means that we speak with ap Dylan, a reporter for
the North State Journal. You can read a reporting at
nsjonline dot com. She also publishes a substack dot com
newsletter called more to the Story, Ap, How are you today?
Speaker 2: I'm great, Pete. How are you doing?
Speaker 1: I'm doing all right myself. So you're like a machine.
You just keep cranking out content all the time. So
that's why I have you on so this way you
can do it all and then I could just ask
you about what you've written. So we I think we
spoke about the Act Blue fundraising platform for the Democrats
in the past, and the smurfing where people are surprised
to find out that they have been their name and
information has been used to make donations to Act Blue.
They haven't actually lost any money, they're just seeing their
name appear on these donations. And then also there was
the the Act Blue platform. They failed to implement just
like your basic safety security safeguards for credit card applications
or not applications, but the use of your credit card
to make a donation with the little CVV number on
the back, you know, they're not they don't ask for that.
And so this is now first off, it's now gotten
the attention of the administration right and the House under
the Republicans had already drawn up a pretty lengthy report
about the problems that this Act Blue platform has had.
And so why should people care? I'll start there with
why should people care about whether this platform was protecting
the credit card security? And why people should care about
whether or not they were smurfing.
Speaker 2: Well, the failure of Act Blue to use the credit
card verification code. They did that for quite some time
where they weren't verifying the credit cards, which means that
anyone could buy like a gift card, you know, vius
a gift card and make a bunch of small donations
in someone's name from anywhere in the world, and that
money would get funneled to whatever candidate or whatever you know,
campaign that was being run, or even an individual donor
group that was running their money through there. So that
means that foreign donations could have been coming into elections
and to campaigns.
Speaker 1: And in fact, this was not new. I went over this,
I think a couple a week or so ago, that
this tactic was not new. Obama did the same sort
of thing they allowed. They did not click a button
basically to turn off donations from foreign sourcing, and that
allowed them to keep pulling in all of this money
from foreign sources and not reporting it. And then, of
course he won and his FEC declined to pursue the
matter after he won. So it's not a new tactic,
but it essentially opens the door to foreign influence in
our elections.
Speaker 2: And yeah, and the House Oversight Committee did a report
on that that came out last December, right, And if
anyone goes to the House Oversite website, you can look
up the reports that they filed. There's a tab for
that and pull that down. And it went over a
number of different instances where they found hundreds and hundreds
of donations under a particular universe the visual's name, and
that person didn't make those donations, you know, like a
little two dollars, like at least six or seven times
a day for you know, an entire six month period,
you know, totally some thing like fifty or sixty thousand dollars,
you know, And those are some of the more egregious ones.
There were ones that were there was a couple in there.
I think there were over one hundred thousand dollars in
donations over one to two year period. So that's a
lot of money flowing into that into there. And the
Trumble administration, President Trump went and signed a memorandum it
said we're gonna we want to see this investigated. So
it's hinted it off to Pambondi, the US Attorney General,
to look into, right.
Speaker 1: And one other point is that it allows the Democrats
to celebrate in tout we have all of these small
dollar donations when in fact they're being made under like
straw donors. They those people aren't actually making the donations.
You can't even track it. Yeah, so there's that. There's
also in your piece, this is at this at your
sub stack more to the story. You then make a
connection with Democracy Green, all right, what is Democracy Green?
Speaker 2: Democracy Green was a sort of a green group that
received money under the Biden administration through the Inflation Reduction Act.
It was part of the Green Deal items that were
in there, and I think they got twenty million dollars
to do something with removal of lead pipes and homes,
and there was another function there. And the Washington freebee
Can actually looked into this a couple months back and
they found that this group based here in North Carolina.
Actually their their address on all their filings is where
in Fuquave Arena and was Southern Way County. And it
turns out it's just a double wide house on a
piece of property. This group has no background in doing
any of that kind of work. And in fact, one
of the women running, a woman named Wiggington. She her
she's the CEO for this thing, and she's also got
this very long resume of other organizations that she's involved with,
including multiple organizations that were doing get out the vote stuff.
