NEW SHOCKING TPUSA AUDIT Shows CHARLIE WAS RIGHT!!

[00:00] All right, Jesse on fire. Welcome back.

[00:02] So, we are going to be looking at some

[00:04] uh some pretty crazy uh information

[00:07] about TPUSA again today. And like I

[00:09] listen, as a matter of fact, in this

[00:11] one, I am actually going to be defending

[00:13] them u to an extent because uh Danks

[00:16] dropped another video. His video is

[00:18] crazy. This dude is doing, if you're not

[00:21] following Danks, dude. Okay, this dude

[00:23] is doing research. I don't know where he

[00:26] finds all this stuff, like where he

[00:27] finds a time to do this. He's like

[00:28] digging into like all of their

[00:30] financials like all the way back and

[00:32] like he's finding all of these payments

[00:34] going to all of these different places

[00:36] where remember what I was saying early

[00:38] on where I was like look guys in any

[00:40] organization where you have a like a

[00:42] nonprofit or any kind of organization

[00:44] where people have control of large v you

[00:47] know batches of money and they're

[00:49] distributing those funds and you know

[00:52] especially in like a nonprofit they're

[00:54] going to hire contractors that they have

[00:56] sweetheart deals with or that they

[00:58] personally own. I mean, technically,

[01:00] it's like double dealing, but it's like

[01:01] I mean, it's easy to it's easy to sniff

[01:04] that behavior out because all you have

[01:05] to do is go, "What would I do?" You

[01:07] know, like in my case, it's like, "Uh,

[01:09] how are you figuring out, you know, that

[01:12] they would be, you know, on both sides

[01:13] of these deals?" I'm like, uh, if I was

[01:15] in charge of a hund00 million nonprofit

[01:17] and I need to hire someone to do X

[01:20] service and it's something I could put

[01:22] together very quickly, I'm going to put

[01:23] that company together and I'm going to

[01:24] hire myself to do it because that's

[01:27] America. I'm not sure if what I'm saying

[01:29] is illegal, but if it was, I wouldn't do

[01:31] it. If it was, I wouldn't do it. Let's

[01:33] just make that perfectly clear. I like

[01:35] legality,

[01:37] but uh, yeah, that's what I would do.

[01:38] And so, it's not shocking and it's

[01:41] certainly not hard to back into. And

[01:42] when you have Charlie saying things

[01:44] like, "We're going to do a Doge style

[01:45] audit." And you're all I wonder what uh

[01:47] I wonder what prompted him to say that.

[01:50] So, we're going to look into uh we're

[01:51] going to look at we're going to let him

[01:53] speak and and then we'll go into um like

[01:56] parts of what he said because I could

[01:58] provide some very uh interesting nuanced

[02:02] uh stuff on that. Also, there's also

[02:05] this video that someone sent me uh from

[02:07] Patriotic Housewife, and I'm [snorts]

[02:09] going to subscribe to her channel right

[02:10] now because I practice what I preach.

[02:12] Don't you guys? I know all of you guys

[02:14] preach. I subscribe to Jesse's channel.

[02:16] It's like, you better be practicing what

[02:17] you preach. I like all of Jesse's

[02:20] videos. Can you click like because that

[02:22] would be very helpful to me. Uh anyway,

[02:25] this is uh Look at See, I did it. I did

[02:28] it. Now, let's uh let's jump right into

[02:30] it. Now, oh, real quick before though we

[02:33] get into any of these stories, I wanted

[02:34] to show you something, okay? Because

[02:37] there is someone driving this type of

[02:40] content. What do I mean by that? Very

[02:43] simple. Someone is driving creators to

[02:48] go after TPUSA, go after Erica Kirk or

[02:51] whatever. And like, cuz I genuinely do

[02:54] my best not to fall into traps of like,

[02:56] okay, I'm just doing this be, you know,

[02:58] uh, because of views. I mean, don't get

[03:00] me wrong, if a certain topic is getting

[03:02] a lot of views, and of course, I'm going

[03:03] to do that, but I don't ever like make

[03:07] my opinion different based on that. I

[03:09] will fit within that paradigm as long as

[03:11] I am not compromising my own opinions.

