Elon starts to ban people from Twitter? Which, how should we think about that? Kurt Schlichter goes unleashed on the RNC race, that, and so much more. Subscribe to our new podcast, The CharlieKirk Show, wherever you get your podcasts.
00:00:49.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:37.000So, first and foremost, the root of the bans that Elon Musk was executing was they were all basically tied to people sharing the exact location of Elon Musk's private jet.
00:01:51.000This comes after Elon Musk's daughter, who I think is named Lil X or something, who I mistook, I actually mistook her for a rapper, but I guess her name is Lil X or just X. I'm sorry.
00:02:04.000No, but he said Lil, I think, at some point.
00:02:08.000So his daughter's name is X, who was doxxed and harassed by some awful people because their private and intimate information was shared on Twitter and social media.
00:02:22.000Now, there is this guy that runs this account called Elon's Jet, which actually circumvents even the FAA technology.
00:02:32.000So Elon Musk pays extra money to have his tail number disguised by the FAA.
00:02:39.000So if you went to a website like FlightAware, flightaware.com, you would not be able to track Elon Musk's jet.
00:02:45.000What this guy does is he's actually able, through a very specific, let's just say a digital pin number equivalent, be able to see where Elon Musk's jet is based on a piece of technology that is very, very hard to actually determine what that number is.
00:03:05.000How this guy was able to do that in the past is not totally clear.
00:03:09.000Maybe there's been some reporting on it, but this is not public information.
00:03:15.000So I believe Americans have a right to privacy as much as you have a right to speech.
00:03:22.000Both are in the Bill of Rights, by the way.
00:03:24.000You have a right to speak, and you also have the right to privacy to have your personal effects, your home, your family not rated by the government or not rated by other people or by a company.
00:03:36.000So Elon's jet account that now restarted itself on this super weird website called Mastodon.
00:03:44.000Mastodon is a rival social networking site.
00:03:47.000Musk then suspended Mastodon's Twitter account, and it seems that the journalists whose accounts he suspended were themselves linking to the Mastodon page.
00:03:56.000So these people, these journalists, think they're immune from any rules, even though they are posting intimate and private detailed location of Elon Musk and his family.
00:04:11.000And so now the parasite class of reporters at CNN had a panic attack.
00:04:18.000Now, it's very interesting because the very people at CNN who have been trying to destroy free speech in the West immediately find it so to be repulsive that they would dare have their Twitter account suspended.
00:04:33.000And they are complaining the loudest of any community out there.
00:05:23.000Elon Musk is claiming falsely that the several journalists he suspended from Twitter yesterday shared his live location.
00:05:31.000Musk says it was a violation of Twitter's so-called doxing policy by sharing what he called assassination coordinates.
00:05:39.000What these journalists were doing was reporting on an account called Elon Jet, which used publicly available account information or flight information to track Elon Musk's jet.
00:05:51.000See, this is where Oliver Darcy is wrong.
00:05:53.000This is not publicly available information.
00:05:56.000You are able to pay for a service with the FAA, the Federal Aviation Administration, to block the tracking of your tail number.
00:06:07.000This guy is doing something very sneaky to find basically an otherwise cloaked PIN number to send out what Elon Musk calls assassination coordinates for his family and for him.
00:06:21.000And so look, Musk has now banned anyone that is saying you are going to share personal and private, detailed, location-specific information of him or his family.
00:06:33.000You know, some people say, well, Charlie, doxing, if you don't know what doxing is, doxing, is the sharing of private information publicly, where you live, where you are, where you work.
00:06:43.000I do not believe that doxing is protected speech.
00:06:49.000I have to have almost full-time security.
00:06:51.000My family's information has been publicly doxxed.
00:06:53.000We receive nearly daily death threats.
00:06:56.000People have been arrested because of the threats that they have administered against Turning Point USA, against our students, and against me.
00:09:21.000Pre-born is a terrific ministry doing just that with the help of people just like you by offering free ultrasound sessions to pregnant women and girls who might otherwise choose to end their pregnancies.
00:09:33.000We know that pregnant girls and women who can see their babies on ultrasound are far more likely to choose life.

00:11:03.000Personal targeted harassment is a key device in the left's toolkit to be able to make you uncomfortable in your home, in your place of peace.
00:11:19.000They want to make you paranoid and afraid.
00:11:24.000This is how the left reacts now that Elon Musk says: look, pornography is not speech, child exploitation is not speech, violence is not speech, and doxing will not be tolerated.
00:11:38.000And there is a constitutional and moral argument for this.
00:11:42.000I know the Constitution does not apply from a legal standpoint in the administration of Twitter's policies, but from a moral standpoint, you have to have the tension of both, yes, the right to speech, but somebody has the right to be private, to donate anonymously, and to exist not publicly or privately if they so choose.
00:12:07.000It's no wonder Elon Musk finds himself where he is right now because everybody's told him he's great.
