Aphasia.
Fluent aphasia.
He may also be suffering from another disease called anosognosia, in which you cannot realize nor accept the idea that you have an illness or injury.
All that plus the Supreme Court betraying America yet again, but inadvertently giving Joe Biden a kind of qualified, specific immunity in case he wants to try to overthrow an election.
Please join us after the State of the Union live on YouTube with our special Countdown State of the Union postgame show.
And also please join us on the Tuesday Countdown podcast, now live wherever you podcast.
I was reluctant to start with this video because I don't think, you know, what's his face?
What's his face?
Olbermann deserves any more oxygen than he naturally takes up from the world.
I'm just going to double check my audios as we're doing this.
I was reluctant to, but I have to because we need to see the sheer, psychotic, unhinged individual.
We went from a world of don't do your own research, trust the experts to do your own research, diagnose people without having the slightest clue as to what you're talking about.
He's diagnosing Donald Trump with aphasia.
It's almost literally the definition.
But by the way, the reason why I brought this up is because I'm going to highlight a few of his other tweets.
In which he refers to the justices of the Supreme Court as political whores, but after singling out three of the female justices, who I guess he thought were indebted to him for being liberal and betraying him, highlighted three of the female justices in particular before going on to refer to them as political whores.
But speaking of aphasia and clinical disorders, so you got the tweet with his diagnosis that he posted 11 hours ago.
Then you scroll down.
Hold on, we gotta go to Keith Olbermann's...
What's going on here?
Refresh.
He must have posted that tweet every hour on the hour for about...
There's one.
Bringing it down.
Oh, who's this?
What's this?
Al Franken.
Forget it.
We don't need to go into that moron.
But what I did want to highlight with Keith Olbermann, being a raging, raging psychopath, he put out a tweet yesterday.
I'll highlight both of the tweets because it's just talking about unhinged lunacy, not realizing you're crazy.
I recognize I have certain mental traits that some might be able to diagnose as any variety of OCD, GAD, ADHD, whatever.
I recognize it.
I recognize that whenever I make any accusation about anybody else.
But I think it was from Full Metal Jacket.
The dead and the dumb have one thing in common.
They don't know it.
As for the mentally unhinged like Keith Olbermann, this is a tweet that he put out yesterday as he was crying, but for some reason said it wasn't tears, it was urine on his face, and I have no idea what the hell he's talking about.
The Supreme Court has betrayed democracy, 9-0.
When they packed the court, people, they got to pack it now with more than nine.
Its members, including Ketanji Brown Jackson, Keegan.
Sotomayor, they are all three women, liberal justices on the court, have proved themselves inept at reading comprehension.
The white man is telling the women how they should be reading and what they should be thinking and how they should be ruling.
And collectively, the, quote, court has shown itself to be corrupt and illegitimate.
Ironically enough, if you call the government illegitimate, that's insurrectionist talk.
But when Olbermann, the unhinged lunatic, singles out three justices, By name.
That's okay.
And then, by the way, then he goes into...
Let's just get clear on the time here.
This is March 4th.
This is yesterday.
This one is 12 p.m.
That's right.
Okay, good.
Two hours later, Ketanji, Jackson, Brown, Kagan, I forget her first name, and Sotomayor have proved themselves inept at reading comprehension.
And then as I thought about it a little bit more, psychopath Keith Olbermann, if the political whores on the court are overruling quite explicit language in the Constitution to benefit one politician, your separations of power died long ago.
Keith Olbermann is mentally unwell.
I'm not going to diagnose him with anything in particular.
I know what I'm thinking.
That man, not only would I not let that man babysit my kids, walk my dogs, I wouldn't let him feed my fish.
I wouldn't let him clean up after my dog.
He's a psychopath.
Okay, we got a good one today, people.
So some of you may have seen a tweet thread that went viral, as they say, the kids these days.
And it was investigative journalist work from an independent journalist who I've never heard of, but I saw the tweet thread like everyone else and read it with great interest and reached out.
And she said, yes, we'll come on and we'll talk about it.
And we're going to go through all of it.
And we're going to break down and potentially not expose, because I can no longer expose it, because it has been exposed seemingly by Mel, although I don't know what her full name is.
We're going to put it on the blast of all blasts because there is nothing more fitting than a corrupt Attorney General, she's the Attorney General, correct?
Yeah, the AG of New York Attorney General, Leticia James, persecuting Trump, and you know, a $500 million fine, make it a billion, make it $10 trillion, for allegedly...
Overvaluing his assets and a bank giving him preferential loan rates, allegedly based on that overvaluation.
All of it's bullcrap.
But for someone who's going to meticulously comb through financial statements, bank loan agreements, contracts between corporation and banks, all of whom are, you know, fully vaccinated adults, as we say in French.
It's maybe time to shine that spotlight very much on Leticia James.
So without further to do.
Adieu.
Adieu.
Oh, sorry.
For those who don't know how the channel works, we're going to start on YouTube, Rumble, and vivabarneslaw.locals.com.
We're going to wind up or end...
We're going to wind off, move out of Commitube, go over to Free Speech Rumble platform.
The link to Rumble is up in the pinned comment if I've done it properly today, which I have.
Then, when the stream is over entirely, we're going to go over to Locals, where we have another Locals chat today with a supporting member, and it's going to be fantastic.
So, that is it.
Who likes Keith is a darn good question.
Rockstar Marie.
I mean, it's not the first time he's had a psychopathic, unhinged rant of a tirade.
And yeah, he's gotten enough.
Who's Viva Frye at the dentist?
I don't know what that means, Pete.
Okay, life lockdown.
Okay, so let's do it.
Mel, you ready?
Three, two, one.
How goes the battle?
Good so far today.
Like I said, I'm babysitting a little puppy.
This is Ellie.
That is guaranteed a labradoodle.
Yeah.
Well, she's a miniature golden doodle.
She's really tiny.
She's about nine weeks.
She's only four pounds.
That's very cute.
Look how she's looking at you.
I know.
She's a doll, baby.
She's very timid, and I have a mean cat that just, you know, just came up and just swatted her because she can.
So you're not a dog lady, but you're a cat lady.
No, I'm a dog person, but I'm not a cat.
I'm not a cat, you know, that's on an individual basis.
I would never describe myself as a cat person.
But I like my cat when she's not being awful.
Well, that's my problem with cats is they are seemingly always awful.
There's one cat down my street, which is a beautiful cat and comes up.
And the only thing, the only reason why he's a beautiful cat is because he acts like a dog.
Yeah.
It's funny.
My cat, she loves all people, but she hates all other animals on this earth.
She tolerates my dog, but if it were up to her, she would just banish them all and never have to see another animal the rest of her life.
And so, you know, but she loves people and she's super friendly.
Fantastic.
Well, Mel, without, I mean, I haven't even given you the 30,000 foot overview because I haven't even had enough time to delve into who you are.
If there's been other podcasts where you've explained your situation, who you are, but...
30,000 foot overview.
What do you tell the public by way of elevator pitch?
So I have a political science degree.
My background, I worked for a criminal defense attorney for a few years, so I did paralegal work.
That kind of prepped me doing, you know, discovery reviews and stuff like that to really dive deep and look for things that the government doesn't tell you up front.
And also to really never trust the official report from the government, because if you've ever dealt with criminal defense, I'm sure you've seen it, you know, very often what the story they tell you is not the story that happened in the crime or, you know, for your defense.
So that kind of, I think, gave me, that experience gave me skepticism, healthy skepticism of the government and official narratives in general.
And so...
Like I said, I'm really into politics.
Last year, I started looking into Tim Scott when he announced for his presidency.
And because I knew what it was, I knew he was just going to launder the money that he had just raised, all the money that he just raised from his Senate race, what was left over.
There was like 15, 16 million dollars left over.
And what I came across was that I knew kind of what was going on, but I was really shocked when I found out Tim Scott raised $52 million for his re-election in 2022.
His Democrat opponent raised $200,000.
Tim Scott spent $38 million.
On re-election.
Are you aware of any caps on the amount that they can raise total?
Because I ran for the People's Party of Canada.
If I'm not mistaken, I could only raise 20-some-odd thousand.
There was a cap that you could raise.
Right.
And I always say, you know, that is the solution.
We have to put caps on it.
No.
In America, there is no cap on how much you can raise.
We have candidates running for state houses.
You know, there was a kind of famous case in 2021.
New Jersey state's legislature, he raised $18 million for a state house seat.
You know, it's crazy, right?
It's wild.
Tim Scott, this was for his senatorial race in...
In South Carolina.
Yeah, totally safe state.
He was always going to win.
It was never even a competition.
And like I said, you know...
$50 million.
He raised $52 million.
He spent $38.
Yeah.
Okay, so the rules are...
I mean, what...
Can be done with the excess or what cannot be done with the excess of what's left over?
But then more importantly, how do you spend $38 million without it being a slush fund for contractors, advertisers, and everyone coming to get a contract?
And we'll divvy out this money.
Right.
Well, it actually just turns into a slush fund for consultants.
Millions and millions and millions of dollars into these consultancy fees.
But then it gets turned into a, you know, a personal slush fund, you know, flying around.
I have it on, if you search my Twitter feed, you'll find it.
You search Tim Scott.
I went through the expenditures one that I won, and I broke it down into a, just a really easy to digest.
But, you know, he had like $200,000 in airfare, another $200,000 in hotels and in meals and, you know, there's black car rentals.
There's just everything you can think of, you know, to live a really, really good lifestyle.
There's certain things that I'm going to be more, that I always tend to be forgiving about.
Like when, not Alex Jones, James O 'Keefe was getting in trouble with the accusations that he was using Project Veritas as a slush fund.
He was taking black cards.
I'm like, I don't expect politicians, especially detested politicians, to be hailing down cabs on the street.
So some things, I'll give them a pass for it because I would give the same benefit of the doubt to someone who I liked versus someone who I hated.
But at what point does it cease being campaign issues anymore, especially after you comfortably win?
And then what happens to it after the campaign is over?
Or what is supposed to happen to it after the campaign is over?
Right.
I'm not an unreasonable person.
I don't expect these people to live on bread and water.
I'm very reasonable.
I'm okay.
Five, six, seven million dollars on a re-election, you know, you can still live a pretty decent life.
You can still eat at very nice restaurants.
And that's for Senate, obviously, because it's every six years.
But yeah, I mean, it clearly crosses the line.
You're taking money.
Also, and the other thing is, you know, we have lick masters out in Arizona who struggled mightily to get any money.
And that was, you know, a potentially competitive race.