Speaker 1: So well, that's my kind of adjacent to wetland restoration, right,
I mean, voter registration wetland restoration very similar.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly and you know, so I took a look
at them, like, wait, what does this have to do
with the other thing? And then I saw her. She
had done a bunch of different events where she was
talking about redistricting, including one with Wiley Nickel, yeah, running
for Enco Senate against Tom Tillis, and a couple of
other redistricting get out the vote things. Another one had,
you know, a current Supreme Court Associate Justice Alison Riggs
was the speaking the keynote person at this event, is
before she was actually on the Court, before she was
appointed to the Court of Appeals by Brod Cooper and
then again appointed up to the Supreme Court. So I
found that very interesting that this person who's involved with
the Democracy Green is also doing all these vote, get
out the vote things. So it begs the question where
did the money for this twenty million dollar project that
they have no experience in doing actually go.
Speaker 1: Yeah, twenty million for environmental and climate grants and the
grant was for wetland restoration and lead pipe removal from
Holmes and the Washington Free Beacon did the story that
found the group has no capabilities to fulfill the grant's purpose.
It also has shady finances and is cited as a grift, which, yeah,
that raises some red flegs. I did like whereas it.
According to her personal website, her name is Lea Misha
Whittington and she is the president and CEO of Democracy
Green Now. Her family members are also leaders of the group.
This Sanja Whittington co founder Robert Winnington junior co founder.
But on her personal website she describes herself as the
eco architect is a revolutionary environmental injustice disruptor on the
underground railroad of environmental liberation. I'm not sure, Like, if
you were playing the woke bingo game, I think you
would win. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2: That's why I grabbed that quote off over there, because
I thought to myself, well, that just packs it all
in in one sentence.
Speaker 1: It's impressive. It really is impressive. Now, I would also
point out she also listed her experience with Blueprint NC.
Blueprint Yes, Blueprint n c R old pals over at
Blueprint North Carolina.
Speaker 2: She was a point into a border commission too by
Governor Roy Cooper.
Speaker 1: Shocking. Yes, absolutely, commission. You also have a piece at
your substack about the librarian who wrote a letter to
state Representative Aaron Pare about House Built six point thirty six,
which is designed to, you know, let parents have a
say in whether or not the dirty books get to
be on the bookshelves in their you know, kindergartner's library
and such. And she makes this argument that because she
is an expert in the librarian science is or whatever
they call it, that she knows best, which I think
is probably news to parents. They were not aware of that.
I'm assuming well.
Speaker 2: You know, as I wrote in the article, but parents
are the experts on their own children, and therefore they
should have say about what's good or bad for their
child to be doing in the classroom. I don't think
a lot of folks understand just how bad some of
these books are. I've looked at a number of them,
and they are, in my opinion, pornographic and overtly sexual,
the kind of thing that you couldn't put on the
news and.
Speaker 1: You can't read at the school district board meetings.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you can't read them at school district bard meanings.
But yet we've got school boards defending them actually being
on the shelves. Now, you know, if parents want to
go buy this thing off of Amazon for themselves. That's great,
but it's not necessarily the most appropriate thing to be
in a public K twelve library.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's one of the things I've been on a
mission to try to get at least one of the
reporters up in to use the word curate instead of
book ban because the word is curate. That's what we're
describing here, is to curate the material, as all libraries do.
Speaker 2: Yes, but you know, we've got groups out there, like
the American Library Association who have outed these books and
actually given them awards, and the school boards or these
panels that are viewing these books are using that as
a shield to keep them on the shelves. You know, Oh,
it won this award or it was you know, approved
by the American Library Association. Yeah, well, Lottie does. The
leader of the American Library Association a year ago was
the overt socialist who basically said it was their mission
to go in and change my hearts and minds in libraries. Right,
So there's a problem.
