00:00:00.000 Hello, everybody.
00:00:01.000 I am back.
00:00:02.000 What is the ADL?
00:00:03.000 The Anti-Defamation League actually engages in more defamation than not.
00:00:07.000 ADL.org.
00:00:08.000 We talk about that with Will Scharf and how they are suppressing the U.S. Constitution.
00:00:13.000 Email us your thoughts as always, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:00:16.000 Get involved with our education movement, turning pointusa at tpusa.com, the most important movement in America, tpusa.com.
00:00:24.000 That is tpusa.com.
00:00:26.000 Buckle up, everybody.
00:00:27.000 Here we go.
00:00:28.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:00:30.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.
00:00:32.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:00:36.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:00:39.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:00:40.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:00:41.000 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.
00:00:49.000 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.
00:00:58.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:02.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.
00:01:10.000 Over the weekend, a internet campaign started to push back against the Anti-Defamation League, the ADL.
00:01:19.000 Now, if you do not know what the ADL is, they're one of the most powerful organizations.
00:01:23.000 They used to be nonpartisan.
00:01:25.000 They used to say, hey, we're here to fight anti-Semitism, but that's changed.
00:01:29.000 The ADL is nothing more than a weapon of the Marxist left run by a man by the name of Jonathan Greenblatt.
00:01:38.000 Now, if you go to their website, adl.org, it's hard to find anything you disagree with.
00:01:42.000 They say, unless you go further, they say, we fight anti-Semitism.
00:01:46.000 In fact, their byline is Fighting Hate for Good.
00:01:52.000 ADL.org, run by this guy, Jonathan Greenblatt.
00:01:54.000 Now, this goes to a theme, though, is that there's a supply and demand issue with hatred and racism in America.
00:02:00.000 The same goes for the civil rights machinery or Leviathan that was built in the 1960s and early 1970s.
00:02:07.000 We start to see that you build these massive institutions all around trying to fight racism and fight injustice and fight anti-Semitism.
00:02:16.000 And eventually you realize the country that you're waging this war in, it's actually a rather decent country.
00:02:23.000 So you have to come up with hatred where it doesn't exist.
00:02:28.000 So ADL.org, their entire mission statement to their donors and to their employees and to their members is that there's more hate than ever before and give us more money so we could fight hate for good.
00:02:43.000 And they call themselves the Anti-Defamation League.
00:02:45.000 Now, ironically, they actually do more defaming than almost anybody else.
00:02:50.000 They smear, for example, libs of TikTok.
00:02:53.000 They slander decent people.
00:02:55.000 They have a whole page on Turning Point USA, actually.
00:02:59.000 ADL.org.
00:03:00.000 They run advertisements against Turning Point USA trying to say that we are, you know, not alt-right, but we play footsie with the alt-right and that we are akin to radical right-wing forces.
00:03:13.000 We have a whole page right here on ADL.org.
00:03:15.000 Key points.
00:03:17.000 Goes through all the different activities.
00:03:20.000 Charlie Kirk promotes Christian nationalism and activism.
00:03:23.000 TPUSA and right-wing extremists. 0.98
00:03:25.000 TPUSA and racist bigots. 0.99
00:03:28.000 Goes on and on and on.
00:03:29.000 So this is a multiple page thing at ADL.org.
00:03:33.000 And they pick their targets and they smear you relentlessly.
00:03:37.000 Now, it really hasn't bothered me or bothered us at Turning Point.
00:03:40.000 Yes, they run SEO ads trying to misrepresent us.
00:03:44.000 But they do this, and this is the important thing, is they believe they are untouchable.
00:03:50.000 They believe that you cannot criticize the ADL or the Anti-Defamation League.
00:03:57.000 You're not allowed to push back on them.
00:03:58.000 You're not allowed to say, hey, what you're doing is wrong.
00:04:01.000 Now, understand this is their business model.
00:04:03.000 The business model of the Anti-Defamation League, the ADL, is they will go after voices, companies, and they will try to destroy them if they do not suppress speech that they don't like.
00:04:19.000 So, this all bubbled up when the head of ADL, Jonathan Greenblatt, met with the head of X, or always be Twitter to me, Linda Yaccarino.
00:04:29.000 And when that meeting happened, all of a sudden this erupted on social media saying, hold on a second, we know what the ADL is trying to do here.
