VOLLSTÄNDIGE ABSCHRIFT

0:01

Welcome back to Explain America. This is

0:03

your host, Kyle Becker. Do Democrats

0:05

respect the American people at all? It's

0:07

a burning question on the top of

0:09

people's minds, especially given all of

0:11

the fraud scandals involving top

0:13

Democrats that have come to light in

0:15

recent weeks. Now, we've talked about

0:17

Ilhan Omar and her problems with the

0:20

Somali fraud scandal. We've talked about

0:22

AOC and her campaign f finance problems.

0:25

But one of the big stories to come out

0:27

in the last few days has been involving

0:29

California Congressman Eric Swallwell.

0:32

Now Swallwell, as we know, we've been

0:34

following him uh for years now since

0:37

Axios broke the huge story that Fang

0:39

Fang and Eric Swallwell, while they had

0:42

some intimate relations and uh that may

0:45

have compromised him. though he lost his

0:48

position on the House Intelligence

0:50

Committee uh years ago and uh ever since

0:53

the Democrats have been trying to

0:54

rehabilitate his image as someone who is

0:58

essentially just misunderstood and he's

1:00

a swell guy. Well, according to social

1:02

media reports in the last few days that

1:06

have come to light, he is not a good

1:08

guy. And uh well, I'm going to leave it

1:11

to you to hunt that down on X where

1:13

there are women coming forward saying

1:15

that Eric Swallwell, well, he has some

1:17

inappropriate behavior issues. And of

1:19

course, those aren't verified. Those

1:20

need to be proven in a court of law. So,

1:23

uh we're not going to take that as an

1:24

absolute fact. But what we can say with

1:27

absolute certainty is that Eric

1:29

Swallwell on its face is guilty of

1:33

redirecting campaign funds back to him

1:35

and his family. This is an illicit fraud

1:37

scheme and we'll break it down soon. But

1:39

before we do, please like, share, and

1:40

comment at Explained America. Join us.

1:43

We appreciate your support for common

1:44

sense journalism. Now, what is it about

1:46

the modern Democratic Party that it is

1:48

very attractive indeed for grifters? It

1:51

could be that they flock together no

1:53

matter what. If any scandal hits the

1:55

headlines, they can be sure that the

1:57

lamestream media is going to run cover

1:59

for them because they aren't interested

2:01

in doing actual investigative journalism

2:03

if it involves a Democrat. Well,

2:06

unfortunately for them, there's a rise

2:07

of citizen journalism, and it's catching

2:09

on quite nicely on social media

2:12

platforms. So, there's no longer a

2:14

strangle hold on the news like it used

2:17

to be. The corporate media has its own

2:19

role in this ecosystem, but it is no

2:22

longer the only player in town. It's no

2:24

longer an echo chamber. And we can find

2:26

out a lot of interesting facts about our

2:28

politicians that the corporate media

2:30

would rather they not know about. So, we

2:34

have a report that's come to light, and

2:36

it looks fairly rock solid from my uh

2:39

estimation, and that is that Eric

2:40

Swallwell funneled $200,000 from his

2:43

campaign directly back to himself.

2:45

>> Eric Swallwell funneled $200,000 from

2:47

his campaign directly back to himself,

2:50

claiming he used the money on child

2:52

care. According to FEC filings from 2019

2:55

to 2025, this includes more than $22,000

2:59

in just the final three months of last

3:01

year. In addition, three payments

3:03

totaling over $6,000 were made out to

3:06

his wife, Brittney Swallwell, labeled as

3:09

quote unquote child care. Critics say

3:11

this is a deception as people do not

3:13

donate to campaign so the candidate can

3:15

spend that money on personal expenses,

3:18

essentially using their campaign funds

3:20

as a personal slush fund. Campaign

3:22

finance watchd dogs have slammed the

3:24

move, saying there's a privileged class

3:26

of politicians who exploit loopholes to

3:28

pay for their lifestyles with donor

3:30

cash. This isn't Swallwell's first

3:32

controversy with campaign spending. In

3:34

fact, his FEC records show that he used

3:37

campaign cash for nearly $22,000

3:41

on quote unquote event tickets to the

3:43

San Francisco 49ers in February of 2024,

3:46

labeled as fundraising. He was at the

3:49

Super Bowl where he also spent an

3:51

additional $100 in campaign cash on

3:53

stadium concessions. thousands more on

3:56

luxury items like limousine services,

3:58

high-end steakhouse dinners, and alcohol

4:01

deliveries, prompting a 2021 FEC

4:03

complaint from the American

4:04

Accountability Foundation, which accused

4:07

him of converting campaign funds into

4:10

personal use. Over $50,000 in total

4:13

event tickets to NFL games, including a

4:16

$1,560

4:18

dispersement for a 49ers Eagles matchup

4:21

in December of 2023.

