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. That's why we are here. Brought to you by the loan experts I trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandtodd .com. One of the most important things we can do before we come up with a plan is we have to realize what we're up against. There's so much research to be done, so much research to be done about the tech companies, the oligarchs, the changing of laws, and something that has been staring us in the face, and there's been a fair amount of surface level reporting, is how 501c3s, something I'm very familiar with, are being used to assist the Democrat takeover of the country. Now, we run a 501c3, which is strictly educational. Anything that is for social welfare or political goes through Turning Point Action or Turning Point PAC. A new report by Parker Fair shows how charities secretly help win elections. This is extremely comprehensive. It's nearly 35 pages. He's an investigative reporter, researcher, capital research center, and I believe a graduate of America's greatest college, Hillsdale College, which explains why this report is so well put together. Parker, welcome to the program. Thank you so much for having me, Charlie. You did go to Hillsdale, is that right? I did go to Hillsdale. Makes sense. Okay, Parker, so walk us through this. I've read the entire report. I saw it on Twitter last night. I immediately texted our team and I said we need to go through this. Let's first start with the 501c3 component of this, because by law, 501c3s are not allowed to engage in political activity. What did your research find? Yeah, so just kind of a quick rundown for anyone who might not understand what a 501c3 is that's listening. 501c3s are charities, nonprofit organizations that have tax exempt status from the IRS. Think of your local church, that's a 501c3. Like Charlie said, Turning Point USA, that's a 501c3. Hillsdale College. Hillsdale College, there you go. Another excellent 501c3. What these 501c3s were doing that I found early years ago, this is the result of years of research, I found an organization called the Voter Registration Project taking in tens of millions of dollars every single year and distributing them to various state -level 501c3s that were doing exclusively voter registration. I dug around. I couldn't find any information about this. Nobody had talked about it. The media didn't talk about it. Nobody even seemed to know it existed. As I kept digging, I kept finding more interesting things. Eventually, I found emails on WikiLeaks from John Podesta's leaked emails back in 2015 that showed that this organization, going by the name of the Everybody Votes Campaign, which they didn't really share publicly until almost 2021, had been designed as a scheme essentially to guarantee a Democratic presidential victory in 2020. They were aiming to register millions of people in swing states and Democrats. So, Everybody Votes Campaign is scheme sent to John Podesta, head of the 2016 presidential campaign. And you detail the, first of all, the amount of money is $120 million. I think it's even more than that, but you're careful of just what you're able to prove. Is that right, Parker? Yeah. I mean, this is all we, I can't even tell you at CRC, we pride ourselves on doing excellent fact -based research. This has gone through many rounds of editing from very skeptical editors, $120 million in the 2020 cycle. They've raised more than that to date. But that's, you know, this is very provable and it's from all of the worst lefty billionaires and dark money organizations you can imagine. So, based on your research, these 501c3s that are prohibited from political activity, do you believe that they are, let's just say, pushing the boundaries and or outwardly violating the nonpolitical rule from the Internal Revenue Service for a 501c3? If there was a line over what they could do, which the IRS doesn't seem to enforce at all, but if there was a line, they crossed it very long ago. The IRS website says that these voter registration campaigns are prohibited from being partisan in either intent or effect. And I was able to prove both according to the estimates, which we ran based on, you know, leaked documents in these Podesta emails and from other sources. This campaign generated somewhere in the range of one to two million votes for Democrats in the 2020 cycle. One to two million votes in Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia. But let's just be more specific. Florida, I don't think they spent as much money. It's mostly Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan. Is that correct? Michigan, a little less so. But yeah, these are, it's exclusively swing states. They weren't, the campaign is called Everybody Votes. They didn't care about everybody's vote. They only cared about the swing state votes and only the votes that would benefit the Democrats. Yeah, if it was Everybody Votes, why weren't they doing voter registration in Louisiana? They weren't registering people in Alaska. They weren't in Oklahoma. Yeah, I mean, so this is, I want to read part of your report. By the way, this is what people say, Charlie, you know, where do you spend your money? I love Capital Research Center. All these DC think tanks, most of them are a waste of time. This is a report that will result in good things because now we have the data, right? Now, no more guessing. So I want to read this. This is, yeah, I saw that and I have some feedback. They've got to be careful to make sure those rules aren't wrongly enforced against the right, but that's a separate issue. But no, I saw, I saw Schweikert's letter. It's mostly good. But by the way, before I read this, in Schweikert's letter, foreign people might be funding this stuff. Is that correct? Exactly. People like Hansorg Wyss, if you've heard of him. Swiss guy. He's this four billion dollar crazy person from Switzerland who is funding 501c4s as well, right? Parker, not just C3s. We'll get to the C4 in a second. Yeah, he's the left's dirty little secret. They don't want anyone talking about him. Exactly right. Tell us about him. No, no riff on that. Oh, yeah. So Hansorg Wyss, he made his money as the, I believe, president and CEO of a company named Synths USA. They got in a lot of trouble for running illegal medical experiments. But he made, you know, millions of dollars and was then I think billions of dollars even. And it was eventually around 2009 was caught making illegal campaign contributions to Democrats, even though he was not a US citizen, doesn't even have a green card, according to his SEC filings. But he uses these 501c3s and 501c4s that we're talking about to put tens of millions of dollars into US politics in unbelievable ways every single year. He does not have a US passport. Everyone is clear. This guy is not a green card holder. He doesn't have a US passport. He's a foreigner who pumps money into domestic 501c3s, 501c4 organizations, hundreds of millions of dollars, correct? Over the last decade. Yeah. Well, and wouldn't you know it, this guy's foundation, that email I talked about where I found this initially from Podesta, this guy's foundation, Hansorg Wyss' foundation, was the one who initially sent him this idea for the VRP in the first place. And you're the only one that I've seen that has connected the Podesta stuff. By the way, Podesta just so happens to be running a press conference today. So I want to read this. This is the tough research. Again, this is public, but this takes hundreds of hours of consolidation. The billionaire club comes from Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation, the private foundation of Warren Buffett, $5 million. Foundation to promote an open society endowed by George Soros, over $10 million. Then Register America because of 501c4. Now, 501c4, they're more in safe harbor for political involvement in social welfare. But you have the Civic Participation Action Fund, the Wallace H. Coulter Foundation for deceased billionaire founder, the JBB Foundation, PB Foundation for billionaire Barbara Picower, and her late husband go on and on and on. You have pages of this. It's striking how the party allegedly of the little guy has so many billionaire oligarchs pumping millions of dollars of dark money into it. Yeah, these 501c3s are the left's, you know, they're their artillery battery that's just sitting back there delivering unbelievable amounts of money to the left's causes. According to the CRC studies, the studies that we've done of the spending in these 501c3 areas where private billionaires, private foundations, and things like that are putting money into politics. You know, the left's 501c3 power money -wise outnumbers the right almost three to one. Yes. This is where the money is really moving in American politics. This is what's so important, everybody. And by the way, they always project, right? So ProPublica, a bunch of interesting people, they wrote a piece on Turning Point USA. Yeah, they wrote a piece on us three years ago trying to insinuate that we weren't in a, you know, following 501c3. Not true, right? But they go hostilely aggressive against anything on the right. By the way, we do stuff on high school and college campuses, strictly education, all that stuff. And we have a C4. And yet they won't even lift a finger to look into this. And so let's talk about the consultant part of this. Tell us about it. So around 2020, I believe the number was about $20 million, if I'm remembering correctly. The VRP, or also known as the Everybody Votes Campaign, which is this 501c3 we've been talking about, dumped millions of dollars into what are basically just Democratic consultants to do supposedly nonpartisan voter registration work. How that works with a Democratic consultant, you know, that works for the DNC and the DSCC is doing nonpartisan voter registration consulting, I don't really know. But, you know, one of those consultants that's been in the news lately is GBI Strategies, which got in some trouble in Michigan recently. I don't know if you've heard about that. Oh, we did. We covered it.