You know, he raised $10 million and he was fighting a $150 million war chest of Mark Kelly.
And here we've got Tim Scott blowing $38 million, raising $52 million, blowing $38 million on a seat that was 100% guaranteed was never going to flip.
You know, that was the thing that first really kind of ticked me off because I always liked Blickmasters.
But so that was...
The first time I really realized that, okay, these people can use this money in ways that I had no idea.
I didn't realize that they could.
I knew that, you know, campaign events, catering events and stuff like that.
But when you really get in there and you start digging and scratching at this stuff, you realize that this is not, you know, when you're running up $5,000 bills at the Capitol Hill Club, you are not, that's not a campaign expense.
For those who don't know, like myself, what's the Capitol Hill Club?
It's a really fancy members-only club in D.C. that they all, Republicans, love.
I think it's some kind of fine dining steakhouse.
They've got the $10,000 bottles of wine and stuff like that.
It's a members-only club.
Apparently, I just found out yesterday looking through...
It's a $50,000 membership fee to even belong to this club.
It's not like the old joke, I'd never want to become a member of a club that would have me as a member.
Everything about that sounds uncomfortable.
Nothing about it is alluring, but this is where the disgusting backdoor deals of politics occur in an exclusive.
Easy to dispose of the money when stuff is overpriced or exceedingly high priced.
Right.
Yeah.
It's always funny because, you know, they'll be spending, you know, five, six, seven thousand dollars at Mastiano's in D.C. And then you'll look and you'll see their expenditures back in their own districts or their own states.
And, you know, they're buying Chick-fil-A for their supporters, which just kind of cracks me up, you know.
Somebody down in Texas, I looked at one time, you know, he had spent $7,000 at Mastiano's, which is some fancy restaurant in D.C., and then the very next day spent $300 at Bucky's for a campaign event, you know, just so typical.
But so that was the first time I really realized that, OK, these people are really living a lifestyle.
And they're using these campaign funds to supplement their lifestyles, which actually makes a lot more sense why they want to keep these jobs so bad, because they get to live like kings, right?
And so I've done a bunch of threads.
I did one on Dan Crenshaw.
I did one on Steve Scalise.
I usually focus on Republicans because I'm a Republican, and, you know, I'm a firm believer in you have to fix your own house first.
But I was doing a podcast with a guy named James Clary out of Southeast Missouri, and he asked me, he said, hey, you know, can you look into Letitia James, see if she's got anything?
And I really wasn't expecting anything, honestly.
I'd never really looked into a state rep before.
I mean, I'd casually kind of looked into it, but I'd never really downloaded their stuff and really combed through the expenditures.
And I was shocked when I found, you know, hers.
Because, again, she's a...
Democrat Attorney General in a really safe state, New York.
The only real race that she had was her 2018 primary, which she pretty much easily won.
And ever since then, as long as she's running, she's going to be fine.
She's just going to glide through.
She doesn't need all of this money.
And yet, what we find is that she's raising...
For her second campaign, something like eight or nine million dollars.
Before we even get there, actually, you said you were working as a paralegal.
Are you doing this independently as a living?
No.
So I own a small business, but then I just kind of...
I've become obsessed with things.
You know, I think everybody knows our country, and I know you live in Canada, and it's the same up there, that you know something's wrong.
We all know something's wrong.
These people aren't responsive to us.
They don't represent us anymore.
They are...
Who knows who they represent?
But we know it's not us, right?
So I kind of just started writing these threads on Twitter and posting them, and some of them...
Would gain traction.
My one on Tim Scott, I think it got like 800,000 views.
I wrote one on Ghost Owners a couple weeks ago.
That got almost a million, but nothing quite like the Letitia James thing.
Well, it's very, very timely.
By the way, I should say, Canada is so broken, I actually had to flee at least temporarily to the free state of Florida.
That's where I reside now.
But, okay, so if I may ask, what's the small business?
I own a screen printing business, so I sell stuff online.
Before COVID, it was really, really good, and it's still good.
It's kind of one of those things, like, I design shirts, I sell them.
I sell them for moms going to Disney, but they're not trademarked or anything.
They're just Disney-themed.
It's kind of hard to explain.
I never really mixed it, because obviously my politics, you know.
You haven't gotten any of the AOC contracts or the Leticia James contracts for shirts for our campaign.
A million shirts at 15 bucks a shirt.
Right.
No, no, no, no.
I mean, you know, it does good for me and it's something fun and it allows me to work from home, which is really good.
And this was never the objective, but what's the name of it and what's the website while we're on the subject?
I actually, I don't want to share, like...
Ah, okay.
All right.
Sorry.
Never mind.
I've done it.
I've put my foot in my mouth.
I'm sorry.
No, it's okay.
It's just like, it's like Disney themed, you know, like when I say Disney themed, but...
It's good.
Some people don't want to mix politics whatsoever or what they do as a pastime.
Yeah, and it's very, it's so apolitical, you know?
Well, I'll just plug mine then.
Go to vivafry.com for some shirts.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
All right.
Now...
I want to talk...
We're going to get into all of this, but we're going to leave YouTube in about five minutes.
The question...
And everybody on YouTube, get your butts on over to Rumble, because we're 4,500 on YouTube.
What are we on Rumble?
4,700.
So make the migration, because we are doing it.
But the question is this.
Methodology...
No, sorry.
Ghost donors, because we're going to get into it with Leticia James, but break down that thread or explain to us, because it's a foreign concept to me that...
Out-of-state individuals could even donate to a local attorney general race.
Explain what the ghost donors is while I plug the links to the other places where we're going to go.
And then we're going to go over and talk Tish James.
Okay.
So it's like, where do you start, right?
I know why people don't write about this because it is kind of, where do you even start?
So in 2023, James O 'Keefe, most people know him from Project Veritas.
He kind of exposed a scam on ActBlue, which basically what he noticed, and I noticed this before too, but O 'Keefe, of course, took it to the next level, which is what you really have to do.
He noticed that there were people, older people especially, listed on ActBlue as having given tens of thousands of donations.
You know, sometimes totaling...
$100,000.
But they're always small dollar donations.
So we're talking about like, you know, some old grandma in Topeka making 10,000 donations, but they're like a dollar each, right?
Which is still a lot of money.
And it was just really odd.
So what O 'Keefe did was he actually printed out the names of these people and he went around and started asking people, did you donate to, you know, Act Blue?
1,500 times.
Did you donate, you know, 3,500 times?
And without fail, every person he went to was like, no, these donations were not mine.
I didn't make these, you know.
You know, they had all maybe given a handful of times, but none of them even had the money to be able to do something like this.
Is the donation coming via a name or a name and address or a name and address and a credit card?
Like, at some point, it has to be traceable.
So it comes through the conduit, which is Act Blue.
And it's using a name and an address.
Yes.
And so these people who, were they in fact making the donations or were the donations being made and just using their names and addresses?
So the donations were being made in their names, which is illegal.
And no, they were not making them.
They had no idea that any of this was happening.
These people are real, though.
They do exist.
They're not dead or anything like that.
They always exist and they're always alive.
That is one thing.
And I have looked at thousands of their names.
I've looked them up, looked up, you know, how much their homes are valued at.
You know, when I see somebody that's given, you know, $139,000 and then I see that, you know, this is a woman that's living in what is probably a rent controlled older.
Older apartment for someone, you know, or, you know, she's a retired teacher, 76 years old, and I'm supposed to believe that she's been giving 15 donations every single day for the last three years to different candidates, you know, totaling $79,000.
So that O 'Keefe exposed that in early spring of 2023, and it kind of just landed with a thud.
Nobody talked about it.
You know, that's something that you would think Republicans.
Would have jumped all over.
It's something that I think I would have jumped all over.
It's like some of the things don't even cross the radar, but I'll actually have to text James and see if he's going to come on and talk about it because, yeah, this is how you launder money.
I mean, I don't know if you call it dark money, but this is how you launder money into campaigns.
Okay, but I'll have more questions on the traceability.
So the monies are...
In fact, coming from them or not necessarily coming from them?
No, it's never coming from them.
Definitely not.
Okay.
And so somebody's making the donation in their name, using their address, their name, unbeknownst to the person.
And it's an amazing thing.
You talk about like, oh, you can go easily find out based on someone's address.
Do they own?
Do they rent?
How much is it worth?
And does it correlate with the amount of a donation?
Like all of this is for paralegal.
You know how to do this.
It's all at the fingertips on the internet.
Yep.
Okay, interesting.
So the At Blue piece comes out, and this piques your interest.
Right.
And so I'm very interested in this, you know, but it kind of lands with the thud, right?
Like, it's Marco Rubio sent a letter to the FEC, but that's it.
Like, nobody, you know, again, this should have been the biggest scandal ever, right?
And Republicans are just silent on it.
And so I got put in Twitter jail last year, last July.
And that was when I first did, you know, my deep dive on Tim Scott.
And what I realized when I downloaded all of his expenditures was, you know, Tim Scott had like 15,000 refunds.
And he was refunding donations that were like 30 cents, 15 cents, a dollar.
You know, at that point, I didn't even know you could get your political donation back.
But you can.
You have to ask for it.
But then I was like, who asks for 30 cents back?
This is not right.
Something is not right here.
And so I start digging and, you know, lo and behold, Winred is doing the exact same thing.
Exact same thing.
And then it all made sense why nobody has actually jumped all over this because, of course, they're not.
They're doing the same exact thing.
This is a mutually assured destruction.
So that's why nobody wants to bring it up.
You know, that thread that I wrote has got almost 4 million views.
Elon Musk commented on it.
I know they've all seen it.
And not a single candidate, not a single politician has said one single word on it.
None of them.
That's wild, actually.
You know, you say the reference mutually assured destruction.
In this case, it's mutually assured profitability or mutually assured benefits is that both parties get to do it.
And so why would anyone want to call it out?
And so what was the outcome of James O 'Keefe's expose that these these monies are being put?
Through by other people in the names of people and no traceability as to who the actual donors are and no follow-up and no further discovery.
So there's another gentleman named Peter Bernegger.
And if you guys are interested, you can go to his website.
These people are tremendous.
I mean, they're just incredible what they've done.
Mr. Bernegger, and then he has a whole team of people.
They have created a website called electionwatch.info.
If you go there, there's an interactive map that they have documented tediously every ghost donor in every state.
You can scroll over and they've got them listed how many donations these people have supposedly made, what's the total of them.
And yeah, they did that by tapping an API into the FEC website.
I mean, it's really incredible.
They have documented it perfectly.
