Episode Description

Political violence is escalating as leftists increasingly use swatting as a weapon to target their opponents, putting lives at risk in an attempt to silence dissent. Meanwhile, coordinated attacks on Tesla facilities and Tesla drivers expose the left’s growing intolerance toward those who don’t conform to their ideology. In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano breaks down how these dangerous tactics represent a disturbing trend of political extremism and why those responsible must be held accountable. This movement isn’t about protecting “democracy.” Despite the left claiming this is a form of protest and resistance to President Trump and Elon Musk, it’s really a movement to eliminate freedom of thought and intimidate anyone who dares to challenge the leftist narrative. With zero tolerance for these criminal actions, it’s time to call out the hypocrisy and demand real consequences.

Episode Highlights:

• Swatting as a Political Weapon – How leftists are using swatting to terrorize their opponents and why it’s only a matter of time before someone gets killed.
• Coordinated Tesla Attacks – Examining the growing violence against Tesla facilities and drivers, exposing the left’s intolerance.
• The Left’s Embrace of Political Intimidation – How these incidents fit into a larger pattern of using threats, destruction, and violence to silence dissent.
• The Authoritarian Left – How those who claim to fight “fascism” are actually the ones that promote it with their attempts to silence dissent and attack free thought.

[Auto-Generated Transcript]

Hello everyone, and welcome to The P.A.S. Report Podcast. I’m your host, Professor Nick Giordano. Be sure to follow and subscribe to the podcast so you never miss an episode, and head over to pasreport.com to sign up for my newsletter, read the show notes, and share the episode with family and friends.

I have a great episode lined up for you, but before I get to the heart of the episode, I have a few announcements. I am switching things up a little. Normally the interview episodes go out on Mondays and the monologue episodes go out on Wednesdays.

Going forward, the monologue episodes will go out on Mondays and the interview episodes will go out on Wednesdays. This will work better because it will set up the week and what to look forward to.

Also, I am very excited to announce the launch of the America’s Founding Series, which will begin this Thursday. Each week, on Thursdays, I will release a quick 15-minute episode that takes you through the principles, people, and events that shaped America. This isn’t the watered-down, revisionist history you get in schools today. This is the real story of our nation’s founding, told in a way that’s engaging, informative, and relevant to today. In this series, we’ll explore many of the forgotten figures, great American patriots, who helped forge the greatest country in history.

The reason this series is so important is because it restores the true history of our nation’s founding free from ideological agendas. It reconnects Americans with the principles that made us such an exceptional nation, and it gives credit to the forgotten patriots and their ideas that shaped America but are rarely covered.

So spread the word. Share America’s Founding Series with your friends, your children, your family, and anyone who values this America and its history. The first episode drops this Thursday, so make sure you’re subscribed and ready.

Now, moving on to today’s episode, I want to focus on how some on the left are unhinged and out of control. This is a dangerous situation where they are resorting to increasingly extreme tactics to silence and intimidate their opponents. One of the most alarming trends we’re seeing is the rise of swatting.

For those of you who may not know, swatting is a deliberate, malicious act where someone falsely reports a threat at an individual’s home to provoke an armed police response. This isn’t just harassment. If this continues, sooner or later, someone is going to get seriously injured or killed.

Someone will call the police to claim a mass casualty incident – someone inside the home killing people – with the intent for police to storm the person’s home.

At the same time, we’re also witnessing coordinated attacks on Tesla facilities and Tesla drivers, all because the left is unhappy with Elon Musk and his efforts to root out waste, fraud, abuse, and inefficiencies within our government. Remember, many of these same people used to celebrate Musk, but since he bought Twitter and became a Trump fan, he is now persona non grata.

The same people who claim to fight “fascism” embrace violent, authoritarian tactics to push back, intimidate, and silence those who dare to challenge the status quo or leftist orthodoxy. But understand, this isn’t about protecting what they call “democracy.” It’s not about pushing back against fascism. It’s an effort to punish those who align themselves with President Trump. It’s an attempt to instill fear and eliminate freedom of thought to force ideological conformity through intimidation.

They claim it’s about protest and resistance, but it goes well beyond that. So, today, I’m going to break down these developments, expose the hypocrisy, and explain why we must demand accountability before things spiral even further out of control.

I will get to it all so hang tight, and we will be right back.

Swatting as a Political Weapon

Welcome back to The P.A.S. Report Podcast. So let’s talk about the swatting incidents. This isn’t happening at random. It’s part of a deliberate campaign to intimidate and silence conservative voices.

Every single person who has been targeted by these swatting attacks has been a Republican, a conservative, or someone who has either expressed support for Trump or refuses to bow to the leftist mob. And you can see this is a clear pattern by looking at those who have been targeted.

Radio talk show host Joe Pags – swatted. Infowars host Chase Geiser – swatted. Independent journalist Nick Sortor – swatted. X influencers like Catturd and Gunther Eagleman – swatted. And even our friend from the Loud Majority Shawn Farrash, the master of Trump impressions – swatted. The list keeps growing, and notice that not a single Democrat or leftist commentator has been targeted. That’s not a coincidence.

