Host Reed Galen is joined by Claire Atkin, Co-Founder of Check My Ads, an independent watchdog non-profit that's reshaping the digital ad-tech industry by cutting disinformation off from its lifeline…which is advertisements and money. They discuss the latest with the video platform Rumble and how a disturbing amount of toxic content/disinformation continues to be monetized (many times without the advertisers themselves knowing). Plus, thoughts on Dan Bongino, Alex Jones, and Russell Brand. To keep up with Check My Ads, be sure to check out CheckMyAds.org.