00:12:14.000He's been fed not just by sycophants inside his companies, like telling how great he is.
00:12:21.000He's fed by sycophants in mainstream media.
00:12:24.000Joe Scarborough and MSNBC continue play cut 95.
00:12:29.000Talking about this all morning and trying to figure out what to make of it, trying to figure out what the political implications are to some degree, meaning do regulators step in?
00:12:38.000I don't understand why the guy continues to play in the sewer that's called Twitter and leave Twitter in the hands of somebody else.
00:12:49.000This is, again, this is just something that makes absolutely no sense.
00:12:52.000You've got a guy who was a First Amendment maximalist, supposedly.
00:12:58.000He said, I want to take over Twitter because we have free speech problems.
00:13:03.000And then they breathlessly go after what they call the Twitter files to try to figure out where they're reporters, were they politicians, were there media outlets who may have had their REIT suppressed.
00:13:15.000And now he's just outright banning Twitter.
00:13:53.000I mean, this last year was nuts, but this year is a little bit more nuts.
00:13:57.000Just in terms of the expansiveness of this whole thing, I've been told there's like 30 semi-trucks takes to like load all of the equipment in here.
00:14:05.000I'm on Media Row right now, if you're watching this and not on the radio.
00:14:08.000I'm on Media Row, where you can see there's like 50 different media outlets all here.
00:14:12.000And all that says is that all eyes are on this.
00:14:16.000This is the epicenter of the conservative movement right now, America Fest happening this weekend.
00:14:25.000And we have a huge amount of people already here just getting set up, getting ready to go for, like what you said, the biggest party in the conservative movement that anybody's thrown at any point.
00:14:36.000Still can get your tickets at amfest.com.
00:15:06.000And the reason why it's different is because it's catered to the bigger audience that's out there.
00:15:12.000This is big, untapped market of freedom lovers and conservatives.
00:15:16.000They're just kind of left behind by your kind of old school conservatives.
00:15:20.000There's nothing wrong with that sort of thing, but this is like, this is, if I were to describe it, this is the Coachella of conservative politics, the Lollapalooza of conservative politics.
00:15:29.000And the difference is that when you walk into the room at AmericaFest, unlike some of the other conservative conventions out there, It literally smacks you in the face with just the awesomeness.
00:15:45.000It's just this from a guy in kind of the entertainment world, the kind of the art world, there's nothing else like it.
00:15:51.000And there's a bunch of people trying to do this sort of thing in a smaller sense, but they just, you know, it's just, it's a difficult thing to pull off.
00:16:00.000And it, in terms of making a difference, to kind of answer your question, I think it's making a huge impact, especially for those people who are not necessarily super, super involved.
00:16:10.000They're kind of like, ah, casually trying it out.
00:16:12.000And then they come here and then, yeah, they come here and it blows them away.
00:16:51.000It's not too late to add precious metals to your IRA.
00:16:54.000Thousands of people have retired comfortably with the help of Noble Gold Investments and their gold and silver IRAs.
00:17:01.000If you're a hesitant investor, but one of the handful of Americans who can go for gold and silver in your IRA, now's the time to act.
00:17:07.000If you get in before the end of this month, you'll bag an incredible free three-ounce Silver American Virtue Coin with every qualified IRA of $20,000 or above.
00:17:16.000You can't go wrong with Noble Gold Investments.
00:17:24.000Call 877-646-5347 or go to noblegoldinvestments.com.
00:17:32.000The other wrinkle of Elon Musk's banning spree of these people that are publicizing private information that, of course, will then be used as potential assassination coordinates that will be used for personal targeted harassment.
00:17:47.000The other wrinkle, though, that I think is an unintended benefit is the very same people, the totalitarian left, that have been gleeful, excited, exuberant to ban me, to put a do not amplify tag on my Twitter to go after Dan Bongino, to go after Donald Trump.
00:18:06.000Those very same people will not stop unless we stop them.
00:18:50.000Those are very simple, prudent, reasonable guidelines.
00:18:56.000However, if you look at where the media and the left-wingers have been so over the top in the last couple of years, they believe they are the only side that is able or willing to use power.
00:19:15.000This is kind of the argument that we've been making on this program, where it's only one side uses the power to impanel grand juries to issue subpoenas.
00:19:27.000Why is it that Hunter Biden is not being investigated by attorneys general all across the country?
00:19:34.000Why is it that we do not investigate them for all the crimes that they've done?
00:19:38.000This idea that only one side fights and that we take it is wrong.
00:20:17.000You know, we've been telling these people, be really careful about the new rules that you embrace because they're going to come and they're going to become a suppository and you're not going to like it.
00:20:54.000Yeah, the very same people that have been trying to obliterate the tradition of free speech and dialogue are the ones that go into a volcanic frenzy.
00:21:02.000The second that they have their Twitter account temporarily suspended for tweeting out assassination coordinates against somebody's family.
