Sam Bankman Freed is convicted the dark money fraud that is financing the Democratic Party. We talk about that. Also, Adam Kinzinger says he s voting for Joe Biden. What does a Republican mean anymore?
00:01:01.000His 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.
00:01:10.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:02:52.000I said, more so than even the business side, but you're that forceful going to the media and saying, I want to go spend a billion dollars to defeat Donald Trump.
00:03:03.000I want to even pay Donald Trump not to run.
00:03:05.000It felt as if a regime created a hologram.
00:03:10.000So then I remember I texted my team because, you know, we track political donations, who are the biggest political donors.
00:03:15.000And it turns out the money was flowing.
00:03:18.000And I started to look at the FEC reports and $5 million and $10 million and $15 million and $20 million and $25 million.
00:03:27.000And just from Sam Bankman Freed, the Afro dude, $40 million was allocated in the midterm election.
00:03:45.000I just want to make sure that I'm fair in going through this.
00:03:50.000Prosecutors, when they went after Sam Bankman Freed during the recent trial, argued that Bankman Freed siphoned money from FTX to his crypto-focused hedge fund.
00:03:59.000Alameda Research, despite proclaiming on social media and on TV and advertisements that the exchange prioritized the safety of customer funds.
00:04:07.000This was a not very well-designed laundering scheme where Alameda used the money to pay its lenders and to make loans to Bankman-Fried and other executives, who in turn made speculative venture investments and donated upwards of $100 million to U.S. political campaigns.
00:04:23.000And if Sam Bankman-Fried's public political giving was anything like the private political giving, we don't even know all the organizations that got money.
00:04:31.000Now, you want to talk about something suspicious?
00:04:33.000Even in a federal trial, it did not come to light all of the dark money groups that Sam Bankman-Fried donated money to.
00:05:08.000They raise a lot of money from you, the grassroots donors, to not hire key staff in the key states.
00:05:15.000They go on TV, spend a bunch of money on flowers, and then they never take responsibility for their actions.
00:05:19.000They have a culture of losing, and they're very good at losing.
00:05:22.000Other reasons is we didn't do a good enough job of engaging in early balloting, voting month.
00:05:28.000We also didn't secure our elections, quite honestly, in Arizona, Georgia, and Wisconsin in the post-2020 election cycle.
00:05:35.000We didn't run the best candidates we could in certain states.
00:05:37.000In other states, we ran excellent candidates that were sabotaged by machine failures like Cary Lake in Arizona.
00:05:42.000There's a lot of reasons why we did not have the triumph of 2022.
00:05:48.000Our inability to message on the abortion decision, Dobbs decision, certainly hurt us.
00:05:52.000We were taken by surprise, and Democrats pumped money in.
00:05:55.000But one aspect of this is that there was this suspicious capital flow that was going in to help Raphael Warnock in Georgia, that was going in to help Mark Kelly in Arizona, that was going in to help Katie Hobbs in Arizona.
00:06:15.000And it all went back to this strange tech bro, Afro-man, as I call him, the Afro-fraudster, who is pumping money.
00:06:28.000He took, maybe if you invested it in FTX, Blake did, so he's trying to get his money back.
00:06:35.000So he took Blake's money, stole it, to then go give money to Democrats.
00:06:42.000And that's not just fraud, that's outright criminality.
00:06:48.000And he took advantage and lied to people that had not a lot of money to begin with.
00:06:57.000Understand, and I'm going to get to the penalty in a second because I think this is so morally reprehensible and repugnant what he did.
00:07:05.000But a lot of people that put money into FTX were, I could just see a picture of them.
00:07:11.000They listen to Joe Rogan, they work out two to three times a week, they're new into crypto, and they're like, bro, this FTX thing is amazing.
00:07:24.000So SPF took the money from a lot of these people, people that didn't have a lot to begin with, stole it, and then spent it on mafia-style political protection.
00:07:40.000Sam Bankman-Freed explicitly was trying to buy up the American political system.
00:07:46.000His ideology argued that far too little money was spent on politics.
00:07:50.000And so he went and spent a huge, massive amount of money promoting liberals and tearing down Trump.
00:07:57.000He did this because he thought that if he gave enough money to Chuck Yu Schumer, even a little bit to McConnell, gave enough money to Pelosi, gave enough money to the American political system, that his fraud would never be discovered.
00:08:12.000He gave $40 million that we know of to Democrats in the 2022 election cycle, and that doesn't count his business partners or the dark money.
00:08:21.000It's probably closer to $80 million in the midterm election cycle.
00:08:27.000We're being outspent post-Dobbs' decision.
00:08:30.000And one of the main reasons we're being outspent is because of this punk fraudster who is stealing the money from his quote-unquote investors to fund the American Democrat regime.
00:08:47.000Sam Bankman-Freed made $5 million donations to Joe Biden.
