Who Funds That? EP 23: The Prophets of the AI Apocalypse
4:14
4:37
Parker ThayerGUEST
And try and, you know, quantify how much human good, which I mean, how does that even quantify? Well, what they try by measuring things like pleasure and pain and et cetera, and not just human, they get into the animals as well.
Parker ThayerGUEST
And so we need to spend tens and tens of millions of dollars, even up to billions of dollars to alleviate their suffering and get everyone to go vegan.

Who Funds That?: Who Funds That? EP 20: How Charities Are Influencing Elections
1:53
2:03
Parker ThayerGUEST
And the purpose of these charities was to register to vote and to educate voters in exclusively these demographics and pretty much exclusively in swing states.
Parker ThayerGUEST
You might think that, you know, for example, some of the most heavily African-American states in the country, like Mississippi and Alabama and Louisiana, would be a big target for these organizations.

Who Funds That?: Who Funds That? EP14: The Foreign Funding Election Loophole
6:38
7:02
Parker ThayerGUEST
Uh, they are explicitly, uh, all of those filters, it's so clear that the purpose is to register or to avoid registering people who tend to vote for Republicans, uh, because those interests are all associated with people who tend to vote for Republicans.
Parker ThayerGUEST
Uh, any person, like a, a Russian oil oligarch could fund voter registration in Alaska, it...

Michael WatsonHOST
... consumer price of electricity, which I do not understand one bit, but that's just what I've read.
Parker ThayerGUEST
I, I think a, a big part of it has to do with the fact that you're, you know, if you have a local factory, a metal stamping factory or whatever, uh, their electrical grid consumption is largely, uh, going, uh, you know, if you have a bigger factory that'll be around the clock, but a lot of, uh, o- other businesses in your area that use electricity will be using electricity between the hours of, like, 7:00 AM and 5:00 PM.
Parker ThayerGUEST
They kind of are just going round the clock all the time, uh, and it g- provides a stable, uh, source of demand for electricity that, uh, obviously they're paying for the electricity, so, uh, it's kind of balancing out the, the peaks and the valleys of your electrical grid, which can, uh, reduce and, and it seems that it is reducing, uh, so far, uh, electricity prices in some places.
Parker ThayerGUEST
The, there are, that is why the left hates AI, though, is, is mostly they hate capitalism and they are still all in on the decarbonization cult, which they are only all in on, uh, might we add as, as the watermelon analogy goes, because they hate capitalism.
Parker ThayerGUEST
So, uh, that's, uh, essentially the, the AI is just the invisible hand of the market made into a thing that they can talk to and ask to generate pictures of puppies.

Who Funds That?: “Who Funds That?” EP5: Ohio’s Medicaid Millions

Parker ThayerGUEST
Uh, so, uh, we were working, I, I was working on another story on, uh, the private foundation that got hundreds of thousands in, in government grants.
Parker ThayerGUEST
And, um, you know, uh, when I was looking at the organization, I checked out their building.
Parker ThayerGUEST
When I checked out their building, I noticed that there were, uh, a couple other companies, uh, mostly non-profits, but a few, uh, for-profit, uh, you know, Medicaid billing, uh, what's called home health, which w- we'll get into what home health is in a second.
Parker ThayerGUEST
Um, but when I looked into the building, I found out there were all these home health companies.

Parker ThayerGUEST
Um, at the Capital Research Center, we, uh, investigate a lot of nonprofits and, uh, money flows in the world of politics and kinda just tell people, uh, you know, who is funding the groups that they see that are trying to ruin their lives.
Parker ThayerGUEST
Um, as part of that work, I was working on a story, a, a completely unrelated story about a, uh, federally funded nonprofit that had the sketchiest financial forms I'd ever seen, and it turned out that it was run by a member of the Somali Chamber of Commerce.
Parker ThayerGUEST
Uh, and that, you know, that investigation is its whole own thing, uh, about a organization called the Unix Foundation.
Parker ThayerGUEST
Um, but while I was doing that investigation, I noticed that there were an inor- an inordinate number of what are called home healthcare companies.
Parker ThayerGUEST
Uh, and this program essentially is supposed to pay, uh, people who are, you know, related to or, you know, caring for the destitute, uh, who are homebound in some way and, and, you know, take care of them.

... pulling out his checkbook and striking a check, and it actually getting to some scumbag throwing bricks at people?
Parker ThayerGUEST
Um, th- these are, uh, a, a lot of Ant- the thing about, uh, Antifa and the rioters, uh, rioting is cheap, folks.
Parker ThayerGUEST
Uh, you and 10 friends could accomplish what Antifa accomplishes with the contents of your garage, and you'd probably be better at it.
Parker ThayerGUEST
Um, Antifa is, i- is not cheap, and it's very dec- or it's not expensive, and it's very decentralized.
Parker ThayerGUEST
Um, so the organizations providing institutional cover and advice to these rioters, those are the ones that we could actually potentially get, uh, on violations of the law, uh, and, and conspiring, uh, with the rioters.

Parker ThayerGUEST
My, one of my colleagues recently, Ryan Mauro, has put out a report detailing $80 million that the Soros network has given to groups either directly advocating for terrorism or directly supporting terrorism, both in the US and abroad.
Parker ThayerGUEST
Uh, one of the trends I love, uh, that he noticed, uh, amidst all these groups, particularly the ones operating in the US, is, uh, they like to call it direct action.
Parker ThayerGUEST
We're, uh, giving out guides for direct action," which the action happens to be violence, which just because you call it direct action doesn't make it not terrorism, um, but they seem to think that's the case.