"We continue to follow that developing story, former president Donald Trump is expected to turn himself in next Tuesday after he was indicted by a Manhattan grand jury yesterday. The exact nature of the charges are unclear because the indictment remains under seal, but what we do know is that they stem from payments made during the 2016 presidential campaign to silence claims of an extramarital sexual encounter. We now go in depth with congressional reaction to the news with bob Cusack, editor in chief of the hill. Bob, so glad you're with us. What is the reaction on Capitol Hill? What are you hearing? Well, seeing by and large, Republicans are rallying around the former president and Democrats are saying no one is above the law. So a very partisan reaction. Some people, some Republicans who have been critical of Trump, including Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell, has not yet spoken on the issue, but certainly the Trump base is rallying behind him and this could be just the first of several indictments potentially, but this is unprecedented. I want to talk about the Democrat reaction for a moment because quietly some Democrats were a bit worried that this might backfire or any of them sort of being muted in their reaction to this. There is concern Democrats have been concerned that this would be the first indictment, some Democrats would rather Georgia, the Georgia election controversy, which could lead to an indictment because that was a dispute between Trump and Republicans. Obviously, the prosecutor in New York is a Democrat. So it does have that partisan look. So there is some concern and really since there's been talk of an indictment, Trump's numbers have actually gone up against Ron DeSantis. He's actually expanded his lead in most polls. So this is a concern that it could actually help. At least in the short term, it could help tone. What's to unpack here, we're going to have to leave it for now. Bob Cusack editor in chief of the hill really appreciate you coming on. Thanks.

