00:00:00.000This is not open and whatnot, but the destroyer group, map it out, GPS, you keep telling me you keep to hang on. You keep telling me that's just Trump doing the Chicago way. You bring a knife. I bring a gun. You bring a gun. I bring a shotgun. You bring a shotgun. I bring a I bring a M50. I don't know. I think I think I think it's you go ahead. I just don't want to take your time. You're right to talk about this for one more. That's OK. All right. All right. So go ahead.
00:04:44.120So now you're following the advice of your legal counsel,
00:04:46.520but you didn't when they warned you that your letter to me was false and misleading.
00:04:50.220Your letter claimed that passport information is required from donors providing an address
00:04:56.560outside the United States. In November 2023, when you wrote that letter, did every ActBlue
00:05:04.580donation that provided an address outside the United States require passport information?
00:05:10.840On the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to answer the question pursuant to my Fifth
00:05:16.900Amendment rights under the Constitution. I want to take a moment to highlight a section of an
00:05:21.640ActBlue employee training document, Fraud Prevention 101 for New Associates in the Workflow.
00:05:30.580Your company's memo states, and I quote, if an otherwise legitimate donor uses a fake name,
00:05:38.220we would want to accept their donation, end quote. Can you confirm whether this is the advice that
00:05:45.560you give to your employees? On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer the
00:05:52.380question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution. Over and over again,
00:05:59.060Donald Trump's Department of Justice has harassed black women with bogus lawsuits. We should not
00:06:05.660forget the harassment of the Federal Reserve Board of Directors, Board of Governors, Lisa Cook,
00:06:10.900their harassment of the New York Attorney General Tish James, and their harassment of our colleague, New Jersey Congresswoman LaMonica MacGyver.
00:06:21.080So it is not surprising that this Republican-led committee is now attacking ActBlue and its CEO, Ms. Wallace-Jones.
00:06:31.320Your letter also claimed that ActBlue would contact a donor to request passport information if the contribution appeared to be from a foreign address.
00:06:39.360and you told this committee that the contribution would be refunded if Act Blue was unable to make
00:06:46.020contact with the donor. Is that correct? On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to
00:06:53.160answer the question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution.
00:06:58.140Well, we have reason to believe that your letter in 2023 was not correct because according to the
00:07:04.360York Times donations that were made through third-party apps like PayPal or Venmo that
00:07:09.960passport information was not always required. So what's true? The 2023 letter you sent me
00:07:17.280or the New York Times article? On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer the
00:07:26.500question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution. After you sent me the
00:07:33.7802023 letter. ActBlue weakened its fraud prevention rules twice in 2024. Quote, even after internal
00:07:44.880assessments confirmed that these policy changes would lead to more fraudulent donations. End quote.
00:07:51.760Did you weaken fraud prevention standards to increase donations on the ActBlue platform?
00:07:57.560On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer the question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution.
00:08:09.300Ms. Wallace-Jones, I want to make clear for the hearing record, you've been asked legitimate questions that are intended to elicit information the committee has the right to have to aid our inquiry.
00:08:20.280You've refused to answer the questions.
00:08:23.340Are you formally asserting your Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination today?
00:08:29.060On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer the question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution.
00:08:41.540For the record, I think it's important to know that we invited you to come here today to testify.
00:08:48.020Originally, you were coming voluntarily.
00:08:51.120On Monday, your attorneys reached out to this committee and requested a subpoena for you to testify.
00:09:40.280So ActBlue is one of the biggest donation machines for the Democrat Party.
00:09:49.960And the allegations are that ActBlue intentionally got rid of its anti-fraud measures leading up to the 2024 election so it could accept illegal foreign donations through straw donors.
00:10:06.020And Congress asked Axe Blue about this and its law firm Covington and Burling sent a letter, helped draft a letter and sent a letter to Congress saying what they supposedly did with these anti-fraud measures to make sure that this didn't happen, to make sure we didn't have foreign money pouring into our elections in 2024.