Let’s be clear: swatting isn’t a joke or a prank. It’s designed to put lives at risk by tricking law enforcement into responding to a fake emergency with guns drawn. If police believe people are being murdered, they will take up tactical positions and attempt to storm the home.

Notice when these swatting attacks happen, always in the dead of night, around 2 or 3 in the morning. That’s not a coincidence. They do this because they want the target to be caught off guard, groggy, and disoriented when a team of armed officers suddenly storms their home. It increases the risk of a tragic outcome.

Imagine being jolted awake by the sound of your front door being smashed in, and officers yelling commands. You have no idea that it’s cops, and neither do your family members, including little kids. And if you hear your door gets smashed in at 2 or 3 in the morning, your instinct is to react, you may grab a firearm thinking it’s intruders. You may not be listening to the officer’s commands because you’re disoriented, but any sudden move could be misinterpreted by police as a threat.

That’s the whole point. They want law enforcement to make a split-second decision that could end in disaster. This isn’t just harassment, it’s an attempted execution by a cop.

The goal is simple: create a situation where someone gets seriously injured or killed. And I really want you to get an idea about how those on the left think. So when Nick Sorter announced that his father’s home was swatted and stated that his father could have been killed, a leftist replied, “So if your dad had died because of you, you wouldn’t have taken any responsibility. You’re asking for “illegals” to have their doors kicked in when that friendly fire also happens to Americans who look like you. You’re not a victim. You are the reason. Stop playing victim.”

This is the logic of these sick and demented people.

Can you imagine sitting at home with your family, maybe your kids are asleep, and suddenly a SWAT team storms your house with rifles drawn because some deranged activist made a false report? That’s the reality for these people. This is political violence, and it’s only a matter of time before it leads to tragedy.

And while swatting is the most dangerous of these tactics, leftists are also engaged in other forms of harassment. One of the more juvenile, but still damaging, things they’re doing is sending random pizza deliveries to people who express support for the Trump administration or conservative policies. They think this is some sort of “troll” move to own Republicans, but they’re not just wasting the time of the person they’re targeting. They’re hurting small business owners.

Think about it: A local pizza shop gets an order for multiple pies, uses their ingredients, pays their employees, and sends out a driver using their gas, only to find out it was a fake order. That’s real money lost for small business owners who are already struggling to stay afloat. The people doing this have zero regard for small businesses, which is ironic considering they always claim to care about the little guy. But their actions show the truth: they only care about power, control, and silencing their opponents.

They believe they are the moral holy warriors of the 21^st century, and that their actions are justified because apparently anyone who doesn’t think like them is subhuman.

But this all points to a bigger issue: there are a lot of people on the left who aren’t interested in debate or discussion. They want to instill fear. They want to use these harassment tactics to make people afraid to speak out. But they’re not going to win. They’re the ones showing their true colors. They also reveal their own hypocrisy as they resort to fascist tactics while claiming to fight fascism.

Thankfully, none of the swatting incidents have ended in tragedy, at least not yet, but we are beginning to see political violence in the name of resistance. We are witnessing coordinated attacks on Tesla facilities and Tesla drivers and it’s all part of the same playbook.

I’ll explain that when we get back from this quick break so hang tight, and we will be right back.

Coordinated Tesla Attacks & the Left’s Intolerance

Welcome back to The P.A.S. Report Podcast. Last segment we covered the swatting, and if that wasn’t enough, we’re also seeing a coordinated wave of attacks on Tesla facilities and even individual Tesla drivers. This isn’t just vandalism, it’s political violence, and even pushes the boundaries of terrorism.

While the word terrorism has been overused and butchered throughout the years, let’s look at what constitutes terrorism. It is the intentional targeting of innocent civilians and property to instill fear and pressure/force the government to change its policies.

Well, isn’t that exactly what the intent is here? Punish Elon Musk all because he supported Trump, and now because he is heading up the DOGE effort to cut the government. It’s a form of intimidation, but it’s not just about Elon Musk, who I will remind everyone was celebrated by the left for years before he purchased Twitter and threw his support behind Donald Trump.

We’re talking about broken windows, Molotov cocktails, arson, and even shootings targeting Tesla dealerships across the country. And while these attacks tend to happen when the dealerships are closed, let’s ask the obvious question: What happens if someone is inside?

Think about the custodial worker cleaning up at night, the salesperson working late to finish paperwork or even a security guard on duty. These are real people, working-class Americans just doing their jobs, and their lives are being put in danger because a group of extremists can’t stand that Elon Musk supports free speech.

But I want to make clear that this goes well beyond Elon Musk. It is also about intimidating ordinary Americans because it’s not just Tesla facilities being targeted. Ordinary people driving Teslas are being harassed and attacked. Some Tesla owners have reported having their cars keyed, tires slashed, and even being run off the road simply because of the car they drive. It’s completely insane.

This is designed to do three things. First, it’s to drive people away from Tesla – no pun intended – and inflict financial pain on the company and put them out of business for political purposes. Secondly, it’s designed to generate backlash among Tesla owners to speak out against Musk. And lastly, it is meant to instill fear in the population. If you are driving a Tesla, you are a target, and if you don’t drive one, you better not consider purchasing one because you will become a target.