00:04:35.000 The ADL is going to try to pressure Twitter to shut up, shadow ban, and blacklist dissident voices that they don't like.
00:04:44.000 Now, the ADL does this all under the guise of fighting anti-Semitism.
00:04:50.000 They basically say that you are not allowed to criticize the ADL or any of their activities. 0.95
00:04:56.000 And if you do, then you must hate Jews. 0.96
00:04:58.000 Now, let me just say this. 0.96
00:05:00.000 This is one of my most frustrating developments in the modern narrative war: how you're somehow not allowed to criticize an organization or a person because all of a sudden they'll say, Well, I'm Jewish.
00:05:14.000 You're not allowed to say anything.
00:05:16.000 This goes with George Soros, for example.
00:05:18.000 Anytime that you criticize George Soros, they say, Oh, you're an anti-Semite.
00:05:23.000 No, actually, George Soros is, first of all, not serious about his Judaism.
00:05:26.000 Second, he's an atheist.
00:05:27.000 Second of all, we're not criticizing him because he's Jewish. 0.99
00:05:30.000 We're criticizing him because he's evil. 0.95
00:05:34.000 Now, the ADL has, in the last couple of years, taken an even more radical turn.
00:05:39.000 They've become vicious.
00:05:41.000 And quite honestly, they themselves have become a hate group.
00:05:47.000 They wear the costume of, quote, fighting hate for good.
00:05:51.000 ADL fights all forms of anti-Semitism and bias using innovation and partnerships to drive impact.
00:05:57.000 They might say, well, Charlie, how does this impact me?
00:05:59.000 We might have this tape here.
00:06:00.000 We'll find it.
00:06:01.000 Jonathan Greenblatt argues, he brags in his Zoom calls that they talk to the FBI every single day.
00:06:12.000 The ADL is an adjunct to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, telling them of what extremists to find, what people that you have to try to suppress.
00:06:22.000 You go to the ADL website, for example, they say hate on display, quote, a hate symbol.
00:06:27.000 It's okay to be white. 0.97
00:06:28.000 If you say that, it's a hate symbol. 0.98
00:06:30.000 They argue that child pornography or pornography for children is perfectly fine.
00:06:35.000 In fact, it's phenomenal.
00:06:37.000 ADL.org.
00:06:38.000 Children's literature can open doors to exploring important topics and concepts.
00:06:42.000 ADL Education has compiled a list of LGBTQ Pride-themed books for Pride Month.
00:06:50.000 The resource also includes discussion guides for educators and families.
00:06:53.000 So there is far radical left on the cultural Marxist spectrum, as you could imagine.
00:06:59.000 Now, some people might say, What is the zinger here?
00:07:02.000 Why does this impact me?
00:07:04.000 Because the ADL has been behind almost every major censorship campaign, successful one that we have seen in the last couple of years.
00:07:14.000 And they do this all around the, they wear camouflage.
00:07:19.000 They say, well, we're fighting anti-Semitism.
00:07:21.000 And they all work together, the ACLU, the SPLC, the ADL.
00:07:26.000 You must understand that these 501c3 nonprofits that are funded by major corporations, billionaire donors, donor-advised funds, their full-time job is to try to wage war on the United States Constitution.
00:07:39.000 These are formerly civil rights groups that have become commissars for the Marxist regime.
00:07:45.000 They become captured.
00:07:46.000 These are groups that used to fight for decency and goodness and free speech.
00:07:51.000 They don't believe in any of that stuff anymore.
00:07:54.000 No, it's all about waging war on quote-unquote the neo-fascist right.
00:08:00.000 It's a subterranean clandestine effort to undermine our constitution.
00:08:06.000 These people are venom in our discourse.
00:08:09.000 And a lot of people are afraid to call out the ADL because they don't want to be called an anti-Semite.
00:08:16.000 Of all the accusations that I laugh off the most is when people call me an anti-Semite.
00:08:23.000 It's honestly hilarious.
00:08:25.000 And that's how you guys should handle any of these accusations.
00:08:29.000 Just laugh at it.
00:08:29.000 When Jonathan Greenblatt or the ADL says, Charlie Kirk is an anti-Semite, it's like, you have no idea what you're talking about.
