00:01:10.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:02:05.000Normally it's Charlie, but now you got Blake and Andrew.
00:02:08.000So 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.
00:02:16.000Andrew, I just saw a news story in the Daily Mail about a fake mass grave at a Christian school in Canada.
00:02:23.000I vaguely recall a lot of news coverage of these mass graves two years ago.
00:02:28.000I think the Pope even traveled to Canada to apologize.
00:02:46.000And maybe the audience will like me more because we get to talk about an important topic in American life, which is that Canada sucks.
00:02:54.000And one of the problems with Canada is they really have this national identity that they've embraced over the last few decades.
00:03:00.000That what does it mean to be Canadian?
00:03:02.000It means to be like America, but more liberal, more liberal in every way.
00:03:06.000And they've been really out of sorts, especially since this George Floyd thing blew up.
00:03:12.000They're like, we don't, you know, we didn't really have slavery.
00:03:15.000We didn't have this like great historic crime.
00:03:18.000They 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.
00:03:25.000And what they really fixated on was they fixated on these residential schools, which is America had these two.
00:03:32.000Obviously, they have American Indians in Canada or as First Nations, as they call them.
00:03:36.000And 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.
00:03:52.000And these schools had issues with them, as you'd expect.
00:03:56.000They're often in the middle of nowhere.
00:03:59.000There 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.
00:04:09.000And 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.
00:04:26.000And 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.
00:04:35.000And instead of debunking this, the government leaned in on it.
00:04:39.000And there were dozens of churches in Canada in response to this were attacked with arson attacks, vandalism.
00:04:45.000Some were burned to the ground completely.
00:04:48.000Like, I have the numbers: 83 that were burned or vandalized.
00:04:52.000And if you could throw up that other graphic from Unheard, 83 churches were burned or vandalized in the aftermath of this fabricated hoax.
00:05:02.000And this, this, I mean, this is an interesting graphic when they put it up.
00:05:05.000It says, why the Canadian left is burning down churches while progressives tweeted churches serving indigenous communities burned 83.
00:05:16.000I mean, that's a shockingly high number.
00:05:20.000It'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.
00:05:33.000And then, like, what are the actual beliefs of the First Nations themselves?
00:05:36.000Well, a lot of them actually just are Christians because, you know, the residential schools succeeded in a lot of their mission.
00:05:43.000And then they get these churches, which, you know, they might only have one church for tens of miles.
00:05:48.000Canada's not a very densely populated place.
00:05:50.000And these places are getting torched and attacked.
00:05:52.000And 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.
00:06:00.000They got the Pope to show up and apologize.
00:06:12.000And 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.
00:06:20.000Or there's just nothing there at all is this story that there was no bodies in this alleged mass grave.
00:06:26.000They literally had a massive meltdown, which resulted in an anti-Christian spasm of arson and violence that the government enabled.
00:07:05.000And so they just inserted this really grave crime into their history that did not happen.
00:07:14.000Yeah, I mean, I think it's pretty tragic because we've seen this too.
00:07:18.000And we actually have a video of this, I believe.
00:07:21.000Let's go ahead and play some of the fallout.
00:07:24.000As 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.
00:07:53.000So 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.
00:08:43.000Well, 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.
00:08:57.000We call it a collective psychosis in the Western world.
00:09:06.000It hates anything that can dominate something else.
00:09:09.000So 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.
00:09:27.000It'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.
00:09:36.000And it's a very distinct characteristic of the left.
00:09:40.000I believe the Unibomber actually had some interesting quotes about this.
00:09:43.000Blake, maybe we can bust those out for next segment.
00:09:47.000And we've only got a minute in this segment.
00:09:49.000What do you think drives this passionate response on the left?
00:09:54.000You 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.
00:10:02.000You 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.
00:10:09.000They specifically, it is because they've been so successful.
00:10:12.000And 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.
00:10:27.000That was an innovation of the West that we have exported to the rest of the world.
00:10:32.000And 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.
00:12:44.000I love his songs, but I'm majorly upset right now.
