Host / other voice

George Soros has spent billions of dollars. He is the single most effective political giver, I think, in American history. Now, effective is not a compliment. He is effective in being unbelievably harmful.

Host / other voice

Soros DAs are the prosecution side of the Abolish the Police campaign. Look, Soros funded the Abolish the Police campaign too. If you want to destroy a society, I can think a few more effective ways to do it than eliminate law enforcement because the result is anarchy and chaos.

Host / other voice

the string of campaign donations and dollars that go into these George Soros groups, tied groups that are funded by him and some of these other left-wing lunatic billionaire donors who go out and help candidates like Ryan Mears get elected

Should we be outraged at him for not doing his job, for not keeping Virginians safe, for putting his thumb on this? Oh, forget about his thumb. He's jumping up and down like a sumo wrestler on the scale, trying to make sure that the scales of justice tilt in favor of people who are criminals in this country illegally non-citizens who continue to break our laws, our immigration laws, not to mention our violent felon laws against rape, sexual assault, and murder.

George Soros is very good at finding arbitrage opportunities. He's very good at finding where his money, his resources can be most effective, and he realized that state attorneys, a local DA races, typically a very low profile, low dollar affairs, and for a relatively modest investment, when we're talking about political donations, he could have an outsized influence on those races.

Host / other voice

we know that George Soros, and now his son's taking over the operation, we know that I can't stand the man, and it is bad for America, but one must marvel at how effectively he has carried out his agenda

Host / other voice

many of the organizations on the left here in Arizona that had been operating for several years, were heavily funded by out-of-state sources, so we were curious about the taxpayer element, and then just do an update. How extensive is this network in Arizona?

Host / other voice

It was a George Soros plot from 15 years ago. He started financing these DAs, these permissive DAs, sort of pushing back and trying to amplify any type of things to controversial cop situation would make them the end.

Host / other voice

I remember how many officials we've had on from mayors to police superintendents, and you've always hounded them on safety and the CTA. Safety and the CTA. What did you make of that story about that poor young woman burned alive? ... And one of the unpleasant things is the Tribune's Tribune Guild and all the leftist journalists in Chicago screaming that I had written a column, lawlessness grows in Democrat cities. And it was about Soros funding all these progressive prosecutors.

Host / other voice

George Soros did, the weak breaking points of American life, and it was district attorneys. And he realized for almost no money, in the grand scheme of political fundraising, he could take over criminal prosecutions all over the country.

Host / other voice

the names of the two agents who shot Alex Pretty have been doxed, and liberals hate their names. I'm not going to give out their names. They appear not to be, shall we say, Anglo-Saxon names.

that racist, anti-American communist who stole all of his billions of dollars, you know, George Soros jumped in to make sure that Steve Descano was elected to become the pro-crime.
