Paul Bonder, a Texas outsider running in the GOP primary for Congress’s 32nd district, cites systemic failures—COVID-19 mismanagement, Epstein cover-ups, and law enforcement impunity—as proof of government corruption. He accuses opponent Jace Yarbo of $4.9M in undisclosed dark money from Strong PAC (C0093-7094), calling it a rigged system favoring elites over grassroots candidates. Bonder warns of immigration-driven cultural shifts, linking them to globalist agendas like Klaus Schwab’s, and demands direct donations to bondar.com to restore transparency. His campaign frames the election as a fight against establishment control, urging supporters to reject what he calls a "banana republic" model. [Automatically generated summary]
Hey, everybody, Jason Burmes here, and we are going to get into some big league politics.
Today, we're going to be talking to Paul Bonder.
He's running for Congress in Texas in the 32nd district.
Thank you so much for joining us, Paul.
First and foremost, let's talk about where we are in this election cycle because we're in the primary process of the Republicans making that nomination.
What made you want to get into politics in the first place?
And what are your main oppositions of getting that nomination right now?
Yeah, the first thing is, is you just look around and you see the American people are not represented well across the board.
Our government is not working for the people.
The people are continuously working for the government.
And it's getting further and further of a gap where, you know, the government is supposed to be created to serve our people.
And COVID really showed me it was a very fine line between having our Constitution be followed and going into an abyss.
And so I think COVID-19 really was a catalyst to say we can no longer stand by and just watch other people and just cross our fingers and hope we have got to get involved.
And as somebody that has two grandfathers that both went to Europe and served in World War II and dedicated about four years of their lives fighting for this country, it's all hands on deck.
We all have to do that.
As Ronald Reagan said, we're one generation away from losing freedom.
And it's time our generation steps up and defends this country.
So let's talk about that a little bit because so many people that were either not politically involved or even astute in many ways, that was the line in the sand and has woken up a lot of people.
On the other hand, there are still people that maybe did things that they aren't so proud of that refuse to even acknowledge that that happened.
You know, I mean, you know, I remember people that were not only internet shaming, but demanding you wear a mask and worse that now just act like, hey, they weren't part of that crowd, and they certainly were.
What alarms me is that we've had no criminal accountability for any of the establishment, whether it be globally via the World Health Organization and these NGOs or right here at home with people like Fauci and EcoHealth Alliance.
If elected, is that something that you would seek?
Because, you know, unfortunately, this administration especially has been ultra silent on that.
And you really only see people like Thomas Massey or Rand Paul even, you know, hinting at accountability there.
Yeah, I mean, your first description, I think you were describing it.
I was wondering if you're describing Anthony Fauci himself.
You know, there needs to be accountability in this country.
And if we don't have accountability, our government loses credibility.
And as somebody that is fed up with people saying that they're going to come in, they're going to stamp credibility and we never see it.
I would join Massey in a lot of these issues.
Absolutely.
Thank you, Thomas Massey, for not being a bought and paid for puppet and actually speaking out and trying to do the things that are right.
You need more people like Massey in Congress.
I would be another one.
And it starts with one and then you get another.
And then hopefully you can get some people that are on the sidelines to say, hey, I found my spine and I'm willing to remember why I ran for Congress to begin with.
And I'm going to do the right things.
And I think the right thing is the American people deserve honesty, transparency, and justice and accountability.
We have it in the Epstein files where the folks here in CD32, Texans, that was a very red area of America.
But a lot of people here, they're very frustrated with the lack of transparency with Epstein.
They're very upset about the lack of accountability with COVID.
And it's time we get leaders that are not just going to pay lip service and just brush over things like they never happened.
It's time people take accountability for these actions, and we got to prevent them from ever happening again.
So you brought up Epstein, and this seems to be the one issue that has bridged the gap between left and right, Republican, Democrat, et cetera, in a lot of ways.
Now, the rhetoric on both sides might be a little different, but when you dig into the general populace, they're very upset about this.
They do want accountability.
It's echoed so much that you've seen now in Europe, not just the stripping of Andrew's title, but a slap on the wrist type of arrest, much more than we've gotten here, unfortunately.
Obviously, nothing to do with the abuse of underage girls that is alleged in the files and beyond.
But at the same time, we haven't done anything here.
And then you have Lord Peter Mandelson, kind of makes me want to throw up in my mouth saying Lord anything.
But Mandelson also arrested, heavily involved, not only in European politics, but right here in the United States as well.