00:12:47.000Another traitor, Beth, mother of three from Mesa, Arizona.
00:12:51.000So, 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.
00:12:58.000So, let's go ahead and play 67, catch y'all up.
00:13:02.000It's aggravating seeing people on conservative news try to identify with me like I'm one of them.
00:13:10.000It'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.
00:13:21.000You 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.
00:13:32.000So, for them to have to sit there and listen to that, uh, that cracks me up.
00:13:39.000Uh, but it was funny kind of seeing the response to it.
00:13:41.000Like, that song has nothing to do with Joe Biden, you know, it's a lot bigger than Joe Biden.
00:13:48.000All right, I, the Blake, you're not a huge fan of country, I don't believe, right?
00:14:06.000Yeah, we're gonna force you to listen to part of it.
00:14:08.000Uh, you know, no, you won't just because I will take off, I will take off these headphones and I will cover my ears.
00:14:14.000I 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?
00:14:28.000We 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.
00:14:46.000He's looking at it like, I just blew up.
00:14:48.000I need to essentially give myself the greatest opportunity.
00:14:52.000So, I'm gonna, I'm gonna try and be this squishy middle, somewhere middle-of-the-road guy.
00:17:03.000We'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.
00:17:11.000I think that kind of drives like the RFK Junior enthusiasm lately.
00:17:15.000I mean, he's otherwise a liberal on all of these issues, but he's aligned with us on this one thing.
00:17:20.000And he's like, you know, he's a famous name.
00:17:22.000He's got a famous father and a famous uncle among the Democrats.
00:17:26.000And so we're like, oh, RFK Jr., we love this guy now.
00:17:28.000And I think we have a bad habit of falling into this over and over again.
00:17:32.000And 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.
00:17:40.000I don't care what he actually thinks because I like the song.
00:19:34.000I mean, I definitely the same impulse here.
00:19:36.000Like, okay, so to be clear, I support that.
00:19:39.000I actually support the First Amendment.
00:19:41.000Think America should have basically absolute free speech.
00:19:44.000You should be able to say essentially anything.
00:19:47.000But 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.
00:19:56.000I think it's worth it, it's interesting to think.
00:20:00.000So, our friend Donald Trump, he's being persecuted by Jack Smith right now.
00:20:05.000One of the charges against him is under the Ku Klux Klan Act.
00:20:08.000The claim is he engaged in conspiracy against rights with his election dispute in 2020.
00:20:14.000Similarly, 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.
00:20:26.000Well, 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.
00:20:34.000Well, who in America engages in a conspiracy against rights right now, if not the ADL?
00:20:39.000The 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.
00:20:57.000They basically engage in a conspiracy, a public conspiracy, but a conspiracy, nevertheless, against your freedom of speech.
00:21:07.000So 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.
00:21:28.000So they basically harassed an expert witness to cause someone to not be able to get a fair trial.
00:21:37.000Well, 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.
00:21:52.000The key point, I think, here is how the federal government uses them and leverages these civil rights organizations to exact their regime of censorship.
00:22:05.000And I think this is the key tie-in here.
00:22:07.000So, for example, we have a couple breaking stories.
00:22:10.000Gaming publisher Activision will deploy AI to monitor voice chats for hate speech and harassment during online matches.
00:22:18.000New, 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?
00:22:30.000Okay, so these groups like ADL and the SPLC, they're irrelevant to us.
00:22:35.000We 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.
00:22:47.000And AI is going to pour jet fuel on their censorship.
00:22:51.000So 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.
00:23:02.000And I think he's going to be a nice break pad to his CEO that's meeting with the ADL.
00:23:07.000But 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.
00:23:26.000It 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.
00:24:24.000And we really have created this network of private organizations that essentially outsource the regime's censorship operation.
00:24:34.000So 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.
00:24:48.000And 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.
00:24:59.000And I think people are wising up about this.
00:25:02.000There was this period where there was a lot of legacy influence that the ADL and the SPLC had.
00:25:07.000I think, you know, the SPLC would be brought in to give lectures at the FBI about hate groups.
00:25:12.000And 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.