[03:14] But very simply, I'm going to show you

[03:17] some metrics because all YouTubers are

[03:20] are incentivized by the same things,

[03:22] okay? Revenue and growth, right? So like

[03:25] subscriber base growth and revenue both

[03:28] of which are tied to views. Now every

[03:30] view is not the same. If you have a view

[03:33] from your regular audience I mean that's

[03:34] your core base. Very important. Very

[03:37] important. But in terms of growth you

[03:39] need to be shown to new people. Okay.

[03:41] The algorithm decides how many people

[03:43] are going to see your content. And I

[03:45] want to show you something that I find

[03:47] very interesting. Okay. you also get

[03:49] some interesting insight into um you

[03:51] know the financials of a YouTuber

[03:53] potentially depending on whether I leave

[03:54] it up. Okay, so like this is a video

[03:56] that I did yesterday. Okay, this is a

[03:59] video that is titled uh that's about a

[04:01] photo evidence that is still alive.

[04:05] Okay, so what normally drives reach uh

[04:09] in terms of how many new people are

[04:11] going to see your content are two

[04:13] metrics, watch time and clickthrough

[04:15] rate. Okay, 16.6% 6% click-through rate

[04:19] after more than a day is extremely high.

[04:23] Extremely high. And engagement 14

[04:26] minutes is two and a half almost three

[04:29] minutes longer than my normal. This

[04:32] video should be doing should be going

[04:34] ham. But as you saw at the beginning, my

[04:36] net subscribers is negative 49. And that

[04:40] tells me one thing. That means no one

[04:43] new is seeing this. No one. like not

[04:46] like no no one knew. And I'll show you

[04:48] how I can prove that to you. Look at

[04:50] that right there. Okay. Over here on the

[04:52] right, 98% of the viewers of this video

[04:57] are subscribed to my channel already. So

[04:59] like even if you're a person who watches

[05:01] my content every single day, if you're

[05:02] not subscribed, you didn't even get

[05:04] suggested this video. And and you know,

[05:06] because at 2.7%

[05:08] those are definitely subscribers who

[05:10] came to my channel and just looked like,

[05:12] "Oh, what did Jesse upload?" And they

[05:13] saw this. So no one zero new people who

[05:17] are not or actually not even new zero

[05:19] people who are not actively subscribed

[05:20] to my channel were suggested this video.

[05:22] None. Okay. So let's compare that to

[05:26] like something that we did on Erica

[05:28] Kirk. Perfect example. Okay. So over

[05:30] here Erica Kirk life insurance policy

[05:33] bombshell. Okay. So check this out.

[05:37] Okay. On this one,

[05:40] I gained 5700

[05:44] subscribers. 5700

[05:47] subscribers. The revenue is tracking

[05:50] like a day and a half behind, too.

[05:51] There's a lot more money coming from

[05:53] this video also. Okay. And look at the

[05:56] reach. 14% reach. Engagement 10.43.

[06:02] So both click-through rate and watch

[06:05] time are much much lower than the other

[06:09] one. And yet somehow when you go to

[06:11] audience,

[06:14] 68% of the people who saw this video are

[06:19] not subscribed to my channel. Okay? Now,

[06:22] I don't need to go through a million

[06:23] videos and prove this to you, but what

[06:24] I'm telling you is like this is very

[06:26] consistent. Very consistent. If I talk

[06:29] about TPUSA and it's in any way

[06:31] critical, okay, then I am going to get

[06:34] pushed by the algorithm. Okay, same

[06:36] thing with Erica Kirk. Do you think that

[06:39] that is coincidence and that if I talk

[06:41] about being alive, no one sees it?

[06:45] Absolutely no one.

[06:48] Cuz that's not coincidence. That is not

[06:50] how that works. All right, let's start

[06:52] right here uh with Patriotic Housewife's

[06:55] uh video. So, this is her showing uh

[06:58] something that she found in Erica Kirk's

[07:01] favorites on her Instagram that she

[07:04] clearly made. She meant to delete this

[07:07] and did not check this out.

[07:09] >> Going through your highlight section.

[07:11] Let's jump right in, y'all.

[07:16] So, this is a screen recording of me

[07:20] showing you guys Miss Erica Kirk's

[07:25] Instagram

[07:27] where she is talking about

[07:32] if you could call yourself, you know,

[07:34] five years from now and give yourself

[07:36] advice, what would you say? Don't try

[07:37] cocaine.