00:08:36.000 You're a bigot. 0.72
00:08:38.000 And by the way, don't spend too much time defending yourself. 0.95
00:08:40.000 It's a waste of time.
00:08:41.000 I know who I am.
00:08:42.000 I know what I believe.
00:08:44.000 I know my respect for the Jewish people, for the Torah, for Israel, my admiration of some of the most amazing Jews in public life.
00:08:54.000 But I'm not going to stop short of criticizing the ADL because you guys are going to say, oh, you're an anti-Semite because you criticize the ADL.
00:09:03.000 They weaponize name-calling.
00:09:05.000 It's the same exact way.
00:09:06.000 The ADL and BLM use the same exact playbook.
00:09:12.000 So now Elon Musk is speaking out against them.
00:09:17.000 This story has been growing and growing and growing over the weekend where we are one of the first Twitter accounts to really put a light and an accelerant on saying that the ADL really needs to be put on defense.
00:09:32.000 In fact, Elon Musk is now saying he's going to sue the Anti-Defamation League for defamation.
00:09:38.000 Just so you understand, this is what the ADL does.
00:09:40.000 They threaten people who don't get in line with their ideology and they try to destroy your life.
00:09:45.000 Finally, there's some fight in the conservative movement.
00:09:47.000 It doesn't matter what names you call us.
00:09:51.000 I want to talk about relieffactor.com.

00:10:28.000 Just listen to Jonathan Greenblatt, the CEO of the Anti-Defamation League.
00:10:34.000 He's a cheerleader for the FBI.
00:10:37.000 He's a cheerleader for the Intel agencies.
00:10:39.000 Start to see how this all comes together.
00:10:41.000 The ADL is a uniparty regime defender.
00:10:47.000 And look at him basically slobber over FBI Director Christopher Wray.
00:10:53.000 Listen carefully.
00:10:54.000 Play cut 14.
00:10:55.000 It is the FBI that works directly with the ADL every day.
00:10:59.000 And we could not do our job, if you will, of fighting anti-Semitism without them doing their job of protecting our community.
00:11:06.000 So, Director Ray, we are in your, we really, really have the deepest appreciation for you and all of your professionals.
00:11:13.000 Thank you for the work that you do.
00:11:14.000 Thank you, Jonathan.
00:11:16.000 Thank you for what you do.
00:11:17.000 The ADL has become an extension of the administrative state.
00:11:21.000 The ADL is captured by these radical Marxists who are using these institutions under the guise of, well, we just fight.
00:11:33.000 Hey, even they themselves become the nastiest organizations you could imagine.
00:11:39.000 So over the weekend, Elon Musk then amplified call to ban the ADL from X.
00:11:44.000 But how does the Times of Israel, this drives me crazy, how they cover this?
00:11:51.000 The jpost.com, timesofisrael.com.
00:11:55.000 This does you guys no good.
00:11:58.000 For those of you that care about the welfare and the well-being of the Jewish people, which I certainly care about outspokenly, it does you no good to cover stories this way.
00:12:11.000 Times of Israel.
00:12:12.000 Elon Musk amplifies call by anti-Semites to ban the ADL from X.
00:12:18.000 Well, that's quite a headline.
00:12:21.000 Call by anti-Semites.
00:12:23.000 Are you trying to call me an anti-Semite?
00:12:25.000 Of course they are, because they don't actually want to get down to the details that the ADL is a smear organization. 0.97
00:12:32.000 They are a hate organization.
00:12:34.000 So what do they do?
00:12:35.000 They say, well, Elon Musk is amplifying a call by anti-Semites.
00:12:40.000 Could you imagine if they used that way of writing headlines?
00:12:44.000 Here would be a great headline.
00:12:46.000 House of Representatives passes bill supported by anti-Semites.
00:12:50.000 Oh, well, that sounds pretty bad.
00:12:52.000 Well, Elon Omar voted for it. 1.00
00:12:53.000 She hates Jews. 0.88
00:12:55.000 So could you imagine if they used that sort of headline writing for anything else? 0.97
00:13:02.000 No, but they use that intentionally because they think the ADL is untouchable because they get to play the anti-Semite card.
