#653 How come nobodys talkin about what's going on in Colorado (preview)
TODAY: In a liberal's wet dream, prominent conservative pundits are revealed to be on the payroll of actual Russian agents. We revisit some of their hits and wonder how we can secure a similar bag. PLUS: We look into one of the many hoaxes being pushed this election season: Venezuelan Drug Landlords. We listen to a viral Tik Tok about the supposed gang takeover and follow the thread to the actual story: Venezuelan refugees being exploited by an absentee Slumlord who hired a PR firm to spread this story.

The world is ending Ukraine is responsible Ukraine just it's incredible the evil in the world we allow to exist We know the number the number one problem with America right now is the Ukraine and and we're documenting it What's up, everybody?
You'll have to you'll have to wait for just a second for that to make sense.
Don't Put your gun put your guns away put your NATO funded guns away No, we're of course talking about the news that conservative commentators Tim Pool, Benny Johnson, Lauren Chen, Dave Rubin, all were getting like $100,000 of video by actual Russian agents.
Yeah, like directly.
Just fucking fucking crazy.
The media company founded by Lauren Chen, who's a Canadian reactionary psycho, formed this company called Tenet Media with her husband.
And helped literal Russian agents launder hundreds of that, not just launder hundreds of thousands, but like give hundreds of thousands of dollars in the form of like a four hundred four hundred thousand dollar month contracts with these conservative commentators on the stipulation that they release just a video, just release a video every every week.
Jeez.
Like it's it's it's just great.
Because like I remember when we first heard about like, you know, Russian involvement in anything, it was kind of like confusing.
And I didn't really know what was happening or where the money was getting exchanged.
But this one's like, no, here's a contract.
Do the videos.
Oh, I know you're I know you're putting out news content, quote unquote, news content.
Yeah.
Go ahead and just do that.
And it's like it's direct.
It's like the name on the check is Russian agent.
Yeah, the worst part about this whole thing is vindicating the liberals about Russia.
Yeah, they are.
They're never going to shut up about this.
Yeah, that's a big dub.
It's a big W for the for the liberals.
And I'm, you know, I'm going to give them their moment.
I'm going to let them enjoy this one.
But if you're like.
What?
Tim Pool?
Lauren Chen?
Benny Johnson?
What?
Being pro-Russia stooges?
That makes no sense.
Let me just play this little video for you guys.
This is Tim Pool hosting Timcast.com.
My favorite skater.
Yeah, Tony's favorite professional skater.
Professional skater.
This guy gets paid $100,000 a trick by Russia.
This is psychotic.
Ukraine is the enemy of this country.
Ukraine is our enemy being Ukraine is our enemy.
This is just a normal thing for it's just a coincidence that he got money from Russia.
This is like a totally normal conclusion an American citizen would arrive at.
Ukraine is the cause of my downfall personally.
It's the it's the biggest enemy we got right now and it's funny because like you know they've been they've been going on the you know and I I was like with it you know the whole like we're sending so much money over there yada yada yada um like I I get that aspect of it but they're doing it like because they are getting paid by the enemy they actually you know the people who are attacking Ukraine to do it is amazing.
Okay, so they have yet to like prove any quid pro quo situation going on.
Like, I think the argument is just that Tim Pool, Lauren Chen, Benny Johnson, Dave Rubin are such idiots who happen to have insane opinions That Russia was like, we'll give you money to just continue doing what you're doing.
Yeah.
You're doing great.
Now, there are instances of where I think they might've been cognizant.
They might've gotten a whiff of what kind of money they were actually getting as we go through the story here.
But it's just so fucking funny.
Listen, if I were getting $100,000 a video from Russia, I wouldn't say anything, but there would be signs.
This is psychotic.
Ukraine is the enemy of this country.
Ukraine is our enemy.
Just him getting indignantly mad and pounding his leg.
Pissed off Tim Pool's like one of my favorite characters.
It's so funny because it's like, it's so unbelievable.
Like this, I don't believe you're actually upset about anything.
You're clearly performing here and I love it.
Yeah, it looks like Ben Shapiro upset or whatever.