Mr. Bernager said that he had filed over 40 complaints with the FEC and has barely gotten anywhere with it.
They just, they're totally uninterested.
His name, I put his Twitter handle in there.
It's Peter Bernegger, B-E-R-N-E-G-G-E-R.
Mm-hmm.
Okay, that's, that's, okay, I'm sorry, and I cut you off there, but, and so what was the ultimate, no, no, no, there's no final answer as to where this money is coming from.
Nope, no, it would have to be audited from, you know, it would have, somebody has to audit the conduit, so act blue and win red.
To trace it, where it's coming from.
You know, my guess is it's probably a lot of different sources.
I've tracked all of the fundraising of the House Republicans from 2022.
Not all of them are doing it.
Not all of them received this.
I know exactly which ones are, which ones aren't.
You know, it's interesting to see who does and who doesn't do it.
But none of them talk about it.
So these are what we call PACs, political action committees.
ActBlue is a political action committee for Dems.
And WeWin is the one for...
WinRed.
WinRed.
I'm sorry.
That would explain why I was coming in.
They're also credit card processing conduits.
So it's who, whenever you go to anybody's...
There are a couple others that they might use.
I think Republicans use Anodot.
And then Democrats, they have an alternate too.
But for the most part, almost all political donations get ran through, act blue, and win red.
But because they are also PACs, what happens is they have to report every single Penny that they receive every time someone donates.
So they, when you go to look through their stuff, they'll have hundreds of millions of receipts, right?
Sometimes billions.
When that money is then transferred into a candidate's committee, the candidate, when they go to report their...
Contributions, they only have to report when somebody gives over $200.
So if you had, you know, a little grandma contributing 199 times at $1 each, none of her contributions would even show up in a candidate's report.
So it's very easy to hide.
But once they hit over that $200 mark, then boom, all of those.
200 total.
Right.
Yeah.
This is fascinating.
I mean, this is not something I even, I didn't even know to not know about it.
It's wild.
Hold on.
I had another question.
Someone had just asked in the chat, and it's a good question.
Can anyone find out if they have been used as a conduit by searching their name?
Yeah.
So first thing to know is if you're super active on social media, if you're young, you probably haven't been, probably.
But you go to fec.gov, put in your name.
At the top or whoever's name you want to use.
And a little thing will come up and it'll say, search for individual contributions.
Click on that.
And then be sure to put in your zip code.
And because, you know, if you have a common name or whatnot, it'll be, you know, so I had somebody like freaking out saying that, you know, somebody used their grandma's and then turned out that it wasn't their grandma, it was somebody else.
You know, they didn't realize that they could filter like that.
But yeah, just put in your zip code.
Or, you know, something that I did that I found was I went to WinRed, and like I said, because every single receipt with WinRed is recorded, you can search the receipts by your zip code.
So you can put in your zip code, and this is ActBlue2, either one, doesn't matter.
Pull up the year, put in your zip code, and then filter.
And what I like to do is I put a second filter on there for $0 to $5.
Because that's really the kind of where you'll see, like, you know, zip code, that, and then you'll be able to see really quickly the people who are probably being used around you.
You don't have to put that filter on, the second filter.
But yeah, you know, so what I found the first time I was really looking is my neighbor right at the street, 96 years old.
This is so amazing that people don't understand at the tip of their fingers all of this information is available.
Yep.
It's just, the thing is, is that it is complicated and it's confusing.
And it's not that, I shouldn't say, it's not confusing.
It's just complex.
It takes a long time to kind of break this down.
I know why people don't write about this very often, because it's hard to figure out how to relay this so that people can digest it.
And so what I found...
Is that people really like to hear about how the money is being spent, you know, because it's so outlandish.
It's so wild.
I'm going to give everybody the link to winred.com where you can go check it out for yourselves.
No, no, no.
FEC.gov.
Winred.
Winred, you cannot put your postal code in or name to see it.
No, no, no.
Sorry, my bad.
Yep, it's through FEC.gov.
FEC.gov.
And then type in Winred.
At the little search thing, it'll come up and...
I see.
Okay, so hold on.
So you go to fec.gov and then you go into the search bar and put in WinRed?
Uh-huh.
Okay.
And now you can...
Okay, so here, I'll give everybody this link.
And by the way, we're going over to Rumble, but the number keeps going up on YouTube.
So get off of YouTube, come over to Rumble, because we're going to get into the Latiza James there.
This is the link.
We're at 5,136 on YouTube.
That number should be at zero in 30 seconds.
And if you're stubborn and you're not coming for whatever the reason, shame on you.
I'm joking.
That's a joke.
Come on over to Locals if you want.
Or wait until we post the entire interview.
It won't be live and you won't be able to interact.
So come on over to Rumble.
That's the link.
Okay.
Amazing.
Alrighty.
That's a segue.
We're going to end on YouTube.
This changes nothing on our end.
Mel?
And is it Mel for Melissa?
Melissa.
Okay.
So what we're going to do now is we're going to end on YouTube.
I'm going to see the number go down one more time.
5172.
Come to Viva Fry on Rumble or vivabarneslaw.locals.com and we're getting into the tish.
We're going from the fanny and we're going back to the fanny tomorrow.
Now tomorrow is going to be one hell of a day.
From fanny to tish and the woman who's persecuting Trump.
Okay, we're ending on YouTube.
Viva Fry on Rumble and you get the reruns later, peeps.
Boom.
Okay, good.
It actually has dropped 600 in one second.
All right, Mel.
So now this is why people can go do their own research.
And that's not a bad thing to do, people.
Do your own digging.
So you set your sights on Leticia James to say, like, okay, I just want to go pull up how much she raised, what she filed, because a lot of this is public.
Tell everybody what your MO is if you don't mind disclosing your MO.
Where do you start if you say Leticia James is my investigative interest now?
We're going to go to find out, campaign find it.
When James asked me, you know, again, because like I said, I usually just focus on Republicans.
And so I was like, okay, I'll do that.
You know, honestly, I really wasn't expecting anything.
So I go to New York State.
First thing I did was I wanted to see what contribution limits were.
They're kind of crazy in New York State.
I won't even go and bore you with that.
But New York State actually has a really, really user-friendly campaign finance website.
Some states are awful.
My state of North Carolina is awful.
What is the maximum contribution, single contribution, for an individual in New York State?
So, for a primary, it's funny because primary goes by registered from the party.
So, if you are an individual in New York State and you're giving to a Democrat, you can give $22,000.
But if you're giving to a Republican, you can only give $15,000.
Because there are significantly fewer Republicans than Democrats.
And if you, which is still a lot of money, but then that's for individual, but then there's also a family donation, which is like $47,000.
We're talking big numbers.
It's not like $800.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
It's way higher than the, you know, the federal limit right now is $3,300 for a primary, $3,300 for a general.
And I was even looking in Georgia, as best I could tell.
I mean, it was something like 1,800 to...
It was like 3,000 to 5,000, depending on what the race was, but not astronomical figures.
These are not astronomical, but they're massive.
Oh, yeah.
It's a lot of money.
Yeah, definitely.
I was definitely shocked to see.
So, again, I wasn't...
You know, when you can get that much money, I mean, who...
Again, and because...
She didn't have a primary in 2022.
It was smooth sailing, easy sailing.
So I go to the New York State Campaign Finance website.
You can search by candidate for expenditures or contributions, which makes it really easy.
And what I always do is I usually download the whole file, whatever they have.
I'm on a Mac, so I use numbers.
And then I sort by, once I open up numbers, I add a category for disbursement reason, right?
So that breaks everything down, you know, lodging, airfare, everything like that.
And that'll give you a really clear view of what, you know, what they're spending it on.
The software itself or the spreadsheet itself has it labeled by predetermined labels, right?
There's no confusing ways of labeling it.
It has to be restaurants, food, travel, that type of category?
Yeah.
So you have to give the name of the recipient, right?
But then they get to choose what they expense it under.
And with her, what I know, I mean, hers is just atrocious.
You know, she's got thousands.
It just says other needs explanation, you know.
But have these statements been, these statements have to be audited, right?
They are audited by the time you have access to them?
I mean, they're official, reported, you know, I don't know if there's an independent auditor in the state of New York.
I don't think there is one with the FEC, definitely, because I cannot imagine that.
I mean, the things I've seen get expensed are just...
Some of the craziest things you've ever seen.
It's wild.
I mean, I can only compare it to my very, very limited, small time running for office in Canada, but they make you have an account and review it, approve it, and then they look it over.
If there's anything that they think is a little fishy, they get back to you and ask you to review it.
Okay, so you go and you download all this.
I'm sorry I cut you off.
No, no, no.
So I download it.
I go through it.
First thing I notice is Puerto Rico, right?
So I'm like, you know, what in the world?
So then what I do is I chunk it up into years, right?
Because that'll give you a better idea of how the money is being spent year by year.
And in 2023, so remember, so she got elected in 2018 for the first time.
She won re-election in 2022.
So 2023, we're a year out, you know, no upcoming election, no nothing like that.
And the expenses were like $1.1 million total for the year, which is, again, you're not running for anything.
Well, it's explicable, but it's inexplicable.
It's a four-year term, 2018.
2022.
And for what it's worth, everybody knows this watching the channel, but when she ran in 2018, it was campaigning off prosecuting, persecuting Trump.
That was part of the campaign.
And then I guess the same in 2022.
I'll Google it while you're talking just to see what her margin of victory was.
So they have this money left over, and then they're spending millions of dollars, or at least over a million dollars, the year after she's been re-elected while they still have this slush fund at their disposal.
So, yeah, the first thing that catches my eye is a hotel in Puerto Rico.
It was Hotel Caribe in San Juan, and the bill is $9,000.
And I'm like, what in the world?
So, you know, now I'm just like, okay, I do away with everything else, and I'm just looking at 2023.
What was the name of the hotel?
Hotel Caribe, C-A-R-I-B-E.
I'm going to just look this up while we're talking.
What it costs a night.
$9,000.
Now, Puerto Rico, it's not a state, but it's part of the unincorporated Commonwealth of the United States.
Was she there campaigning, Mel?
Somebody said that they have a conference down there each year.
There were three separate trips to Puerto Rico.
So I don't know how many conferences you could possibly have, you know, when you're the state attorney general going to Puerto Rico.
But, you know, there's potentially one legitimate charge on there.
I don't know if it's $9,000 legitimate.
But, you know, someone did say that there was a conference down there.
It's for New York State Assembly members.
Um, to reach out to the Latinx community.
Half of these conferences are, are, are, are pretextual in any event, just for a vacation away from your family while people do God knows what with each other there.
