Every election cycle, a large swath of political activist groups on both sides of the aisle spring into action for their causes. But with midterm elections approaching and given the power of these organizations, many Americans might be wondering where the money funding these groups comes from.

John Bickley (2:04)

In this episode, we sit down with Caitlin Sutherland, Executive Director of Americans for Public Trust, to talk about what she calls the left's addiction to foreign dark money. I'm Daily Wire executive editor John Bickley with Georgia Howe. This is a weekend edition of Morning Wire.

A devout Orthodox Jew invited about a dozen friends to pray in his home, his city required him to get a permit, and then recruited his neighbors to spy on him. It may sound impossible, but it actually happened in University Heights, Ohio to a man named Daniel Grand. That's why Alliance Defending Freedom and Oreck, Harrington, and Sutcliffe are defending Daniel at the US Supreme Court. Alliance Defending Freedom never bills its clients, and right now your gift will be doubled by a matching grant while matching funds last. Go to joinadf.com/wire or text wire to 83848 to defend the freedom to pray at home. That's joinadf.com/wire or text wire to 83848

Georgia Howe (3:50)

Now, you recently had an article on the Daily Wire called Foreign Money is Pushing Leftist Causes. We Created a Tool to Expose It. That's a very compelling title. So first, what brought you to the conclusion that foreign money is having significant influence on American politics?

Caitlin Sutherland (4:08)

Well, our research has shown that foreign nationals, foreign charities and foreign governments are exploiting way too many loopholes on the local, state and federal level that allow their foreign money to flow into important political fights and electoral tools. And we made a tool to expose it.

That's the whole purpose of this brand new project. Follow foreignmoney.org is to really expose the foreign money coming into the United States. And then what nonprofit groups based in the United States are filling their coffers with foreign money to implement an activist liberal agenda.
