00:00:19.000Get involved with Turning Point USA Today at tpusa.com.
00:00:48.000His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:00:56.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:08.000Brought to you by the loan experts I trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at AndrewandTod.com.
00:01:14.000One 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.
00:01:26.000There'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.
00:01:37.000And there's been a fair amount of surface level reporting.
00:01:41.000Is how 501c3s, something I'm very familiar with, are being used to assist the Democrat takeover of the country.
00:01:51.000Now, we run a 501c3, which is strictly educational.
00:01:56.000Anything that is for social welfare or political goes through turning point action or turning point PAC.
00:02:03.000A new report by Parker Thayer shows how charities secretly help win elections.
00:02:14.000He'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.
00:03:10.000What these 501c3s were doing that I found early years ago, this is the result of years of research.
00:03:17.000I found a 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.
00:03:36.000Nobody even seemed to know it existed.
00:03:38.000And as I kept digging, I kept finding more interesting things.
00:03:40.000Eventually, 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.
00:04:01.000They were aiming to register millions of people in swing states and target only the demographics that were beneficial to Democrats.
00:04:08.000So, the Everybody Votes campaign is a scheme sent to John Podesta ahead of the 2016 presidential campaign.
00:04:15.000And you detail the, first of all, the amount of money is $120 million.
00:04:20.000I think it's even more than that, but you're careful of just what you're able to prove.
00:04:38.000They'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.
00:04:48.000So, 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 andor outwardly violating the non political rule from the Internal Revenue Service for a 501c3?
00:05:02.000If 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.
00:05:10.000The IRS website says that these voter registration campaigns are prohibited from being partisan in either intent or effect.
00:05:20.000According to the estimates which we ran, based on 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.
00:05:36.000One to two million votes in Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia.
00:07:09.000So Hans-Arg Wies, he made his money as the, I believe, president and CEO of a company named Synths USA.
00:07:16.000They got in a lot of trouble for running illegal medical experiments.
00:07:19.000But he made millions of dollars and was then, I think, billions of dollars even, and was eventually, around 2009, caught making illegal experiments.
00:07:28.000Campaign contributions to Democrats, even though he was not a US citizen, doesn't even have a green card according to his SEC filings.
00:07:36.000But he uses these 501c3s and 501c4s that we're talking about to put tens of millions of dollars into U.S. politics in unbelievable ways every single year.
00:07:45.000He does not have a U.S. passport, just so everyone is clear.
00:07:51.000He's a foreigner who pumps money into domestic 501c3s, 501c4 organizations, hundreds of millions of dollars, correct, over the last decade?
00:08:01.000Well, 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, Hansard Visas Foundation, Was the one who initially sent him this idea for the VRP in the first place.
00:08:43.000Now, 501c4, they're more in safe harbor for political involvement and social welfare.
00:08:48.000But you have the Civic Participation Action Fund, the Wallace H. Coulter Foundation for deceased billionaire founder, the JBB Foundation, PB Foundation for billionaire Barbara Pickauer and her late husband.
00:09:05.000It's striking how the party, allegedly of the little guy, has so many billionaire oligarchs pumping millions of dollars of dark money into it.
00:09:14.000These 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.
00:09:24.000According to the CRC studies, the studies that we've done of the spending in these 501c3 areas where 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.
00:10:16.000So, around 2020, I believe the number was about $20 million, if I'm remembering correctly.
00:10:22.000The 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.
00:10:34.000How that works with a Democratic consultant that works for the DNC and the DSCC is doing nonpartisan voter registration consulting, I don't really know.
00:10:45.000But one of those consultants that's been in the news lately is GBI.
00:10:47.000Strategies, which got in some trouble in Michigan recently.
00:10:49.000I don't know if you've heard about that.
00:10:54.000GBI Strategies, the only person who paid them more than the VRP was the DSCC, as far as I can find, which is the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, the heart of the Democratic Party.
00:11:05.000The VRP was second most at $2.5 million in 2020 for voter registration consulting.
00:11:11.000And we know that the VRP was working and active in Michigan because they gave to other organizations in Michigan as well.
00:11:18.000So, these organizations obviously have a political intent, and you put here on page 16 how charities secretly help win elections sophisticated, planned, and partisan.
00:11:29.000Assembled here for the first time, the evidence shows that the Everybody Votes campaign was the largest, most partisan, charitable voter registration effort in American history.
00:12:12.000They'll do it for an election cycle, similar to the Center for Technology and Civic Life, a 501c3 that Mark Zuckerberg put $400 million in.