00:25:21.000Like the Ku Klux Klan doesn't really exist.
00:25:24.000It's like 10 guys in like rural Arkansas.
00:25:31.000They have zero impact on popular discourse.
00:25:34.000Whereas 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.
00:25:40.000It says, kill the boar, shoot, shoot, shoot.
00:25:43.000But, you know, this is a historical song.
00:25:45.000It's not really calling to murder people, even though white people do get murdered in South Africa and blatant racial killings all the time.
00:25:52.000But, you know, it doesn't, it's very historical.
00:26:05.000Former President Trump also delivered remarks that were in character, but still dangerous.
00:26:10.000His claims about expelling warmongers, driving out globalists, casting out communists, and throwing off those who hate our country echo what?
00:27:11.000He's one of the attorneys for the ADL.
00:27:13.000He says, Jake Shields, a multiple MMA champion with nearly 400,000 followers on this platform, is spreading the anti-Semitic hashtag ban the ATL.
00:27:22.000So not liking the organization is apparently automatically anti-Semitic, claiming the long-standing Jewish civil rights organization is evil.
00:27:29.000White supremacists have been happy to oblige.
00:27:34.000Now, you mentioned this boar thing, 207, I believe.
00:27:38.000Jonathan Greenblatt, ADL CEO and national director, issued the following statement.
00:27:43.000ADL is focused on fighting the surge of global anti-Semitism, but we have observed the recent debate over the song Kill the Boar.
00:27:49.000While 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.
00:28:17.000This song is probably, it could cause violence.
00:28:20.000Oh, 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.
00:28:28.000Such wild charges have been used to excuse hate, to justify harassment, and rationalize violence.
00:30:32.000And 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.
00:30:43.000And 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.
00:30:59.000If I were a Jewish conservative, of which there are millions, I'd go insane from that.
00:31:06.000And that's like the best argument you could make for banning the ADL.
00:31:09.000Their effect on American politics is enormously toxic and negative.
00:31:13.000I don't think we should ban anyone's speech, but if we had to start somewhere, I would start there.
00:31:18.000There 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.
00:31:45.000I got to tell you, Public Square is one of my favorite apps.
00:31:49.000There are progressive corporations out there that are just doing terrible things.
00:31:53.000And Public Square is out there leading the charge against all this garbage that we see from Target, for example, Starbucks strong-arming their customers to support abortion, and financial services like PayPal canceling customers for their political views.
00:32:08.000Thankfully, we don't have to fund these companies any longer with Public Square.
00:32:13.000Join the movement of millions of patriotic Americans who love truth, our country, and our Constitution at publicsq.m-O-B-I/CharliKirk.
00:32:22.000Public Square is an app and a website where you can get connected to tens of thousands of businesses from all different industries that share your value for life, family, and freedom.
00:32:31.000Public Square is free to join and get started today.
00:34:37.000And 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.
00:34:43.000They're going to pile up five different cases because maybe one of them will get through.
00:34:48.000A 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.
00:35:02.000But 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.
00:35:14.000They hit Tesla with like a $2 billion fine or some huge amount of money over it.
00:35:49.000We 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.
00:35:58.000And if you're not a legal U.S. resident, you're not supposed to work at a permanent U.S. resident.
00:36:03.000You're not supposed to work in rocketry, other defense-sensitive fields.
00:36:07.000And now suddenly they've gone after SpaceX and said, well, actually, we've decided that refugees and asylum seekers are legal U.S. persons.
00:36:14.000So you're super bad for not hiring them.
00:36:17.000And 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.
00:36:26.000It'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.
00:36:43.000I 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.
00:36:51.000In some ways, it's been more muted than I would have expected.
00:37:20.000They don't enforce a heck of a lot of laws.
00:37:23.000And we see that on the streets every day across the country, the decriminalization of blatant crime, of blatant violence, of blatant shoplifting.
00:37:31.000You can just go into Home Depot and take as many power tools as you want, apparently now.
00:37:35.000But yet the hugely successful Elon Musk is getting investigated for some sort of glass house that he's making for himself.