None of this is really new.
We've had a lot of this documentation for years.
You know, I've been covering this story for almost two decades at this point.
But with these emails, we clearly see that he's tipping off Epstein on the $500 billion, what will be $750 billion bailout of the Euro.
I mean, talk about global insider trading.
I mean, it's massive.
And now he's also been arrested.
Do we even get that here?
And how do we get that here?
Because we obviously have a corrupt Department of Justice, whether that be the FBI, the Central Intelligence Agency, the NSA, and a dozen other agencies.
You know, Christy Noam's on a podcast saying how members of DHS bugged her and they didn't arrest them.
They just fired them.
It's like, what is going on in our country?
So what would be your plan for any type of criminal accountability?
Because I mean, for instance, Massey, bang up job with this bill, right?
But at the same time, we've gotten 3 million pages.
We know of 250 million more pages out there, but the redactions are so corrupt and so beyond quote unquote protecting the victims that it's almost absurd.
So I'll give you the floor.
Well, Jason, you're absolutely right.
And there's a lot to unpack with the statements that you just made.
Let me try to do that and separate the issues that you identified so eloquently.
Number one, at the end of the day, even though we have division within this country and it seems like the Democrats and Republicans all want to rip each other's faces off and we have blue cities and most of rural America is red, we have one uniting factor that remains strong or should remain strong across the board.
Kids have to come before politics.
Most of us are parents.
Most of us have kids and kids have to come before politics.
Bottom line.
And I think whether you're a Republican or a Democrat, the one uniting aspect is that we cannot have kids be abused in this country, and we cannot turn a blind eye to that.
And it doesn't matter the political class that's involved.
Accountability has to be in this country.
We have a lot of politicians that talk the rhetoric about nobody being against above the law.
I hear the Democrats say it all the time about Donald Trump.
I hear, you know, I hear the Republicans say it all the time about people as well.
And so both parties are right in the regard to kids need to be protected.
And so let's unify around that and say, hey, that's a 99 to one issue, percent issue.
And the 1% of the people that are the bad actors and the bad apples, they need to be dealt with.
Now, you talked about some other aspects.
Thomas Massey, I really appreciate his independence in this on a lot of different things.
And, you know, we need to have other people in Congress that are going to support and be independent.
Now, one of the biggest issues that I will say that's systemic on why we're not getting things moving forward, and you asked me earlier about my race specifically, is the issue of dark money.
Dark money is what controls our elections.
I'm running against a guy that's being funded and never held office, lives 77 miles out of the district.
Think about that.
It's a two-hour car ride if he hits a little traffic just to get in the district, has a bunch of endorsements, and $1.almost $5 million in dark money.
And I tell you, everybody that whines and groans about why we can't get politicians out and talks about flapping their gums about term limits, well, term limits is the weed that we see above the ground.
And the real root of the evil is dark money that's undisclosed where you don't know who's electing your public officials.
And just like my dog, when somebody comes over and feeds my dog, eventually my dog will run to that person more than me because he's being fed by that person.
Dark money is what feeds our politicians.
And our politicians can only have one master because you can only serve one master.
And until we have campaign finance reform where our PACs that exist disclose where the funds are coming from, this whole political game is nothing more than a charade because it's a liquidity event for rich people and groups to be able to fund candidates like putting chips on a roulette board and say, I'm going to own 40, 50 different people in office by funding their campaigns.
And now all of a sudden, I have influence in our political system.
That is the real story.
And that's why nothing really gets done.
That's how people get protected.
Now, I'm speaking out about this.
And it's funny you brought up Christy Noam.
My campaign manager's phone was hacked yesterday.
Somebody was trying to get into all his stuff.
All of my campaign team, we're getting calls from unknown callers.
Now, what is that?
I don't know.
Is it a shot across the bow because I'm talking about dark money and I'm revealing things that just like the Wizard of Oz don't look behind that curtain?
Probably so.
Does that mean I'm a good candidate?
Probably so.
Does that mean I'm plugged in with the establishment and I'm a pawn and I'm a puppet?
No, because you don't talk about those things if you're one of those.
So that's the systemic problem on why things don't get done.
Everybody goes to DC for the Republican side and the Democrat side, they all point fingers and say we're going to fight, fight, fight.
But unfortunately, we need to go to Capitol Hill and we need to work.
We need to work and we need to bring real solutions.
That's what I have done as a businessman my whole life for two and a half decades.