00:13:10.000So back in 2015, John Podesta was receiving emails from Hans Org Wies' foundation.
00:13:15.000He's a non American Swiss billionaire, not a citizen.
00:13:18.000And his foundation is bouncing around ideas for how they can help civic participation among minority communities.
00:13:25.000What they really mean is how they can help Democrats vote.
00:13:28.000And the way I know this is because in the documents that they sent, they had catalogs of how they could break up and get out non white, that's the exact words they used, non white votes in swing states.
00:13:39.000They had charts and tables, and they counted up the votes like they were counting livestock.
00:13:44.000And then they proceeded to develop this plan.
00:13:46.000It went through a few phases of development and eventually got the name the Everybody Votes Campaign.
00:13:52.000They're raking in tens of millions of dollars a year and starting to send out voter registration money to organizations in eight key swing states around the country.
00:14:01.000And eventually, under the name Everybody Votes Campaign, it gets around to who of all people?
00:14:26.000Give it to these 501c3s instead because they're way more effective.
00:14:30.000In fact, the number was four to 10 times more cost effective at generating net additional Democratic votes when compared to PACs and candidates.
00:14:38.000What message is this that you found where they said this?
00:14:53.000They sent a memo to all their donors and it got leaked by an excellent reporter called Teddy Schleifer.
00:14:57.000Apologies if I mispronounced that name.
00:14:59.000He found this memo and it basically showed Mind the Gap telling all their donors these C3s are the most effective things Democrats have to win the presidential election and encourage them to give generously to it, but also to keep it a complete secret.
00:15:12.000And it remained a secret until about yesterday when the report came out about it.
00:15:17.000It would be interesting if a Republican AG would look at this.
00:15:20.000Are there any laws that are being broken here outside of federal, you know, charitable guidelines?
00:15:26.000As with most campaign finance things, it's very, very dubious.
00:15:29.000The IRS has rules that say that nonprofit organizations doing voter registration aren't allowed to be partisan in either effect or intent.
00:15:37.000So even if they didn't intend to and they had the effect of producing a partisan result with their voter registration efforts, that would be, you know, presumably crossing the line.
00:15:48.000Now, the IRS has turned a blind eye to this stuff for a super long time.
00:15:52.000If you recall, Obama's first job was community organizer for Project Vote, which did the same thing.
00:15:59.000The New Georgia Project, which got in trouble for violating these laws, actually, her first job was also a voter registration organization.
00:16:06.000You have this memo from Mind the Gap to Silicon Valley donors explaining how the Everybody Votes campaign achieves its goal.
00:16:16.000And then, just by coincidence, Parker, COVID happens and mass mail in voting occurs.
00:16:23.000So they have this incredibly well funded infrastructure.
00:16:26.000Let me ask the question in a specific way Did it benefit?
00:16:30.000The Democrat Party's investments in these 501c3s to go towards mass mail and voting?
00:16:36.000I think you could certainly say it did.
00:16:39.000They did report that there were some difficulties involved with trying to get people to go out and knock on doors, but I think the net effect was very positive.
00:17:12.000And you'd think, hey, if they're a nonprofit who's proud of the work they're doing and they're proud of all the minority voices that they're lifting up and registering, maybe they would have told somebody about it.
00:19:27.000But amongst leaders that I'm talking about, there is a widespread attitude of exhaustion.
00:19:35.000Exhaustion at best, demoralization at worst, surrender even.
00:19:41.000And the Democrats, I believe, are doing this intentionally.
00:19:44.000First, they want to chill political activism, front page of the New York Times.
00:19:48.000They want you to be afraid that if you petition your government, you might end up on the front page of the New York Times as an indicted felon.
00:19:56.000Maybe facing minimum five years in prison under a RICO statute.
00:20:20.000The eternal questions are more important than the political questions.
00:20:23.000I wish that conservatives took politics as seriously as I have suggested.
00:20:29.000But also, conservatives can take politics too seriously.
00:20:33.000If you allow it to be your identity, if you get into a place of depression and deep sadness, if we don't win back the White House in 2024, which I am going to do everything I possibly can to do through turning point action and voter registration and turning point PAC and chasing ballots, we are going to do everything we possibly can.
00:20:54.000But understand that we're the underdog.
00:20:56.000There is a greater chance than not that the regime is going to win.
00:21:01.000Anybody who tells you differently is lying to you.
00:21:18.000Because we have faith in the ultimate victory and out of obedience to the divine and to fight for beautiful things, to fight for your kids and your grandkids.
