This episode is presented by Create A Video – The online fundraising platform for Democrats allowed foreign-bought gift cards to be donated to campaigns and candidates, in violation of law. ActBlue is under Congressional scrutiny for its lax security that may have allowed massive sums of money to flow into Democrat coffers.

[00:00:28] Now, you know me. I try not to make predictions. But I think I did make one. I'm pretty sure I said that I suspect that the governor or the incoming governor of North Carolina is probably going to sue over Senate Bill 382. And while I cannot precisely remember if I did, in fact, make that prediction, I'm going to say I did and I'm going to say it came true.
[00:00:56] So, like, no, I'm pretty sure. I'm like 90-91% sure that I said, yeah, I expect there to be litigation over the matter. Because why wouldn't there be? Cooper has sued over all similar pieces of legislation before.
[00:01:13] So, as expected, Josh Stein, the incoming governor, Roy 2D2. Should I go with the Roy 2D2 or Ray 2D2? Ray 2D2? My good friend Ray Cooper? I'm going to have to, you know, I'm going to have to retire that. That's too bad. I've been using that one for a while. Eight years. Man, that's...
[00:01:40] You hate to see the good ones retire. You know, it's the end of an era. But Stein and Cooper are headed to court to block changes to control of the North Carolina State Highway Patrol's top leadership post.
[00:01:58] This was part of Senate Bill 382. Did not get a lot of attention, not a lot of coverage.
[00:02:04] But the changes were part of Senate Bill 382. And the lawsuit is only about, apparently, and I have not had a chance to read the actual complaint, the lawsuit, but it's only about the Highway Patrol leadership post.
[00:02:21] We had a call, actually, yesterday, I think, or the day before.
[00:02:29] The case is Stein v. Moore, House Speaker Tim Moore.
[00:02:35] It also names Senate Leader Phil Berger and the State Highway Patrol Commander Freddie Johnson as defendants.
[00:02:43] Stein and Cooper are targeting part of the bill, the 132-page bill that reorganizes the Highway Patrol.
[00:02:53] Quote,
[00:02:54] As a principal, cabinet-level department and legislatively appoints the commander of the patrol, now the equivalent of a cabinet secretary to the governor, but not accountable to the governor.
[00:03:08] And it allows that person to serve until July 1 of 2030.
[00:03:13] Carolina Journal reports that the commander takes over duties that had been assigned to the State Department of Public Safety, which has been led by a Cooper appointee.
[00:03:23] These include state law enforcement and emergency services and responses to crime and natural and man-made disasters.
[00:03:33] The law specifies that Johnson, patrol commander, since an appointment from Cooper back in April of 2021, that he'll continue serving through June of 2030, barring death, resignation, or physical or mental incapacity.
[00:03:50] Quote,
[00:03:52] Incredibly, Senate Bill 382 prohibits the governor or anybody else from removing the legislatively appointed commander for any reason, even if he were to commit serious criminal misconduct.
[00:04:07] Moreover, Senate Bill 382 threatens the safety of North Carolinians by eliminating the governor's powers of supervision and removal over the commander.
[00:04:18] The legislatively appointed commander may feel empowered to delay, modify, or flatly reject the direction that he receives from the governor.
[00:04:28] Like, I should be able to direct the governor.
[00:04:34] Instead of highway patrol.
[00:04:37] And so the lawsuit continues that this fracturing of the chain of command for state law enforcement in North Carolina plainly and clearly violates constitutional provisions ultimately intended to protect public safety and ensure accountability to the people.
[00:04:54] They're seeking an injunction and blocking of the, to block the, the, the, the section of Senate Bill 382 and to call it unconstitutional.
[00:05:04] So lawsuit filed.
[00:05:06] Um, they say that in the lawsuit that it violates the separation of powers established in the state constitution.
[00:05:14] And governor Cooper said, quote, it's fundamental to our constitution that the legislature cannot both make the laws and then choose the leaders who enforce them.
