  SPEAKER_01: First off, I'm so glad my brother Robbie Yeager is back.
• 0:15
  SPEAKER_01: On May 28th,
• 0:16
  he publishes this analysis because he has this CA target bot so
• 0:21
  that when there are
• 0:22
  SPEAKER_01: new filings,
• 0:23
  SPEAKER_01: he gets an alert immediately.
• 0:26
  SPEAKER_01: He's tracking when there are new expenditures filed with the FEC,
• 0:30
  SPEAKER_01: when there are new donations to certain candidates.
• 0:34
  SPEAKER_01: There's all kinds of stuff happening.

  Thomas Massey

  SPEAKER_01: Kentucky 4th PAC.

  SPEAKER_01: Robbie is chasing dark money.
• 0:48
  SPEAKER_01: And where is that money coming from?
• 0:50
  SPEAKER_01: Now you're talking here almost $40,000
• 0:54

  Massey Pack Or Against Massey In The Name Of Gallerain Okay Now
• 1:44
  They Drop $300,000
• 1:46
  SPEAKER_01: In California 40 Nobody Knows Who They Are
• 1:51
  Alright now on top of that I want to showcase and I'm honored
• 1:55
  because he actually
• 1:56
  shared it with me he gave me a little sneak preview of it
• 1:59
  because he said you know
• 2:01
  INN's been super supportive of him in his coming back and
• 2:05
  everything sharing all
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_01: his articles and tweets and everything
• 2:09
  He put together this article It's 15,000 words I'm not going to
• 2:13
  read it tonight I'm
• 2:15
  SPEAKER_01: going to link it for everyone so that you guys can read it Or go to
• 2:19
  jaeger.substack.com He put together this thing about the Clark
• 2:24
  Fork Group A Decade
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_01: of Dark Money And this is a massive investigation I'm like,
• 2:31
  alright Give me the TLDR Take me down to the bottom And let me
• 2:36
  read the last couple
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_01: of paragraphs
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_01: The organizations changed names.
• 3:01
  The committees change names The political battles have changed
• 3:05
  And the states even
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_01: change The infrastructure has endured The people even change
• 3:11
  Whether viewed through the lens of Government Integrity Fund in
• 3:15
  2012 or the America
• 3:17
  SPEAKER_01: Works Fund in 2026,
• 3:19
  SPEAKER_01: the same underlying reality emerges.
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_01: Money enters the system.
• 3:24
  SPEAKER_01: Organizations fund one another.
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_01: Political committees spend the money.
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_01: New entities replace old ones.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_01: The cycle repeats.
• 3:33
  It's another boiler room setup,
• 3:36
  which emerged out of the Citizens United ruling.
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_01: Unlimited corporate money.
• 3:41
  SPEAKER_01: But in order to be able to do this well,
• 3:44
  SPEAKER_01: people can't know where that money is actually coming from.
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_01: So new names they don't know, it's a lot easier to shield.
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_01: The full scope of the network may never be known.
• 3:58
  SPEAKER_01: Non-profits are not required to publicly disclose their donors.
• 4:02
  SPEAKER_01: Many of the organizations discussed will likely continue evolving.
• 4:07
  Others will simply disappear and be replaced by entities that
• 4:09
  don't even yet exist.
• 4:12
  SPEAKER_01: Future election cycles will produce new committees,
• 4:14
  SPEAKER_01: new political fights,
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_01: new financial relationships.
• 4:19
  SPEAKER_01: But after examining years of tax filings,
• 4:22
  SPEAKER_01: campaign finance disclosures,
• 4:25
  SPEAKER_01: business registrations,
• 4:27
  SPEAKER_01: watchdog complaints,
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_01: non-profit records,
• 4:30
  SPEAKER_01: one conclusion becomes difficult to escape.
