing things together.

And you guys would become very, very rich and prosperous.

So the pro-American forces are doing very well in Greenland.

We'll see what happens.