00:10:30.840And Acts Blue, according to these New York Times and other reports, lied to Congress.
00:11:48.120This is one of what Todd and the team over there have to dig out.
00:11:51.420These guys go from places like Covington and Burling and Kirkland and Ellis and other places into the federal government as deep embeds.
00:12:00.820This is Eric Holder ought to be asked this question.
00:12:03.280We ought to drag Eric Holder up there because you know Holder had to oversee this.
00:12:07.540He might not have been the partner in charge, but the partners in charge of this account report directly to Eric Holder and guys like Eric Holder, correct?
00:12:15.820Yeah, and remember, there's the crime fraud exception to attorney-client privilege.
00:12:20.240If your attorneys are assisting you in committing a crime, you don't have attorney-client privilege.
00:12:28.060So what needs to happen, I think, is these House Republicans need to call in the lawyers, the legal team from Covington and Burling, and put them under oath and ask them what was their knowledge of this alleged lie that ActBlue was making to Congress.
00:12:45.040ActBlue knew it was lying, according to this New York Times report, and they lied and they let that lie continue for over a year, right?
00:12:54.180And so it's very clear that ActBlue is a money laundering organization for foreign donations into Democrat campaigns, right?
00:13:04.540What did Covington and Burling know, and when did it know it?
00:13:09.420Okay, if you remember, let's go back and connect some dots.
00:13:11.580Mike, I'd like to hold you through the break just briefly.
00:13:13.620If you go back and connect dots, this is the big expose that James O'Keefe had a year or so ago when they had the names of the donors and they walked up for ActBlue and they knocked on the door and some 80-year-old person goes, said, hey, you've made 99 contributions to ActBlue up to like $15,000.
00:13:32.440And you can tell the guy's probably not getting $15,000 a year from Social Security to live.
00:13:40.300This is what a professional money laundering operation looks like.
00:13:44.420You've got basic citizens on these phony invoices and you're taking money by the truckload from foreign donors.
00:13:51.960Isn't that the scam? And Covington and Burling is in the middle of it.
00:13:55.020They're helping structure this and overseeing the operation, sir.
00:13:58.900If I were the lawyers at Covington and Burling on this case, I would lawyer up because this looks really, really bad.
00:14:06.040At a minimum, there is gross negligence here with Covington and Burling allowing Act Blue to send this intentionally false letter to Congress, according to the New York Times.
00:14:22.360And then they waited a year for Act Blue to come out with this New York Times leak to say that this was false.
00:14:29.920Maybe they knew that investigators were on their tail,
00:14:33.800so they went to friendly reporters at the New York Times
00:15:15.960Higher inflation, higher prices, higher cost of living expenses,
00:15:19.940and higher interest payments on the national debt.
00:15:22.500Every dollar Washington spends on interest is a dollar it has to tax, borrow, or print.
00:15:29.920Smart retirement planners prepare for potential setbacks, and they can do that by diversifying with a time-tested asset known for weathering the storm.
00:15:41.960Now, physical gold you can get from my trusted friends at Birch Gold Group.
00:15:45.860Text the word Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N, to the number 989898, and Birch Gold will send you a free info kit on converting an existing IRA or 401k into a tax-sheltered IRA in physical gold.
00:16:01.500You don't pull the ripcord on your parachute once you've already hit the ground.
00:16:06.020Don't wait for economic turbulence to diversify.
00:16:42.420I was going off on the United States Senate and saying, hey, look, if this is how they're going to act with President Trump and treat him like a lame duck, who cares if they if they they come back or not.
00:16:53.520And, you know, the Republicans control the Senate at the same time, Mediate also had a story about their Republican senators up on the Hill telling the White House right now, gosh, led by Tom Tillerson, guys, gosh, you know, Todd Blanch is going to be really tough to confirm.