Speaker 1: Track it back too, I did this last week. You
track it back to also the lack of American white
men who get published writing fiction for young men. They
there's like their blacklist did in the industry. So you've
got the whole funnel basically controlled by leftist woke and
so there's just their books aren't being they're not being written,
and they're not being published for the libraries to even
put on the shelves. It's crazy. So one other, one
other story you got real quick North State Journal Online.
The Wait County Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. You guys,
congratulations up at Wake County. You're now spending over a
million dollars for the DEI office. That's exciting stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you know all these DEI you know, pieces
of legislation and the Trump administration, you know, calling DEI
and education. That got to me thinking, well, you know
what about county offices? What about county level things? And
you know, Wake County is you know, a booming thee
High area actually from the Raleigh City Council all the
way to its border commissioners, and it's in its county
level offices. And I took a look at the Longhold. Yes,
they have a DEI office. Their website is down and
being revamped. I was being told like an access that
after I began my record's request, the fight suddenly went down,
but you know, iwayback machine everything, so it's on the
way back machine and you can see that they have
like four or five employees there and their salaries are
the bulk of the one point one seven million over
you know that million dollars for this current twenty twenty
five budget. That just kind of blew my mind. What
are these people being paid in two right?
Speaker 1: And are they going to now be running a foul
of federal law state laws that are trying to crack
down on this very kind of operation. We'll have to
leave its interesting though, Yeah, no, I agree absolutely. You
can read or work at nsjonline dot com. The headline
on that one is Wake County DEI Office spent nearly
one point two million dollars AP. Dylan, thanks for your time.

Charlotte Observer reporting the former now former chairman of the
Mecklinberg County Democrat Party, Drew Kromer, he is out. He
has been replaced. He had faced criticism and calls for
a resignation over a staffer's departure and allegations that the
party neglected African American voters. So Democrats tossed him out
and picked another white dude to run the party. On Saturday,
they picked their new chair Wesley Harris. Harris defeated Cromer
and Vilma Leak, a Mecklemberg County commissioner, black woman. They Yeah.
He beat Chromer and Leak with seventy six percent of
the vote and pledged to unite the party. The Democrat
Party picked Wesley Harris as chairman at their annual convention.
He will lead the party through the twenty twenty six
midterms as it looks to defend its dominance in local races,
improve Democratic margins in the General Assembly, and counter the
Trump administration sweeping policy shifts. Despite the record setting fundraising
that the previous chairman was able to realize, increased staffing
and publicity about efforts to get voters to the polls,
in twenty twenty four, voter turnout in Mecklimberg County heavy Democratic,
Mecklimer County once again trailed the rest of the state
as Democrats failed to flip the battleground state for Kamala Harris.
Days later, the county party's then executive director, Manifa Drayton
resigned with a letter that compared her experience to that
of quote professional black women during the Jim Crow era.
This yeah okay. Harris announced his campaign to challenge Cromer
in February. He sent an email to supporters saying that
his statewide race gave him a front row seat to
the dysfunction that has led our core voters to lose
trust in our ability to lead. I forget, what did
Harris run for? Yeah, forget it's it's in the article.
Someplace he lost that that statewide seat. It was a
Council of State race. It wasn't auditor treasurer. I think
he ran for treasurer. But so he says that gave
him a front row seat to the dysfunction in his
own party. There was a lot of disappointment on November fifth,
he said, But the thing that stung the most to me,
the one that was the most personal, was seeing Mecklenberg
County drop the ball yet again. Vill Maleak, a fixture
in local politics for decades, announced her own candidate see
at the convention. So she's just like, yeah, Ron, what
the heck? Harris ultimately got seventy six percent of the
votes precincts. Get here you go. This is my favorite
part of the article. Precincts get different numbers of votes
based on how many votes were cast for the Democratic
nominee for governor in each precinct in the last election,
according to state party rules. This is why I call
it the Democrat Party and not the Democratic Party. They
wait their votes. So if you are in a precinct
that has, you know, one hundred percent Democrat voters for
the governor, then you get a bigger share of votes
to cast for the chairman. Yeah, some, I guess some
Democrat voters are more equal than others. In his acceptance speech,
Harris called for or more civil debate within the party.
