Verdict with Ted Cruz

Dems Cheer Domestic Terrorism against Tesla, plus Trump Orders Abolish the Department of Education

Fri, 21 Mar 2025

Description

Domestic Terrorism Against Tesla: We discuss the recent surge in violence and arson targeting Tesla, which Elon Musk has described as unprecedented coordinated violence against a peaceful company. We highlight the political context, suggesting that the Democratic Party is characterized by anger and hatred, particularly towards figures like Elon Musk and Donald Trump. Mentioning specific incidents of arson and vandalism against Tesla vehicles and properties, including the use of Molotov cocktails and firearms. We criticizes prominent Democrats, including Tim Walz, for allegedly encouraging or not condemning these acts of violence. Also we reference a podcast interview with Elon Musk where these issues were discussed in detail. We concludes with a note on the legal actions being taken against those involved in the attacks on Tesla properties. Trump's Executive Order to Abolish the Department of Education: Donald Trump's executive order to shut down the Department of Education, aiming to return control over education to states and local districts. We argue that the current federal spending on education is inefficient and that the U.S. ranks poorly in educational outcomes despite high per-pupil spending. We support school choice and criticizes the federal Department of Education for pushing a "woke" agenda. Statements from Trump and other supporters who believe that abolishing the Department of Education will improve educational outcomes by reducing bureaucracy and increasing local control. Also we discuss the potential impact on school choice and how it could benefit students by fostering competition among schools. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Chapter 1: What are the major issues discussed in this episode?

1.189 - 21.647 Ben Ferguson

We've got two major issues we're going to deal with today on the show. Number one, it's incredible, Donald Trump's executive order on the Department of Education to shut it down. What this is going to do for parents with school choice and giving the power back to the states, plus the amount of money we're spending per pupil is more than any else in the world.

21.787 - 42.816 Ben Ferguson

And where do we rank when it comes to education? In many of the areas at the very bottom, we're going to break that down for you also. And then the other big issue, and it deals with Tesla. And Senator, let's start with what Elon Musk just tweeted out. He put a tweet out, said, quote, Has there ever been such a level of coordinated violence against a peaceful company? Question mark.

0

43.276 - 53.799 Ben Ferguson

I understand not wanting to buy a product, but this extreme arson in destruction is what we're witnessing right now as the left has gone to war with Tesla.

0

54.902 - 71.786 Senator Ted Cruz

It really is astonishing. And let me say, first of all, for those of you, if any of you did not listen to the interview that we did with Elon Musk, we went to the White House, we spent over an hour one-on-one with Elon Musk. We put it out as a two-part podcast. Part of it was on Monday, part of it was on Wednesday.

0

71.846 - 90.694 Senator Ted Cruz

If you didn't listen to it, you can listen to it by downloading the podcast, or you can watch it on YouTube. If you didn't listen to it or watch it, I would encourage you to. It was fascinating. fascinating. It was one of the most important podcasts we've ever done. And so you don't want to miss it. You don't want to miss both parts. It broke news. It drove news nationally.

90.795 - 109.367 Senator Ted Cruz

And it really was Elon revealing who he is. And one of the things we talked about was the violence and domestic terrorism directed towards Tesla. Well, in the days since that interview, it's only gotten worse. I got to say, today's Democrat Party is characterized by rage, and hatred.

109.767 - 131.462 Senator Ted Cruz

As best I can tell, they don't stand for much of anything other than their radical agenda of open borders and releasing violent criminals, murderers, and rapists, and child molesters, and boys and girls sports, and radical gender ideology, and anti-Semitism, and undermining Israel. That seems to be the unifying policy behind the Democrats, but the unifying...

132.182 - 158.401 Senator Ted Cruz

Their motivation right now is this inchoate anger and rage and hate. And they hate, hate, hate Donald J. Trump. And to be honest, they hate, hate, hate the voters who voted for Donald J. Trump. But they've now projected much of that anger and hate on Elon Musk. And so Trump derangement syndrome is a very real thing. And Elon derangement syndrome is a very real thing.

158.941 - 182.487 Senator Ted Cruz

And understand, when the left hates something, they engage in violence. We've seen this with the anti-Semitic pro-Hamas protest on campuses where violence has erupted. We've seen this with the Black Lives Matter and Antifa riots across the country where we saw protests. Police cars firebombed and stores looted and police officers murdered. And we saw rampant violence.

Chapter 2: Why is there violence against Tesla?

411.911 - 420.655 Senator Ted Cruz

In The Daily Show, they're talking about the domestic terrorism that is playing out against Tesla. And listen to the crowd's reaction. Give a listen.