00:21:34.000Uh Elon, where Elon's coming from uh, and I uh, I just kind of think it's hilarious that these people are now having to live under the rules that they created.
00:23:00.000And and I thought when John Rich was on Tucker last night because he's a big star but he's also kind of a regular guy and I think he really speaks for regular people going you know I work for a living and I write you a $25 check because that's all I can send.
00:23:14.000But I want to get, I believe in my country and I think the Republican Party should fight for it.
00:23:20.000So here's $25, and then you find it goes to Lululemon tights and You know, I don't think it's unreasonable to be infuriated about that.
00:23:33.000And in fact, I'm looking forward to Harmee Dylan, who's the candidate I'm supporting, making an audit of the RNC her number one first day one priority because we have to earn the trust of our people.
00:24:25.000That was one of the obstacles we hired you at a pretty substantial salary to overcome.
00:24:32.000And, you know, if she wanted to take a little cream off the top after being super successful, if she was coming off a 5-0 record instead of 0-5, and I found out that, you know, she got her Pilates tights comped by the RNC.
00:24:47.000Hey, Roger Rona, you know, coffee's for closers.
00:24:52.000And, you know, so are mom, mom, whatever, the yoga pants.
00:25:01.000We have an unbroken track record of failure.
00:25:04.000I'm not a sports guy, but I understand that if you're a football guy and you lose five seasons, you're going to go to whatever, I don't know, pop warner football, but you're not going to stay in the major leagues because you haven't performed.
00:25:27.000And one of the most glaring revelations of the entire financial reporting has been they, the travel thing is one thing.
00:25:41.000The $17 million, Kurt, in donor mementos.
00:25:45.000Have you ever seen these donor mementos?
00:25:47.000I mean, look, I'm in the business of raising money.
00:25:50.000We raise a fair amount of money and we're very careful how we spend it.
00:25:55.000And I could tell you, you know what donors don't want?
00:25:57.000They don't want some trinket that they're going to have to put in their luggage that will probably get destroyed after they go to a retreat with the money that they would rather see deployed towards the intended purpose.
00:26:08.000I was talking to a donor last night at a party, and this person has, you know, more money than Crassus.
00:27:24.000And, you know, look, I was a commander in the military.
00:27:30.000My big job was not pulling out my saber and charging.
00:27:34.000My big job was organizing the resources at my command, troops, artillery, logistics, intelligence, and making it a symphony and using the right forces in the right place in the right amounts.
00:27:51.000And I never had enough of any of them.
00:28:39.000Government funds are available to reward companies with two or more employees who stayed open during COVID.
00:28:45.000This is not a loan and you do not have to pay it back.
00:28:47.000This program is very complicated, but nobody knows it better than the CPAs and tax experts at covidtaxrelief.org.
00:28:55.000That is covidtaxrelief.org and you pay nothing up front.
00:28:58.000They do all the work and share a percentage of the cash that they get you.
00:29:02.000Businesses of all types, including nonprofits and churches, can qualify, including those who took PPP loans, even if you had increases in sales.
00:29:10.000You did the tough thing for your employees during COVID.
00:29:12.000Let covidtaxrelief.org help get you up to $26,000 per employee.
00:30:04.000But one of the biggest problems in our society is a lack of accountability.
00:30:10.000We have a ruling class that fails, that's corrupt, that's stupid, that's actively evil in many cases, and it's never held accountable from Hunter Biden to, you know, to weirdos in schools to our politicians.
00:30:29.000They aren't held accountable and they don't expect to be.
00:30:57.000And by then, she had gotten soft endorsements by about two-thirds of the 168 Republican National Committee members who kind of said, well, I guess might as well do Rona again.
00:31:10.000All right, let's head off to Dane Appointed Party, and then we'll elect her and then move on.
00:31:15.000And suddenly, Hermit Dylan shows up and says, no, Rona's failed.
00:32:36.000You cannot get that kind of unanimity.
00:32:41.000Monkey Pox is literally more popular than Rona McDaniel.
00:32:46.000And yet, this is still a question within.
00:32:50.000And people are still saying, I mean, if you talk to some of the committee members, and by the way, anyone, you guys can contact your committee members for your state at hireharmeet.com.
00:33:20.000And some of them are consultants who I've been attacked by, who are thinking, oh my gosh, Armit knows where the bodies are buried.
00:33:29.000She's going to kick over our rice bowls.
00:33:31.000Because one of the things I expect Harmeet to do would be to issue a RNC consultant guidelines.
00:33:41.000For instance, you don't take 10% of media sales if you're an RNC-approved consultant.
00:33:49.000Instead, you know, because when they spend money to buy media, they pocket 10%.
00:33:54.000It goes to influence people who are already influenced because there's nobody out there going, I don't know, I need to hear more about this Donald Trump character before I make my call.
00:34:05.000That money should be going at this cycle, this time.
00:34:10.000I haven't yet formed my opinion of Donald Trump.