00:17:39.100your murder boards were legendary. Why are we letting these senators bitch and moan and whine1.00
00:17:44.640about the heavy work? And it's hard work. It's heavy work. We don't say it's not because the1.00
00:17:48.360Democrats are crazy. Why are we allowing this, sir? Well, they did the same thing at the beginning0.97
00:17:53.800of the Trump administration. They said that Kash Patel can't get confirmed and Pete Hegseth
00:17:59.320can't get confirmed and so many others couldn't get confirmed. And guess what? Now, Kash Patel
00:18:03.900is the Senate-confirmed FBI Director. Pete Exeth is the Senate-confirmed Secretary of War.
00:18:10.420They just like to hear themselves talk, I think, at the Senate. I was the chief counsel for
00:18:15.100nominations on the Senate Judiciary Committee. I worked with these guys. And I would say this,
00:18:20.820my former boss, Chuck Grassley, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee,
00:18:25.860is fully committed to getting Todd Blanchett confirmed. And Todd Blanchett will get confirmed
00:18:32.600before August recess. And the Article 3 Project and the War Room Posse are going to make damn0.83
00:18:41.240sure that happens. And how we're going to do that is we're going to go to article3project.org,
00:18:48.180article3project.org, and go to our action page and take action. And our first action item is to
00:18:55.200confirm Todd Blanche is the next Attorney General of the United States, top left there. And then
00:19:00.300we're going to do patch through phone calls to both of our home state senators, Democrat and
00:19:06.180Republican. We want to rattle the Democrats and steal the spines of Republicans. We're also going0.97
00:19:12.440to send them emails. We're going to light them up on social media. Todd Blanch is going to be the
00:19:17.240next attorney general because he is the right man at the right time for the right job. This guy
00:19:22.760has all the credentials we need to bring, continue to bring serious reforms to our justice.
00:19:30.300He has served as a federal prosecutor and assistant U.S. attorney in the Southern District of New York. He has served as a law partner at a white shoe law firm in New York.
00:19:43.000He put everything on the line to defend President Trump against unrelenting, unprecedented republic-ending lawfare in several courtrooms in several states across America, along with Boris and John Sauer and Will Scharf and Amal Bovey and so many others, Alina Hava, so many others.
00:20:03.860They pulled the rabbits out of many hats, and President Trump is back in the White House and not in prison.
00:20:11.800Now, Todd Blanche has served as the deputy attorney general at the Justice Department for the last 15 months, the chief operating officer, the number two.
00:20:21.840He's been the acting attorney general for the last several months.
00:20:24.640He is clearly qualified to do this job.
00:20:28.380And at the end of the end of the day, the Senate Republicans, with a little help from the war room posse, lighting them up at Article three projects dot org.
00:20:38.680We're going to make damn sure that acting Attorney General Todd Blanche is Attorney General Todd Blanche before August recess.
00:24:10.080And remember, they said that Amo Bovee would not get confirmed to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals.
00:24:15.840And now they can call him your honor, Judge Amo Bovee, because of the War Room Posse and Article III projects.
00:24:22.680Thank you, sir. Mike Davis, thank you so much for illuminating the situation.
00:24:29.340When I saw the first draft, the first cut of the cold open, I knew that the War Room Posse audience's heads were going to blow up as it was intended.
00:24:39.840Ben Berquam, you've had to deal with these guys a lot.
00:39:44.560They're pushing it. Every single attack you see in New Jersey and Minneapolis and Chicago, all across America, Portland and L.A., all the riots you see going on against ICE are trying to wait out the clock to try to take the elections, the midterms, so that they can undo everything President Trump has done in the hopes that in 2028 they get somebody worse than Joe Biden to make it even worse.
00:40:01.920There are a million illegals in Mexico and Central America waiting right now to reinvade our country.
00:40:08.980And if that happens, if this is ever allowed to happen again, we are dead as a nation.
00:40:14.580Border Patrol, I asked the chief this this morning.
00:40:16.900I said, chief, you know, you look at what's going on now.
00:40:20.660In particular, you're asked to do this job and not get paid for it.
00:40:23.840Some of the guys, the auxiliary staff haven't gotten paid in 90 days.