00:13:09.000 Oh, you're an anti-Semite if you dare question us. 1.00
00:13:11.000 Screw you. 0.99
00:13:13.000 Elon Musk is engaging with white nationalists and anti-Semites who ban the Anti-Defamation League from Twitter on the influential social media platform he now calls X. 0.99
00:13:23.000 This is Timesofisrael.com.
00:13:27.000 This is such sloppy journalism.
00:13:30.000 This doesn't do anybody any good.
00:13:32.000 This creates resentment, is what it does.
00:13:35.000 They say, this onslaught comes following our participation in the 60th anniversary of the March on Washington.
00:13:42.000 Yeah, why is it that we hate the ADL so much?
00:13:45.000 They say, well, it's because we're Jews.
00:13:47.000 No, it's not. 1.00
00:13:48.000 It's because you're scum rats who want to censor and shut us up. 1.00
00:13:54.000 Play Cut 15. 0.99
00:13:55.000 The ADL, our Center for Technology and Society, works actively with all the kind of companies of Silicon Valley, from Apple to Zoom, if you will, from Amazon to Microsoft to Meta and indeed to Twitter.
00:14:12.000 We've dealt with them for years, helping them tackle the challenges of hate speech on their service.
00:14:18.000 We point things out.
00:14:19.000 We share information.
00:14:21.000 But what we've said again and again and again, and we need these companies to engage constructively, smartly, use their innovation to tackle hate speech.
00:14:31.000 I see that chart you put up.
00:14:33.000 That contradicts what we're seeing at ADL.
00:14:36.000 We've seen anti-Semitic speech stay out there longer than ever before.
00:14:41.000 Just so everybody understands, there's entire armies of religious Jews that loathe the ADL. 0.74
00:14:49.000 The more devout of a Jew that you are, the more loathsome the ADL has become. 1.00
00:14:55.000 I've received text messages from rabbis, from Orthodox Jews all across the planet this weekend thanking me for what we've done against the ADL.
00:15:04.000 And some people are afraid.
00:15:05.000 Some people, the conservative movement, they're like, oh, I don't know if I want to touch the ADL.
00:15:08.000 Why the fear?
00:15:09.000 This is an important lesson, everybody, because they don't want to be called a name.
00:15:14.000 They do not want to be called a name.
00:15:16.000 And of all the bad names you could be called in American society, racist is bad.
00:15:22.000 But honestly, being called an anti-Semite is even worse than being called a racist in certain circles.
00:15:27.000 And people do not want to touch it.
00:15:29.000 I know that's a lie.
00:15:30.000 And anytime in your life you know something is a lie, do not be deterred by the names they could call you.
00:15:36.000 So we leaned in because the ADL doesn't represent Jewish values.
00:15:39.000 They represent secular left-wing values under the camouflage of Judaism. 0.94
00:15:45.000 And it's repulsive.
00:15:49.000 Look, I want to tell you about Donor's Trust.
00:15:50.000 We're sponsored today by them, the principal tax-friendly way to simplify your charitable giving.
00:15:56.000 Fidelity Charitable recently released its latest giving report.
00:15:59.000 According to its report, its account holders recommended in 2022 $11 billion to nonprofits in the mix.
00:16:06.000 Planned Parenthood Foundation of America.
00:16:08.000 In fact, according to the report, Planned Parenthood was the sixth most popular nonprofit among Fidelity charitable account holders last year, six out of nearly 200,000 unique charities.
00:16:19.000 Does that upset you?
00:16:20.000 Well, it upsets me too.
00:16:21.000 The good news is that if you have a Fidelity Charitable Giving Account, it's not too late to roll over your charitable dollars to a giving account provider that shares your values.
00:16:30.000 Roll over your giving to Donor's Trust so you can actually help expectant mothers and families in crisis.
00:16:36.000 I love Donor's Trust.
00:16:37.000 Donors' Trust givers have recommended grants to dozens of pro-life organizations and crisis pregnancy centers, including Priests for Life, Students for Life, Susan B. Anthony, List Education Fund, Americans United for Life, CareNet, and others.
00:16:49.000 Visit donorstrust.org/slash Charlie to learn more about Donor's Trust.
00:16:53.000 We work with them very closely.
00:16:54.000 I really like them.
00:16:55.000 If you are giving money away from now to the end of the year, you guys should look at Donor's Trust as a way to set up a donor-advised fund.