00:21:25.000I don't fear for myself or our turning point ranks.
00:21:28.000We're going to keep growing and fighting.
00:21:30.000My number one fear right now is not the Department of Justice.
00:23:05.000I think there's just a lot of Republican voters out there that are fed up.
00:23:08.000With the inaction on the Republican side.
00:23:10.000I mean, what's happening to President Trump is a complete disgrace.
00:23:14.000Quite frankly, if this was happening in a foreign country, if another country was doing these types of things to its former elected, newly elected leader, we would cut off foreign aid.
00:23:26.000So it shouldn't be happening in America.
00:23:27.000It's five simple things that have to happen.
00:23:30.000Number one, we begin impeachment hearings against Joe Biden.
00:23:34.000It's clear that he's the most corrupt president in American history.
00:23:37.000Number two, we begin impeachment hearings on Merrick Garland and Christopher Wray.
00:23:41.000What that will allow us to do is find out what's really going on in the Justice Department.
00:23:46.000Because through the impeachment process, we'll get the actual data and evidence.
00:23:50.000Number three is we have to use the power of the purse in the House of Representatives and the Senate to really make certain that we're defunding these agencies that are weaponizing our government's judicial system.
00:24:02.000Number four, we have to stop allowing these judicial nominees to go through the Senate because unless they start putting actual constitutional people in there and not these extreme advocates.
00:24:16.000And number five, fully support what Senator JD Vance is doing, which is To stop the DOJ nominations until the Department of Justice stops weaponizing that department against President Trump and other U.S. citizens.
00:24:56.000It is Hillary Clinton who routinely breaks the law and gets away with it.
00:25:02.000And now we have Joe Biden who's learned.
00:25:04.000He's learned from Obama that it doesn't matter what you do, if you're a liberal Democrat, you will not be prosecuted.
00:25:11.000He learned from Hillary that a person in high public office can get millions and millions of dollars.
00:25:18.000And they learned from watching Donald Trump that a true outsider, Willing to take on the entire system could destroy their entire machine.
00:25:29.000Now, Bernie, I'm sure you're hearing from grassroots folks as you travel the state of Ohio to become the next senator, which we're totally in support of, anger and outrage.
00:25:38.000Connect that with kind of the sentiment of Newt Gingrich, your reaction.
00:25:42.000Yeah, I mean, the reality is we live in a country.
00:25:45.000I came to a country that has one blind justice system, not two tiers, not a two tiered system.
00:25:59.000This is not the country that we expect it to be.
00:26:02.000We need to have a country where law and order and our justice system works.
00:26:07.000And they're extraordinarily frustrated that not only do we have this corrupt president in the White House, but we have to a large extent Republicans in the Congress that are failing to act.
00:26:31.000Number three, use the power of the purse to defund the witch hunts against former President Trump.
00:26:36.000There's a CR coming up, and whispers are that the Speaker of the House and the Senate are going to come together in a deal to have a clean CR.
00:26:46.000If you were a senator, would you stand up against this and demand that before we fund the government, we are going to defund the rogue prosecutor, Jack Smith?
00:27:08.000We're the stewards of the U.S. taxpayer.
00:27:10.000And we should not be using taxpayer dollars for Joe Biden to interfere with our elections and try to knock out his most ardent opponent, a person who clearly is going to be the nominee of the Republican Party, who clearly will beat him next year.
00:27:24.000He's using taxpayer dollars to go after him, causing him to have to spend enormous amounts of money to defend himself instead of being able to use that money to run his campaign.
00:27:36.000So let's play another piece of tape here.
00:27:38.000Just to kind of reemphasize the radical nature of all of this and why we need to support Bernie Moreno's quest to become the next senator of Ohio and defeat Sherrod Brown, who couldn't care less about the weaponization of government.
00:27:55.000Let's play this just to kind of motivate the audience.
00:28:12.000That the system of democracy at its heart is the idea that the people get to decide how we are governed.
00:28:18.000The deliberate effort to divide Americans, to lie to Americans about what was going on literally in front of their own eyes, what happened on January 6th, don't believe what you saw, believe what I tell you.
00:28:33.000Those are all the hallmarks of authoritarian, dictatorial kinds of leaders.
00:29:37.000The reality is Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are an abject disaster for America.
00:29:43.000We have to get them out of the White House.
00:29:45.000And we need President Trump back in there because he's the only one that can set this country back on track to how far off we've gotten since Joe Biden's been elected.