• 4:33
  The story isn't about a single organization It's about the
• 4:37
  machinery behind them
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_01: The system And that machinery is still operating to this day
• 4:45
  and that's really what this whole thing exposes a current
• 4:49
  operating machine that
• 4:51
  it's literal political whack-a-mole because new ones pop up and
• 4:56
  old ones disappear
• 4:57
  new faces emerge and you've got to have your head on a swivel
• 5:00
  and pay attention to
• 5:01
  all of it and you're still not going to catch it all is what
• 5:04
  he's saying he spent
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_01: months on this investigation
• 5:08
  He also sent me a graphic that he loaded into one of these
• 5:13
  large learning models
• 5:15
  that breaks down who the players are and it really maps it out
• 5:19
  beautifully I'm not
• 5:20
  sure if he included it in the article if not reach out to me
• 5:23
  I'll send it to you
• 5:25
  SPEAKER_01: Okay next
• 5:28
  Oh there's a guy in chat that I wanted to showcase and that's
• 5:32
  I'm so proud of my
• 5:33
  friend Joe Blank the Reverend Joe Blank there he is golf clap
• 5:37
  okay he didn't know I
• 5:38
  was going to be doing this but Joe Blank wrote his first
• 5:42
  Substack article now
• 5:43
  He's written a couple of articles over at Buy Me A Coffee He
• 5:46
  has a Buy Me A Coffee
• 5:47
  where you can support him But he decided to jump on the Substack
• 5:50
  bandwagon Probably
• 5:51
  because I was beating him up enough Alright And he starts out
• 5:56
  by saying He's not a
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_01: great writer,
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_01: I disagree with him
• 5:59
  He gave it up a long time ago and he gets into his background
• 6:02
  of how he ended up
• 6:03
  where he is today but how he ended up chasing this Ukrainian
• 6:09
  Nazi collaborator
• 6:10
  smuggled into the US after World War II probably as part of
• 6:14
  Operation Paperclip
• 6:16
  have created racist enclaves in our country and develop
• 6:20
  influence over US politics
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_01: in the past 86 years
• 6:25
  It's a fascinating read I'm excited to read more from him This
• 6:29
  again is a long
• 6:30
  piece And It's a really good one I read through it with Reef
• 6:37
  Privately Can we
• 6:39
  introduce Robbie to Seven Seas Absolutely I think that's a
• 6:42
  great idea I could
• 6:44
  SPEAKER_01: probably try to make that happen
• 6:47
  Can't Believe We Got Robbie Receipts Out Of Retirement I Don't
• 6:50
  Know If I Got Him
• 6:50
  Out I Think The World Got Him Out Thankfully And I Was Just
• 6:55
  There To Pat Him On The
• 6:57
  Back And Throw My Arm Over And Be Like Dude Yeah Let's Do This
• 7:01
  We Never Forgot
• 7:02
  SPEAKER_01: About You We Appreciate You Man Anyway Joe Blank
• 7:06
  So Joe wrote this article about Nazi Town USA which is about a
• 7:09
  place in Wisconsin a
• 7:11
  small town in Wisconsin and some very disturbing recurring
• 7:15
  racist or Nazi incidents
• 7:18
  And then how that research has now expanded to reveal a 75-year
• 7:22
  partnership with
• 7:23
  SPEAKER_01: Ukrainian Nazi collaborators,
• 7:26
  SPEAKER_01: prominent American politicians,
• 7:28
  SPEAKER_01: the Democratic Party,
• 7:29
  and connections to billions in Ukraine aid that our government
• 7:34
  has passed,
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_01: of course,
• 7:35
  SPEAKER_01: just since 2022.
• 7:37
  SPEAKER_01: Really interesting stuff.
• 7:38
  I implore you to go read this article and you will end up
• 7:42
  smarter as a result.
• 7:44
  SPEAKER_01: Even though Joe would say that that's not true.
• 7:47
  SPEAKER_01: I think that he...
• 7:49
  He is So he breaks this down into segments Alright he has no
• 7:54
  connections to Russia
• 7:55
  or Ukraine He became curious since 2013 Just before Maidan And
• 8:01
  one day a couple
• 8:01
  years ago He stumbled across an article in the Wisconsin
• 8:04
  Examiner That started the
• 8:05
  whole affair Alright this is talking about the Ukrainian Youth
• 8:08
  Association Summer
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_01: Camp
• 8:12
  Joe also wrote an article at Buy Me a Coffee about a Ukrainian
• 8:16
  501c4 that is
• 8:19
  breaking the rules of what charitable organizations can support
• 8:24
  in raising money
• 8:25
  SPEAKER_01: and sending drone stuff over to fight Russia.