I had clients that I had to represent.
I had insurance companies that I represented and would fight the bureaucracy thereof.
And we would find ways to bring solutions to both parties and get things accomplished.
Because if you just fight in business, you don't produce a result and pretty soon you're going to be out of business.
It's time that government starts acting like a business instead of a hijacked monopoly, which railroads its shareholders, which are the citizens and the good people of this country, and just serves those who provide the money and feed them like they feed my dog.
Pac Power Play00:09:12
So you mentioned the dark money and you mentioned who you're up against and you're referring to Jace Yarbo.
And it seems some of that money is coming from a guy named Peter Thial.
Now, I've been covering Thial literally, again, you can go watch my 2013 film, Shade the Motion Picture, large section on that.
You know, aside from coming up through PayPal and now being notorious for Palantir, this is a guy that sits across Eric Schmidt as a steering committee member over at Bilderberg and is all up in the Epstein files and all up in the Epstein files post the conviction in 2008.
I mean, you've literally got Epstein talking to Ahud Barak on his way out of government and suggesting this up-and-coming company, Palantir, in 2013, in which he should sit on the board.
It's things like that.
You know, Teal was Trump's technology secretary in his first term, seemed to turn on him when he dared question the election.
But on the way back around, if anybody has half a brain, the reason JD Vance is there is he's an acolyte of teal and palantir is bigger than ever.
I mean, we've got Alex Karp out there, you know, at shareholder meetings laughing about, and sometimes we kill people.
Now, see, in some cases, I appreciate the stark honesty.
But at the same time, when this is essentially not only a data collection company, but one that may not be working in the best interest of the United States and our Constitutional Republic, I mean, it is part of Five Eyes, and we've all seen this global political scene.
Where can we really stand?
Because, like you said, this guy's pumping all this money.
It's not just into Jace's campaign, it's into a ton of them.
And he seems to have a direct line into not only this current administration, but the two names that I hear that the Republican Party should run.
I mean, Massey's the only guy for me right now, maybe Rand Paul again.
But, you know, what do you hear in the mainline stage?
Rubio and Vance.
No, thank you.
Thoughts?
Yeah, my thoughts are it's George Soros 2.0.
And, you know, really, it's about if you can control, you control the market, right?
Well, the product are the politicians that basically need a liquidity event in order to become the W-2 workers of the people that give them the money.
Now, Peel has hosted, as you accurately have said, he's fundraised for Yarborough.
I don't know.
Why is he so interested in backing a guy that lives almost two hours out of this district that's never held political office?
Why is that a smart play?
I don't know.
Maybe, maybe because a guy like me that you could get behindy figures wouldn't be interested in partnering with them.
And so you need to have somebody that doesn't have enough cash to be able to say, hey, you're a distressed corporation.
Let me give you some funds to help your campaign, possibly.
And now it's almost like a little bit of a buyout, a liquidity event.
And for those of you that know business well, you know, the strong pack is behind a lot of these candidates, in particular.
And the strong pack's number, I just want to speak with intelligence and facts, is FEC number C is in Charlie 0093-7094.
Go take a look at the Strong PAC.
The Strong PAC is now up to almost $1.5 million in contributions for this Yarborough campaign.
And they're buying ads on behalf of Mr. Yarborough from corps that are out of Dover, Delaware, the DC Beltline, and Ohio.
So I ask you, my friends, if this is about being a seventh-generation Texan and this is about Texas values, why is it that everything seems to be out of district for the candidates out of district?
His shell corpse or whatever these buying corps funded by the Strong PAC, which is layered, I would say, very, very well.
So you can't see the source of the money.
That's done very well.
And that's out of state.
So, what about this candidate and this campaign represents CD32, doesn't live here.
His money's not, doesn't appear to be here.
They won't disclose who it's coming from.
And then, when you look at another candidate that the strong PAC endorsed and is running up, Dela Cruz in the congressional, one of the congressional houses, he's an Air Force guy just like Yarlborough.
He gets the endorsements, the same types of endorsements, just like Yarlborough.
They drop around the same time that Yarlborough drops.
So, it's not a random one-off where you got good old-fashioned elbow grease and hustle on the streets.
What you really have is you have a machine which is able to mass produce, and it's a Costco effect.
And then you have other candidates like myself who are running in one race, focused with their own campaign money and grassroots funding, who are limited to fundraising $3,500 per person when these PACs can dump in an unlimited amount of money, and you have no idea who the source of these funds are coming from.
