According to prosecutors, the two employees of RT, a Russian outlet formerly known as Russia Today, funneled $10 million to the U.S. media company, which then paid several popular right-wing influencers for their content — in one case $400,000 a month. Two of those influencers said they had no idea their work was being supported by Russia.
The comment by the guy in the video was that when you're a media hack living in Tennessee and suddenly you're offered $400K a month to make a few videos, you don't just think that's normal, and you DO know where the money's coming from.