[00:05:29] So, I don't know.
[00:05:30] I don't know.
[00:05:30] We'll see.
[00:05:31] We'll see how it works out.
[00:05:32] We'll wait for the evidence.
[00:05:33] I see.
[00:05:33] And I'm okay with that.
[00:05:35] I am okay.
[00:05:36] I'm okay letting the, uh, litigants make their case and then hearing their response, right?
[00:05:43] And then assessing their arguments.
[00:05:46] I am okay with that.
[00:05:48] I don't need to have an opinion right now about whether or not it's a frivolous lawsuit or it has merit or it doesn't or whatever.
[00:05:57] Like, I, I, I'm okay with, with waiting.
[00:06:00] So we'll see how that turns out.
[00:06:02] Um, by the way, Josh Stein, uh, used it to, uh, the passage of, uh, Senate Bill 382 to fundraise.
[00:06:10] I will come back to that.
[00:06:12] I will come back to that.
[00:06:14] Well, you know what?
[00:06:15] Actually, hang on a second.
[00:06:16] Let's just do it now.
[00:06:17] I'll do it live.
[00:06:19] We'll do it live.
[00:06:20] All right.
[00:06:23] Stein put out a, um, we, we get his, um,
[00:06:27] his e-blasts asking for our money.
[00:06:30] I don't, I don't know why, but, um, but we get them here in, uh, at the station.
[00:06:36] So I read through it and he, first off, he starts off folks.
[00:06:42] Cause that's him.
[00:06:43] You know, he, he's a folks kind of guy.
[00:06:45] In an outrageous move, Republicans just ignored the people of Western North Carolina and undermined the voters of our state.
[00:06:54] Okay.
[00:06:54] They did not ignore the people of Western North Carolina.
[00:06:59] I, I covered a lot of this yesterday.
[00:07:01] Josh Stein, Roy 2D2 is running around out there or wheeling around, if you will, out there, um, claiming that somehow or another $227 million and regulatory relief to allow for temporary shelters to be constructed.
[00:07:16] Asap.
[00:07:17] Asap.
[00:07:18] That somehow or another, this is not, uh, helpful to Western North Carolina, that this is ignoring the people.
[00:07:25] When it is clearly not.
[00:07:27] There is a fund.
[00:07:29] It's called the Helene fund that they put money into.
[00:07:32] And then the money gets drawn out.
[00:07:34] Oh, by the way, there is an audit, uh, that just was released by, uh, the state auditor, Jessica Holmes, a Cooper appointee Democrat who lost to Dave Bolick in the general election.
[00:07:48] But an audit from DP of DPS, the department of public safety, where the highway patrol is housed under audit just came out that DPS failed to implement procedures and monitor spending of hurricane.
[00:08:04] Hurricane Florence recovery funds.
[00:08:07] Hurricane Florence hit in 2018 and, uh, and, and, and you didn't monitor the spending.
[00:08:17] This is why lawmakers do not trust the Cooper administration to properly administer relief efforts and recovery efforts.
[00:08:30] Cooper has proven himself to be not up to the task, whether it was hurricane Matthew, hurricane Florence, COVID.
[00:08:39] He sucks at it.
[00:08:41] And he, he gets a pass from the North Carolina press corps on this stuff.
[00:08:48] It is beyond me.
[00:08:51] Maybe after he's at, no, I said, uh, I was about to say maybe after he's out of office, then people will start doing like postmortems on this and actually investigate.
[00:09:00] Investigate his inability and his shortcomings, uh, on recovery.
[00:09:05] But no, they're not going to do that because they think he's probably going to run for U S Senate.
[00:09:11] So they don't want to ruin his legacy as he's gearing up for a run for U S Senate, which by the way, he refused to address yesterday or day before at some, you know, photo op.
[00:09:22] Somebody asked him about it and he's like, I'm not here to talk about that.
[00:09:25] So that means he's running.
[00:09:26] Okay.
[00:09:26] That means he's running.