[07:40] Isn't that interesting? I'll go ahead

[07:42] and pull a still photo up for you guys

[07:44] in case, you know, we didn't really get

[07:45] a good look at this.

[07:48] So, let's go ahead and pull this up.

[07:52] Yikes. Dude,

[07:56] listen.

[07:57] I think the message is good, you know,

[08:00] like the message. Yeah, definitely don't

[08:02] try that substance, right? You

[08:05] definitely should not do that because

[08:07] it's bad for you. However,

[08:11] someone who wanted to use this as a

[08:13] weapon could point out that like I think

[08:15] the format of the question indicated

[08:17] that she's saying like, "Oh, if I could

[08:20] talk to myself 5 years ago on a 30

[08:22] secondond call, I would have said don't

[08:23] try blow." I think

[08:27] some people might interpret that as her

[08:30] saying, "Because I like it so much now

[08:32] and do it all the time." I don't know.

[08:34] You know, I don't know. I'm just saying

[08:36] like it's possible that that was how I

[08:38] would interpret it because why else

[08:40] would you tell your five you know you

[08:42] have you could tell yourself one thing

[08:44] in 30 seconds five years ago what's it

[08:46] going to be? It's like don't try, you

[08:47] know, don't try don't try yo. You're

[08:49] like

[08:51] why

[08:53] why would you need to tell yourself that

[08:54] if you haven't done it and are not

[08:57] actively doing it? Seems like that is

[08:59] what she's saying. Now look it I am no

[09:02] hypocrite. Okay guys, like obviously I

[09:05] am not inexperienced when it comes to

[09:06] putting foreign substances into my body

[09:08] that shouldn't be there. So I'm not

[09:09] throwing rocks at her about that.

[09:13] Never was my cup of tea personal. Hey,

[09:15] this was never my cup of tea. You know

[09:18] this, but nonetheless, I'm not going to

[09:20] pretend I've never done it, obviously.

[09:22] And uh listen,

[09:25] it's just because she is like America's

[09:28] trad.

[09:32] Yikes. You guys probably should have

[09:34] found that one because that's not a

[09:36] great look. All right, now let's move

[09:37] over to Danks because again, this is uh

[09:39] Dank's channel. He's like I ended up in

[09:42] touch with him because he reached out to

[09:44] me during like a live stream. That's how

[09:46] that's how I knew about his channel. And

[09:48] uh listen, I'm telling you right now,

[09:51] this dude is doing like I said in the

[09:54] pre he research is bananas. I it's very

[09:58] impressive. So I would highly encourage

[10:00] everybody to go follow Denk's channel

[10:02] and then watch this entirety.

[10:07] It's very very good. Um, but like I

[10:10] said, I actually do have certain things

[10:12] I'll push back on, but you know, there's

[10:14] a lot of like very obvious like, you

[10:18] know, double dealing here where it's

[10:19] like, "So, uh, who do you want to go

[10:21] with for our social media campaigns?"

[10:23] I'm like, "Uh, I don't know. What's my

[10:25] budget?" They're all, you know, 3

[10:26] million. I'm like, "3 million? Yeah, 3

[10:29] million." It's like, [clears throat]

[10:31] "Uh, how about you give me like two

[10:33] weeks and then I'll tell you who I'm

[10:35] going to spend it with two weeks later?"

[10:36] You know? Oh, Jesse on Fire's uh you

[10:39] know uh online marketing, you know,

[10:42] company. It's like I think I'm gonna go

[10:43] with these guys. Jesse on Fire, you

[10:45] know, I've heard really good things

[10:47] about them, so I'm going to go ahead and

[10:49] pay them the $3 million. You know,

[10:53] [gasps and laughter]

[10:53] it's hilarious, dude. But let's listen.

[10:55] >> $116,118.

[10:59] That's the total I can document from

[11:01] Turning Point USA's own tax filings.

[11:03] It's their numbers. It's their

[11:05] signatures.

[11:06] >> 19.6 6 million is the number you just

[11:07] said

[11:08] >> and it's all reported under penalty of

[11:10] perjury for the IRS. Before we go any

[11:12] further, let me tell you exactly who

[11:14] we're talking about. We're going to talk

[11:15] about Jake Hoffman. He's an Arizona

[11:17] state senator. He's been indicted as one

[11:19] of Arizona's fake electors for signing

[11:22] documents that claimed Donald Trump won

[11:24] the 2020 election when he never did.