This is what's fundamentally wrong with America because this is an uneven playing field.
And this is why we have the problems we have, and this is why the American people feel like they're not getting any action because these PACs have hijacked our democracy, our republic, and the masters that these politicians serve are the people that are funding these campaigns.
And the American people are provided a political candidate wrapped in a fancy wrapper.
And this is just not specific in my campaign.
This is an issue across the board.
And this is why people are crying for term limits and why incumbents can't be beaten because the machine is very, very strong.
So, let's piggyback on that a little bit.
I've been a longtime advocate of getting money out of politics, not only on the electoral level, but on the lobbyist level as well.
You know, the idea that you can just go in there and put all this money towards lobbyists that then get to talk to these politicians and not only network their own interests, but that politician's interest outside of their political office, especially when they retire.
I mean, you see a revolving door of these firms and organizations and the politicians who work with them as it goes on.
You know, years ago, I had Roger Stone on, and I've been around Roger and talked to him.
And you confront him on that because he was a big part of putting money into lobbying.
He's like, money's speech.
I believe money is speech.
How do we get back to reality?
Because what lobbyists should be are the constituents that actually vote people in, the we the people, and not the corporations that can come in there and pump, like you said, all of that money.
I mean, would you agree with that statement?
And again, that's another problem outside of just the electoral issue of PACs.
Like you said, once you get in, that's the game they play.
They want to put you on a committee.
They want to sit you down with the lobbyists.
They want you interacting into what I think has become, you know, a techno-fascistic machine outside of the constitutional republic we live in.
Yeah, you know, we are led to believe that this country is supposed to be of the people, by the people, and for the people.
And it's we the people, but it's really more of a court case, I would say.
It's we the people versus those that are funding the lobbyists to override the will of the people and to have, as they say, Hollywood politics is Hollywood for ugly people.
That's a common vernacular that they joke about, and it's probably essentially true.
And so, what we really have is we have this electoral process, but we have a lot of thumbs on the scale.
And if we're going to really get down to business, we have to clean up elections on how they're funded.
Yes, I agree with Mr. Roger Stone on not everything, but on this issue in particular, money is what makes the world go round.
And this in particular, especially in DC.
So knowing that and knowing that we have this super PAC, a dark money structure that exists, I'm going to ask the question to every viewer out there.
How is it that we're just, as a base of people, how is it that we're not demanding that this is absolutely reformed?
How is it that candidates that go out and try to fund their campaigns and they can take a maximum contribution of 3,500 per individual, 7,000 per couple?
You know how many, you know, contributions you need to be able to get from that.
It's like a bunch of little minnows and then these whales just dump out a million or two or whatever they want, or the government itself has these different packs that can weigh into their elections and tip the scales.
And so, you know, it's really literally like a, I would say, a high school football team trying to compete against a professional NFL franchise.
That is the state of our electoral process in a lot of these larger races.
Minnesota's Electoral Challenge00:08:18
And until people understand that and they start looking at where the money is coming from, it's going to be the definition of insanity, which is you're doing the same thing over and over again and nothing's going to change.
You keep voting for these same people and you say, gosh, I had such high hopes for this person, but Washington changed them.
No, Washington didn't change them.
They made a deal in order to get to Washington and that's how they got to Washington.
And now they're a proxy vote for the people that got them into office.
And this is a systemic fundamental problem that we're having in our country right now.
And we need to unmask it.
We need to unveil it.
We need to have conversations about it.
Because if we don't, it's just going to be more of the same.
So you previously kind of mentioned Texas and this guy being an outsider from your district.
Now, to me, Texas is one of the big three states in the country, New York, Texas, California, both culturally and politically.
Certainly, Texas has major cities like Austin, San Antonio, Houston, of course, Dallas.
They all have their different flavors.
I haven't been to Texas in a while, but I lived there from 2008 to 2010.
And even then, you know, the immigration issue of sanctuary cities, you know, especially outside of Austin where I was, San Antonio, et cetera, were huge issues.
I'd say that battleground is even more fierce today.
Number one, what are your thoughts on that issue in particular?
And, you know, again, I think that it's been broken for, quite frankly, decades there in Texas in particular.
But outside of that, what do you think some of the major issues locally in your region of Texas are?
Well, it's immigration, but it's not limited to just people crossing the Texas border.
That's where people, when you think immigration, you just think about the Texas border being overrun.
And that's an aspect of it.