So look, hey, they got a nice, beautiful room from 4,000 bucks to Kings to, this looks like the hotel.
Hilton for the state.
Yeah.
Okay.
Uh, 9,000 bucks.
She's down there for a conference and, uh, she probably got repaid by cash for.
For whoever her roommate was.
Bada bing, bada boom.
Okay, so that's the first one you see.
And you're looking into also, like, in greater detail, getting feedback from people who read your tweets.
You know, there was a conference there, so that might explain this type of thing.
Right, so that's, you know, that's definitely, you know, one expenditure.
But again, we've got another charge to the Conado Palm Inn, and this is also in San Juan, and that was for $3,400.
And then another charge for to the Royal Sinesta.
And these are all different dates.
And that was for 1150.
Within what time frame is this?
This is one year, 2023.
It's wild.
Okay.
Interesting.
And then we've, you know, so then I'm like, okay, so, but that's not all.
Then we've got...
If I may ask that, does the bank account have a name?
Does the entity in which this money is being kept, is it campaign for the re-election of Leticia James?
James for New York is the name of the committee.
So James for New York, when you're left over with money after the purpose of the campaign has been achieved, and then you use it for what they might be, deductible expenses, but maybe the state would have to approve them, and maybe the state wouldn't approve them if they're not legit.
And so you just...
Dabble into your leftover campaign funds and expense them out until you have zero.
Oh, yeah.
I'm digging on someone right now that your head's going to explode when you see what I found.
Because yesterday, I spent the day on the phone with my sister just screaming about this.
I just cannot believe that no one has...
How do they get away with this crap?
By the way, Mel, I should say, if you want me to bring up a screen, I have your Twitter thread, but if you want to share anything...
Give it to me in the private chat or put it up on share screen.
Okay.
So here.
Well, I can give you this.
Sorry.
Give me just two seconds.
If there's specific docs.
But this is in one year.
She spent over a million dollars from her Leticia for whatever campaign funds the year after she's been elected.
How much was left over in that account after her re-election?
It's kind of hard because you can only see how much they spend per year.
In 2022, it's not much.
I think she spent on that cycle 6 million.
In 2023, she spent a million, but she also raised a million.
They're kind of spending it as they go.
Sorry, give me just one.
Yeah, Dormit, while you do that, apparently I've got a lot of spammers in the Rumble chat here.
What is it?
It's an account that creates the same message over and over again.
Everybody asking if I have mods?
I have no, I have one mod.
I don't, I believe in as much free speech as humanly possible in the chat and if you have people start banning because they don't like stuff, but spamming is the only bannable offense.
So I got rid of three of them.
Crazy people.
Spam and links and whatnot.
Okay.
Yeah, I know.
It's so annoying.
Would pulling up your tweet thread help?
Yeah, I can.
Here, I'm going to send it to you.
Okay.
Let's see.
Well.
Actually, I'm not going to send that to you because that is not showing.
Yeah, just pull up the thread.
Don't send me anything that's going to get me raided by the FBI.
There is nothing that I posted not everybody in America couldn't download.
It's just the only reason they don't is because it does take a long time.
You know, like with hers, I had to comb through that.
Thousands of lines of expenditures.
Yeah, and as much as I know how to do things, downloading and filtering through, I don't even know what sought.
You said you used numbers.
I can barely use Excel spreadsheets, and it's a problem.
It'd be much more effective if I could, but that's why I rely on other people, and then we just break it down, and you simplified for the dummy.
So yeah, tell me where to stop, and we're going to go through this.
Okay, yeah.
So if you go down, boom, right there.
This is in one year.
One year.
28,000 on hotel expenses.
Yep.
28,000 on hotels.
I actually clipped it off of there at the end.
But she had 3,900 in airfare.
She had, which actually was kind of low considering total airfare for five years was 84,000.
She had car rentals.
Again, but this was actually almost all Uber and Lyft.
Which, you know, again, is like, I guess she lives in New York, you could say.
But when I think of campaign, I think, okay, well, what were you doing?
You know, how is this related to your campaign?
And what you see is that it's probably not.
It's just using it because they can, you know?
So this is over a five-year period.
Well, I mean, flip side is car rentals are the only ones where I like if you don't spend the 15,000 on Lyft and Uber and whatever, you'll have to have a car that you get to expense a certain portion of and gas and whatever.
But either way, 100,000 of meals and catering.
Again, I mean, there you can easily imagine they're going to have their campaign dinners or they're going to have whatever, invite a bunch of people so that you can easily understand that.
The meals and catering, those actually don't include the big caterings.
Those are little tickets.
There was actually more for catering, but I excluded that because I just kind of thought that the meals were so egregious.
20,000 bucks a year for meals.
These aren't large catering events.
There are receipts for everything, 18 bucks.
Well, she's lunch at the office.
I don't know what the accounting rules are, but I'm sure that someone can find out that she might have enriched herself a little bit too much with stuff that she should have been paying for on her own.
Well, you'd actually be shocked to find...
I'm sure that the New York State rules are probably very similar to the federal rules in that it's not just campaigning that they're allowed to use this money on.
It's anything politically connected, which, again, if you're a politician, is everything in your life, you know.
And that's really how they get around it.
I mean, we've got Raphael Warnock.
He uses his campaign funds for his kids' private schools.
Yeah, so these campaign funds have, number one, they've just gotten out of control.
They are millions and millions and millions of dollars.
Even for somebody like the state attorney general, I was looking up other attorney generals to see, you know, kind of comparable.
And yeah, it's, you know, in Florida, Ashley Moody, she spent $2,100,000.
And in California, Rob Bonta spent $7.1 million.
Now, granted, in Bonta's defense, he did have to run a primary, so that was a real election for him.
I mean, I know Ashley Moody is our state AG.
What was her election like?
Was it competitive?
I don't think so.
When I first saw Letitia James' numbers, I was like, what?
Flabbergasted.
You know, yeah.
And so I just went, you know, just to see, like, is this even normal?
But, you know, in her defense, it kind of is this kind of this big, big money.
But it's normal, but it's not.
Because, again, in 2022, she's running against a Republican who only had $900,000, was never going to win.
She won by 10 points.
It, you know, it was a cakewalk.
It was not even competitive.
So.
I'm looking at what this place, City Knights Hospitality.
Let me bring that back up.
Is that the name of a club?
It is.
Yeah.
So she's got, yeah, she expensed it under office.
So that's what I'm saying.
When you download these, you'll see that, you know, okay, office, like Cloudflare, that's clearly a, you know, an office expense, you know, but then you go down to Crowne Plaza Desmond, you know, obviously the Crowne Plaza is probably not an office expense.
But, yeah, you have to go line by line in all of these things to figure out what they are.
Yeah, so if you just sort by disbursements, that's not going to give you a super accurate...
The Crown Nights, I'm looking it up.
It was called the City...
What was it called?
City Nights or Crown Nights?
City Nights.
City Nights.
That's $7,000 spent at one location.
Right.
Yeah.
Now, if you look up, there's the 48 Lounge in New York.
She also expensed, yeah, so that one was 2022.
In 2023, she spent $5,000 at the 48 Lounge, which I believe is actually the same address as that City Lights, City Nights Hospitality.
Again, she expensed that under office as well.
And it's a nightclub, you know.
City Nights Hospitality.
Let's see here.
Where luxury meets comfort, product meets quality, and service meets kindness.
Every City Nights Hospitality location is designed to be a dining, nightlife, and event venue that provides a uniquely transitional entertaining atmosphere set to impress the most refined professionals as well as the most sophisticated late-night and weekend social celebrators.
What?
In the hell.
I don't want to leave.
Okay, so there it is, the 48 Lounge.
So that's one of the, I guess, like the levels, you know.
So yeah, so in 2023, after the election, she drops another $5,100 at 48 Lounge.
Yeah.
She's drinking Grey Goose.
This has to be beyond Grey Goose.
I'm trying to think of a...
This is C-Rock level.
I don't even know if that's more expensive.
Right, yeah.
You know, probably bottle service, whatnot.
Holy crab apples.
Okay.
So then going even further into the expenses...
Tell me where to stop.
You can stop right there.
She spends...
In 2023, again, this is after the election, she spends $311,000 on campaign consultants.
And I've looked at this stuff enough to know that...
That campaign consultancy stuff is the biggest scam that there is.
Do they identify who the consultants are so that you can...
Oh, well, I'm sorry.
Obviously you do because you get them in the next two-bedroom apartment one.
So there's not invoices per se, but it's identifying the name of the entity.
Right.
So it'll give you the name of the company and then the address.
Okay.
And then you go there.
You go there and it's this random two-bedroom apartment, right?
Now, that Culver Place Strategies is a real business, but it's not ran out of Culver.
It isn't ran out of Columbia Heights, I can tell you that.
It has a real address.
And they're on a monthly retainer, basically.
Is that by the month?
Yeah, and so that's just the fundraising consulting, but then they'll have strategic consulting and digital consulting.
Chuck Schumer spent, in 2022, he spent like $12 million on website consulting.
Culver Place Strategies.
Now, in New York, are you able to get the names of the principles of companies?
I'm always curious to know if they have any direct or indirect connection to it.
Here you've got Culver Place Strategies provides consulting.
Let me bring this up.
It's just wild just to do this.
Everybody can do this if they are so obsessively inclined.
Culver Place Strategies.
Why will it not?
Let me share.
Here we go.
This looks like...
Yeah, this is New York.
Yeah, there you go.
Okay.
Implementation of aggressive multifaceted fundraising campaign.
Oh, there you go.
You got Leticia James right on their website.
Okay.
Where the vast experience of recognized leadership, principles David Monsoor and Allegra Scheinblum have a proven political...
Okay.
I want to know.
I would go dive into the connections of how far they go back.
Okay.
That's the company.
It's got a nice website.
Yeah, so it's a real company.
I've found some where there is no, you know, Tim Scott, he spent $10 million on a company that didn't exist.
It had nothing, there was no trace that this government and that this company even existed other than the P.O. box it rented out of a UPS store in Northern Charleston.
That was it.
Same type of scandals coming out of the Trudeau regime out of Canada.
You go to the offices, they're empty.
They've been taking millions of dollars in government contracts.
And what have they done with it?
Yeah.
Okay, very cool.
Yeah, so again, you know, I'm like, what could you possibly be consulting on, you know?
Strategizing for 2026.
But what we know from this and what we know from others is that what happens with these...
Consultancy firms, they end up starting, they pick up bills for certain things.