[11:26] Trump pardoned him in November of 20.

[11:28] >> I didn't know that Jake Hoffman was uh

[11:31] one of the electors that they used.

[11:33] Honestly, I don't even know about the

[11:34] fake electors thing because I don't pay

[11:36] attention to stuff like that that

[11:38] closely because I'm not a political

[11:40] commentator. Um, but I will say I will

[11:44] say something here uh related to that. I

[11:48] absolutely in my bones 100% believe that

[11:53] Arizona was cooking those elections,

[11:55] especially the Carrie Lake one and also

[11:58] the big guy. I mean like there's so much

[12:02] so much shadiness in Arizona is

[12:04] ridiculous. The guy who's in charge of

[12:05] counting the votes all I he literally

[12:07] said I am dedicating my life to to to

[12:10] ruining you know Carrie Lake or

[12:12] whatever. It's like oh this seems

[12:13] totally okay for this guy to be in

[12:15] charge. Again I still have not looked

[12:18] into the the slate of electors thing

[12:20] because again I don't care. Uh but I

[12:22] didn't know Jay Hoffman was one of them.

[12:24] He's a state senator now

[12:25] >> 25. But the Arizona state case is still

[12:28] active. His company Rally Forge was

[12:30] permanently banned from Facebook in

[12:32] October of 2020. Facebook called it a

[12:34] domestic troll farm that he was running

[12:36] and was banned after that. Turning Point

[12:38] entities still paid him. Turning Point

[12:41] continued paying his companies over $7

[12:43] million. They just continued paying.

[12:46] They never stopped. A company banned for

[12:47] doing fraud essentially. Think about

[12:49] that. Tyler Boyer, the chief operator.

[12:51] >> Um, here's where I was like, so what I

[12:52] was gonna say about Jake Hoffman is

[12:54] like, so the thing about the troll farms

[12:58] and him getting banned on Facebook, in

[13:00] my opinion, actually bolsters his his

[13:04] defense of these allegations, right?

[13:07] Because I would be like, okay, yeah, so

[13:09] I was running a I was Yeah, I was I was

[13:11] running a troll farm. I was doing that.

[13:13] Is that illegal? No. Okay. Is it against

[13:17] the policies at Meta? Who cares? Who

[13:20] cares? Yeah, who cares? If they find

[13:22] out, they can ban me. They did in fact

[13:25] do that. But the reality is like running

[13:28] a troll farm costs money. And so if

[13:29] TPUSA is paying his companies in order

[13:31] to run a troll farm, then that to me is

[13:34] like, okay, well, at least it's a we

[13:36] know it's such a legit service that he

[13:38] got banned off Facebook. So it was

[13:40] clearly making a big impact for them to

[13:43] take action to ban him off of, you know,

[13:46] Meta and Facebook. So like when I hear

[13:48] that he's getting paid millions of

[13:50] dollars, I'm like, okay, I have I don't

[13:51] know. I have no insight into the like

[13:54] financial metrics related to running a

[13:56] business like that. So that to me would

[13:58] indicate that like a fair amount of if

[14:01] not all of uh his stuff is at least on

[14:05] the it could be argued that it's on the

[14:06] up and up, but that's not going to be

[14:09] the case for all of this at all.

[14:10] operating officer of Turning Point

[14:11] Action and one time in a news interview

[14:14] said that he had big balls describing

[14:15] himself as a person who basically knows

[14:18] and runs everything. He was also

[14:19] indicted with Jake Hoffman as a fake

[14:22] elector and pardoned again by Donald

[14:24] Trump. His disclosed compensation from

[14:26] Turning Point entities total over $1.4

[14:28] million. However, in 2021, he put

[14:31] $650,000

[14:33] worth of a down payment on a $ 1.95

[14:35] million home in Mesa, Arizona. But just

[14:37] back in 2011, he was losing condos due

[14:40] to foreclosure and he had his wages

[14:42] garnished. And look, I'm not claiming to

[14:44] be any saint. And there's lots of people

[14:46] with financial issues. But if you're

[14:48] working for a nonprofit, you're putting

[14:50] a $650,000 down payment and making

[14:53] millions of dollars. I think this needs

[14:55] to be explained. Uh, and here's one

[14:57] thing that I will say on that. I can't

[14:58] believe all of a sudden I'm uh I'm the

[15:01] defender of TPUSA. Not like, yeah,

[15:04] believe me, like we're going to get in

[15:05] the weeds. I I I'm just going to I'm

[15:07] going to call balls and strikes here is

[15:08] all right. A is 2011

[15:13] he he's having issues with like I'm sure

[15:16] I'm pretty sure he said 2011 to 2021.