• 8:30
  You're not supposed to use charitable stuff for acts of war and
• 8:36
  for weapons of war.
• 8:38
  And he has this all in his article Go check that one out too
• 8:43
  Over at his Buy me a coffee
• 8:48
  it might even be the best way yeah that's the least of it yes I
• 8:52
  know that that's
• 8:53
  the least of it it's a massive investigation that I've tried to
• 8:56
  get several people
• 8:59
  to publish but I'm like dude the information's in your head so
• 9:04
  I would say that the
• 9:06
  best way to publish that is for you to do it or to sit with
• 9:10
  someone and have them
• 9:11
  extract it from you who's a better writer I don't know maybe
• 9:15
  we'll work on it
• 9:15
  SPEAKER_01: together
• 9:16
  SPEAKER_01: All right, but go check out Nazi Town USA at the blank pages.
• 9:20
  That's revjoeblank.substack.com Here it is in the chats for
• 9:25
  everyone who wants to
• 9:26
  SPEAKER_01: go check it out.
• 9:27
  But I will include it in the Substack that has all the links to
• 9:31
  everything that I've
• 9:31
  SPEAKER_01: showed here tonight.
• 9:33
  I always have believed in documenting everything that I show
• 9:36
  and putting links into
• 9:38
  SPEAKER_01: a Substack post.
• 9:39
  The one that actually announced this live stream and has all
• 9:42
  the links to the stream.
• 9:44
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 9:45
  SPEAKER_01: Finally,
• 9:47
  This one scared the shit out of me and this was an audible I
• 9:49
  made at the last
• 9:50
  minute This is about the inevitability of where AI takes us Two
• 10:00
  economists just
• 10:01
  SPEAKER_01: published mathematical proof that AI will destroy the economy Not,
• 10:06
  SPEAKER_01: might,
• 10:06
  SPEAKER_01: not,
• 10:07
  SPEAKER_01: could,
• 10:07
  SPEAKER_01: will,
• 10:08
  SPEAKER_01: if nothing changes
• 10:11
  here's what scares me the papers called the AI layoff trap
• 10:14
  published March 2nd of
• 10:15
  this year that means it's 90 days old already people have
• 10:19
  already read this and
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_01: either ignored it dismissed it or done nothing about it
• 10:26
  This is what's really scary because this is what's happening
• 10:28
  right now An economy
• 10:29
  SPEAKER_01: that produces everything and sells it to nobody Here's how you get there
• 10:55
  SPEAKER_01: A company fires 500 workers and replaces them with AI.
• 10:59
  SPEAKER_01: Their competitor fires 700 to keep up.
• 11:02
  SPEAKER_01: Another one fires 1000.
• 11:05
  Every company is behaving rationally because they're following
• 11:08
  the incentives
• 11:09
  correctly and every company is of course building a trap for
• 11:12
  itself because the
• 11:14
  SPEAKER_01: workers who were fired were also their customers.
• 11:17
  SPEAKER_01: Sadly this loop has no natural exit.
• 11:39
  SPEAKER_01: The researchers tested every proposed solution.
• 11:42
  SPEAKER_01: UBI,
• 11:43
  SPEAKER_01: capital income taxes,
• 11:45
  SPEAKER_01: worker equity participation,
• 11:47
  SPEAKER_01: upskilling programs,
• 11:49
  SPEAKER_01: corporate coordination agreements.
• 11:51
  SPEAKER_01: Every single one failed in the model.
• 11:55
  SPEAKER_01: The only intervention that worked at all,
• 11:58
  SPEAKER_01: a Pejuvian automation tax,
• 12:01
  SPEAKER_01: a per-task levy charged every time a company replaces a human with AI,
• 12:06
  forcing them to price in the demand they're destroying before
• 12:09
  they pull the
• 12:10
  SPEAKER_01: trigger.