00:17:02.000 That is donorstrust.com/slash Charlie to discover how you can partner with a giving account provider that shares your values.
00:17:08.000 That's donorstrust.org/slash Charlie.
00:17:13.000 Joining us now is Will Scharf, who's running for Attorney General of Missouri.
00:17:16.000 I'm 100% behind him.
00:17:17.000 He's a great man.
00:17:18.000 Will, thank you for joining.
00:17:20.000 The topic we want to talk about today, though, is the Anti-Defamation League, ADL.
00:17:27.000 And what they've been doing the last couple of years is reprehensible.
00:17:30.000 They are the linchpin of the censorship industrial complex in more ways than one.
00:17:37.000 Now, Will, you're Jewish, and you know, they say that you're not allowed to attack the ADL.
00:17:44.000 If you do, you're an anti-Semite.
00:17:46.000 How should we think about the ADL?
00:17:48.000 The floor is yours, Will Scharf.
00:17:50.000 Yeah, look, you know, the ADL is an organization that was founded to fight anti-Semitism, but now it operates mostly as an organization that just seeks to advance leftism.
00:18:00.000 You never hear them say a word about the BDS movement on campuses, which has threatened and imperiled Jewish students on college campuses all across America.
00:18:10.000 But every time there's a leftist cause, they jump to the forefront and attach their name to it.
00:18:15.000 I think this has become particularly true since 2015, when a guy named Jonathan Greenblatt, who used to be a special assistant to Barack Obama, took over the group.
00:18:25.000 But the ADL is a sad shell of what it once was.
00:18:28.000 It should be condemned by all for what they're doing, whether it's on censorship or just generally promoting leftism.
00:18:34.000 And I think Elon Musk is exactly right that it's time for a reckoning.
00:18:39.000 So kind of just talk about they're incredibly aggressive, and they say that their mission statement is to fight anti-Semitism.
00:18:48.000 And I actually, I mean, I am all on board for fighting anti-Semitism, legitimately.
00:18:53.000 I actually think they do a disservice in that fight.
00:18:55.000 And I'll give you an example.
00:18:56.000 They have here on their website that numbers 1 through 11, 109, 110, 12, 13, 13, 52, 1390, 14, 1423, 212.
00:19:07.000 Literally, it's like 50 numbers are hate symbols.
00:19:10.000 I mean, Will, at some point, they're getting to a place where there's a supply and demand problem here.
00:19:17.000 While you ignore the legitimate Jew hatred of Elon Omar and Rashida Talib in the Democrat Party, they're trying to tell us that basically half the numbers, 1 to 100, are hate symbols.
00:19:28.000 Yeah, look, it's an organization that's just tragically lost its way.
00:19:33.000 It was founded, obviously, in the early 1900s when there was certainly a lot more anti-Semitism in America than there is today.
00:19:40.000 I think organizations like that can serve a valuable purpose, calling out legitimate anti-Semitism like we've seen from Elon Omar, as you said.
00:19:49.000 But what that organization exists to do right now is just advance leftist dogma and shut down any speech on the right under the guise of combating anti-Semitism.
00:20:00.000 You know, you may know a couple months ago, my friend Josh Hammer and I founded a group called Jews Against Soros.
00:20:07.000 Yeah, it was great.
00:20:07.000 Because every time someone on the right, every time a conservative criticizes George Soros, they get attacked and condemned as anti-Semite.
00:20:15.000 We don't oppose George Soros because he's Jewish. 0.95
00:20:18.000 We oppose him because he's an evil man who's done terrible things to the world.
00:20:24.000 But that's the sort of campaign that the ADL has been involved in is tarring and feathering conservatives for speaking out against Soros.
00:20:33.000 And it's just, it's wrong.
00:20:35.000 And so can you also just explain to our audience, you know, in serious religious Jewish circles, the ADL is not very well respected.
00:20:35.000 Yeah.
00:20:43.000 The ADL is pushing forward very radical ideas on gender and sexuality and politics.
00:20:52.000 Is it fair to say that the ADL operates a lot more as a political activist group for kind of almost quasi-cultural Marxist ideas than anything to actually fight Jew hatred?
00:21:04.000 Yeah, there's nothing, almost nothing uniquely Jewish about the organization anymore.