[15:19] That's 10 years dude. That's 10 years.

[15:24] 10 years ago I had just filed chapter 7.

[15:28] Like literally like we just like like I

[15:31] had just filed chapter 7 because my uh

[15:34] the company that I had sold I had sold

[15:35] my company for eight and a half million

[15:37] dollars and only you know like a very

[15:40] well like the majority of that came in

[15:41] the form of stock and then that stock

[15:44] went to zero. So I ended up not

[15:45] realizing any of it. It's irrelevant.

[15:47] But the reason why I had to file

[15:48] bankruptcy is because in the old company

[15:51] that I had sold, I had taken out

[15:53] personally guaranteed loans of like

[15:55] almost a half a million dollars. And

[15:58] while the acquiring company was on

[16:01] technically responsible for paying those

[16:03] loans, like they bought the company,

[16:05] those are their debts now. Well, guess

[16:07] what? I personally guaranteed them. So,

[16:09] it's still on me when they didn't pay

[16:11] and they didn't pay. And that so my

[16:13] attorney basically was like, "Look, you

[16:14] you'll you'll be able to sue them and

[16:16] you'll win, but you most likely aren't

[16:19] going to connect and as it relates to

[16:20] the relationship between you and the

[16:21] lenders that that is on you." And I'm

[16:23] like, "A half a million dollars." Like,

[16:26] yeah. I mean, it was 480 or whatever.

[16:28] And I was like, and at the time I

[16:30] couldn't have I couldn't absorb it.

[16:32] There was just no way to do it. So, I

[16:33] had to file bankruptcy. And now 10 years

[16:36] later, I could drop 650. I could drop

[16:39] 650 on a house tomorrow.

[16:42] after I mean after paying off

[16:44] Gabrielle's student loans last year,

[16:46] 200,000 buying a [ __ ] rental property

[16:49] that I put that we put 100,000 down on

[16:51] that same week. So like that's not out

[16:55] like that's not that's that's not even

[16:58] like that you know 10 a 10year period is

[17:00] enormous. You can absolutely rebuild

[17:02] yourself financially in that amount of

[17:04] time. But the question is whether they

[17:08] did it on the up and up or not. Okay.

[17:10] the like the but the suspicion that

[17:12] someone couldn't have been in financial

[17:13] trouble 10 years ago and then have

[17:15] $650,000 in cash 10 years later is

[17:18] ludicrous. That's that's not that's

[17:19] that's not a gotcha. It's just about how

[17:21] he got the money. Stacy Sheridan. This

[17:24] is also a person we'll be discussing.

[17:25] She appears on the form 990 as a key

[17:28] employee raising money for Turning Point

[17:29] USA and she's on the payroll. She's has

[17:32] two companies connected to her,

[17:34] Cloverstone Ventures and Lion Rock

[17:36] Ventures. There's actually a third one

[17:38] but I can't fully disclose. So, we'll

[17:39] leave that out for this one. $5.3

[17:41] million was received in fundraising fees

[17:44] from TurningPoint USA to these entities,

[17:46] Cloverstone Ventures and Lion Rock

[17:49] Ventures. So, to be clear, this is who

[17:50] he's talking about, okay? He's talking

[17:52] about Stacy Sherin, and she serves in a

[17:54] role where she, as I understand it, is

[17:57] responsible for fundraising for TPUSA.

