For us at the Capital Research Center, Christmas comes in mid-November. Not because of election results or an inability to read the calendar, but because of the Internal Revenue Service's deadline for filing nonprofit tax returns after exhausting the automatic extensions. This means we get new insight into how the left-wing dark money networks that we track every mid-November, and no left-wing dark money network is more important than the Arabella Advisors network of nonprofit funding groups.

Here to discuss how the FBI got here and where it might go in the next administration is our colleague, Ken Braun.

Between 2023 and now, it feels like a whole decade’s worth of things happened. The nonprofit-industrial complex was torn apart by the elevation of Palestinian nationalism to the central focus of activist Everything Leftism.

As the incoming second Trump administration prepares to target government waste with the “Department of Government Efficiency” commission and activists hope that Trump's administration will root divisive left-wing racial ideologies out of government, Parents Defending Education has released a report relevant to both.

Joining us to discuss the findings is Michele Exner, senior advisor at Parents Defending Education.