00:21:09.000 It's just another leftist auxiliary in the political wars that we're fighting on any number of fronts.
00:21:16.000 Now, this is an organization that, as I said, was founded with great motives, but you know this as well as anybody.
00:21:21.000 All organizations, all institutions that are not explicitly conservative have become leftist over time at those Sullivan's first law.
00:21:29.000 That's what we've seen with the ADL.
00:21:31.000 It's a particularly stark example of it.
00:21:33.000 I want to play a piece of tape here.
00:21:35.000 This is cut 14, ADL saying they work at the FBI every single day.
00:21:41.000 Play cut 14.
00:21:42.000 It is the FBI that works directly with the ADL every day.
00:21:46.000 And we could not do our job, if you will, of fighting anti-Semitism without them doing their job of protecting our community.
00:21:53.000 So, Director Ray, we are in your, we really, really have the deepest appreciation for you and all of your professionals.
00:22:00.000 Thank you for the work that you do.
00:22:02.000 Thank you, Jonathan.
00:22:03.000 Thank you for what you do.
00:22:05.000 So I want to broaden this for a second, Will, that I think is interesting.
00:22:09.000 You have the SPLC, you have the ADL, you have the ACLU.
00:22:13.000 Talk for a second how there is this infrastructure of 501c3 nonprofits that almost do, or they've become the research arm for the police state and the administrative state.
00:22:24.000 Will Scharf.
00:22:25.000 Yeah, so as we've taken back the courts under President Trump, as the conservative legal movement has made it progressively tougher for government actors to engage in political censorship, to engage in political discrimination, the left has been remarkably effective at using nonprofits, primarily 501c3s, as you said, to do the job that they could use government censors for a generation or two ago.
00:22:51.000 So whether it's the ADL, whether it's the ACLU, they all believe themselves to be a part of this bigger network, and they view their goal as ensuring leftist hegemony all across America and every facet of our lives.
00:23:06.000 The guy on that clip that you just showed, that's Jonathan Greenblatt, the head of the ADL.
00:23:12.000 He was a special assistant to Barack Obama.
00:23:14.000 He's never worked with Jewish organizations before becoming the head of the ADL.
00:23:20.000 He was put in there to take that organization in a leftist direction, and that's exactly what he's done.
00:23:25.000 That's what's so scary about the way the modern left is organized and what we ultimately all need to be willing to fight against.
00:23:31.000 So I want you to elaborate on that.
00:23:33.000 A really smart point, Will, that I haven't heard anybody make is that because of work that you did and Leonard Leo and Federalist Society really taking the courts seriously the last 20 or 30 years, all of a sudden being able to outwardly use the blunt force instrument of government has become harder, thankfully, right?
00:23:49.000 Not impossible, but harder. 0.52
00:23:50.000 We still have the stuff with Trump, which is ridiculous.
00:23:52.000 But what you're saying, though, is that in the last couple of years, the nonprofits pivoted and changed their strategy.
00:23:59.000 For example, the SPLC go after credit card processors.
00:24:03.000 They went all in on that, right?
00:24:05.000 So that you're not allowed to use Visa if you're on our hate list.
00:24:08.000 Like, that's a really weird but creative and darn effective way of doing this.
00:24:13.000 So talk for a second, Will, that the modern left, they use lists, they use rankings as then this fake standard to be able to then prohibit very basic activities and freedoms: banking, access to social media, credit card processing, Will Sharf.
00:24:34.000 And they also buy brands, Charlie.
00:24:36.000 I mean, that's what we've seen with SPLC, with ADL.
00:24:40.000 What they do is they take the NAACP, frankly, they take established brands with a history and civil rights fight or other causes that at one time were noble causes, and they leverage those brands to wage political warfare in highly leveraged, highly effective, oftentimes ways against us.
00:25:02.000 The SBLC hate list started out as calling out neo-Nazis and folks like that.
00:25:08.000 They took it in a direction where the Alliance Defending Freedom, major pro-religion, pro-religious liberty nonprofits were suddenly deemed hate groups.
00:25:18.000 It's the same with what we've seen with the ADL, where anyone they don't like, they just are as an anti-Semite now, like Elon Musk.
00:25:26.000 But this is all part of a much bigger network of organizations and a much bigger plan on the part of the left.