00:08:57.000According to Michael Lewis's book, which you have to take with a very, very heavy grain of salt, he wanted to bribe Trump not to run in 2024.
00:09:05.000Literally that he would give billions of dollars for Trump not to run.
00:09:08.000And by the way, for those of you that are still not convinced that Trump isn't a threat, why would one of the wealthiest punks and the piggyback, the piggy bank of the Democrat Party want to pay Donald Trump if Trump wasn't a threat to the pay Trump not to run if Trump wasn't a threat to the regime?
00:11:18.000And remember, retirement is about more than just investments.
00:11:21.000The Charlie Kirk endorsement of the PAX Financial Group LLC was given for compensation, which creates an incentive to recommend PAX's advisory services.
00:11:31.000Let me make sure that disclaimer is very clear.
00:11:37.000The second largest donor to Joe Biden is now a convicted fraudster, Sam Bankman Freed, coindesk.com, cryptocurrency CEO, donated second largest amount to Joe Biden's campaign.
00:11:49.000But the dark money aspect of this is very important.
00:11:52.000There was a book written years ago by Jane Mayer, who is a left-wing reporter with the New Yorker, called Dark Money.
00:12:01.000And while I disagree with a lot of her politics, it's actually a very interesting book, and it was mostly obviously aimed at the right.
00:12:08.000And so dark money was a pejorative phrase that Democrats used against largely the Koch brothers and money that does not have to be disclosed.
00:12:18.000Dark money is a brilliant marketing label.
00:12:25.000So at Turning Point USA, for example, we do not have to publicly disclose our donors.
00:12:31.000At Turning Point Action, we do not have to publicly disclose our donors.
00:12:34.000No different than Planned Parenthood action, no different than Priorities USA action, a lot of the groups on the left.
00:12:41.000And so therefore, if you don't have to publicly disclose your donors, as long as 51% of the money is spent on social welfare and not on 49% on politics, then the donors remain anonymous.
00:12:52.000You can also receive money from LLCs and from companies.
00:12:58.000So dark money, again, that is a phrase that is largely pushed by the left, is now actually used far more by the left than the right.
00:13:06.000And one of the untold stories of the last decade is how the left went from complaining about campaign finance, complaining about Citizens United, to embracing Citizens United to beat us.
00:13:20.000It is one of the untold stories of the last 10 years where it used to be a major issue of Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, AOC, the base of the Democrat Party always said money is corrupting politics.
00:13:34.000We need to publicly finance our elections.
00:13:36.000And the smart people of the Democrat Party who just want power said, yeah, yeah, yeah, actually, we have more rich people than they do, especially post-election of Donald Trump.
00:13:47.000Let's use the ability to raise capital without public disclosure against Republicans.
00:13:54.000So that's a very, very important thing to recognize is to the Democrats' credit, they were the loudest ones to complain post-Citizens United decision.
00:14:04.000The Citizens United decision, which I believe Clarence Thomas wrote the opinion for this Citizens United decision, basically said that you cannot regulate the amount of political speech.
00:14:15.000So you could give unlimited politically.
00:14:17.000You might have to have disclosure laws and public stuff, but you can't put limits on how much an American citizen will engage politically.
00:14:23.000And there are some really good arguments that were made in that court case.
00:14:26.000For example, would a book written negatively about Hillary Clinton be considered to be a campaign contribution?
00:14:33.000That was actually one of the pieces of evidence that was presented in the Citizens United Supreme Court case.
00:14:39.000And the liberal judges or the liberal advocates or plaintiffs said yes, that would be considered to be a political contribution.
00:14:46.000So our podcast, radio program, our commentary, our books all could have become regulated political speech.
00:14:54.000So the Supreme Court made the right decision by saying, no, we are not going to micromanage podcasting, news broadcasting, newspaper articles, and say that that's political speech.
00:15:04.000So anyway, so Citizens United set a precedent for a flow of capital, and Republicans were the first ones to use it.
00:15:11.000The Koch brothers used it a lot in the early 2012, 13, 14, 15.
00:15:16.000You started to see it emerge more and more.
00:15:18.000And Democrats got very wise to it, and they said, wait a second, why don't we start pumping our own money of our tech oligarchs, especially with the tech boom, into things such as Priorities USA and all this other stuff.
00:15:31.000According to crypto whale analysis, Sam Bankman-Fried made donations on over 100 instances.
00:15:37.000Out of these instances, only nine were to Republicans, and they weren't Republicans that we like, by the way.
00:15:44.000The investigation and the subsequent trial revealed that Sam Bankman Freed had planned to donate over $1 billion to Democrats in the 2024 election.
00:15:54.000Now, this story is really important, everybody, for a variety of reasons.
00:15:58.000You're now getting a very accurate and unprecedented picture into how the deep state and the Uniparty finances their schemes, how the administrative state is able to recruit candidates, how they are able to support their entire infrastructure.