But we have people that have access to things called planes and they can fly here and people coming in through all different manners besides just crossing of the border.
In particular, what we're facing here in Dallas area is a tremendous amount of Islam.
And I have said repeatedly, Texas needs to be number one in football, not number one in moss.
Now, you may say, well, what's wrong with that?
They got a right to be here just like everybody else.
Well, not when there's a propaganda or a push to push what's called Sharia law.
And Sharia law is a separate type of law that would be in constitution.
And we cannot have any law of the land other than our constitution, Jason.
And so what we're having is we're having a cultural attack here.
And Texas is one of the hallmarks of conservatism in this country.
And for us to have the most amount of moss in Texas than any other state in the country, that speaks volume under as to the plan in order to dilute the culture and the conservative values and to turn this red state from red to purple to eventually blue.
This was done, I believe, in California right after the 1984 election when Ronald Reagan carried 49 out of 50 states.
The only state he didn't carry was Minnesota.
What happened in California?
Mass immigration and a mass delusion or dilution of culture and values, and it became completely a radically different state.
We saw what was done in California.
Well, now we're seeing that also in Minnesota.
Take a look at what's happening in Minnesota.
Minnesota is not the great white deer hunter, you know, going for white-tailed deer and drinking beer and ice fishing anymore.
Minnesota has radically changed because the people that make up the state of Minnesota are completely different types of people from different places.
And so now you look at Tim Waltz and the mess that he has up there.
Just take a look at some of the congressmen that are representing us from the great state of Minnesota, which really isn't that great anymore.
They're trying to do the same similar type of playbook, I would say, in Texas, knowing that if we lose Texas in this country, it's going to be a completely different country.
Texas makes up a tremendous amount of electoral votes.
If those electoral votes were to go to a blue candidate, I see it as a very difficult, very difficult thing for the Republicans to ever win a presidential election.
There's going to have to be a massive, massive identity shift, and we're going to be in a very bad spot.
So, yeah, we're under attack in a lot of different ways.
I believe our own tax dollars are actually being utilized to fund this.
NGOs act as vehicles to actually help fund our own demise.
And really, why?
Globalists, as you're very well aware, globalists have an agenda, and they frankly don't believe in borders because they don't believe in countries.
And any country without borders is not a country.
And so does that sound like what's going on in these states that I just mentioned?
They don't like people living well.
They don't believe that Americans should have a higher standard of living than folks in other countries.
Their world, their view of social justice, is everybody being pressed down to a level where they can control them.
And people are all of the lowest common denominator that's serving a feudal system.
This is the views of the Klaus Schwab and these different types of people that pontificate.
And I believe that's the playbook that we're seeing.
COVID was a good example of that, but we're also seeing us being attacked from a number of different angles.
And the sovereignty of our country and our statehood, it is on the line.
How can people support you?
And what would you like to leave the audience with?
Well, you can go to my website at www.bondar.com.
We take grassroots donations.
You can donate whatever you feel comfortable donating because financially it'd be great because I'm not taking PAC money or deep state dark money.
So continue to fund us so we can continue to keep hammering.
Our polls show us our poll results yesterday show that we're very strong.
We're appears that it's going to be a runoff and we're going to be in the runoff, right?
So we're in this thing and it's an existential threat.
You either have to get on the side of globalism or you have to fight against it.
So that would be one way also getting on my social media, commenting on my social media and using it as a platform to defend against the globalism and the corporate hostile takeover of our electoral process.
And I'd like for people to start having a meaningful dialogue and investigate on the root of all evil, which is not money.
Money is not the root of evil.
I don't believe that, but dark money is.
You know, I like dark chocolate, but I hate dark money because dark money is a vehicle used as anything worse than as much as we hate ballot drop boxes and how ridiculous blue cities are to have those.
If you can implicitly put in the candidates you want, it's more effective than being able to swing an election by five or 10 points with shady ballot drop boxes.
And so this is the ultimate threat to our sovereignty.
And we need people to champion around defending free, transparent elections.
I'm on the side of just, as Jerry Maguire said, show us the money.
Show us the money.
If you're proud of these funds and they're coming from good sources, they should be reported and they should be seen.
If you're not and you're not willing to allow for the American people to know where you're getting your money from, then you should be disqualified as a candidate, effectively, because you're not being honest with the people while you're running to represent them.
And that's a big problem that we have in our elections.
And until we get honest and transparent, it's going to be a kangaroo court banana republic.