So she not only spent the, in 2023, not only spent $311,000 on campaign consultants, she also reimbursed those campaign consultants to the tune of almost $21,000.
And it's just for reimbursement.
We have no idea what those reimbursements were for, but they could have been for anything.
And so, yeah, so again, this is...
Am I having a seizure or did I just notice bubbles appear in your screen?
Yeah, I saw that too.
I just thought it was somebody like in the thing.
I thought I'm having cataracts or something.
Okay, good.
Just as long as we both saw it, I feel a little better.
Okay.
Okay, so consulting fees don't include the reimbursements.
Then there's an additional $20,000 plus in reimbursement of expenses.
Lord, that might be their lunches or their drinks if they go out.
Oh, sorry.
Go ahead.
It could be anything.
You know, Steve Scalise runs about anywhere from a $150,000 to $400,000 bill every month with a consultancy firm for travel, food, events, and consulting.
So that's how he pays them, you know.
Someone in our Rumble chat says, USA Live says, let's see Ronna McDaniel's expenses.
We're going to get to...
We're going to get to Leticia James' net worth having exploded, according to an article in a legit, seemingly legit website.
Her net worth, $15 million since her admission to the practice of law, and it seems to have ballooned over the last decade.
The lawyer, who has been serving in high positions since 2019, reportedly makes around $4 million annually, with her salary accounting for $220,000 of that sum.
What the effing eff?
Yeah.
Okay.
And now we're going to get to another add to stage, another interesting one.
Is there anything more on the consulting?
That's consulting.
Again, that's just 2023.
I like to focus on non-election years because I really think that there's no excuse why this money is getting spent.
Yeah, unless it's just authorized and, you know, you could use it for your campaign and whatever you have left over, use it for political purposes and that can be...
Right, and that's what they're doing.
That being said, then there's some stuff which can be narrowly, can hardly be described as political stuff to begin with unless, you know, merely breathing is political.
Right.
So what have we got?
Nathan's Luxury.
Nathan's Luxe Lifestyle on Martha's Vineyard last August.
$4,000.
What is this?
Yeah, you go and you look at that address, given, and it's like this kind of like, looks like a dilapidated house.
That's rustic Airbnbs.
Their consulting firm is marketing that one.
Yeah, yeah.
And so, yeah, again, $5,000.
Yeah, and that's on Martha's Vineyard.
It's in August, of course.
That's the one I was talking about, the 48 Lounge.
When was the incident with DeSantis sending a plane of immigrants over to Martha's Vineyard?
That was not coinciding with that, was it?
No, I think that was actually 2021.
So, I think.
Yeah.
My memory is very...
It's all fudged together now.
No, maybe it was 2022, actually.
Maybe it was, but it was...
I don't remember.
Yeah.
DeSantis sends migrants to Martha's.
It was September 14th, 2022.
Okay, so it still doesn't line up.
Yeah.
All right.
Interesting.
So nice, nice...
Retreat.
They were studying something there.
You'll tell me where to stop here.
Where do we go down?
The contributions.
So, you know, like I said, I'm not accusing her of breaking the law.
I actually have no doubt that she has lawyers who have reviewed this and made sure that she's actually in compliance with the law.
So did Trump, though.
So did the person that she's prosecuting.
Right.
And that's kind of the point that I made.
Is that...
I'm sorry.
That's not the puppy barking like that.
No, the puppy is asleep like a good girl.
But that's not good.
Okay.
Thank you.
Wow.
Let's go see here.
Yeah, we're going to get to the ghost bot soon.
Let me see if I missed anything.
Oh, we got Rumble Rants, which I'll get to in a bit.
I'm just reading some of the chats here.
What do we have in here?
We got starting from the bottom.
Oh, yeah.
What does Mel think of Leticia amassing $15 million in net worth while being a public servant?
Well, she makes $4 million a year.
I'm staring at my dog who's just pooped in her sleep.
Guys, I'll be back in one second.
Hold on.
Oh, gosh.
It's OK.
We're live in this.
Oh, gosh.
It just touched.
Oh, gosh.
One, two, three.
One, two, three.
What's next?
Necessarily.
Oh god, there's more!
Shhh shhh.
Oh my good god...
You done?
Sorry about that.
All right.
I don't know.
I'm not on the right screen.
Sorry about that.
I got a dog who's...
I got a paralyzed dog.
A dog who's paralyzed in the back leg, so she spontaneously poops while sleeping, and that was one that I could not leave in the bed for any extended period of time.
Okay, I washed my hands, people, just so you also know that.
Sorry for the distraction.
Where were we now?
Back to the forensic analysis.
Right.
Where were we?
I think we're getting into ghost owners now.
Right.
So, you know, like I said in the thing, Trump said it's such a high bar.
Obviously, there were no banks complaining and she still, you know, made a nothing burger out of it.
But then just to turn around and kind of run these wild expenditures and play really fast and loose with what she deems to be legitimate.
Campaign expense.
You know, it's just kind of the height of hypocrisy to me.
But it's beyond hypocrisy because if we're living in the Lavrenta Barria age of, you know, show me the person, I'll find you the crime, someone can easily go through this and easily find certain expenses that were not unlawfully, but rather impermissibly included as campaign.
Undoubtedly.
Without exception.
Make a federal case out of that, pun intended, and you could go after Leticia James for that.
Oh, but her accountants authorized it.
So she got the...
What's the defense of professional advice or professional approval?
She'll raise the defense.
Trump doesn't get it.
Right.
I mean, we've seen it for now, what, six years now.
It's political privilege.
There's no white privilege.
It's political privilege.
Yeah.
And so the next thing I came to, so I was already kind of like, oh, this is good stuff.
You know, it'll be entertaining.
But the next thing that I came to with her, I downloaded the contributions.
So I was already really well aware of the ghost owners at the federal level.
And so what I did was I, same site, the New York Campaign Finance, you can look at contributions, right?
And what you can do is you can pull up the candidate and you can filter by year.
Right.
And so it'll tell you how much was raised and it'll show you the receipts for that year.
So every time somebody gives to a candidate, it's counted as a receipt.
And so in the first year she ran, which was her major campaign because she had the primary and it was competitive.
She took in three point nine million dollars and she had two thousand nine hundred and eighty three receipts.
Right.
Which is which is normal.
And like I said, in New York there they have a pretty high.
Um, cap of what you're allowed to give.
And so she had 2,570 in-state receipts, um, and then 413.
And most of those came from New Jersey and, like, Massachusetts, like, states that are, um, Connecticut that are, like, right there.
So it kind of made sense, you know, um, that, uh, that even with the out-of-state ones, that, that it was somebody who would potentially be impacted by the New York Attorney General, um, uh.
Then the next year, you know, 700,000, she's got 1,200 receipts.
Next year, it's 2020, she's got 405,000, and she's got 1,800 receipts.
Then we get to 2021, and she's got 2.4 million and 5,698 receipts, which is a lot.
That's pushing double of what she did in 2018.
But we're coming up on election, whatever.
And obviously, you know, there's a lot of stuff, a lot of anti-Trump stuff that year.
So I could see how she could have raised that.
And I'm just doing the math.
I mean, averaging out the dollar per receipt is useless because there could be massive receipts and then insignificant receipts.
Right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So then we get to 2022.
And this is where I knew, you know, it just kind of pops out at you.
She raised $3.2 million, but she had $32,593 receipts.
So, boom.
I download those, and it's the first thing I do.
I sort them by state, right?
Because we've got the contribution, their name, and then, of course, their address.
And she's got 12,408 in-state donors, but then she's got 20,185 out-of-state donors.
So it was 62% of her donation.
And to reiterate, out-of-state donations are not...
It's impermissible.
Out of country is impermissible, but as long as you're in the U.S., you can give.
That's like a giant red flag because obviously who does that?
Who gives to an attorney general in another state?
What I did was I downloaded them all, I filtered, and I started taking the names.
What you notice is that Once you filter by state, then you can filter by name and you'll see that actually in each state you've got 15, 20, maybe 30 people, but they've been giving 10, 15, 20 times.
And so I just start taking their names and running them through the FEC website because I want to see.
And lo and behold, every single one is coming back with 200, 300, 400 donations.
In 2022.
And so I just pulled two names that I thought were particularly egregious.
One of them was a woman from South Dakota.
She had given at the federal level 3,232 times.
So that's like nine contributions every single day for the year 2022.
Because that's the filter that I put on, just 2022.
But then she also gave to Leticia Dames 25 separate times.
And then she also gave to Kathy Hochul nine separate times.
Then I ran that woman's name through Google.
And just in a simple Google search, she shows up on the donor roles in Nevada, Idaho.
I believe it was Wisconsin and Virginia.
And this is not a name like a Jessica Smith that is susceptible of this?
And it goes through to an address as well?
Yeah, it connects back to the address.
How much total did this individual give?
So at the federal level, she gave, I believe it was 39,000.
Or maybe it was 40 something thousand.
Yeah, we're in the many tens of thousands.
Oh yeah, yeah.
Shut the front door.
Okay, and then at the state levels, can you tell that up?
Yeah, so at the state level in New York State, she gave $309 to Kathy Hochul and like $223 to Letitia James.
And I didn't like the other states.
I just noted, I just screenshotted, you know, her name and whatnot.
Again, these people don't know that their names are being used.
So I never, ever post their information because they didn't ask for any of this, obviously.
Someone actually on her 234 says, was she even aware of the donations?
Did you reach out to them personally by any chance?
I did not.
No, no, no.
This woman lives in South Dakota and you don't have their phone numbers.
I mean, I could pay to like, you know, but I don't need to.
Like I said, you know, we've had James O 'Keefe going.
You know, we've got plenty of documentation that people don't know.
And when you really just think about the sheer volume of it, it's, I don't want to say it's impossible.
It's technically possible if, you know, this...
A 68-year-old woman wants to sit there and make nine separate donations at the federal level every single day.
And then God knows how many at the state level.
Technically, she could.
But we know that that's not happening.
You know, you don't have to be a genius to figure that out.
And then I guess the issue then is, I mean, the question I'm asking is, if they don't know about it, is it legal?
I mean, I guess at this stage...
It is not legal.
It is not legal to make a donation in someone else's name, ever.
It is never legal for someone to give you money and you make a donation.
Nor is it legal for someone to use your name and your information to make donations.
That is absolutely against the law.
Okay.
And then I guess the bottom line question is, what might you do with this information?
But let me bring back the table.
I think this is the table.
Is this the table of the ghost donors per year?
So that's the total receipts per year.
Okay.