[17:59] Okay? She um she makes like I think she

[18:04] makes $180,000 salary, but then she also

[18:06] owns these other two companies and as

[18:10] much like I don't I I'm be totally

[18:13] straight with you guys. I don't

[18:15] understand how this is all supposed to

[18:18] work legally. What I know according to

[18:21] this video is that she has been her

[18:24] organizations that he just laid out has

[18:26] been getting checks cut to them by TPUSA

[18:30] every year for the last 5 years. I'm

[18:32] going to let him explain it, but that's

[18:33] that's the that's what he's talking

[18:34] about is she fundraises for TPUSA and

[18:37] then TPUSA is sending her millions of

[18:39] dollars, but not sending it to her,

[18:41] sending it to organizations that she

[18:43] owns for what? Like I don't know if

[18:45] you're allowed to do that, but like what

[18:48] you know if like if you're getting paid

[18:49] a commission on your fundraising, I'm

[18:51] pretty sure that that would go to you. I

[18:53] don't really I again I'll let him

[18:55] explain it. She's getting paid twice.

[18:57] Once as an employee, once through her

[18:59] companies. The American Red Cross spends

[19:01] 4% of its budget on fundraising. This is

[19:04] something else entirely because Red

[19:07] Cross is a multi-billion dollar company.

[19:10] And overseeing all of this at this time

[19:11] is Justin Olsen, the CFO or chief

[19:14] financial officer for TPUSA. And this

[19:17] guy is responsible for an $80 million

[19:19] budget. He's not a CPA. He's not an

[19:21] accountant. He got caught reading

[19:23] utility talking points word for word

[19:26] while he was supposed to be regulating

[19:28] that utility. That's who's watching

[19:29] their money. So that's who we're talking

[19:32] about now. So, the guy who does the

[19:35] oversight is not a certified CPA is what

[19:38] he's saying, which is absolutely

[19:39] hilarious. And keep in mind, every time

[19:42] that you think about this stuff that

[19:43] Charlie Kirk ordered a Doge style audit.

[19:46] Now, I am I want to be very clear about

[19:48] this. I am not implying that TPUSA had

[19:52] Charlie killed over these payments. I'm

[19:55] not saying that. And I'm really I'm like

[19:56] actually not even implying it.

[19:59] What I am saying is that it's very

[20:01] interesting that this is how these

[20:03] organizations actually work. It's

[20:04] because again, like I said, this is what

[20:06] I would do if it's not illegal. Of

[20:08] course, I would do this. Like, and so

[20:11] would you. I guarantee it. If you were

[20:13] in this role and you were working for

[20:14] TPUSA and you had a hund00 million going

[20:16] through it and you were in this upper

[20:17] echelon circle of people who control the

[20:19] funds and it's like, "Oh, okay. We're

[20:21] going to do whatever." It's like, and

[20:22] someone's like, "Okay, so how we

[20:23] actually do this is we create these

[20:24] external entities and we pay ourselves

[20:26] that way." And so like you know your uh

[20:28] compensation for I mean again she's not

[20:30] getting the money for nothing. You know

[20:32] what I mean? She's not getting the money

[20:32] for nothing. So whether it's some kind

[20:35] of uh kickback for for her raising funds

[20:38] or whatever like well why do you have to

[20:40] do it that way instead of just paying

[20:42] her openly like uh you know she's

[20:45] already on a salary. Why is there not

[20:47] like a commission? You know again I

[20:49] don't know why they structure it this

[20:51] way. I just think it's interesting

[20:52] specifically because I bet you that this

[20:54] is exactly how it works with every

[20:56] single one of these organizations that's

[20:58] in the political space. Politics is a

[21:00] cesspool of greed, legalized corruption,

[21:04] and all of that stuff. And it's like

[21:06] it's just fascinating if you understand

[21:08] kind of what he's talking about. We're

[21:10] not going to be able to get close to

[21:11] through his entire video today, but

[21:14] nonetheless,

[21:15] >> let me show you what the filings

[21:16] actually say. Let's go ahead and dive

[21:18] right into it. Subscribe, like, hit that

[21:20] notification bell for your

[21:21] >> and definitely go do that because this

[21:23] is Danks actually doing this research,

[21:24] >> boy. And let's run it. Now, if you watch

[21:26] my last two videos, you know something

[21:28] is definitely off here. This video is

[21:30] going to show you the full picture.

[21:32] Everything I'm about to show you or talk

[21:35] about comes from public filings, from

[21:38] their own tax filings.

[21:39] >> I think it's hilarious when guys like

[21:41] film like this or girls, whatever, where

[21:44] it's like it's such a different style.