00:25:32.000 And that's where you get into the Soros network, the Arabella Advisors Network.
00:25:38.000 They have effectively insulated themselves from a lot of the victories we've been able to achieve politically and with the courts in the last two decades because their key actors are no longer governmental actors.
00:25:50.000 They're private actors working in this highly effective network way to shut down conservative speech and to imperil conservative organizations doing really good, important work.
00:26:01.000 And it's too bad because it cheapens, it waters down the necessary, but should be rarely used, but pointed label of an anti-Semite.
00:26:13.000 There are Jew haters out there.
00:26:15.000 There are.
00:26:16.000 But if everyone becomes an anti-Semite, then the word means nothing.
00:26:19.000 And that's too bad because then there's no differential, there's no distinction.
00:26:24.000 When they call me an anti-Semite, first of all, it's not true.
00:26:26.000 And I just laugh it off, but then it's also really sad.
00:26:29.000 It's like then someone who actually does hate Jews, they'll be able to say, oh, well, everyone is that, then no one is.
00:26:37.000 Time to take a stand for life, everybody.
00:26:38.000 We can say we're pro-life, but what does that actually mean?
00:26:41.000 In a pro-Roe versus Wade world, there are states that are more radically pro-death than ever before, aborting babies up until the moment they draw their first breath.
00:26:50.000 We have a word for that.
00:26:51.000 It's called murder.
00:26:52.000 The Biden regime is more radically pro-abortion than any other in American history.
00:26:56.000 They celebrate abortions the way we celebrate life. 0.94
00:26:59.000 It's time to do something that we know will make a difference.
00:27:02.000 That is providing ultrasounds with pre-born.
00:27:04.000 When a pregnant girl sees her baby on an ultrasound machine and hears that baby's heartbeat, she's twice as likely to choose life.
00:27:11.000 Just $28 provides that ultrasound and saves one baby.
00:27:14.000 $140 saves five.
00:27:16.000 A gift of $15,000 provides an ultrasound machine that can save literally thousands of babies for years to come.
00:27:21.000 I donate to this cause and you should too.
00:27:24.000 Call 833-850-2229 or click on the pre-born banner at charliekirk.com.
00:27:29.000 Become a donor, charliekirk.com and click on the pre-born banner.
00:27:35.000 Will, I was making a point that when you use a label too much, it loses its meaning.
00:27:39.000 That is certainly the ADL is very guilty of that.
00:27:42.000 Your thoughts.
00:27:42.000 Yeah, look, you know, calling someone a racist who's actually racist should have power and should have meaning.
00:27:49.000 But when folks on the left just call every conservative, every Republican a racist, when they call Mitt Romney, the most milquetoast guy on the planet, a racist, it destroys the power of the word and it takes any meaning, any comprehensibility out of it.
00:28:05.000 I mean, to me, that's doing far more damage to the real fight against racism or anti-Semitism in our world than just about anything else.
00:28:15.000 That, as you said before, if everybody's a racist, nobody is.
00:28:19.000 And that's a tragedy.
00:28:21.000 So we have some exclusive footage here of Jonathan Greenblatt at a diner in New York City, PlayCut 23.
00:28:27.000 Well, look at this.
00:28:30.000 I told them medium rare.
00:28:32.000 It's medium.
00:28:34.000 It happens. 0.91
00:28:34.000 I bet that cook is an anti-Semite. 0.91
00:28:36.000 Can't see you.
00:28:37.000 He has no idea who you are.
00:28:39.000 They don't just overcook a hamburger, Jared.
00:28:42.000 Fine.
00:28:43.000 Anyway, the point I was making before Goebbels made your hamburger here is this.
00:28:48.000 A man like you could be dating women 20 years younger.
00:28:51.000 Blame me.
00:28:52.000 I thought about it.
00:28:53.000 But she is so perfect in every way.
00:28:56.000 I can't see a floor.
00:28:57.000 Well, keep looking.
00:29:00.000 That was never before seen footage, Will, of Jonathan Greenblatt having a burger.
00:29:04.000 Your thoughts?
00:29:05.000 Yeah, so the only difference between that and the ADL is the ADL wouldn't have called the cook an anti-Semite unless they knew he was a Republican.
00:29:12.000 No, that's exactly right.