And again, that's something that I made, but you can go and you can, you know, a lot of people say, well, where's, you know, the, I make this so that it's very easily digestible for normal people.
But at any time, if you want to go check me, you can go to the New York State campaign page and you can look at all yourself, you know?
And this, oh, so this is the woman who we're talking about.
Yeah, so I downloaded her stuff.
And yeah, of course, I take out her last name, but she's from Sioux Falls.
And yeah, so what's that?
$46,000 at the federal level.
I mean, it's obviously a scam and it's obviously...
No, but they'll go after other people until they're blue in the face and never mind this.
If you go to my page and you search ghost owners, I did another thread on this where, you know, I found this guy who lived in like a...
He's a retiree.
He lives in a 900-square-foot house in Michigan.
They had him making $80,000 in donations in one year.
Another guy, and that was to win red, and then I did a Democrat, and they had him making $135,000 in donations.
Again, that was in the span of two years.
These are 15,000 separate donations.
It's clearly a scam, yeah.
I'm just wondering also from the individual's perspective, let's assume that they're tax-deductible, these donations, which I think they are.
They're not.
They're not tax-deductible.
No.
Is there, I'm just trying to think of any potential financial impact on the individual if it's deemed to be some sort of, I mean, if it's deemed revenue, that it has to be if they're spending it, and if they get reassessed, maybe then that's how this gets exposed for what it could be.
If they're spending $50,000 in their name that they either, someone gave them, although illegal, that's still something of a gift that's then regifted.
There has to be some tax consequences to this scheme on its face, but I'm not, I'll ask around, okay.
Right, yeah.
I mean, You know, some people have said, OK, somebody could sue and there might be a case for like reputational damage because some of these people, you know, like obviously they didn't like the candidates.
They could say, you know, I don't like the fact that, you know, you sold my name by giving to this candidate who I can't stand.
But something, you know, I noticed some similarities after after looking at thousands of these people.
The things that I picked up on was, number one, they are not active on social media.
They usually have almost zero internet presence whatsoever.
Every now and then you'll find a story, a local news story using their names or whatnot.
Number two, they're older, so they're almost all over the age of 60, but most of them are in their 70s and 80s and a lot of them are in their 90s.
How many of them, not a joke, how many are dead?
So I've never found a dead person, but what I have found is like when I did a search through my own zip codes.
Um, and I downloaded, you know, looking for people who, um, it's really creepy when people die.
Um, the, uh, the donations cut off immediately.
They'll cut off on the day that they died.
Um, yeah, I found one guy he had given like, um, you know, in just one year.
It was something like 8,000 times.
And, you know, so I forget how many that is per day, but, you know, like 40 a day.
But then, so he died of lung cancer is what I saw in his obituary.
And they had him doing these donations all the way up to the day he died and then never again.
You know, so...
That's wild.
I mean, it's algorithmic.
It's not even human intervention.
Right.
And so the other thing you'll notice when you're looking at them is that it's done in verse.
So that's what I think that they do is that they'll do like, it'll be like, you know, one donation on the 18th, one donation on the 21st, another one on the 22nd, four on the 23rd, and then nothing again for another five days, right?
And then boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
And then silence.
So I think that they do that so that they can run and make sure, you know.
Sorry, this is a lot to add.
Just want to look at these closer, the date-wise.
Retired, you got, look at this, just day after day.
Why even?
Okay, it's okay.
Okay, all right.
So yeah, that's $1,500, and that's just what I could fit in the screenshot.
When you download now, the other thing is when you go to download all of the data, there'll be a lot more.
There'll be so it'll have the image number, the transaction ID on it as well.
I usually I just hide that because it's just easier for people to visualize.
But I all of those are there so you can confirm because the first time I ever did it, I was like, you know, I spent hours just looking at the transaction IDs, you know, making sure that, no, this isn't the same transaction over and over again.
And it's for whatever reason, reporting purposes.
That's, you know, it's having to get reported three or four times.
No, that's not it.
They all have individual transaction IDs.
They will have different processing dates, even when it's on the same day.
You'll see them four or five times, and they all have different transaction IDs.
Now, we've scrolled to the end of the research.
I mean, that's the bulk of the research that you found on Letisa James, which...
It's probably true mutatis mutatis of many others, if not all other attorney generals and people in politics.
The obvious question now is what do you do with this information above and beyond what you already have done with it?
Right.
So I think the most important thing is to get people aware of it, obviously.
Like I said, Peter Berneger, he told me that he has filed 40 complaints with the FEC.
He's actually got one because, of course, Fannie Willis, she also had all of these ghost owners in hers.
Somebody did a really great dive on that.
And he's actually got one pending with the, I believe it's the Georgia campaign finance people.
He's got one pending with them.
He made it through the first hurdle.
Basically, they said, yeah, we're going to look at it.
Maybe the tactic is to go after a Republican candidate so that the SEC, if politicized, will be more amenable to looking into it.
Right.
I mean, you know, like I said, the creepy thing to me was, you know, not a single Republican said anything about my thread.
Nothing, you know.
Wild.
Yeah.
What I want to do, well, first of all, so now...
You have a, it's called Buy Me A Coffee.
It's sort of like Patreon.
I'm going to give everybody the link to that.
We have 11,500 people watching on Rumble, which is magnificent.
Link to Mel's Buy Me A Coffee.
I am very much partial to locals.
I think any other platform is a waste, but that's the link to the Buy Me A Coffee.
It's like Patreon.
Does it allow video?
How do I bring it up here?
So it just allows people, you know, it's like a tip jar, essentially.
This stuff takes a long time to go through.
And I've had so many people, so many kind people, you know, really encouraging messages.
I just love all the messages that people leave.
I read all of them.
But it's just, it has been really nice because I actually have gotten a lot of copies this time.
People are really grateful for...
Investigative journalism, for people digging and exposing things.
But it takes a long time.
I'm doing one right now.
I was hoping to have it so I could drop it for you, but when I really got into it, I started it last week, and yesterday I was trying to wrap it around.
It's difficult to make it so that people can understand, so they don't get lost, so their eyes don't glaze over, because these people are really sneaky.
And they transfer this money all over the place and you have to follow it bit by bit.
But, you know, so I think everyone's really going to like the one that I have coming.
I know that.
Amazing.
Now, there's some questions in our locals community for you.
Are the candidates responsible for reviewing campaign donations to ensure or to ensure that the donations are not fraudulent?
I think in Canada, I'm fairly certain.
Well, we had limits.
I don't know if we were responsible to report.
But I mean, geez, Louise, if you know something's fraudulent, you report it anyhow.
But do you know what the law is?
So I'm pretty sure.
I mean, usually when they happen, they hire it out.
They have compliance consultants.
Excuse me.
Compliance services that will review this stuff.
You know, I like to say that the best defense that somebody has.
Right now, these politicians that are doing this, their best defense is that they think that old people across the country are sending them tens of thousands of dollars and they're then blowing.
It's an impossible thing to believe, especially not to be judgmental, unless they're sitting on bags of gold that they hid in their backyard while living in modest accommodations.
No, it's an implausible thing to believe.
Right.
So I'm sure they would say, we had no idea.
But, you know, then I'm like, well, then your defense is that you actually thought you were taking money from senior citizens living on fixed incomes and you were blowing it on five-star luxury hotels and private jets.
You know, like, in some ways, that's just more despicable to me than, you know, than you admitting, yeah, I knew the money was coming from Qatar.
And I was like, whatever, you know, YOLO.
You know, that's actually a better defense, you know, because if you actually think it's coming, like I found this one guy, this little old man, 91 years old, lives in a single-wide trailer in the California desert.
They had him down for $89,000 in contributions, and it like made me sick thinking that.
And, of course, it's being spread out all over the place.
But still, him giving $3,000, that's a lot of money to give to a single candidate.
You didn't think to look, hey, man, this guy's given me 50, 60, 70 donations in a single cycle.
It's wild, because even assuming he's doing it...
Right.
Dilapidate his life savings so that you can go to, what was it called?
Cabaret in Puerto Rico?
Yeah, so you can run up a $10,000 bill at the Capitol Hill Club.
Or so you can go to Puerto Rico.
It makes me sick thinking about them.
But the reality is, they take comfort in knowing that that's not the case.
Yeah, they know damn well where the money's coming from.
Even though I'm sure they've insulated themselves.
Because otherwise, how could you sleep at night, you know, if you actually thought that you were taking, you know, millions and millions of dollars from retirees on fixed incomes?
But so, yeah, so when I traced this stuff, when I started first looking into it, really like digging into it, I found that Democrats started it in 2018.
I actually think I know who it started with, if you're interested.
I can talk about this for hours, so you're just going to have to cut me off.
No, no.
Well, I want to get to some of the questions that we have.
Bill Brown in our Locals community says, yet the IRS never caught this.
Etexly says, this Texas special interest group caught my attention.
Mothers Against Greg Abbott, MAGA.
And then it says, search through the Texas Ethics Commission.
Well, I'll screen grab that and look at that afterwards.
Bill Brown says, another lawyer had the bubble thing occur in his stream as well.
This might be tedious, but we'll bring it up so that we can read these.
There should be some questions for you in here.
These are the tips that they give on Rumble.
Seems that's what Nikki Haley is doing by staying in a race she can't win.
Oh, yes.
Oh, yes, yes, yes.
And she's getting an advance for the book that's coming.
There's no question about that.
That was from PJH879.
We got Sammy says, do we know or can we find out which companies are processing the credit card transactions for the political action committees?
Can they subpoena the transaction histories from the PACs?
So it's the WinRed and the ActBlue are the ones getting, because you can track the expenditures, the credit card transaction fees.
And so those are the two primaries.
Like I said, Republicans use Anodot, I think it is.
And then Democrats, they have another one that they use, but I can't remember the name of it right now.
You know who you look like in that freeze frame?
A young Laura Dern.
I don't know.
Oh, she's a classic actress.
Okay, now hold on.
We got...
This is...
Biltong, I haven't gotten it yet.
Sorry, I meant to pop my mic there.
Good afternoon from Anton's in Roanoke, Texas.
Free shipping for your Biltong order.
Biltong using code VIVA.
www.BiltongUSA or AntonUSA.
Your shipment will be...
En route today, Viva.
Thank you very much.
It's a beef jerky alternative, like a softer beef jerky.
Oh, nice, yeah.
It's the most effective marketing ever, a rumble rant, and you reach a massive audience.
Late to the game, but I think Keith Oh has rectopedal psychosis, a condition that interviews...
Sorry, that says rectopedal.
Yeah.