[21:45] like with mine it's like setup set you

[21:48] know like uh eyele eye level camera and

[21:52] it's like this is like such a funny way

[21:54] to do it. It's like like guys like

[21:55] Destiny and them and it's like it's like

[21:57] they almost like they're all yo hold on

[22:00] this is not good enough yo. Yeah. So I'm

[22:04] down here. I'm doing it all the way down

[22:06] here for some reason and uh I am

[22:08] intentionally slouching in my chair.

[22:10] It's hilarious. I don't know why they

[22:11] all do that. It's like they they look

[22:14] like it's like they have to be like

[22:15] hunched over a uh a computer while they

[22:18] film, dude. Which is I don't know. I

[22:20] just think it's funny. I'm not a lawyer.

[22:22] I'm not an accountant. I'm not an

[22:24] auditor. I'm just a dude reading public

[22:26] documents and asking questions. So,

[22:29] let's ask some questions. Let's start

[22:31] with Jake Hoffman because actually his

[22:33] story tells you everything about how

[22:34] this network operates. In September of

[22:37] 2020, the Washington Post published an

[22:39] investigation into an Arizona marketing

[22:41] firm called Rally Forge LLC. Now, what

[22:45] they found was that Rally Forge had been

[22:47] paying teenagers, including minors, to

[22:50] create fake social media accounts and

[22:52] post proTrump content. These kids,

[22:54] >> oh my gosh,

[22:57] no way.

[22:59] Are are we all now finally finding out

[23:04] that these accounts that are on these

[23:07] social media platforms and just

[23:08] immediately all have the exact same

[23:11] opinion about things are not organic. Oh

[23:14] my gosh, my world view is shattered. I

[23:19] thought all these people that go on that

[23:21] are screaming at everyone on X were

[23:23] definitely legit. It's so funny because

[23:25] it's like so obvious when you're on

[23:26] social media, but it's just funny when

[23:29] you hear it's like, "Oh, no, they're

[23:30] really doing that." Like, it's like this

[23:32] is really happening. I I think that in

[23:35] 2026, I don't think you can do politics

[23:37] without doing that. I really don't. I

[23:39] don't think you can win because you're

[23:40] going to be up against people who are

[23:42] doing that. And you know, manufactured

[23:44] consent is not make believe. It's 100%

[23:47] real. The problem is that like you know

[23:49] when you used to talk about manufactured

[23:51] consent you're talking about like

[23:52] network news and and journalism uh you

[23:54] know like print media I mean and like

[23:57] now you have social media and

[23:58] manufactured consent you have to appear

[24:00] that you're the majority. That's the

[24:02] whole point. You have to make everyone

[24:04] believe that the majority thinks your

[24:06] thing so that the major the actual

[24:08] majority of people who are just plebes

[24:10] and don't think for themselves are like

[24:13] oh okay well this is what other people

[24:15] think. There must be something to it.

[24:16] I'm not going to use my I'm not going to

[24:19] use my brain and actually analyze this.

[24:20] I'm just going to assume that they've

[24:22] probably got it right. Also, it doesn't

[24:24] feel very good to go against the grain.

[24:25] And if the grain is going this way, I'm

[24:27] going that way. And then boom, you could

[24:29] convince the world that every that hey,

[24:31] that Dylan Mulaney is popular.

[24:34] [laughter] You know what I mean? Like if

[24:35] you if you do a good enough job, you

[24:37] could convince the world that Dylan

[24:38] Mulaney is a very very popular

[24:41] influencer that people really care

[24:43] about. and uh and then the corporate,

[24:45] you know, corporate no souls will

[24:47] immediately follow suit and start, you

[24:49] know, putting Dylan Mulvaney and all

[24:51] kinds of stuff when it was Chinese bots,

[24:54] the the Chinese version of this that is

[24:56] doing that on TikTok and convincing

[24:57] everybody that this is like a totally

[24:58] normal way of life. Then all of a

[25:00] sudden, because they did such a good

[25:01] job, you have an actual army of people

[25:04] now who are all, "What man, this is just

[25:06] who I am." You're all, "No, it's not.

[25:08] You actually are a sheep that wants to

[25:10] fit in." And they prayed on that and

[25:12] convinced you that this is how you fit

[25:14] in because you're dumb and you can't

[25:15] think for yourself.

[25:17] >> Would use fake names, AI generated

[25:19] profile pictures, and Bitmoji avatars.