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_00: There's just one problem.
• 12:13
  SPEAKER_01: No government has implemented this.
• 12:15
  SPEAKER_01: No major economy is seriously discussing it.
• 12:19
  And meanwhile the numbers are already tracking the curve
• 12:23
  100,000 tech workers laid
• 12:24
  off last year 92,000 more in the first months of this year Jack
• 12:29
  Dorsey firing half
• 12:30
  of Block's workforce and saying publicly that within the next
• 12:34
  year the majority of
• 12:35
  companies are going to reach the same conclusion Nobody's doing
• 12:39
  anything wrong,
• 12:40
  companies are following their incentives perfectly That's
• 12:43
  exactly the problem
• 12:45
  Rational Behavior At Scale Simultaneously With No Mechanism To
• 12:52
  Stop It These Two
• 12:54
  Economists Built The Math But The Math Leads To One Place It's
• 12:58
  Called The AI Layoff
• 13:00
  SPEAKER_01: Trap This Scares The Shit Out Of Me
• 13:06
  Because all of Wall Street that keeps cheering on when all
• 13:09
  these earnings keep
• 13:10
  SPEAKER_01: going up and up and up and up and up,
• 13:12
  SPEAKER_01: it's because they're all jerking each other off making deals,
• 13:15
  SPEAKER_01: $100 million,
• 13:16
  $100 billion deals to buy each other's chips to power stuff
• 13:20
  that doesn't really
• 13:21
  SPEAKER_01: exist.
• 13:22
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, this is literally capitalism at its best.
• 13:25
  SPEAKER_01: That's right, cookies.
• 13:27
  They're purposely trying to collapse the economy so they can
• 13:29
  force a digital currency.
• 13:31
  SPEAKER_01: Sure, that's part of it.
• 13:34
  SPEAKER_01: But
• 13:38
  You don't have anything to transact with digital currency if
• 13:42
  you crash the economy.
• 13:44
  SPEAKER_01: The farms are all out of business.
• 13:46
  The factories that produce things will not be in business
• 13:53
  because the companies
• 13:54
  SPEAKER_01: that make them will be bankrupt because they don't have customers.
• 13:59
  SPEAKER_01: Scary shit.
• 14:02
  SPEAKER_01: One final note in the
• 14:05
  And also tied into AI Is the drawing the line The AI line in
• 14:10
  the sand Where do you
• 14:12
  SPEAKER_01: draw the line?
• 14:13
  This was an IMA Independent Media Alliance For those who are
• 14:17
  not familiar The
• 14:19
  SPEAKER_01: Independent Media Alliance is like
• 14:21
  INN on steroids it's everything I kind of hoped INN would at
• 14:26
  one point be alright
• 14:28
  they've got dozens you know more than a dozen members all with
• 14:32
  major platforms that
• 14:34
  SPEAKER_01: all come together for these live streams
• 14:36
  SPEAKER_01: to have roundtable discussions about major topics.
• 14:40
  SPEAKER_01: And they're working on building out much more of an infrastructure.
• 14:43
  SPEAKER_01: And it's the best of the best of the best.
• 14:45
  SPEAKER_01: You're talking,
• 14:46
  SPEAKER_01: again,
• 14:46
  SPEAKER_01: T-Lab,
• 14:47
  SPEAKER_01: The Last American Vagabond,
• 14:48
  SPEAKER_01: and The Corporate Report,
• 14:49
  SPEAKER_01: and Whitney Webb.