Sorry, that's a joke at the end of the second.
That can't be a real disease.
It interferes with rational thought due to having the SCOTUS foot shoved so far up your ass.
Pseudo Biden says, Mel, put your thumbs up in front of your camera.
You will get the fireworks.
It's a Mac OS feature.
Go like this.
Okay, hold it.
Maybe on both sides?
I don't know.
No, nothing yet.
Oh, maybe it has to be on full.
Well, the full screen wouldn't make a difference there.
Okay, we got...
So how can we check that donations are not being made in our names?
We can discuss that.
And then Avalanche says, Can I share my screen and I can walk people through it real quick.
It's really easy.
Absolutely.
I'll get this one done and we'll do that.
Viva, I just checked my mom's contributions on the FEC.
It shows she donated 100 plus bucks.
I want to know where to go to find out how to report.
This is fraudulent, says Avalanche.
Well, let's do that right now, shall we?
Remove this.
Go here.
And so put in the back, let me stop screen, and put in the back what you want to share, and then I think I get to bring it up.
Okay.
We're going to see some boomerang here, because I don't know if I can give you permission to share screen.
Hold on.
There.
Laura Dern was in The Lost Highway.
No, she was in the movie with Nicolas Cage.
Wild at Heart.
A David Lynch movie back in the day when movies used to be good.
Okay.
Let me see.
I think I have to...
Okay, I don't know if this is gonna...
Is that...
No, I see nothing.
You could maybe...
Oh, there you go.
I see it now.
Okay.
So now I can add to stage.
Let me know when you're ready.
Okay.
Is that...
Whatever I just saw, I no longer see.
Maybe...
I saw it for a second and then it disappeared.
Let's see.
There.
All right, there.
Can you see?
Yep, I'm bringing it up.
All right, so let's go at blue.
Okay, we're gonna, boom.
Okay, so you can see browse receipts on there.
And so we've got 29 million receipts.
Give me a zip code of like a decent sized city.
42879.
I just made that up.
Hold on.
Let me see.
Let's see.
I can Google.
Google New York or do I want to go?
Indianapolis zip code.
So let's see.
46107.
That's pretty close.
Okay.
That's done from there.
Let's see.
46183.
All right.
That is not...
46206.
Oh.
If you do, you want to do the Boston zip code?
Let me see something real quick.
Yeah, if you're doing like, let's see.
The website is, someone in the chat's asking, is fec.gov.
And then you put in ActBlue in the search bar.
Yeah.
And then it brings you to that.
Now, someone says 46,250.
Put in Bingo or something.
I know, right?
So, okay, this is really weird.
Hold on.
Because this is actually, of course, never happened to me.
Let me...
Of course.
And now someone says, what happens to the funds after you request a refund?
What if the person who had 93,000 donated in their name, if they ask for a refund, can they get that all back?
So it is, no.
I believe it's probably going to go back to whoever charged it.
Yeah.
So, of course.
It never works.
It never works when everyone's watching.
Right.
Of course.
You know, this is, let's see.
All right, boom.
So I use, this is in my town.
So now we've got that.
So what I do is when I'm looking for somebody, I've got 974, and this is just in 2023.
So you put in a zip code?
Into the screen that you were brought to by putting in ActBlue in FEC.gov.
And that's going to give you all of the donations under that zip code by name.
Let me go see if I made any political donations.
I think I was never allowed.
FEC.gov.
Are you a resident?
I think if you're a resident...
I'm a resident, but I'm definitely not a citizen or a permanent resident.
Yeah.
So then usually what I do is I pull up, again, this is just one year, so this is actually not that many.
That 29 million receipts is not that many.
Looking at the 2023, 2024, because it hasn't really kicked off yet.
It's going to kick off here as soon as the primary's done.
Really, probably after today is when things are really going to heat up.
That's right.
It's Super Tuesday today.
Right.
Apparently, Joe Biden asked for the soup.
Bada bing, bada boom.
That's an old joke.
So, the other thing that you will notice when you go to the MPC website is, even though it's very user-friendly, it locks a lot.
So, that's one way you can look through it.
You can also look by source name, if you can see right here.
Looking through ActBlue.
If you're a Republican, especially if you're a registered Republican, you're never going to be given to ActBlue.
They're not going to use your name.
They're going to use it in WinRed, right?
And so...
Yeah, I'm doing this as we do this.
Now I got the year coverage dates.
I'm just going to...
So, boom.
So, here we go.
We've got a gentleman here.
This is his name, and we've got him down giving 60 cents.
Act blue.
60 cents over and over again.
So, what I do usually is I'll go and I'll copy that name just to get an idea, and I'll put it in here, and then searching for individual contributions from this person.
60 cents, it feels like we're already uncovering something very suspicious.
Right, yeah.
Sorry, it takes a little while.
Okay, so boom!
Now we see, okay, well here's somebody.
And those look kind of, you know, this is a lawyer, so I know that my guy is from North Carolina, so I come down.
And I can search.
I'll add in North Carolina, so that's going to filter out anyone not.
And always make sure you add that second filter, because, yeah, you might see, oh, that's not me, but it's, you know, obviously just somebody else with the same name.
Yeah, I'm noticing it does take a long time to...
It does, yeah.
Usually it's actually a lot quicker than this.
I don't know why it's going so slow.
They know we're talking about us.
We're talking about them.
I'm joking.
Yesterday, when I was downloading this stuff, after I just spent ranting on the phone with my sister, the FEC, it shut me out of Safari.
Everything.
And I was freaking out.
You know, I was like, "No, I need to download the rest of that!" But I don't know.
I closed the whole application out, opened it back up, and it was fine.
The chat says it's freezing because we're all looking in real time.
Link to locals, because that's where we're heading in a few minutes.
So that's the essence of how to do the search, and then you can play with the filters.
So yeah, so this one is actually, this is a baby one.
This is, again, and you can see, this is...
This is so flipping cool.
I just got my...
This is so cool.
Yeah.
Okay.
I'm seeing a lot of 60 cent donations from the same name.
Yeah, this is...
That's like nothing.
Trust me.
I hate that I picked one that's only got 23 because I assure you, you do...
You know.
But what would explain how someone even gives a 60-cent donation?
Is it an annual that's divvied up over a month?
Or are we to believe that someone said, I'm donating 60 cents, here's my credit card information?
Who knows?
Yeah.
Wild.
Yeah, I know.
So, this is just the one thing.
We got here a question.
It says, Diane Freeman says, however, there are clear prohibitions against personal use.
Campaign funds cannot be used for personal expenses unrelated to the campaign or the duties of the office.
Yeah, but everything's related to the...
When their mere existence is political, their toilet paper is political, even if it's at their house, even if it's like Charmin.
Let me show you one.
Let me show you the other way that I...
Oh.
Yeah, let's see.
Okay, we'll go back to FEC.
Okay, I'm going to bring it back to stage here?
Uh-huh.
Somebody that I know is just awful.
I don't know why it's taking so long.
Somebody that's awful.
I mean, the exception would be someone who you know that's not awful in politics.
Right.
Yeah.
I don't know why this thing is taking so long.
The joke is there might be thousands and thousands of people who are...
Right.
And that's probably what it is.
I'm trying to look up Dan Crenshaw's because his abuse of campaign funds is almost legendary.
If anybody's asking for the link, the link is fec.gov, and then you go to the website, and you go into the glossary little thing on the top right with the magnifying glass, and then you put in ActBlue.
Let me see if that's what you want.
And then it brings you, then you'll see the ActBlue comes up, you highlight, you go into that.
It's taken a very long time.
And then when it comes up as a...
I'm trying another way to do it.
Yeah.
Come on.
There's a spam in Rumble, and I don't understand the purpose of the spam.
Attention, Mel Gibson is live right now.
He's not.
Biden is going down tonight.
He's not.
You've been doing this for months.
You are banned forever, spammer, but you'll be back with a new account within five minutes.
The website keeps locking up, unfortunately.
Yeah, well, I mean, that's a good sign.
If there was a way, actually, is there a way to see the traffic history?
Google.
Traffic history for fec.gov.
See if there's been a massive spike in the last five minutes.
Yeah.
Either way, people have gotten enough of the info.
Okay, there we go.
Okay, so, boom.
So, let's see.
House, but I'm on house candidates.
Okay, so.
Crenshaw.
Here we go.
2022.
Legendary.
You're not going to make any enemies in our community.
People have long shifted their opinions of Dan Crenshaw based on some research.
He's just awful.
He's just awful, awful.
And so I'll show you how I download.
And yeah, you'll be able to see exactly.
In 2022, and I did a thread on this.
You can search my Twitter for Crenshaw.
I broke it all down.
He spent millions of dollars on events.
He expensed $1,200 for event makeup.
He spent $18,000 on promotional eye patches.
He spent...
Sorry, this is not to make fun.
He's got an eye patch.
I'm sorry, but what did you just say?
Promotional eye patches?
How much?
$18,000.
Let me think about how I feel about this.
I mean, once you're forced to wear the face masks, people were making, you know, not designer, but custom face masks.
He needs to wear an eye patch.
It's a decent marketing tool.
No, I'm going to say that that also is...
Okay, it doesn't matter.
That's not my decision to make.
That's wild.
Yep.
And they were for him.
It's not like he's making eye patches to hand out to people that say vote for Dan Crenshaw.
I don't know.
They might have actually been for that reason.
Again, $18,000 worth.
People just want you to close the damn border.
We don't need your eye patches.
Someone got a $10 rant over on Rumble that says, Viva, please donate a billion pennies 10,000 times a day to Latisa James in my name.
Hells to the bells.
No, I'll wake up with the FBI at my front door if I do that.
Oh, I know, right?
Oh, man.
$18,000 on designer custom eyepatches.
We got...
Yeah, let's...
Let me see.
Go to my page.
Oh, I can't search my profile for Crenshaw.
Yeah.
I'm sorry, guys.
Oh, don't worry, but it doesn't matter.
But we got the idea.
I think enough people understand how to do it now that it's being wildly overloaded.
Yeah, I've never actually seen that thing on there, which is really good.
It's exciting.
I want to show people how they can download it, especially if you have a Mac.
It's a lot to take in, but it's really easy.
To kind of figure it out.
And especially if you're like me.
Oh, let me stop sharing that.
People saying, I hate Dan Crenshaw.
GOP, Geezer's old party is a dying breed.
And then someone else says, Diane Freeman in a chat says, Aviva, continue on mortgage payments, country club memberships, vacation expenses.
Most people, well, they live and breathe politics and they're worth it because, damn it, they've got to get to the illegitimate president.