So there's going to be an intensive training and education
project on how exactly to be civil if you are
a Democrat debating. That's going to be a large enterprise.
Notice also that it's just how to be civil within
the party. See, you guys got to be able to
switch it off. You know, when you're arguing with Democrats,
you can't be calling them Nazis and fascists and bigots
and sexists and racists and all of that stuff. We
need you to reserve that solely for the Republicans that
you're debating, because that really works very well, in case
you haven't realized, it works really well, the ad hominem attacks.
It's a go to to win debates. Just call people
a bunch of names and then you win. That's what
I understand the tactic to be. Harris repres vent parts
of southern Mecklenburg from twenty nineteen through twenty twenty four
in the North Carolina House. He ran here it as
unsuccessfully for state treasurer. In twenty twenty four he lost
to the Republican Brad Briner by a margin of like
five points, so he will now be the head of
the Mecklenburg Democrats. Good luck to him. Here's a great idea.

it was the last hour, I played a clip of
Marco Rubio appearing on Meet the Press with Kristen Welker,
and I mentioned that she may have just been a
little off her game. That's why her questions were, you know,
unusually more stupid because she stayed up too late the
night before, probably at the White House Correspondence Association dinner
because she was one of the well, I don't know
if she was one of the MC's or what, but
she introduced Alex Thompson. Alex Thompson is a reporter for Axios,
and he was the recipient of a prestigious award that
also carries with it a monetary prize of twenty five
hundred dollars. And so she gave the following intro to
Alex for his award winning now work covering the Biden administration.
Speaker 3: The judges said Thompson's aggressive reporting on President Biden, especially
leading up to and after the Trump Biden debate, revealed
the president's cognitive decline was impacting his ability to do
his job. Information the White House tried to conceal Ladies
and gentlemen. The White House Correspondence Association is pleased to
give the Aldo Beckman Award to Alex Thompson.
Speaker 1: Have you ever heard of the word hutzba the audacity
you gave Alex Thompson an award for his aggressive reporting
on the cognitive decline of Joe Biden before the debate.
Please Alex Thompson then gets up there takes his award,
thanks a whole mess of people. And I feel the
need to point it out because I feel like it's
a little relevant here. But the aggressive reporting on Biden's
cognitive decline occurred after the debate, after when the coup
was launched.
Speaker 4: To my bones, I believe that reporting and the White
House Corresponds association is as necessary as ever. President Biden's
decline and it's cover up by the people around him
is a reminder that every White House, regardless of party,
is capable of deception.
Speaker 1: It the cover up wasn't just with the people around him.
So this is them saying, oh, look like we just
couldn't figure the story out because they covered it up
so well, please. We could tell we were making jokes
about it in Biden's first run in twenty twenty. Well,
I guess that would be a fourth run for president.
But we could tell then they had him locked in
the basement for COVID reasons and all of that. We
could tell he had he had issues, and it got
worse and worse and worse. I was talking about it regularly,
and I would I would constantly point out I'm not
attacking him. It's this is not something like if you
had ever had somebody in your family suffering from cognitive decline,
these types of dementia related issues. It is a very
difficult thing, and somebody needed to be there to say that,
and nobody in that White House Press Corps did.
Speaker 4: But being truth tellers also means telling the truth about ourselves.
We myself included, missed a lot of this story, and
some people trust us less because of it.
Speaker 1: Yes, right, Steven Miller, writer at The Spectator, says, the
only people who somehow missed the story just all happened
to be in the same room with Alex Thompson Saturday night.
Like all of those people were the only people that
couldn't see this was happening.
Speaker 4: We bear some responsibility, true, for faith in the media
being at such lows.
Speaker 1: Oh yes, yes, I bear some responsibility. Let's move on, now,
let's move on.
Speaker 4: I say this because acknowledging errors builds trust and being
defensive about them further erodes it. We should have done better.
I believe our mission is vital in a world where
people are struggling to figure out what's true and people
with power are not telling the truth.