[25:21] They pulled their post from a shared

[25:23] document and got bonuses based on how

[25:26] much engagement that was generated on

[25:28] each post. A month later, Facebook

[25:30] permanently banned Rally Forge from

[25:32] their platforms.

[25:33] >> This is Jake Forge's thing that we were

[25:35] talking about earlier. and they removed

[25:36] 200 Facebook accounts, 55 pages, and 76

[25:41] Instagram accounts connected to the

[25:42] operation. The fake accounts had made

[25:44] about $1 million in ad buys, and

[25:46] accumulated over 400,000 followers

[25:49] before they got caught. Facebook's head

[25:50] of security policy said the operation

[25:53] used thinly veiled personas and compared

[25:55] it to tactics by Russian actors to

[25:58] disrupt American elections. And yet

[26:00] >> they should compare it to the actions of

[26:03] every major state actor, every major

[26:07] political party, every major celebrity

[26:09] probably if they're smart. And uh

[26:12] listen, if I knew how to do it, me, you

[26:16] know, I'm just kidding. I wouldn't do

[26:18] that because I don't need to. I have no

[26:20] uh aspirations for running for office.

[26:23] Um, and my business is one of those

[26:26] things where like, yeah, I could create

[26:27] all the manufactured consent that I

[26:28] want, and if people go to my channel and

[26:30] they're like, I think he sucks, they're

[26:33] not going to watch it. So, my business

[26:35] is just like, hey, just be funny. and uh

[26:38] charismatic on camera and say the things

[26:40] that you think and uh you know say thank

[26:44] you by liking every video and

[26:45] subscribing to channels whose content

[26:47] that you use and then making sure

[26:49] everyone else that sees your video knows

[26:51] who they are because he clearly worked

[26:53] very hard on this. Yes, this stuff does

[26:56] actually happen. Multiple teenagers who

[26:58] were involved told the Washington Post

[27:00] that they were working for Turning Point

[27:02] USA and they had no idea who Rally Forge

[27:05] was. One of them had a link to TPUSA's

[27:07] website in his then Twitter profile

[27:10] until reporters started asking

[27:11] questions. Jake Hoffman was the

[27:13] president and CEO of Rally Forge. He

[27:16] lost his personal Facebook and his

[27:18] Twitter accounts as part of the

[27:19] enforcement action. Here's what I want

[27:21] you to understand. After Rally Forge got

[27:24] banned from Facebook and Twitter for

[27:26] running a troll farm, Turning Point

[27:28] entities just kept paying them. The

[27:30] filings show Rally Forge received over

[27:32] $3 million in total, including $1.8

[27:35] million after the Facebook ban. The

[27:38] money didn't stop when the company got

[27:40] caught. It just kept on flowing. Then 4

[27:42] months after the ban, a new company

[27:44] appeared, which is 110 LLC, formed in

[27:47] Delaware in February of 2021, registered

[27:50] to the very same UPS store mailbox as

[27:53] Rally Forge LL. So,

[27:56] here is the question that has been

[27:58] answered was when um when Hoffman said

[28:02] this is a 10-year-old company. Okay,

[28:05] this is what he meant because he had

[28:06] been doing the same type of business

[28:08] under under other names, which means 110

[28:12] LLC, the one that Wolves and Finance

[28:14] looked into, is very likely

[28:17] running that type of campaign now.

[28:20] They're doing things on social media

[28:21] where they're hiring, you know. I don't

[28:22] know. I mean, I don't know. I would

[28:23] assume that that's what they're doing. I

[28:26] would assume that's what they're doing

[28:27] because that would definitely explain

[28:28] why he went through such painful, you

[28:31] know, intentional efforts to make their

[28:34] website not very visible and not very

[28:37] findable because if you're running troll

[28:39] farms, you don't want people to know

[28:41] that that's what you're doing. You need

[28:42] a website to prove you're a real

[28:44] business, but you want to keep it on

[28:45] like, you know, you want to keep it on

[28:46] the down low. I don't think troll farms

[28:48] are illegal, unless I am uh very naive.

[28:53] But again, this is going to be the end

[28:54] of this video for today, but we're going

[28:56] to do more later. And you guys, I

[28:57] encourage you to go uh watch the rest of

[28:59] Dank's video because I will react to

[29:00] other parts of it later on. You guys are

[29:02] the best. Subscribe to the channel. Ring

[29:03] the bell. the