• 14:51
  Kit Knightley from Off Guardian and Hakeem Anwar over at Take
• 14:58
  Back Our Tech and
• 15:00
  that's Hervoye from Geopolitics and Empire and Steve from AM
• 15:05
  Wake Up all these
• 15:05
  SPEAKER_01: people,
• 15:06
  SPEAKER_01: Jason Bermas,
• 15:07
  all these people and they all have different takes on it and
• 15:10
  they've all been doing
• 15:10
  SPEAKER_01: this a long time
• 15:12
  SPEAKER_01: So I encourage everyone,
• 15:13
  I'm about more than an hour into my watch of it Whitney was
• 15:21
  just leaving at that
• 15:22
  moment She did not have enough time to be able to stay until
• 15:25
  the end And then it
• 15:26
  SPEAKER_01: gets a little spicy at one point Bermas is like,
• 15:29
  SPEAKER_01: I'm using it to argue with this,
• 15:30
  SPEAKER_01: that,
• 15:30
  SPEAKER_01: and that And Whitney's like,
• 15:32
  SPEAKER_01: why are you even doing that?
• 15:33
  SPEAKER_01: You're helping them You realize you're helping them And Bermas is like,
• 15:36
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know man,
• 15:37
  I just get triggered It's really entertaining to watch It's
• 15:40
  something to see
• 15:42
  and I don't know how Ryan does it in coordinating 10 people on
• 15:45
  screen alright that
• 15:52
  to me I usually glaze over when I see a panel this big like
• 15:56
  Saturday Night Anarchy
• 15:57
  Greg I love you guys but I can't take it when there's that many
• 16:00
  people on screen
• 16:02
  because what happens is you end up sitting there for 40 minutes
• 16:04
  waiting for a
• 16:05
  SPEAKER_01: chance to talk and then you get 5 minutes maybe
• 16:09
  SPEAKER_01: If you don't get cut off and sometimes what you want to talk about,
• 16:13
  what you wanted to talk about a half an hour ago isn't even
• 16:15
  part of the discussion
• 16:16
  SPEAKER_01: anymore.
• 16:18
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, Burmese, now I'm all joked up.
• 16:19
  SPEAKER_01: Yep, that's right.
• 16:22
  SPEAKER_01: But yeah, go watch this.
• 16:23
  SPEAKER_01: It's ad-free at thecorbettreport.substack.com.
• 16:27
  Okay It's also on Ryan's Rumble Channel A couple other Rumble
• 16:32
  Channels Corbett's
• 16:33
  Rumble Channel It was considered a Solutions Watch Which is one
• 16:37
  of the topics that
• 16:38
  Corbett puts out He does one about Tech stuff I love the way
• 16:44
  Corbett operates It's
• 16:47
  SPEAKER_01: very systemic Um
• 16:51
  SPEAKER_01: Joe Blank, what's Joe saying?
• 16:55
  SPEAKER_01: Create a nothing product,
• 16:57
  SPEAKER_01: sell it,
• 16:57
  SPEAKER_01: and then sell the solution when it eventually fails That's right,
• 17:01
  SPEAKER_01: cookies Make money on both ends Hell,
• 17:05
  SPEAKER_01: they probably make a profit from the short sell too You know what,
• 17:07
  SPEAKER_01: I wouldn't be surprised at all
• 17:11
  Well thank you the humanist report that's Mike Figueredo oh my
• 17:14
  god I can't even
• 17:14
  remember the last time I saw that name but thank you Joe and
• 17:19
  David Dull oh my
• 17:20
  SPEAKER_01: goodness we got David Dull right
• 17:25
  That's the DNC apparatus That's the sheep herding operation
• 17:31
  Those fucking guys
• 17:33
  That's who we left behind And I wish them all the best In
• 17:39
  propagandizing the world
• 17:42
  Allegedly Corbett is very welcoming to newcomers and his chat
• 17:48
  unlike AM Wake Up is
• 17:49
  not a mosh pit it's a bunch of savages at AM Wake Up I'm
• 17:54
  warning anyone that goes
• 17:55
  over there and I'm there quite a bit but I don't know it's my
• 18:02
  peoples anyway
• 18:05
  So that was our quick lightning round We talked about Rob
• 18:08
  Yeager We talked about
• 18:09
  Joe Blank We talked about AI crashing the economy And the
• 18:13
  Independent Media
• 18:14
  SPEAKER_01: Alliance panel Then the only thing I have left to get to Is our GoFundMes
• 18:21
  Before we do that,
• 18:22