My own representative, Richard Hudson, he spent $27,000 at Vineyard Vines on quote-unquote campaign apparel.
Is that a winery or is that a retail clothing store?
It's a clothing store.
It's like a yuppie clothing store.
Yeah, but $27,000.
He didn't even have any campaign employees.
He spent $27,000 on himself, obviously.
He spent $1,200 on the Telluride ski lift.
You've got Crenshaw out there.
He's spending $5,000 at a hotel in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
Another one, Lake Tahoe.
This Deer Park Lodge place.
I looked it up.
It's beautiful.
It's $900 a night.
I mean, like I said, millions of dollars on events, quote-unquote events, and paying for everything from the makeup, presumably for his wife, for the event, to tens of thousands of dollars on flowers.
It's a joke.
They'll find the justification when it's for an ally, and then they'll find the crime when it's for an adversary.
That's just how it works.
Right.
Like I said, nobody is as egregious.
Well, Crenshaw's is pretty egregious, but the guy I'm doing right now, I'm telling you, I just...
Is he Republican or Democrat?
Well, he calls himself a Republican.
We'll say that.
I already know who it is.
I could read you.
I'll say the answer and then a bubble is going to appear on your Mac OS.
It's going to say Viva got it right.
I'm not going to guess.
I'll DM you afterwards.
So when do you expect to drop that?
Hopefully by Thursday.
I've got everything pulled out.
Like I said, I started it last week.
I don't ever want to accuse anyone of anything that I can't back up.
I go to great lengths to make sure that I follow everything to its end, that there is no other possible conclusion for where this money went and why.
Someone says, Mitt's Nate says there's over 300 million people, 330 million in the U.S., not including the illegals, and the FEC server can't handle 12,000.
Dude, they probably can't handle 300.
I forget.
I don't think everybody watching is doing that, but I think they can't even handle 300.
Right, yeah, yeah.
And then someone said, try 12603, end of the Hudson Line, New York, lots of Democrats here.
Okay, this has been phenomenal.
I've never had that experience where I put in...
So I really do think that the server was just...
I pull up a random zip code like that and always at least one.
And if you're not hitting with Act Red, hit with Act Blue, it's the uni party.
It's all one.
In my opinion, it doesn't even matter anymore.
Clearly, none of these people represent us.
That's wild.
I mean, first of all, it's amazing.
And the amount of people who now can do this on their own, but everyone should be careful not to make...
I've had so many people reach out to me.
I've had data analysts asking me, what can I do?
And so I've been trying to get it together so that we can...
Because really, we have to wake people up and get them...
People don't even know this.
Most people really do think that they're not allowed to spend that money on anything that's not related to the campaign.
And I think that that's one reason why the thread kind of took off, is because people, they're just flabbergasted at the idea that you can spend this money on a...
It's like, hey, raise $50 million for an uncontested race, and you've got your piggy bank for the next four years.
That's wild.
Here's something, not at the state level, but at the federal level, there's so many layers.
So you have your principal campaigns, but then you also have these things called joint fundraising accounts.
That they all run.
A joint fundraising account is where the, you know, we'll say Crenshaw, he will put the National Republican Congressional Committee on his joint fundraising account.
So now he can collect a check for himself for, you know, what is it?
$6,600 for, you know, $3,300 for the primary, $3,300 for the general.
But now he can also collect $6,600 for everyone else associated with the NRCC.
So this is where the big dogs come to play, and this is where they collect $100,000 checks from these big-time donors, right?
So now they say, well, the same rules still apply.
They're still only allowed to transfer $6,600 into their principal campaign committee.
But what they leave out is that the joint fundraising committee is allowed to spend as much as it wants on, quote-unquote, operating expenditures.
Take, for instance, somebody like Steve Scalise.
Steve Scalise has not one, but two joint fundraising committees, which he raised $50 million with in 2022.
Steve Scalise spent in operating expenditures $25 million in two years on operating expenditures for his joint fundraising committees.
That doesn't include his principal.
Campaign, or his principal, yeah, campaign, which also I think spent $8 million.
And it doesn't include, the other thing that they have is called leadership packs.
And these leadership packs are also, they are quote-unquote unconnected to the candidate.
It's a whole other giant mess, but it's just a giant slush fund.
All of them are giant slush funds.
Yeah, like I said, Steve Scalise runs anywhere from $150,000 to $400,000 a month bill that he pays to a consultancy firm for travel and events and food and consulting.
Yeah.
Wild.
Someone in the chat on Rumble said, just stop donating.
Well, what's clear is it doesn't even matter if you do, they'll donate in your room.
I know.
That's what's so frustrating.
Everyone's like, well, I'm not giving them another dollar.
And it's like, they don't even care because they're getting this money and we don't know where.
And it is infuriating.
Trust me.
I know.
I spent half my life just angry at these people.
You know, our border is wide open.
You know, we have an actual dementia patient, a clear criminal in the White House.
These people do nothing but dog and pony shows all day, every day.
And then, you know, have the audacity to send you an email saying they need more money when they don't need a damn dime, you know?
Now, one last question.
Someone said give your Twitter handle.
It's Village Crazy Lady, but there's no A in the village.
So E-I-L-L-G-E Crazy Lady.
I do need to ask, I think you did explain it on your feed.
What's up with the name?
So in 2020, my sister and I and one other lady, we went and we were kind of protesting outside of the...
The governor's mansion to reopen the schools in August 2020.
And this guy came and he rolled by and he said, "You are like the village crazy ladies out here." It's a good name and I presume spelt out entirely was already taken, so...
No, there's a character limit.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, really?
Okay.
Yeah, so, you know, it just kind of...
Again, I'm crazy because I want the kids to be in school, you know?
It's so funny.
It trips me out every time somebody is mocking me, you know, like about the vaccine.
Like, oh, you really are the Village Crazy Lady.
I'm like, oh, you know, you shouldn't give experimental vaccines to babies, you know, kind of thing.
And so, yeah, that's, you know, I never thought in a million years that...
I would be, you know, live streaming in front of 12,000 people.
I never thought in my entire life I'd be living in Florida having to have fled my own country looking like a madman raging against the machine.
Who could have ever imagined in 2019, 2020 would happen and this is where we'd be in 2024?
I was really like a super normal person in 2019.
Well, I tell you, you're still normal and it's the people who were, you know, I say the eccentrics who are the normal because...
If being normal means doing what normal people did, who the hell wants to be normal?
Yeah.
Now, Mel, ordinarily, I would end the stream and we would talk, but I'm going to bring this over to locals, and I have one of our locals members who's going to come on, so I won't get to say our proper goodbyes, but I'll text you after this.
It's been amazing.
I will continue following.
Please keep up with...
Keep me up to date with any updates.
Text me, whatever.
And everybody knows where to find you, but I'll put your Twitter link, your Buy Me A Coffee link, and people will know where to find you.
You're doing amazing stuff.
Yes, awesome.
Thank you so much.
And thank you guys for watching.
My pleasure.
All right.
Girl, have a good day.
Thank you very much.
Bye-bye.
Bye-bye.
Well, that was amazing, people.
That was damned amazing.
It's amazing.
Like, just a smart person with certain set of skills.
I feel like now I'm channeling Liam Neeson.
A paralegal with a certain set of skills that can undo, uncover, reveal the corruption for everyone to see.
Thank you, Mel.
Great job.
The eye patch is made of gold.
That, I can tell you, if it were made of gold, yeah, two ounces, you're looking at $4,000.
You're on to something.
Windy 372 bottle alert.
Well, it doesn't really matter for the remainder of this stream because we are going over to locals, people.
Ban that person forever.
That was amazing.
Snip, clip, share away, everybody.
The thing is that the argument's going to be, well, this is within the bounds of the law.
To which I will say before our guest comes in on vivabarneslaw.locals.com, bullshit is what I'm going to say to that.
What Trump did was within the bounds of the law.
Professional reliance was the word I was looking for.
Quite clearly it was within the bounds of the law because he, you know, I won't say got away with it because it was never an issue until they decided to say, no, it's no longer within the bounds of the law.
Oh, what's that you gave?
I'm not going to go over the Leticia James persecution and New York nipple judge anger on outrageous ruling.
But this was amazing.
Is it Saul Alinsky who said make them live by their own standards?
I'm pretty sure that's one of the legit make them live by their own standards.
I'm pretty sure that's one of Saul Alinsky's rules for radicals.
Yeah, make your opponents live up to their own book of rules.
The one statement that people often misattribute to Saul Alinsky is accuse your enemy of what you're doing so as to create confusion.
That is not, as far as I understand, one of the rules of radicals.
That was a...
Hitlerian Joseph Goebbels piece of propaganda that worked ever so well.
So what we're going to do now, this has been amazing and I hope everyone enjoyed it.
Tomorrow...
Hold on.
You'll understand why I was unable to leave that deuce in her bed.
Let me see if I can see.
This is what Pudgy is doing right now.
Rolling around, but that's Winston in front of her.
That's a happy dog.
If I had left that, oh my gosh, that would have been a mess.
Tomorrow's going to be amazing.
I think it starts at 9 o 'clock in the morning.
The Ashley Merchant having been subpoenaed by the Georgia State Legislature in their investigation into the big Fannie Willis.
So I'll be live.
It's going to be amazing.
If you're not, coming over to vivabarneslaw.locals.com.
So be it.
Everyone's entitled to make their own choices.
But we are ending on Rumble.
Thank you all for being here.
It was amazing.
And I hope everyone enjoyed it.
With that said...
Off to locals, and then I'm gonna go fishing, maybe.
I got one of those cone things that the fish swim into and they can't swim out of, so you can use live bait minnows so I can maybe catch some fish.
We have one time to block one spammer here.
So everybody, thank you all for being here.
Be sure to tune in tomorrow morning.
We'll be live with Ashley Merchant.
And that's it.
Viva Frye, the merch store, vivabarneslaw.locals.com for our wonderful community.
Share, subscribe before you leave, and drop a thumbs up if you haven't already done it.
Go and enjoy the day.
Peace out, peeps.
Locals, here I comes.
End livestream, and there's always one step extra.
Now, I'm out.
Okay, I think I did it properly that time.
People!
We're in locals now, so I'm going to go into some detail about what came out of Pudge.
Holy crap!
I'm joking.
Janice, if you can see me, I see your box in the bottom.
I see your square has come up, so let me know when I see your camera go live.
Unless there's no camera.
Hold on a second.
I'm going to email our local supporter.
Chat of the day is one that we had scheduled a while back.
