I donated the same amount to both parties this year.
That was not generally known because despite citizens united
being literally the highest profile Supreme Court case of the decade.
And the thing everyone talks about when they talk about campaign finance for
some reason, in practice no one can possibly fathom the idea that someone
impact it's actually getting dark.
So I don't know all my republican donations were dark.
And the reason was not for
regulatory reason it's just reporters freaked out if you donate to republicans,
they're all super liberal and didn't want to have that fight.
So I made all the republican ones dark.
>> Samuel Bankman-Fried who's crypto platform crumbled and
who might be facing some serious issues considering the brokerage firm that
he founded was taking money from depositors of the crypto platform and
basically losing it [LAUGH] through their investments is saying,
no I actually didn't just donate money to Democrats.
I did donate a lot of money to Democratic candidates on the record, but
I also contributed a lot of money to Republicans as well.
I just did it through dark money contributions.
And so if what he's saying is true and to be quite honest,
I don't know what to believe with this guy.
He seems like a liar.
He seems like one of the most dishonest people on the planet.
But nonetheless that was from his interview with Tiffany Fong an independent
crypto journalist.
And the interview was recorded on November 16th and
then published two days later, he was speaking at an event.
And of course as always, he discloses way too much and he did so right there.
Now if he's telling the truth, okay, take a look at this list of the biggest
donors in the 2022 midterm cycle up until September of 2022, okay?
So if Samuel Bankman-Fried donated as much to Republicans as he did to
Democrats then he was the fourth biggest donor to Republicans.
Just think about that.
>> Yeah, so look, I love this story because this is a crime scene.
And it's like a CSI version of what happens in Washington ,and here's
the criminal himself explaining it.
And he explains every part of the scheme and
it matches what we've been telling you for the last 20 years here on TYT.
He says you give to both Republicans and
Democrats that way you neuter both of them.
And in fact in an earlier exchange that he had with a Box reporter
when he had the Box reporter asked is it for PR reasons,
he said yeah just PR after regulators.
He was pretending that he was giving money to Democrats because he
wanted regulation of FTX.
Of course he didn't want regulation of FTX cuz he was taking all the customer
money and now a million people are owed money, a million, okay?
He took their money and then he gambled with it for himself.
And why was he allowed to do that until he lost it all,
because he'd all ready paid off the Republicans and the Democrats.
And here he is explaining the crime to you guys.
And then he says, now look this is important Citizens United happen,
everybody knows how bad it is theoretically, but
nobody ever talks about the dark money as if it doesn't exist but it does exist.
>> I mean he's right about that.
>> Exactly now, why does nobody ever talked about,
we talked about it all the time.
It's because mainstream media never talks about it.
>> Cuz they're corporate owned.
And where does the money go?
In these midterms that Samuel Bankman-Fried apparently gave $80 million
Republicans, Democrats in 40 each.
It went almost all to TV and the media $17 billion in total
these elections went straight to mainstream media.
So mainstream media of course didn't tell you where
the money is coming from cuz it's coming from crooks like Samuel Bankman-Fried.
They're part of the crime.
And he says, you give to the Democrats to get good PR and
then give to the Republicans because you want the Republicans and
Remocrats to both cheat on your behalf and make sure they protect you.
Okay in a sense, the democrats and the republicans are the mob and
you're paying them protection money, let me rob all these people.
Let me rob these million people.
He owes $3 billion right now, okay?
Let me take billions off of them and then you give me protection and
Nancy Pelosi and mitch McConnell go yes.
And of course, what is it press to?
Before he was caught Samuel Bankman-Fried an American hero,
giving all this money to Democrats to fight back against fascism [LAUGH].
And we're like, wait, why is he giving only to corporate Democrats?
And he's giving against all the progressives in the primaries.
Because the progressives are the only ones who would have actually regulated him.
That's why he spent millions against Nina Turner, who's now one of our hosts.
And he was in that race and
he gave Chantelle Brown all that money through packs.
>> That's right.
And Chantal what did you promise him?
Now everybody in Washington thinks that's a red line.
Are you saying Chantelle Brown is corrupt?
[CROSSTALK] Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying.
She was so happy to receive that pac money on her behalf because she said yeah,
of course I won't regulate you.
Of course, of course, what do you think they paid all those democrats
millions of dollars for, for charity, no, for corruption.
And he just told you.
>> And on Chantelle Brown, I mean, would she be a darling of
the establishment Democratic Party if she weren't corrupt?
I mean think about it, I mean, there's a reason why the establishment Democrats
were so vicious toward Nina Turner in both times, she ran both times.
>> And I want to be clear about that.
So when Nina ran Chantelle Brown was nobody,
there's like 12 people running as Turner nobody knew.
And the Democratic leadership came in and said,
okay, who raise your hand if you are going to take tons and tons of pac money?
Sean Brown was like me, me, me, me, me, me, I'll do anything, I'll do anything for
pac money, no good, we're picking her.
They picked her out of a goddamn hat.
The total utter nobody.
And they loaded her up with millions and millions of dollars of
Samuel Bankman-Fried's money, Israeli lobby money.
And that's just the fact Democratic majority for Israel bragged about
how they how we took out another progressive, who did we give the money to?
Chantelle Brown, who cares, any corrupt democrat would have done?
She's just a filler, right?
But it's not about her, it's about all of the Democrats that take the money.
All those guys that took money from guys like Chantelle Brown are crooks.
And the press never tells you that