4:24

Now, he claimed in part of these uh

4:28

finance funds that he was using the

4:30

money for child care. And if you go

4:33

through the FEC filings from 2019 to

4:35

2025, three of the payments total over

4:38

$6,000 and they were made out to his

4:41

wife Brittany Swallwell and they are

4:43

labeled as child care. Very interesting

4:48

indeed. And so this report comes on top

4:51

of other investigations into his alleged

4:54

corruption. And the FBI, as you might

4:57

know, has officially opened uh the

5:00

espionage case involving Swallwell.

5:02

That's the one that has to do with Fang

5:04

Fang and her alleged role in all of

5:06

this. And of course, we're waiting for

5:08

them to get to the bottom of that. And

5:10

not just that, to hold these Democrats

5:12

accountable. Eric Swellwell, of course,

5:15

he comes across as very sleazy and uh

5:18

he's certainly uh someone who pushes a

5:21

lot of lies. And the very interesting

5:23

footnote about all of this is that

5:25

Attorney General Pam Bondi, well, she's

5:27

no longer attorney general. She was

5:29

reshuffled inside the Department of

5:31

Justice to a lower position, right? And

5:34

uh she was apparently friends with

5:36

Suwell and tipped him off about this

5:38

investigation. I think that tells us

5:40

about everything we need to know about

5:42

Bam Bondi. Uh why she would be friends

5:44

with Eric Swwell or would tip him off

5:46

about an investigation is beyond me.

5:49

It's quite bewildering how these uh

5:52

uniarty creatures they uh act like it's

5:54

a giant club and their job is to fleece

5:56

us and to pull the wool over our eyes

5:58

and uh enough is enough. You know, the

6:00

foot dragging and the obstruction of

6:02

justice and uh the attempt to run out

6:05

the clock and gaslight us and all of

6:07

these other things. If someone is guilty

6:08

of breaking the law, they need to face

6:10

justice. And uh if this doesn't happen,

6:13

then we have zero confidence in our

6:14

institutions. So maybe that's the point

6:16

of it. It's hard to say at this

6:19

juncture. However, we would like to see

6:21

a few of these Democrats who are guilty

6:23

of violations that could be proven in a

6:25

court of law to actually get hammered.

6:29

Not just because they are guilty of the

6:31

law, but it will discourage others from

6:34

breaking the law and from being corrupt

6:36

actors. This is just common sense. I

6:38

mean, if you have a child and they go to

6:41

the oven and they're playing with it and

6:43

they're turning the fire on, uh, you

6:45

tell them no and, uh, you know, you tell

6:48

them no a number of times and they keep

6:50

going back and playing with fire and

6:51

eventually they're going to burn

6:52

themselves, right? So, this is common

6:55

sense and enough is enough with this.

6:57

Uh, human nature is what it is and we

7:00

have to deal with it sensibly and so

7:01

that means that lawb breakakers need to

7:03

be punished for their actions. Okay,

7:06

this is not unreasonable. This is a

7:08

standard of justice that has existed in

7:10

western civilization for centuries and

7:13

uh going away from it now over partisan

7:15

politics. Well, it's a suicide pact

7:17

because once law and order breaks down

7:19

this country, we're not going to have

7:20

anything to stabilize us and to have a

7:23

civil society. It will be an absolute

7:26

free-for-all. And I don't think any

7:28

sensible person should want that. So,

7:31

weigh in with your thoughts about this

7:32

story. We always appreciate hearing from

7:33

you at Explained America. Breaking just

7:36

a moment ago, Fox can now confirm that

7:38

California Democrat Congressman Eric

7:40

Swallwell has been criminally referred

7:43

to the Department of Justice accused of

7:46

mortgage fraud. Senior White House
