Is Foreign Cash Influencing Influencers?

Author: FOX News Radio August 26, 2026 Duration: 32:30
A sweeping crackdown on hidden foreign funding could soon force social media influencers to expose who is paying them to shape American politics following newly introduced House legislation. Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL)  joins to discuss the Foreign Agents Registration Act and how overseas adversaries manufacture political polarization, why her new bill has gained strong bipartisan support, and how the Department of Justice plans to enforce compliance. Prediction markets are booming, but new research is raising concerns about their potential impact on U.S. national security. More than 150 anonymous crypto wallets reportedly made millions betting on U.S. military actions, with investigators flagging an unusually high success rate. With classified information potentially being used to profit from these markets, experts warn the trades could also expose sensitive military operations to foreign actors in real time. Anti-Corruption Data Collective co-founder David Szakonyi speaks with FOX News' Lucas Tomlinson about how these bets could compromise troop safety, and what Washington can do to help. Plus, commentary by David Marcus, columnist for FOX News Digital. PHOTO CREDIT: ADOBE STOCK  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
