we just had to talk about it because our bosses told us to. Not one person. I've never heard anybody say that. Here's what I believe. I believe they believed every bit of it. I believe they were just fooled, and they don't want to say we were fooled. And I believe that they would say, given what information was available, we reported on it responsibly because the information that was available di…
← Previous segment →e know the CIA has overthrown a whole bunch of countries in the past. Whenever I hear about that I go, oh, that's terrible. When was that? Oh, that was 30 years ago. Yeah, I don't care. That was 30 years ago. I feel like this is just going to be one of those. 20 years from now we'll hear that the CIA tried to overthrow Putin and that's why the war happened. But it'll be like so much time goes by you go, ah, that's an old story.
Yeah, if you assassinate their leaders they'll start assassinating ours. But this is a hot war. If a missile fell on Prigozhin, it would just look like an act of war. It wouldn't look like assassinating anybody.
All right. The CIA overthrew our elections, somebody says. We'll never know.
All right. Well, that, ladies and gentlemen, is all that's happening on this slow news day. Was there a big story I missed? Anything big happening that I forgot to talk about? Got a spammer problem over here. All right, that's it.
To destroy people you destroy their history. Well, I don't know about that because our history is fake anyway. You think Obama stands apart? I don't understand that. Do you see Musk on nuclear? Yeah, Musk says we need more nuclear. Be more like France. You know, I feel like that's the most useful thing that Elon Musk adds to the world. Don't hurt my elephants. I understand that reference. It's a well-recognized truth. Yeah.
All right. Musk is useful because he weighs in on big questions with logic and facts, and he's too big to ignore. So if you and I say nuclear is good, let's have more of it, nobody cares. But if Musk says it, everybody listens. So I think he can actually... his opinion alone would be enough to move the needle. He says he doesn't care about losing money. You won't shut up on Twitter. Yeah, well, that's the right position to take. Yeah, unless he's going to go completely silent and play corporate CEO, which I don't think is going to happen. Yeah, I think he just has to put up with the risk.
Musk is the front man for the great reset, you say. Elon says Soros reminds him of Magneto. Did he actually say that? Soros is Magneto. Oh my God. If you're not familiar with the X-Men movies, you don't know how perfect that is. That might be the funniest thing he's ever said. Magneto. Oh my God, that is so funny. So Magneto was a character in the X-Men. So he was one of the mutants with powers over magnetizing things, and you can make any metal come toward him and stuff. And his backstory, Magneto's backstory, is that he was in World War II Jewish prison camp. Yeah, so he was Jewish and he was abused by the Nazis, his family was, and that informs his current worldview.
Yeah, how did I not see that tweet? I saw it trending. I saw Magneto trending and I was going to click on it and I got distracted. So I know it trended but I didn't know where it came from.
Foreign had three reasonable hypotheses about Soros. So that was based on this thread today. You got three, but all three of them are unpersuasive. It's weird that we don't have it from Soros himself. Attention seeking. That doesn't explain it. So what are the three? See, the he's just evil thing doesn't give you anything to work with. I don't know. Well, we'll see when he passes away. We'll see if the Soros, let's say, method continues because we're going to find out how much Soros has to do with any of it. It might be it doesn't have a lot to do with it.
Yeah, and if he passes and nothing changes, then I think we're gonna have to say it wasn't necessarily all him. Is Soros happy with what immigration has done so far? So here's my problem, is that I believe that Soros thinks people should be free to go wherever they want to work and live, right? Is that basic to his philosophy? You should be able to go wherever you want, and that would be for the benefit of people. That would be very, very pro-people because people could have more freedom, go where they want. But I don't think you could get to that through massive illegal immigration because if you want immigration to look like a good thing, you don't get to the good thing by going through the worst possible thing that you could do, which is massive uncontrolled immigration. So that doesn't make sense to me that that's some kind of a scheme to get to a good world of... you know, anyway, he's a collectivist, redistribute wealth. I don't believe that.
Yeah. All right. Well, in my opinion all the different opinions about Soros prove we don't know what's going on. And I don't like to simplify it to evil. I won't disagree with you that the outcome is evil, but it doesn't give you anything to work with to fix it. Whatever it is, we should stop it. Yeah, I think we're all on that page.
How do you prove any motivation? Well, you don't. But you could ask somebody their motivation and check it against what you know about the person and the situation. And if it's all compatible, that's a pretty good indication. But you can't read minds, right? So if Soros said, for example, here's my plan, this is why I'm doing

it, this is why I think it'll work, you could agree or disagree, but you'd have something to work with. All right. The conspiracy is real. A Soros goal is to take over America. Do you really think George Soros personally wants to take over America? I think all he cares about is eating his oatmeal and going back to bed. I mean, he's already gone for practical purposes. I don't think he's... I just…