[00:09:28] He's going to probably challenge Tom Tillis.
[00:09:31] But I found this interesting that in his appeal, in Josh Stein's fundraising email after Senate bill 382 passed, he's like, we need your money.
[00:09:43] Give me money.
[00:09:44] Can you contribute $25 to our fight against the extreme NC GOP?
[00:09:49] So they're still fundraising.
[00:09:52] He's already won the race, but he's sending out fundraising emails.
[00:09:58] And he's saying that, that you need to donate to him because the Republicans ignored Western North Carolina, which like, wouldn't you, shouldn't you be encouraging people to donate $25 to relief efforts out in Western North Carolina?
[00:10:11] If that's your priority.
[00:10:13] But no, he slaps in there a link to the fundraising platform, act blue.
[00:10:20] And that brings me to act blue.
[00:10:25] A story by John Solomon.
[00:10:28] That apparently.
[00:10:30] They did not shut down foreign gift cards.
[00:10:39] They were accepting gift cards.
[00:10:44] And not automatically blocking the donations that were made with the gift cards with foreign, that were the purchase of the gift cards were made overseas.
[00:10:55] Foreign purchased gift cards.
[00:10:58] They only shut it down when Congress started looking.
[00:11:05] And this actually matters.

[00:12:09] ActBlue is the massive online fundraising platform for liberal causes.
[00:12:15] All the money that people donate to Democrat candidates all runs through ActBlue.
[00:12:25] And this allows whoever is in control of ActBlue to divvy up the money how they see fit.
[00:12:33] Right?
[00:12:34] So they can give preferential treatment to particular races or candidates or states or causes or whatever.
[00:12:41] So ActBlue.
[00:12:43] They take a little bit of the administrative costs, whatever.
[00:12:45] I do not know how they break down the money.
[00:12:49] But every online donation that you make to a Democrat goes through ActBlue.
[00:12:55] And the Republicans have one.
[00:12:56] It's called WinRed.
[00:12:57] Okay?
[00:12:57] Okay.
[00:12:58] Um, but if you were around and paying attention during the 2008 presidential race, you'll remember a story about Obama for America.
[00:13:12] That campaign.
[00:13:15] Obama's campaign was, and I covered this at the time, sitting right in this chair.
[00:13:20] Maybe not the exact same chair, but the same spot at the table.
[00:13:26] Obama not only took down the Clinton machine, but built this entire fundraising framework, which probably became ActBlue.
[00:13:36] I don't know.
[00:13:37] I don't remember the name of the, I don't remember the name of the system that they used or what they called it.
[00:13:44] Um, but they built this entire, um, system and it, it took all these, you know, donations, small donations, five, $10 here and there.
[00:13:55] And they would, you know, hit people with emails and texts.
[00:13:57] It was just groundbreaking stuff.
[00:14:02] And that then, that was, that was sort of the, the, the keys to the kingdom.
[00:14:07] And that list, that donor list with all these people on it that were, you know, just donating little amounts of money.
[00:14:14] And then you could keep going back to them, hitting them up with, you know, extra money, whatever.
[00:14:19] So, no, it wasn't called Leviathan, but it might as well have been, it was something like, I forget what it was called.
[00:14:24] But, um, the point is that they did not turn off foreign donations.
[00:14:32] And it was a simple fix to do.
[00:14:34] When you set up your donor, uh, your donation portal, your website to take these donations, you can simply click on a, uh, on a button that says, you know, don't accept donations from outside the U S and they didn't turn it on.
[00:14:49] And so when Obama broke his very first promise that he broke, the very first one was that he would take the federal campaign financing money, that he would do that just like every other presidential candidate from both parties had done since Nixon.
[00:15:05] And John McCain had said he would do, but he had to, cause he took a loan against it.
[00:15:09] Um, and Obama said he would too.
[00:15:12] And then he didn't, he broke that promise.
[00:15:14] Why?
[00:15:15] So he could out raise John McCain to the tune of almost a billion dollars and then win.