"About raising interest rates again doing so Wednesday part of the continuing fight against inflation and investors didn't like what fed chair Jerome Powell had to say about that. After he acknowledged the trouble in the banking sector could slow down the economy even more, regional bank shares sank. On Wednesday, the Dow NASDAQ and S&P were all down more than half a percent, one and a half percent of the close. But CBS News business analyst Jill schlesinger says this morning inflation she thinks is still too high for the fed to ease those rates. They're going to leave rates higher for longer than many people would have expected. So that means if you are carrying a big fat credit card balance, it is going to be very expensive to service that, or if you have any sort of adjustable rate loan. I don't suspect that the rates are coming down anytime soon. Consumers should adjust to that. Lavender says it's still unclear tonight how recent bank failures will impact the broader economy.

The Charlie Kirk Show
Why the Potential Trump Charges Are Pure Fiction
"Is that Donald Trump and his own private life paid stormy Daniels is a hush money payment as a way to try and influence the 2016 presidential campaign. This is such this is beyond an abuse of the criminal justice system. Even if you hate Donald Trump, even if you are the most anti Trump person, you can not possibly justify. That this is what the criminal justice system is for. This is not even a novel legal theory. This is a fiction of the legal code. Signs indicate that Bragg's plan is to claim that Trump's payments to stormy Daniels were improperly classified as a legal expense. Now, even that would just be a misdemeanor of true, so to make it a felony like Bragg has been saying that it's a crime was committed to cover up another crime and the theory goes that it goes a bigger crime making this any illegal campaign contribution. This is such an abuse. That basically says any spending in your personal life is actually for a political campaign. And then it just begs the question, was Donald Trump selling our country out to the Chinese Communist Party, so his cocaine addicted son could make money in our national security could be compromised. Did Donald Trump smash a bunch of devices even though they were under subpoena? And they just disappeared. Did Donald Trump engage in a summer of love of looting and fire and arson, of course not.

But he knows he has nothing to hide. He knows that the people who Uh, abused the FISA warrant process have a whole lot of explaining to do. And so his last less than 24 hours in office, he did classifies the whole kit and caboodle. And I cannot wait to sift through it all. By the way. Uh, let me get back to why you should have some hope. Cause right now things are pretty crazy. Don't you agree? Scary. Very frustrating, pretty depressing. And all those emotions are correct. And on dmat Toral And well placed They're well placed. But here's why you should also have hope. The American people agree with us. We think it think about it. When you take a look at the issues, the American people agree with us. The Democrats literally have to cheat. I'm not saying you know, just on the presidential election. I mean, that's we're gonna be debating that for decades. I don't have confidence in the results. I will accept them. But I don't like how we conducted our election for the president of United States. We used the California model. And what is the California model? And this is why when people say book Horrell can't believe you're still talking about voter fraud of it. Excuse me. You saw what they did to our ballot measure on the gas tax repeal. Of course, there is election interference. Of course, there is underhanded approaches. They took our title away from US gas tax repeal they lie on the ballot. Absolutely when they want something. They lie about it and favor of what they want. When they don't want something, they disparage it on the ballot, and they lie to the voters again. This is not even open for debate anymore that they laugh. Is they do it? So in order for them to win, they gotta cheat. And ballot titles and summaries in California. Just wanting many examples. So, yeah, when? When I see that happening in California, up close and personal Dia Dia Dia think I look at what's going on in those other states and say, Well, whether smoke, there's probably fire. But think about what that tells you. American people agree with US 70% of the California voters in 2018 wanted to repeal the gas tax. It was a very Democrat year. Okay? Very blue year they did get a chance to vote on that. When you ask, you know, Should we have sex offenders who assault kids is is as young as 14. This is what Gavin Newsom signed into law. This is what Mayor Todd Gloria in San Diego supported. Do you think we should allow that to happen that they should escape registry on the sex offender registry People say Hells no 80% 80%. Even when you ask, Do you think you know Police are racist or do you think most police are good people? There's some bad apples, but they're good people, and we need to support Are police officers. It's 3 to 1 in favor of police. You go on and on and on across the board about all these issues now, you might say, But Carl, A lot of these kids are being lulled into complete nonsense. True, true, we don't have universal support. A lot of misinformation out there, and no one told you it was gonna be easy. It's not gonna be easy. Do you think our forefathers and foremothers thought it was gonna be easy when they took on the British? You think it was easy to make it through the civil war? Do you think it was easy in World War? Two when we had what? The 14th biggest military on the globe. When we were attacked by the Japanese. 14th are the size of our military was 14th. We've had a lot of catching up to do. It was easy to deal with the Cold War. Do you think it even any of this stuff is easy. No, it's never been easy hour. Forefathers and foremothers. Can I still use the term father and mother? Another trying to mind Band that too, Um They faced extraordinary challenges, and it wasn't fair. Not there. They just took me off Facebook. I know it's not fair. Let's let's keep fighting figure out a solution. The more people who are disenfranchised. The more people who are canceled.