0

421.436 - 432.683 Daily Show Host

Jim, they're taking to the streets or the parking lots. Tonight, the FBI and ATF now investigating multiple cases of possible arson targeting Teslas and Cybertrucks.

0

432.903 - 444.052 Unknown Speaker 1

This dramatic video shows multiple cars in flames. Police say the attacker used Molotov cocktails. It's the latest in more than a dozen instances of arson and vandalism targeting Tesla.

0

444.132 - 454.8 Unknown Speaker 3

The same suspect shot more Teslas with a gun. Tesla Cybertrucks were set on fire in Kansas City. And earlier this month, shots fired at a Tesla dealership in Oregon. Cybertrucks on fire in Seattle.

455.202 - 457.764 Daily Show Host

Wow, you guys like petty acts of domestic terrorism, huh?

459.605 - 463.708 Ben Ferguson

Petty acts of terrorism, Senator. Cool, right? Like, let's cheer for that. Why not?

465.537 - 491.715 Senator Ted Cruz

it's striking. So at the end there, that's the Daily Show host. That's the comedian. And he's a little bit like, holy crap, like when he says, wow, you guys like petty acts of domestic terrorism. They're cheering for it. They're happy. And by the way, it ain't petty. The last I checked, arson is not petty. Throwing Molotov cocktails is not petty. Firing guns at Tesla dealership is not petty.

491.755 - 520.242 Senator Ted Cruz

People are going to be killed. Firing a gun at a dealership, you know, there are people who work there. And the left, this is something they celebrate, they revel in. It's reminiscent of this Luigi clown who murdered the senior executive, health care executive. We did a podcast at the time how the left was celebrating murder. They were happy to see him murdered, the anti-capitalist left.

521.222 - 550.118 Senator Ted Cruz

They hate their opponents and they are willing to cheer the murder of their opponents. And we're seeing here, this is domestic violence. Now, here's some good news. The Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that three Tesla arson defendants are going to face the full force of law. And for using Molotov cocktails to set fire to electric vehicles and charging statements. Pam Bondi said, quote,

Chapter 3: What are the political implications of violence against Tesla?

1021.073 - 1036.442 Senator Ted Cruz

Well, that's right. So on Thursday, President Trump issued an executive order calling for the Department of Education to be abolished and calling for the money and the authority to be sent back to the states and sent back to the local districts. Now...

0

1037.262 - 1058.705 Senator Ted Cruz

The corrupt corporate media being what it is, whenever you hear the words abolish the Department of Education, what they transmute that into is abolish education. And they try to say that means that Republicans are opposed to education. It's exactly the opposite. And I just pose a simple question. Where do you want the money going?

0

1059.246 - 1081.198 Senator Ted Cruz

Do you want the money going to parents and kids and teachers to have excellent education? Or do you want the money going to woke radical bureaucrats in Washington who are putting red tape and strangling our schools and our education? That's the choice because the Department of Education, there ain't nobody at the Federal Department of Education that is teaching your kids.

0

1081.758 - 1108.307 Senator Ted Cruz

There ain't nobody that is in Mrs. Smith's sixth grade class that is teaching reading or writing arithmetic. But what there are is a bunch of bureaucrats that are putting paperwork in place, that are putting burdens in place. And it is, particularly under Joe Biden, the Department of Education was weaponized. It was weaponized to push an extreme woke agenda. It was weaponized to push DEI.

0

1108.347 - 1119.411 Senator Ted Cruz

It was weaponized to push boys and girls sports. It was weaponized to push their extreme transgender ideology. And the president is following through.

1119.431 - 1145.381 Senator Ted Cruz

So the executive order directs the Secretary of Education to take all necessary steps to facilitate the closure of the Department of Education and to return education authority to the states while continuing to ensure the effective and uninterrupted delivery of services, programs, and benefits on which Americans rely. So again, the corrupt corporate media will say, well, this will halt education.

1145.621 - 1167.672 Senator Ted Cruz

funding for low-income kids this will halt funding for kids with disabilities when you hear that on cnn know that they're lying to you know that they're deliberately lying to you they know they're lying to you you should know they're lying to you this is designed to keep the funding there but have the decision making at the state and local level and a huge part of that

1168.763 - 1186.986 Senator Ted Cruz

is to facilitate school choice. And we're going to do a deeper dive into school choice in a moment. But I got to say, this executive order is a big, big deal from the president. He announced it surrounded by governors because it's going to be the governors now who are going to be in charge and the states in charge of the education policies in their states.

1187.466 - 1196.908 Ben Ferguson

Yeah, and I want to play just a little bit of what Donald Trump had to say at this announcement, as you mentioned, with those governors signing this executive order, shutting down the education department. Take a listen.
