Added: 2026-05-26

[00:00:00]The Southern Poverty Law Center >> [snorts] >> in a massive, sweeping indictment has been charged with allegations of fraud and using the banking system to perpetrate that fraud. I just want to talk about a couple of brief things here.

[00:00:14]The Southern Poverty Law Center themselves advertise to raise money to dismantle violent extremist groups for a period of at least a decade.

[00:00:24]They use their donor network to raise money to purportedly dismantle violent extremist groups.

[00:00:30]However, the SPLC, the Southern Poverty Law Center, used the money they raised from their donor network to actually pay the leadership of these very groups.

[00:00:41]I just want to say that again. They used the fraudulently raised money by lying to their donor network, thousands of Americans, to go ahead and actually pay the leadership of these supposed violent extremist groups.

[00:00:55]>> [snorts] >> The groups, as the general laid out, include the Ku Klux Klan, the United Klans of America, Unite to Right, National Alliance, the National Socialist Movement, the Aryan Nation Motorcycle Club, and the National Socialist Party of America, and also the American Front.

[00:01:15]In at least one of these matters, our investigation revealed that funds were used to facilitate the commission of further state and federal offenses totaling over $3 million.

[00:01:29]Furthermore, our investigation revealed that the Southern Poverty Law Center, on top of perpetrating this widespread, decade-long, multi-million-dollar fraud, conducted more criminal activity.
