ge them editorially? So there doesn't seem to be any evidence whatsoever that Tim Pool or Benny Johnson or Dave Rubin changed any of their opinions because of where their funding came from. There's no evidence of that, and I doubt it happened. But Lauren Chen, one of the owners with her husband I guess of Tenet Media, there are people reporting that she seemed to be creating some division among the conservative world. But I would note that there tends to be at the moment a huge amount of division in the pro-Trump side of the world, more than I've ever seen, maybe probably more than I've ever seen. And you have to ask yourself, did that happen on its own?

And then Putin was asked who he prefers in the American election. Well, let me give you some warmup to this. I saw a post yesterday from J. Black, who's just apparently a Democrat, and he uses this technique on his post. You've seen it before, where somebody really wants to emphasize how dumb you are. They'll put their sentence with a period after each word. You know what I mean? So if I said, you. Are. Not. Well. Informed. Not only would I be making a statement, but I'd really be calling you an idiot with all the periods. It's like, you are so dumb I have to speak slowly.

So J. Black did that. He wanted me to know how dumb I am and maybe some of you. So he said, and I'll quote, I'll say this slowly so MAGA can understand it. If. RFK. Wants. Your. Candidate. To. Be. Elected. Then. He. Shouldn't. Be. Elected. So the idea is that if Trump is supported by Putin, that should be enough. I mean, that should be enough by itself to tell you not to vote for Trump because of all that Putin support. I mean, that's obvious, isn't it? I mean, how much more obvious could it be? I'm going to say it with periods. It's. Period. Obvious. Period.

Well, a few hours after Jay said that, Putin endorsed Harris. So several million people danced on the living grave of J. Black for being the most obnoxious wrong person on the internet. Let me give you this advice. We're all wrong sometimes and we're all a little arrogant sometimes. Don't combine them. Don't be arrogant and exactly terribly wrong. You can do one or the other and probably get away with it. Just don't combine them. Don't combine them, Jay.

Anyway, so that happened. I saw Jessica Tarlov on The Five say that the influencers like Tim Pool were getting $400,000 per month from Russia. Now I have not looked into it, but I'm going to bet a very large amount of money that they did not get paid $400,000 a month apiece. Does anybody want to take the other side of that bet? I hate watching the news and thinking, okay, I don't even have to research that to know that's not true. No, it's not true that anybody paid them $400,000 a month, and especially not asking them to change their opinions whatsoever, which appears to be the case. No, I don't think so.

Conservatives are divided, and I think there's lots of forces from the outside that are d
