how do you raise billions and billions of dollars wind up in debt

to a guy or your opponent is a guy who spent I don't know

billions less than you did less than a billion less than a half a billion

won the election and had a surplus of money left over How does that happen And head of people on your staff who didn have anything before now are suddenly millionaires How does that happen Where that money going Where did it go Well surprisingly enough it not a Republican but a Democrat who was calling for an audit into the Kamala Harris campaign and rightfully so

Look, previous candidates for the Democrats have had to start at a disadvantage because Democrat campaigns before them spent so much money

that the DNC had to take a whole bunch of time and pay it back

And so their candidates started in the hole against their opponent. And a lot of times they lost

So if you're the Democrats, you want to put a stop to this. Why are people becoming overnight millionaires

How is that happening? What are they providing? Clearly, did they provide millions of dollars with the service

You lost. You lost. And the celebrities you paid off to endorse you

And you still lost. So what was it all for? or what happened to that money

Well, again, a leading Democrat wants to know, somebody who is deep in the DNC

So I want you to listen to this. And then let me know what you think in the comments And no one answered any questions about why millions of dollars were spent on stars started concerts celebrities

$2.5 million went to Oprah's production company. Oprah very well could have made an in-kind contribution

and covered the production costs and her employee's salary herself, but she decided to take payment from the campaign instead

And also we learned recently that $500,000 was given to Al Sharpton

just shortly before he interviewed Kamala Harris. So there's a lot of conflict of interest here

and we need a careful accounting and probably more granular than the FEC report would offer

So somebody needs to carefully explain why they decided to, for example

spend $900,000 on the sphere, because if we don't do that, how are voters and donors ever going to trust the Democratic Party again

Do you think on the flip side, a little over 100 days to mount a campaign

was a near impossible task. Would there have been criticism if the Harris campaign did not spend

did not leave everything on the table to spend every single dollar they have and then some

Isn it common for campaigns to end in debt Well when Obama ended in debt in 2012 it left the DNC in a terrible position because we had toagh climb out of debt And that took a while And that definitely even Hillary Clinton cited the 2012

Obama debt as a reason why she lost because initially her campaign was at a disadvantage

And also, there is no reason why consultants became overnight millionaires who they campaign

There was no justification for that. You know, these are everyday Americans, hardworking Americans

a lot of whom just gave $10 to $15. And that was all they could do

They pour their hearts into the campaign. They need, they deserve answers as to why these people became millionaires, multi-millionaires

Just bear in mind that all the advertising costs, hundreds of millions of dollars went to just four well-connected forms of four well-connected firms

That's it. You know, the whole thing was very insestuous. Friends took care of friends, but it's not about that

That campaign was supposed to be spent on battleground states, making the

economic case to Americans explaining bread and butter issues, explaining how she would bring

inflation down, not on lining the pockets of well-connected Democrats