Do you see whether doing not only do people really agree with our point of view, but what they're doing right now is classic over reach. They're talking about cults and mental illness and they're talking about you know what canceling people and de programming people and And reprogramming them and banning them from social media.

Missouri's Josh Holly, Arkansas's Tom Cotton and Texas Senator Ted Cruz. All have been highly critical of Chief Justice John Roberts for not being conservative enough. Also on the list are to current or former Trump Administration Justice Department officials who have been carrying Trump's legal banner in the courts. And Paul Clement, who served as solicitor general in the George W. Bush administration and is considered perhaps the best legal advocate among the very able lawyers who practice regularly before the Supreme Court.

Russia worked to help Trump in 2016 election: Senate panel
"Million documents. Hundreds of witness interviews and the consensus from Democrats and Republicans in the Senate Intelligence Committee is that Russia aggressively tried to influence 2016 presidential campaign, and the Trump campaign was happy to accept Russian help, they said. So in 1000 page report this week, the committee also reportedly made criminal referrals to federal prosecutors believe in a number of people have lied or maid. Contradictory statements to investigators were going to turn now to Justin. Rude. He's a former congressional investigator now director of the project on Government Oversight. Thanks so much for being with us good to be with you. According to officials who spoke with the Times, The Washington Post NBC News the intelligence Committee Told the Department of Justice that Steve Bannon, Erik Prince Sam Clovis Alternate Associates appeared to have made false statements to the committee and that Donald Trump Jr and Jared Kushner had made statements that were contradicted by other testimony. How often does a congressional committee make a referral like that? But they're not common, but I would say they're not infrequent. It's hard to say for sure, because sometimes these pearls are made publicly. Sometimes they're made privately. These obviously we've made privately so it's hard to have AH, clear accounts, but it's not uncommon, especially at the end of a lengthy investigation like this one toe have examples of Witnesses say you feel may have not have been fully forthcoming on there's a matter almost house. You need to refer that to Department of justice and ask them to look look into a little further. Would you have any concern based on what we do know now that the Justice Department is ignoring Congress or slowing down the process? This is not a normal year. That is not a normal administration for sure make that difficult to see inside a black box of the situation like this. Certainly there are concerns from politicization of the Department of Justice. But I would also say that historically speaking when Congress makes with pearls to the Department of Justice for anything but particularly around obstruction, or or false statements, types of concerns If the figures of the subjects of those girls are connected to the administration administration officials regardless of whether they're Democratic Republican, the Department of Justice rarely takes those cases up frequently. These were for Those are much more successful if they target a private individual. Well, what a tradition. Why don't they traditionally picked them up old fashioned politics? It's hard to convince the Department of Justice to go after a member of their own administration on DH while I think false statements, serious charge, and certainly any federal investigator would tell you get in. I think there are people have gone to prison for lying to Congress, right? Oh, absolutely, and in recent history as well, So I think that we should probably point to that evidence as well. You got Michael Cohen, who pled guilty to a charge of lying to Congress. He had Roger Stone, who was convicted of making false statements now, But those were coming through the Mueller team. The special prosecutor's team and these referrals are going to the U. S Attorney's office here in D. C. Which I think has a little bit of a body a record. I think Congress just heard from members that office in June. I believe about interns around politicization there. In the cases of Michael Flynn and Excuse me and Roger Stone sentencing. So, so it's tough to read whether or not it's going to move forward. I would say that while the Department of Justice don't get these referrals from Congress from committees from members because it's just a letter anyone any member of Congress or the Mini can write one of these letters. I think they tend Give credence to these work world become, as this one does from the Senate Intelligence Committee, which is to say first that's being made on a bipartisan basis by the by the chair and vice chair of the committee is coming at the end of an extensive and detailed investigation. That's just one person's opinion. Kind of popping off. They you assume have AH, decent. Body of records to refer to and the third one is they didn't publicly They didn't try to politicize it so that I think a lot of watches gives credence in some real gravity. Well, thanks very much for being with us. Justin Road, directs the Congressional Oversight Initiative at the project on Government Oversight. We're very grateful for your time. Thank you, sir.
