00:00:30.000 Several Tesla vehicles caught fire early Tuesday morning at a service center in Las Vegas.
00:00:36.320 Investigators believe the fire was intentional,
00:00:39.040 and local law enforcement suspect an individual deliberately targeted the vehicles.
00:00:44.540 Authorities have not yet identified a motive,
00:00:47.080 but the incident follows a pattern of vandalism against Tesla vehicles and dealerships nationwide.
00:00:53.680 Tesla CEO Elon Musk's close ties to President Donald Trump
00:00:58.260 have made the company a proxy target for those that wish to express opposition to the administration.
00:01:04.020 Dismissing these attacks as acts of petty vandalism would be a mistake.
00:01:09.300 These are acts of political terrorism, and if they go unpunished, progressives will only escalate their tactics.
00:01:17.120 For many, the Black Lives Matter and Antifa riots served as a wake-up call, exposing a breakdown in law and order.
00:01:25.680 The destruction of property and attacks on individuals made it clear that violence had become an accepted political tool.
00:01:33.220 The shock came not just from the riots themselves, but from the support that they received from elected officials and law enforcement.
00:01:42.260 Political terrorism has long been a tactic of the left, emerging at key moments to push its agenda forward.
00:01:49.280 A near monopoly on media and education has allowed progressives to rewrite history, erasing their movement's violent past.
00:01:57.940 But this is nothing new, and if serious action isn't taken, more terrorism will follow.
00:02:03.800 The civil rights movement is often remembered as a series of peaceful protests that led to major social change.
00:02:11.060 While many activists did engage in laudable, non-violent demonstrations that won public sympathy, violence was also a significant feature of the era.
00:02:21.540 The Harlem riots of 1964, the Los Angeles riots of 1965, and the Detroit and Newark riots of 1967 illustrate this reality.
00:02:31.900 Following Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination, riots erupted in more than 100 American cities between 1968 and 1969.
00:02:41.720 Because the movement is judged favorably now, these acts of political violence are rarely discussed.
00:02:47.740 Yet they played a crucial role in shaping the period, including contributing to the election of Richard Nixon.
00:02:54.060 In 1969, future Barack Obama mentor Bill Ayers co-founded the Weather Underground, a leftist terrorist group.
00:03:03.040 This revolutionary Marxist organization helped instigate the days of rage riots in Chicago and carried out bombings at the U.S. Capitol, the Pentagon, the California Attorney General's office, and a New York police station.
00:03:17.740 Despite their violent history, several members of the group later secured prestigious academic positions.
00:03:25.440 And leftist political violence didn't just end in the 1960s.
00:03:29.560 The Miami riots of 1980, the Los Angeles riots of 1992, the Cincinnati riots of 2001, and the Ferguson riots of 2014 show that it remains a recurring feature of American politics.
00:03:43.420 The pattern is predictable.
00:03:45.240 The media frames a justifying narrative, progressive activists coordinate the unrest, and political pressure ensures that few, if any, perpetrators face consequences.
00:03:56.680 The American left has long treated violence as a legitimate tool of persuasion, and expects to use it without accountability.
00:04:04.660 So you've always been picky about your produce.
00:04:07.100 But now you find yourself checking every label to make sure it's Canadian.
00:04:11.280 So be it.

00:04:21.800 After the mob violence of 2020, victorious Democrats shifted their usual blend of soft power and plausible deniability to overt authoritarian tactics.
00:04:33.460 The Biden administration directed the FBI to investigate parents protesting at school board meetings and Catholics attending the Latin Mass.
00:04:41.780 The Justice Department pushed for excessive sentences against January 6th protesters and even prosecuted a man for posting memes mocking Hillary Clinton.
00:04:50.820 Democrats also attempted to bankrupt Donald Trump, remove him from the ballot, and ultimately imprison him.
00:04:56.360 When all of those efforts failed, they escalated their tactics, leading to multiple assassination attempts.
00:05:02.820 Their political violence culminated in the injury of the soon-to-be president and the tragic death of firefighter Cory Coppator, who died protecting his own family.
00:05:13.100 Democrats have suffered defeat on every level.
00:05:16.920 Their party's approval rating continues to decline.
00:05:19.760 Their policies repel voters, and they lost both the Electoral College and popular vote in the last election.
00:05:27.480 Frustrated and desperate, progressives have returned to their most reliable strategy, open political violence.
00:05:35.540 Some conservatives dismiss the recent vandalism and destruction targeting Tesla as a minor property crime.
00:05:42.400 But these incidents don't exist in a vacuum.
00:05:46.140 They're part of a broader pattern of escalating violence from a movement that refuses to accept political losses.
00:05:54.120 The left has already embraced and celebrated political assassination over the past year.
00:06:01.320 Many celebrities and political commentators openly voiced frustration that an assassin's bullet narrowly missed killing Donald Trump on live television.
00:06:12.400 Meanwhile, an entire subculture of worshippers has formed around Luigi Mangione, who allegedly assassinated the CEO of UnitedHealthcare.
00:06:22.960 Progressives, consumed by desperation and rage, are lashing out at anyone and anything that they perceive as political opposition.
00:06:33.540 Political violence in the United States must be met with zero tolerance.
00:06:38.080 For too long, the left have enjoyed the ability to use violence as a political tool, relying on its media monopoly to shield perpetrators from legal and political consequences.
00:06:50.840 Progressives have already escalated their tactics to assassination, successfully killing multiple victims.
00:06:58.420 Sitting around and pretending like, oh, we're just one step away from things getting out of hand.
00:07:02.860 No, no, no, we're very much in the realm of things being out of hand.
00:07:08.240 The Trump administration must not dismiss these attacks on Tesla as some kind of petty act of vandalism.
00:07:15.600 These are the warning signs of a more serious domestic terror situation to come.
00:07:21.860 Federal law enforcement must act swiftly.
00:07:24.780 If any leftist organization played any role in planning or facilitating these attacks, it should be treated as a domestic terror threat.
00:07:35.580 Authorities must act decisively against violent extremism now, or risk emboldening these lunatics until they commit even worse crimes in the future.