00:16:17.000The buried lead of the Sam Bankman-Freed fraud case is, yes, he's a bad guy who got really cocky and thought highly of himself and he believed in this fake effect of altruism.
00:16:29.000But a level deeper, everybody, is we are now getting a window into the dark money that subsidizes the deep state.
00:16:36.000Now, not all dark money subsidizes the deep state, but this certainly does.
00:16:40.000Sam Bankman Freed was not giving because of ideological reasons.
00:16:44.000He was giving for naked political protection.
00:16:48.000And then we're going to go a level deeper about restitution.
00:18:18.000Maggie Hassan, New Hampshire Democrat Party.
00:18:21.000What we need to demand is to have a judge come in, and this might happen whether they return the money voluntarily or not, and say you must refund the money.
00:18:33.000The money that was given to the Democrat Party must be returned because there's going to be massive restitution campaigns, big time.
00:18:45.000Sam Bankman Freed significantly impacted the 2022 midterms.
00:18:50.000But it makes you think: is it happening now?
00:22:53.000If you listen to that tape, he says, yeah, I'm not going to vote for them.
00:22:56.000I don't believe in what they believe, but I'm still going to have the label.
00:23:00.000And the answer is because his role to play is to pretend he is one of us with the label to give him credibility on cable news channels, to give him alleged credibility to undermine us.
00:23:13.000If Adam Kinzinger become a quote-unquote Democrat, he actually becomes far less useful to the regime.
00:23:45.000Hasn't found a war that doesn't want to send your grandkids to go fight and die in.
00:23:50.000Adam Kinzinger, though, his role, like Ken Buck, his role, like Mitt Romney, is to slow down the fervor and the intensity of an opposition party.
00:24:03.000It slows down the Republican Party unifying to become an actual opposition party, and instead, Adam Kinzinger is controlled opposition.
00:24:15.000Adam Kinzinger will wear the jersey of a Republican, and even when asked by Adam Kinzinger, he refuses to take the jersey off.
00:24:24.000Adam Kinzinger has a new book out, Renegade Defending Democracy and Liberty in Our Divided Country.
00:24:31.000He says, I would love to run against Ted Cruz, the most complete con artist in politics, like one of them, to be able to run against his face in public would be amazing.
00:24:39.000Adam Kinzinger is so afraid of his voters, he decided not to run again in Illinois.
00:24:43.000Adam Kinzinger is very similar to other members of Congress and other people in the Republican Party.
00:24:50.000Their role is to stop us from being a legit opposition party.
00:24:56.000And the other element is they enjoy being liked on television.
00:25:03.000These are deeply insecure people, deeply insecure people.
00:25:09.000They don't have strong beliefs on anything, except it's foreign countries and foreign wars.
00:25:17.000Yet Adam Kinzinger will not leave, even though we're trying to kick him out, even though we tell him there's no place for it, because he's an insurgent.
00:25:31.000And one of the positives of the Trump movement is that we finally can take the masks off of these pretenders to reveal the people within the Republican Party that are not one of us.
00:25:47.000And what I find hilarious is sometimes people say, but Charlie, why can't we just unify with the Adam Kinzinger types?

00:30:18.000I am convinced with Eric Adams, they had this one sitting and waiting.
00:30:22.000And you're trying to tell me they ordered the hit of the raid of his fundraiser the day that Eric Adams was going down to D.C. to shine a light on the open borders and how it's flooding New York?
00:30:36.000So Eric Adams is running for a local, it's not low, it is local, mayor's race, and the Turkish government wants to influence the city of New York.
00:30:46.000Like, why don't you guys worry about, I don't know, the Muslim Brotherhood Persian infiltration into the State Department.
00:30:54.000Even if Eric Adams was bought by the Turkish government, what is the worst thing Eric Adams could do as mayor of New York in advancement of Turkish interests?
00:31:04.000I'm not saying it's ethical or admirable, but the amount of pay-for-play foreign purchasing of elected officials and bureaucrats in our State Department and in our Department of Defense is so naked.
00:31:16.000It is so clear that I'm not that interested in the mayor of New York, whether or not he got donations from Turkey.
00:31:25.000But we know why he flew too close to the sun.
00:31:41.000And mass migration from the third world is a top priority of Joe Biden and the regime.
00:31:47.000They must allow as many people from the third world as possible, and you must keep your mouth shut.
00:31:53.000Eric Adams, being a former cop black mayor, who I don't even think is a good mayor, by the way.
00:31:58.000But he was saying some good things, complaining about how the city is being overrun, how the city is being trashed by illegals, real erosion of support in the black community, and the Biden mafia had to order a hit.
00:32:55.000You think that Karen Bass, the mayor of Los Angeles, is going to come out and do a big press conference about the illegals destroying L.A. and L.A. County?