[00:15:25] And then when he won, they shut down the investigation into the fundraising platform that took outside funding, which is illegal.
[00:15:34] You're not allowed to take money from foreign sources when you run for office, which makes sense, right?
[00:15:40] You don't want foreign governments buying politicians.
[00:15:45] Well, I mean, overtly, right?
[00:15:47] I mean, you don't, that's the idea.
[00:15:50] You can't be funding presidential campaigns with foreign dollars.
[00:15:57] And that's why this is significant with act blue.
[00:16:01] Because if you're living overseas and you buy and you get, go out and get a gift card and use the gift card as the donation credit card number on the act blue site, you bought the foreign gift card and you're donating it under somebody else's name.
[00:16:21] But they know it's a foreign gift card.
[00:16:49] But they know it's a foreign bought gift card.
[00:16:52] And그램ity.

[00:16:57] Send me a message.
[00:16:58] Pete.
[00:16:58] The Pete.
[00:16:59] Calendar show.
[00:17:00] dot com and I can show you how it works run the numbers with you again that's Pete at the Pete
[00:17:04] calendar show dot com all right so why does the date matter the date that act blue finally turned
[00:17:14] on the auto block feature to prevent foreign bought gift cards from being used to fund political
[00:17:24] campaigns house administration chairman Brian Steele or style I'm going with Steele because again
[00:17:33] another Dickensian name in a story it's Brian Steele Republican from Wisconsin his panel oversees
[00:17:42] election integrity and he told John Solomon at just the news dot com that act blue turned over
[00:17:50] documents under subpoena showing a major change to their policy to its donor verification policies
[00:17:57] on September 9th right and that change is designed to protect against illicit money flowing into
[00:18:05] political campaigns September 9th the change occurred three days after Steele had introduced
[00:18:14] a piece of legislation called the shield act or the secure handling of internet electronic donations
[00:18:23] act the shield act to ensure that foreign money stayed out of online political fundraising before the change
[00:18:32] Steele said that donations made with foreign gift cards were not automatically rejected by act blue
[00:18:39] before the change and uh by the way there was a uh a researcher at the capital research
[00:18:49] group I think uh who proved that even after September 9th he was able to use gift cards
[00:18:58] and that's a problem that's a problem when you have gift cards foreign bought gift cards
[00:19:05] that are used you have to attach them to a name do you remember the stories
[00:19:16] about
[00:19:19] people having their names pop up in federal election commission filings the fundraising filings like
[00:19:28] every quarter every month whatever like the campaigns have to file the paperwork that
[00:19:32] shows who donated and how much and then you can search public databases of the people's donations
[00:19:41] that's how you end up knowing who has made these donations and um that's for you know open government
[00:19:49] transparency purposes so and so if you try to donate money if you've never donated money to a political
[00:19:56] campaign they ask you a bunch of questions you know name and address obviously um but what field you work in what
[00:20:04] profession what company you work for
[00:20:08] and if you are a foreign if you're buying foreign gift cards if you are a foreign actor
[00:20:16] you have to attach information to that donation
[00:20:23] so what do you put in these fields when you're filling out the boxes right
