to me on LinkedIn and send me a message and what are the odds I would read your message? Almost a hundred percent. So what are the odds that I would read a message if you put it on Instagram? I only have about six thousand Instagram followers. I'd probably see everyone. What are the odds I would see a message if you sent it to me on the Patreon app? So I'm on Patreon. I collect funds to spread my…

I'm completely lost on that because it reads like a conspiracy theory to me which again does not mean it's a conspiracy theory because conspiracy theories and the real thing can look identical to us. We can't tell the difference most of the time. But why have we gone on so long? I'm pretty well informed. I'm fairly well informed. I would say I'm in the top at least 5% of well-informed Americans and that's without even trying really. I'm probably in the top 5% just because I pay attention to the news and I had never seen a good explanation of what Soros is up to that makes him the devil.

Yeah I know he did currency speculation. That was his job. That's all well documented. Read the Wall Street Journal article on Soros. I'll bet there is one. Without reading The Wall Street Journal article on Soros here's what I predict about it. I predict that if I read it there would be lots of information about Soros and when I was done I wouldn't know what to make of it. That's before I've read it. That's my prediction because that's what's happened every time I've read anything about him. I read it and I go well this is concerning and I can see why people would be concerned and then by the time I'm done I think nothing's been shown here in any persuasive way. It's just a whole bunch of things that should maybe almost concern us. So nobody's credible on this topic yet.

He stokes social unrest and then profits from chaos. Yes so somebody just said that his game is to fund social unrest and then place financial bets in which he can win based on that. That is ridiculous to me. That sounds so much like a conspiracy theory that I wouldn't even bother looking into it a little bit. It's too ridiculous on its surface that even if there was an article that purported to tell you about that idea I wouldn't even read it honestly. That would be too far beyond the believable. So I need something a little more solid than that.

He is funding most if not all of the lefty groups. Well okay. Do you know who else funds a lot of the lefty groups? Democrats. Is there some reason that he can't fund lefty groups?

Cory Booker. Let's talk about Cory Booker. Let's see. We can come back to me. So those are reported in the media that I consider very low credibility and there's a man who says that Cory Booker tried to grope him in a restroom or something. Now my interpretation of that claim is that it's very unlikely. But the context is, I think I'm back now, the context is that Cory Booker was on the team that was saying accusers in particular women should be believed. I think the audio is back now. I think your comments are behind the actual. So somebody tell me if you can hear me again because I believe that my audio is back.

So the accuser doesn't sound credible to me. Very much like the Kavanaugh multiple rape party accuser didn't really sound credible on the surface. Doesn't mean it's false but it just doesn't sound credible. So I think it's Cory Booker suffering from karma or suffering from a political attack but it probably has more to do with outing him. So one of my assumptions is it may not be so much that somebody is trying to take him down for this accusation because I doubt there's any corroborating

evidence. It doesn't sound credible to me. But I think it's probably a ploy to out him on his sexuality because it would make him look like a phony. So the thing that Cory Booker has to worry about in terms of his brand and the attackers is that he might be accused of being sort of a phony. And his Spartacus thing plays into that. It's like you're just pretending to be some kind of hero. You're k…