Speaker 1: Right, So now that we've gotten past that part where
it's like, yeah, yeah, we had some roll in it.
I mean we were lied to, they covered it up,
they weren't truthful to us, and we bear some of
that responsibility. But now let's move on and really stick
it to the next administration, right, a renewed sense of purpose.
Let's really go after who's in the office now, Oh
it's Donald Trump. Well, I guess we're going to have to,
you know, just redouble our efforts here because it's our
new restated mission or something. Steven Miller pointed out, Yeah,
we noticed Biden's weird wandering off three years before his
AID suddenly started umbrella in him. That's when Axios reported it,
and the first Alex Thompson like they're they're pointing out,
where is it here? I've got a yeah, here's the
tweet that that is being held up by like his
colleagues in the Beltway media. That back in June eighteenth,
twenty twenty three. Okay, so this is like a year
before the debate, but still two and a half years
into the presidency. He says Biden's weird phrases are sometimes
weaponized by the GOP to insinuate the eighty year old
president is in mental decline. But Biden has been using
these unique phrases for years, even as some of his
aides remained confused by their meaning. This is the they
gave the award to. He's pointing out in June of
twenty three that the GOP is weaponizing Biden's malapropisms and
him biting his wife's hand while she's giving a speech,
remember that one. Yeah, that was all just brushed aside. Oh,
that's just Joe being Joe. Oh you know, he's just
a he's his uncle Joe. He's Oh, that's just his way. Yeah. No,
people were noticing it, and what God. Alex Thompson. The
praise from his colleagues was a story he wrote about
how they had to surround Joe Biden literally with people
when he would walk to the helicopter. Remember that we
covered it. The only reason you do that after you
put him in some new nikes or actually like some
morthodic shoes to help with his balance because he was
having gait problems. He was having issue walking and he
was shuffling and like he wasn't. Yeah, they would do
these like little trots out to the to the chopper
and stuff. But people started realizing, as he's walking, he's
looking worse and worse and worse. So they slapped new
shoes on him and then surrounded him with a bunch
of aids. Why to stop him from falling. Maybe probably though,
to stop the media from getting video of him. And
because they did that, oh well, we just can't possibly
tell that his gait has deteriorated. I don't know what. Gosh,
they were just so adept at at fooling all of
us intrepid reporters. You should quit your job then. If
you were that easily duped, then you should not be
doing the job that you are doing. All right, if
you're listening to this show, you know I try to
keep up with all sorts of current events, and I
know you do too. And you probably heard me say
get your news from multiples. Why well, because it's how
you detect media bias, which is why I've been so
impressed with ground News. It's an app and it's a
website and it combines news from around the world in

The Spectator. He posted yesterday. He said, I'll keep saying
it that until journalists, any journalist, explains why a Los
Angeles Times reporter's question made it onto a typed out
note card in the President's hand prior to her asking it. Literally,
none of this performative distancing matters, none of it, and
as of now, not a single one of these reporters
wants to answer it. It is the biggest scandal in
American politics in my view. You may disagree, other scandals bigger, worse, whatever,
but you have a president who is in cognitive decline.
They said they have put up all of these safeguards
around him to keep it hidden, even though they couldn't.
And the reporter class, the press Corps is now pretending
like they were deceived the whole time and had no idea.
These are the same people, by the way, who labeled
anybody on the right who was pointing this out. They
called it cheap fakes. The White House Press secretary called
the video of Joe Biden wandering around aimlessly, they called
it a cheap fake, and that was then regurgitated by
these very same reporters in the Press Corps. And now
they want to pretend that, okay, some mistakes were made,
we just couldn't see it. Forest for the trees whatever.
And now they want to let's turn the page on
that chapter and let's just, you know, focus on some
other stuff. I want to give credit to a guy
named Sam Fragoso. He apparently runs a podcast called Talk
Easy with Sam Fragoso, and he got Elizabeth Warren on
his podcast. I have no idea what this guy's politics are.