00:40:27.760What's morale like with Border Patrol?
00:40:29.440And he said it is the highest it has ever been in the history of Border Patrol compared to the lowest it had ever been under Joe Biden.
00:40:38.320These guys will work without a paycheck because they love our country.0.99
00:40:41.380But these disgusting scumbags in Washington, D.C. that use them as this political football, they should be ashamed of themselves.0.99
00:40:48.340I just rest assured, guys, to the American audience out there, Border Patrol loves to do what they do.0.99
00:40:53.460They want to secure this country, but they do not ever want to go back to what we were doing under Joe Biden.
00:40:58.860ever, ever, ever again. And the same goes for ICE. ICE will take all of the attacks by the left,
00:41:05.480the spitting and the blocking their cars and calling them every name in the book.
00:41:09.780They don't care. They want to do the job to secure America and they're going to continue to do it.
00:41:14.340We just have to take the chains off, let them go, let them do everything they need to do. As you
00:41:18.720said, Steve, mass deportations, not onesie twosies. We got to get rid of them all.0.98
00:41:22.620just give me the uh before you leave one more time the number of uh folks just in northern0.99
00:41:30.840mexico along the border and like reynosa and these other places when you aggregate it all up
00:41:35.360how many are waiting to come across the border at the very first sign of any weakness or a democratic
00:41:41.020uh house how many sir reynosa has 7 000 over the the length of the border it's well over 100 000
00:41:49.980And when you go into the interior of Mexico City and down towards Tapachula, you add that up with everybody who's still waiting in some of the places like Guatemala and Panama, well over a million.
00:41:58.660So you'd see the first wave of 100,000 within minutes.
00:42:02.120You could see the next wave of up to, you know, over a million within days and weeks.
00:42:08.300Ben Burquam, your content, your social media, we're going to announce a big project, hopefully in the next couple of days with you.
00:42:19.980Real America's Voice, new episode coming out next weekend of Law & Border, americasvoice.news, at realamvoice on all the social media, and then my personal, at benburquam on X, and the rest of them, my organization, frontlineamerica.com, and then our sub stack is Frontline America.
00:42:36.420But if you search Ben Burquam, you'll find them all.
00:42:45.180So we talked about the devaluation of the U.S. dollar and the drop in purchasing power, the things that BRICS nations have been up in arms about.
00:42:55.180One of the reasons it affects your life is that we've been running these mass deficits.
00:42:58.720And Besson will tell you he's got a mandate from President Trump to get every dollar that is owed to the IRS legally to get because we got to get more cash.
00:43:08.720Right. And President Trump has said, hey, eventually I would like to do with personal income tax.
00:43:13.200Tariffs can take care of that other fees and receipts to the federal government,
00:43:16.540but it ain't going to happen anytime shortly.
00:43:18.180Right now we're running $2 trillion deficits between revenues taken in and cost.
00:43:23.060866-513-5516 is a direct hotline for the Warren Posse, the Tax Network USA.
00:43:39.660everyone's focused on how the conflict in the middle east is raising oil prices but there's
00:43:46.260another grim reality to this contention oil isn't the only resource being constrained about one
00:43:53.260third of global fertilizer trade happens through this region and with spring planting season on
00:43:59.380top of us american farmers are sounding the alarm with some saying they can't afford to plant their
00:44:04.480fields. When one piece of the supply chain gets hit this hard, you know what comes next. Higher
00:44:10.380food prices, reduced availability, maybe even panic buying. That's why having an emergency food supply

00:52:55.820of that revolution. Remember, what do we take away from the American Revolution?

00:53:21.700Now, here's why. The insurance companies and their lackeys in the Washington swamp have built a Medicare system designed to confuse you and rip you off.
00:53:32.720Rising premiums, denied claims, fine print, nobody but a lobbyist understands.
00:53:38.180Millions of American seniors are paying too much and getting too little.
00:53:41.680And worst of all, most don't even know it.