[00:20:28] what name do you use what address because if you put in a foreign address you get bounced out
[00:20:34] because you're not allowed to be donating to political campaigns
[00:20:38] do you remember the stories about people who had made
[00:20:45] hundreds or even thousands of small dollar donations to political campaigns
[00:20:52] and then when asked by a couple of media outlets
[00:20:55] undercover people like steven horn from um
[00:20:59] uh the the triangle area um
[00:21:03] he did some of these videos he did some of these reports
[00:21:06] i believe james o'keefe and his uh o'keefe media group i think they
[00:21:10] also did some of this where they tracked down some of these donors
[00:21:13] and they asked them did you make these donations
[00:21:17] and they say no
[00:21:19] they were like oh yeah i don't and these are democrat voters
[00:21:22] democrat donors i should say
[00:21:24] and they're like oh no i made a
[00:21:26] twenty dollar or fifty dollar donation
[00:21:29] to
[00:21:30] whatever democrat candidate
[00:21:33] and then they were shown
[00:21:34] the fec filings
[00:21:36] and they've got
[00:21:37] twenty or thirty donations
[00:21:40] of
[00:21:42] fifty a hundred
[00:21:43] two hundred fifty dollars
[00:21:45] and they're like i like i did not make
[00:21:48] twenty six thousand dollars worth of donations
[00:21:50] to the harris campaign
[00:21:52] or the biden campaign
[00:21:55] the donors say
[00:21:56] they did not make those donations
[00:21:58] now they didn't get scammed out of money
[00:22:00] i want to be clear right
[00:22:01] these the donors
[00:22:03] that were listed
[00:22:04] they didn't pay any money
[00:22:07] and
[00:22:09] so what's the
[00:22:10] so like what would be the benefit of that
[00:22:12] who who would be using their names
[00:22:14] is this like some
[00:22:15] clerical mistake or something
[00:22:17] or
[00:22:19] is this the missing piece of the puzzle
[00:22:23] you've got
[00:22:24] foreign
[00:22:25] donations coming in
[00:22:27] and they have to attach
[00:22:29] the donation
[00:22:31] to a person's name
[00:22:33] and
[00:22:34] when you make any donation
[00:22:36] your name goes into these public files
[00:22:38] which anybody can access
[00:22:40] so if you are trying
[00:22:42] to make donations
[00:22:44] to a particular campaign
[00:22:46] or candidate
[00:22:47] you can just
[00:22:49] and and you can run a code
[00:22:50] you can write a code
[00:22:52] right
[00:22:52] that would just
[00:22:53] go through these
[00:22:55] um
[00:22:55] spreadsheets basically
[00:22:57] go through the
[00:22:58] the websites
[00:22:59] scrape the data
[00:23:00] pull people's names
[00:23:01] their uh
[00:23:03] addresses
[00:23:04] their occupations
[00:23:05] right
[00:23:05] fill in the fields
[00:23:07] that are required
[00:23:08] and then plug in the
[00:23:10] foreign bought
[00:23:11] gift card donation
[00:23:13] and so the person
[00:23:14] who legitimately
[00:23:15] made the $20
[00:23:16] donation
[00:23:17] to Joe Biden
[00:23:19] now
[00:23:20] according to
[00:23:20] FEC filings
[00:23:21] they've made
[00:23:22] $20,000
[00:23:23] worth of donations
[00:23:24] to Joe Biden
[00:23:25] they never paid that money
[00:23:26] somebody did
[00:23:27] somebody made
[00:23:29] those donations
[00:23:31] who
[00:23:31] don't know
[00:23:32] right
[00:23:33] don't know
[00:23:35] nobody is
[00:23:36] and I've not seen
[00:23:38] any reporting
[00:23:39] on this story
[00:23:40] it's been
[00:23:40] it's been
[00:23:41] I want to say
[00:23:42] probably a year
[00:23:43] since I became aware
[00:23:45] of this problem
[00:23:46] and these stories
[00:23:47] that are reported
