00:00Across the country, Tesla cars are being lit on fire, dealerships are being shot up, Molotov
00:06cocktails are being used.
00:07There was a website posted yesterday that shared the addresses of private Tesla owners
00:13and reportedly had Kash Patel's information on it.
00:15AG Bandi has called this acts of domestic terrorism.
00:19Does the White House have any indication that this is some sort of coordinated movement
00:23or that it's being funded by some outside group?
00:25And do you know if the investigation by the DOJ is being investigated as incidents of
00:30organized terror?
00:31I believe the Attorney General has made her comments clear on that.
00:35She is investigating these events as acts of domestic terrorism and we fully condemn
00:40them.
00:41And as I said earlier to Jackie's question, we think it's despicable what is happening
00:45to not just this American company, but also their innocent employees and again, innocent
00:49Americans who drive these vehicles.
00:52We condemn it wholeheartedly.
00:53Sure.
