Scott Walter Talks About Arabella with Tim Jones and Chris Arps

Scott Walter discusses Arabella on Tim Jones and Chris Arps Show


CRC’s Scott Walter recently appeared on The Brian Thomas Morning Show to talk about his latest book, Arabella: The Dark Money Network of Leftist Billionaires Secretly Transforming America.

The Arabella Network is organized with the for-profit consulting firm Arabella Advisors at the top, while underneath it exists half-a-dozen nonprofit entities that are managed by the firm. Below these 501(c)(3)s and 501(c)(4)s exist over 500 small projects acting as grassroots movements seeking to influence policymakers and the public that are controlled by the nonprofit groups. The network receives millions in donations from left-leaning billionaires such as Warren Buffett, George Soros, Mark Zuckerberg, and even lesser-known individuals like Swiss billionaire Hansjorg Wyss. Such donations can be passed between the projects and nonprofits within the network, being funneled towards pushing left-of-center policy advocacy in areas including criminal justice and election reform. During the 2020 election cycle alone, over $2 billion in dark money was funneled through the network, more than the RNC and DNC combined that year, with the network raking roughly $3 billion in the 2022 election cycle.