[00:23:48] in conservative media
[00:23:49] I've not seen
[00:23:50] anybody take up
[00:23:51] these stories
[00:23:51] in legacy outlets
[00:23:53] in corporate media
[00:23:54] you know
[00:23:55] left-leaning outlets
[00:23:56] why
[00:23:57] is somebody
[00:23:58] buying your elections
[00:23:59] that you don't even know
[00:24:01] is Act Blue
[00:24:02] getting taken advantage of
[00:24:05] what are they
[00:24:06] like
[00:24:07] why are they
[00:24:07] making these donations
[00:24:08] how is this happening
[00:24:10] why is it happening
[00:24:11] don't you care
[00:24:13] Steele disclosed
[00:24:15] so by the way
[00:24:16] the date is important
[00:24:17] because when Steele
[00:24:18] introduces this legislation
[00:24:20] on September 6th
[00:24:21] three days later
[00:24:23] Act Blue
[00:24:23] locks it down
[00:24:26] which to me
[00:24:27] indicates
[00:24:28] they knew
[00:24:29] they knew exactly
[00:24:31] what was going on
[00:24:31] and they allowed it
[00:24:33] to occur
[00:24:34] what would be the benefit
[00:24:35] of that Pete
[00:24:36] why does the Act Blue
[00:24:39] bombshell
[00:24:39] as John Solomon
[00:24:40] calls it
[00:24:41] at justthenews.com
[00:24:42] why does this matter
[00:24:43] well
[00:24:44] if
[00:24:44] let's say
[00:24:47] oh
[00:24:47] I'm just going to
[00:24:48] make up an example
[00:24:48] here
[00:24:49] but let's say
[00:24:49] you've got
[00:24:50] an incumbent
[00:24:51] president
[00:24:52] who is going to
[00:24:53] run for re-election
[00:24:54] but then it turns out
[00:24:55] he is so cognitively
[00:24:57] impaired
[00:24:57] that he could not
[00:24:58] possibly stand
[00:24:59] for re-election
[00:24:59] but
[00:25:00] he has already
[00:25:01] gotten
[00:25:02] like the nomination
[00:25:03] there's no primaries
[00:25:04] so they swap
[00:25:05] him out
[00:25:06] for the vice president
[00:25:07] I'm just making
[00:25:08] this up
[00:25:09] alright
[00:25:09] so like
[00:25:09] I know
[00:25:10] it seems really
[00:25:10] far-fetched
[00:25:11] that like
[00:25:11] that kind
[00:25:11] of a coup
[00:25:12] could happen
[00:25:12] in America
[00:25:13] but
[00:25:14] let's just
[00:25:14] say that
[00:25:15] happened
[00:25:16] then
[00:25:16] you want
[00:25:17] to show
[00:25:17] everybody
[00:25:18] how
[00:25:19] super
[00:25:19] super
[00:25:21] popular
[00:25:21] this move
[00:25:22] was
[00:25:23] and how
[00:25:23] it is
[00:25:24] actually
[00:25:24] an example
[00:25:25] of the
[00:25:25] democracy
[00:25:26] well
[00:25:27] you might
[00:25:27] put out
[00:25:28] a statement
[00:25:29] such as
[00:25:30] this
[00:25:30] back in
[00:25:31] July
[00:25:31] of
[00:25:32] 2024
[00:25:33] July 22nd
[00:25:34] as a
[00:25:34] matter of fact
[00:25:35] ActBlue

[00:25:39] small
[00:25:39] donor
[00:25:40] small
[00:25:41] dollar
[00:25:41] donors
[00:25:42] had
[00:25:42] contributed
[00:25:43] 46.7
[00:25:45] million
[00:25:45] dollars
[00:25:51] announcement
[00:25:52] of a
[00:25:53] vice
[00:25:53] president's
[00:25:54] campaign
[00:25:54] launch
[00:25:55] for
[00:25:55] president
[00:25:55] this
[00:25:56] has
[00:25:57] been
[00:25:57] the
[00:25:57] biggest
[00:25:58] fundraising
[00:25:58] day

[00:26:05] to
[00:26:05] take
[00:26:05] on
[00:26:05] this
[00:26:06] election
[00:26:07] a
[00:26:08] flood
[00:26:08] of
[00:26:09] money
[00:26:09] comes
[00:26:10] pouring
[00:26:11] in
[00:26:12] obviously
[00:26:13] I'm
[00:26:13] reading
[00:26:13] from
[00:26:13] the
[00:26:14] press
[00:26:14] release
[00:26:14] that
[00:26:15] came
[00:26:15] from

[00:26:28] was
[00:26:28] such
[00:26:28] a
[00:26:28] super
[00:26:29] popular
[00:26:29] thing