00:29:13.000 They would have asked for his voter registration and they would have shut down the restaurant is what they would have.
00:29:18.000 I mean, that's the crazy thing: that literally every group they call out, every person they call out is somebody on the right.
00:29:25.000 You and I know that there are plenty of anti-Semites on the left.
00:29:28.000 Some of the most vicious anti-Semitism, some of the most damaging anti-Semitism in America today comes from the left.
00:29:34.000 And the ADL is silent on it.
00:29:36.000 And to me, that's just a damning indictment of where the organization is at.
00:29:40.000 And it's a terrible, terrible statement on where they've arrived at the point they've arrived at after being started with, I think, once noble intentions.
00:29:51.000 One of the reasons why Seinfeld is one of the most effective shows ever is it was self-deprecating about kind of single Jewish culture in New York in the 1990s.
00:30:00.000 And in some ways, Seinfeld would warn about something that would be happening in certain, and he's basically the subtext of that is like, hey, guys, you can't call everything anti-Semite, the Semitic, right?
00:30:10.000 That's the subtext of that 30-second clip there because it's obviously outrageous, right?
00:30:15.000 You don't just overcook a burger.
00:30:16.000 It's like, hold on, there's other things at play here.
00:30:20.000 And, you know, Seinfeld does it in such a lighthearted, hilarious way where he just interjects there.
00:30:26.000 And what's important, though, is, and you make the most critical point, is that they'll ignore the blatant Jew hatred if the card says Democrat.
00:30:37.000 If they use the card, the card says Democrat, they're like, oh, well, maybe we can work with you.
00:30:42.000 I went to the ADL website in the break.
00:30:44.000 There is not a whisper about the Muslim Jew hatred, about Elon Omar, about BDS.
00:30:51.000 Nothing at all.
00:30:52.000 Nothing.
00:30:53.000 But there is just, if you just look at the ADL website, you would think that one of the major American political parties is neo-Nazis.
00:31:03.000 Final thoughts, Will Sharf.
00:31:05.000 Yeah, the ADL condemned me and Josh Hammer for founding Jews against Soros.
00:31:10.000 I mean, we're both practicing Jews.
00:31:13.000 For us to call out Soros's politics was to them akin to anti-Semitism. 0.70
00:31:17.000 It's just patently absurd.
00:31:19.000 It has to stop.
00:31:20.000 And as conservatives, we need to band together against exactly this sort of left-wing activism masked however they decide to mask it.
00:31:29.000 Will Scharf running for Attorney General from Missouri.
00:31:31.000 Great work.
00:31:31.000 Thanks so much.
00:31:32.000 Thanks for having me on, Charlie.
00:31:33.000 Good to see you.
00:31:34.000 You know, I'm a big fan of Seinfeld, Frasier, and The Office.
00:31:40.000 The Office got worse after a couple of seasons.
00:31:42.000 Let me be very clear.
00:31:43.000 The first couple seasons of The Office are exceptional.
00:31:46.000 I can pinpoint just on the top of my head 10 or 12 episodes of Frasier, Seinfeld, or The Office that would not be allowed on television today, would not be allowed.
00:31:58.000 One, for example, if you want to see how America has become a less fun country, a less free country, I encourage you to watch a single episode called Diversity Day. 0.98
00:32:14.000 Do you know what I'm talking about, guys?
00:32:16.000 It is one of the most irreverent, hilarious, politically incorrect.
00:32:21.000 You cannot believe that it was allowed on television, on NBC, just 10 or 12 or 13 or 14 years ago.
00:32:30.000 It is laugh out loud, hilarious.
00:32:32.000 But why is it that America has become less fun?
00:32:34.000 Well, it's because as a country becomes more totalitarian, humor is a threat to tyranny because humor is the truth.
00:32:41.000 That's why people laugh when things are true.
00:32:44.000 We've stopped laughing as a country.
00:32:45.000 We're very serious all the time.
00:32:46.000 Our late night shows are a bunch of seal barking, clapping.
00:32:49.000 Yay, Jimmy Kimmel.
00:32:50.000 Yay, person that I don't even know, Stephen Colbert, vaccine shill.
00:32:57.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
00:32:59.000 Email us your thoughts.
00:32:59.000 As always, freedom at charliekirk.com.