But there is real irony in this because think about who the Tesla owners are. Most Tesla owners actually lean left on the political spectrum. The biggest markets for Teslas? New York, California, and other deep-blue states. These aren’t MAGA diehards. They’re the very people leftists claim to represent! But the truth is that the radical left doesn’t care.

They are so consumed by their ideological war that they are now turning on their own. They see ordinary people, who probably voted for Kamala Harris and the Democrats, as acceptable casualties in their war against anyone who refuses to conform to their ideology. It’s pure fanaticism. Some may even say it’s very fascistic.

And this is the difference between Republicans and Conservatives. When we had 8 years of President Obama and 4 years of President Biden, we didn’t see Republicans and Conservatives engaged in this kind of behavior.

No matter how much people disagreed with them or disliked them, we never saw conservatives firebombing leftist businesses. We never saw coordinated attacks on progressive brands like Ben & Jerry’s or Starbucks.

Even when conservative businesses like Hobby Lobby and Chick-fil-A were attacked in the press, the right didn’t respond with violence.

And I want to make it clear that I am not lumping in Democrats with leftists. Ordinary Democrats aren’t radicalized or engage in violence. However, there is a small segment on the left that embraces this type of mob rule. They embrace anarchy and chaos.

They use fear, destruction, and intimidation as political weapons. And when they can’t win the debate, they resort to violence.

And unfortunately, you have an ideologically corrupt media that attempts to downplay or outright ignore these incidents. They call these incidents a form of protest. They call it resistance to fascism. It’s sick and demented.

Also, imagine if the roles were reversed. Imagine if Trump supporters were firebombing businesses because they didn’t like a CEO’s politics, the outrage would be deafening.

For God’s sake, there were calls for parents to be investigated under the PATRIOT because they dared to raise their voices at school board meetings because they were concerned about what their children were learning.

Traditional Catholics were labeled as possible domestic violent extremists all because of their stances on issues like abortion and gender. Some in the FBI even wanted to infiltrate churches to recruit informants.

But when it’s leftist extremists doing the attacking? Crickets.

This is the world we live in now. Swatting, arson, and physical intimidation are being normalized as acceptable forms of political activism as long as the moral holy warriors deem you have the right political positions.

The left doesn’t want debate. They don’t want discussion. They want obedience. And they’ll use any means necessary to get it. I’ll tie it all together when we get back from a quick break. So everyone hang tight and we will be right back.

The Bigger Picture with the Left’s Escalating Violence & Final Thoughts

Welcome back to The P.A.S. Report Podcast. This isn’t just about swatting or Tesla attacks. This is about something much bigger. It’s a dangerous shift toward political intimidation and authoritarian control that has worsened throughout the last decade.

The radical left doesn’t want debate. They don’t want to win arguments through discourse. They don’t care about facts, logic, or reason. They want obedience. And if you don’t comply with their narrow-minded points of view, they will try to destroy you. Destroy you personally, financially, and even physically if necessary.

We’ve seen this playbook before. Swatting, arson, harassment, and intimidation, are the tactics of totalitarian regimes. They want to make people afraid to speak out, afraid to challenge the narrative, afraid to even associate with the “wrong” people.

But here’s what makes this even more infuriating, many of them are the same people who constantly cry about “democracy” being under attack. The same people who claim to be fighting “fascism.” And yet, they’re the ones acting like fascists and using fascist tactics.

They accuse the right of being violent, but they’re the ones committing violent attacks. They claim to support democratic principles, but they try to silence and intimidate anyone who disagrees with them. They pretend to be champions of the little guy, yet they don’t care when their harassment tactics hurt small business owners and ordinary people.

If a group of conservatives were engaging in these types of violent attacks, the media would be wall-to-wall with coverage. The DOJ would be involved. There would be congressional hearings, nonstop outrage from pundits, and demands for action.

But is it because leftist activists are doing the damage that the media ignores it and some even celebrate it? And Democrats pretend it’s not happening.

If this isn’t stopped, it will continue to escalate, and what happens when someone dies because of a swatting attack? What happens when a Tesla dealership firebombing results in a fatality? What happens when someone driving a Tesla gets pulled out of their car and beaten because they happen to own the “wrong” brand of vehicle or they’re violently forced off the road because of the car they drive?

The more this continues, the more it’s tolerated, the more these incidents will increase. This is the natural progression of a movement that doesn’t believe in rules, doesn’t believe in fairness, and doesn’t believe in freedom of thought.

The left is showing their hand. They are not the anti-fascists. They are not the defenders of democracy. They are the real authoritarians.

If we allow this intimidation to go unchecked, it will never stop. It will only worsen, and if they succeed, do you really think they’ll stop there? No, they will come for anyone who doesn’t comply 100% with their radical ideology.

The best way to fight back is to shine a light on it. Expose it. Call it out. Demand accountability. And refuse to be intimidated.

If you found this episode valuable, share it, and take thirty seconds to write a positive review on any podcast platform that allows it. Let people know what’s happening. Talk about it. The media may not want to cover these attacks, but that doesn’t mean we can’t spread the truth ourselves.