I assume they are of the left, because I doubt
she would go on this podcast if he wasn't. But
I don't know that, and it doesn't matter. What matters
is he actually asked her the questions and tried to
hold her more accountable for her lies than anybody in
that DC Press Corps. For all the awards they give themselves,
they don't do this. They're not asking that La Times
reporter how her question ended up in the President's hand
before she asked it. That's uncomfortable. That's awkward. That's almost
as awkward as a Bill Belichick interview on CBS. It's awkward.
They don't want to do it because they know the answer.
They know how it got there. There's only one way
it gets there. She gave it to them, They picked her,
she wrote it, She gave it to them, and then
they called on her and for her, her journalistic integrity
was worth the price of her standing up and getting
to ask the President that question. So kudos to Sam Fragoso.
And here's how it went. I highly urge you look
at the video clip. If you can find the video clip,
it's out there on the YouTube's because her facial expressions
during this exchange lay bare her lie.
Speaker 5: Do you regret saying that President Biden had a mental acuity.
He had a sharpness to him. You said that up
until July of last.
Speaker 6: Year, I said what I believed to be true.
Speaker 5: And you think he was as sharp as you.
Speaker 1: At this point, she does like this gag, shrug, kind
of a reaction, like like incredulous that you would even
compare the way I'm acting now to him. And then
she kind of catches herself because that's the lie. She
was telling everybody this. She was saying these things a
year ago.
Speaker 6: I said, I had not seen decline.
Speaker 1: At this point, he raises his eyebrows. Cox's head to
his side, to the side, and he's like really, like
he's given her this look like really, one eyebrow arched.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 1: You had not seen any decline, really, and I hadn't
at that point.
Speaker 5: You did not see any decline. From twenty twenty four
Joe Biden to twenty twenty one Joe Biden when.
Speaker 6: I said that, you know, the thing is heap. Look,
he was sharp, he was on his feet. I saw
him live event, I had meetings with him a couple
of times.
Speaker 5: Senator on his feet is not praise. He can speak
in sentences is not praise.
Speaker 6: Fair enough, fair enough.
Speaker 1: Look, he's exactly right, though you're not giving him a
compliment by saying, Wow, look at that, he didn't fall over.
That's amazing. Good for him. Ooh, he strung together words
in a coherent sentence. That's amazing for the leader of
the free world. Oh man, look how spry he is.
That's not a compliment. Kudos to Sam Frogoso.
Speaker 2: It is.
Speaker 6: The question is what are we going to do now?
Speaker 5: Okay?
Speaker 1: And that's it. Move on, move along. So we had
our moment, we had our accountability moment, and now what
do we do now? She said, I think people ask
about age. They've got every right. This was oh, hang on.
This was from a previous interview on a podcast called
Hassan Minhaj doesn't know came out in July, but it
was recorded in April. And that's what this guy Fragoso
was referring to. That Warren had said Biden was sharp
and that he quote knows what he's talking about. And
she said, you know, people have every right to ask
about the age, and voters can ask about anything they
want and make their decisions based on anything they want.
That's the deal, she said, quote, it's a sharpness and
a pointedness about what he is trying to accomplish. It's
like messaging. You can have other issues you want to
look at, but the heart of it is what does
he deliver and is he delivering? So, in other words,
all of your concerns about his cognitive decline are irrelevant
because some other people are running the show. Don't worry
about it. What is he delivering on it? And by
he I mean Jill Biden, sorry, doctor Biden, and Hunter
Biden and Jill's chief of staff and whoever was running
the auto pen right they're delivering. Shut up about it.
Look if he can beat Trump again and be you know,
out to lunch mentally, it doesn't matter who cares. What
matters is we got a bunch of leftist crazies surrounding Joe,
so people can't videotape him on the way to the helicopter.
But also then we can protect him, shield him, and
then we can also do all of this stuff that
you say you want, So just shut n't what the
cognitive stuff. That's what happened, and media is gonna they're
gonna just move right past it, all right. That'll do
it for this episode. Thank you so much for listening.
