Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the Tutor Dixon Podcast. I'm excited today because
I've heard all of these different rumors about George Soros's
life and now I have an expert here with me.
So I know that's probably not the guy you want
to talk about, but because he's the guy that's on
the other side, I feel like.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
It's good to know about him. So Matt Palumbo is
here with me.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
He is the content manager for the Bonjina Report and
the author of The Man Behind the Curtain Inside the
Secret Network of George Soros.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Matt, welcome, Well, thanks so much for having me on.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
So I'm really his life has always fascinated me because
I've heard all these stories and I need to know
if they're true, because I heard that when he was
just fourteen he was kind of taken in by an
SS officer or someone who is connected to the Nazi
regime and then was actually involved in the taking of
property from Jewish people. But I know that there's been disputes.
(00:56):
You're the expert. What exactly is his childhood story, right.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
So you're referring to and actually a lot of people
have seen a sixty minutes interview about this where he
was talking about his upbringing and during the German occupation
of Hungary, he was assigned to one of these so
called Jewish councils, and what they were were groups of
Jewish people that Nazis would have, you know, organized together,
and they would be in charge of basically deporting, rounding up,
(01:23):
and confiscating from their fellow Jews. And many of the
people who joined these councils were under this delusion that
they would be exempt from it, exempt from the Holocaust,
exempt from the Nazis oppression. So Soros was one of
the people who worked for them. And you know, while
someone could try to make the argument that while he
was coerced to do it, it was for his own life,
(01:43):
Soros's father, Tivodar hopefully I'm pronouncing that right, wrote in
an autobiography and he actually talks about this incident and
said that he thought his son seemed to enjoy the
work to some extent. And Soros was interviewed by sixty
minutes about this, and the interviewer did try to give
him the out of well, you know, certainly you did
this at gunpoint, and Soro's very coldly reply is like
(02:05):
almost in financial terms of well, if I hadn't to
do it, someone else wasn't going to do it anyway.
And you know, it was asking if it's something that
kept him up at night, and he said no. Now,
the other thing you were referencing was him being undertaken
or taken under the wing of a Nazi officer. There
was a person his father put him in touch with
to basically conceal his Jewish identity and then later help
(02:29):
him flee Hungary. And this man is basically credited with
saving a young George Soros his life. And you know
one thing that just tells you about Soro's character is
this man, throughout his entire life was never publicly identified
by George Soros or Thanks there was never any recognition
of this one guy when I was a kid saved me.
Thank God. It was some guy I think at the
(02:50):
Daily Nail figured out who he was after his death
and that he was the figure who saved sorrows. So
he got no recognition for that from George whatsoever. And
these are just stories early on in his life to
tell you exactly the kind of person he is and
nothing has changed since then.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Well, I think that's the you know, that's the part
where people go, gosh, she was a kid, and I
have a fourteen year old, and I think about my
fourteen year old now going through this. There is something
that tells me though that there would be that internal regret,
and I think that what you pointed out there where
he's like, you know, if I hadn't done it, somebody
else would have done it. It just seems very inhumane
(03:27):
to think that way when you you know what was
happening and what you were involved in. And so he
was kind of on that other side. But that also
is a strange upbringing regardless. You know, obviously everybody who
lived through that time there was massive trauma. There are
lots of scars, and a lot of times trauma leads
(03:48):
to a lot of dysfunction in life. And so George
Uros has kind of been a puppet master of sorts
in the political world. So how did he go from
that to becoming this multi billionaire?
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Right? So he ended up studying the London School of
Economics for college. He went there for all his degrees
through a pH d, and then he ended up coming
to America and his initial goal was he'd make a
million dollars and then go back to Europe. Unfortunately, that's
this isn't what happened. And since then he became unfortunately, Yeah,
he became one of the most successful investors of all time.
(04:23):
In fact, if you go by it's something like one
million dollars invested with him would be worth two billion today.
Now granted this is you know, from like the fifties
or or the sixties onwards, so you would have had
to hold for quite a while. But you know, there's
only one other investor, a guy named Ray Dahlio who
runs aheadshown called Bridgewater Associates, that has ever produced higher
percent returns than Soros. And you know that alone itself
(04:47):
should leave people a bit skeptical of how is it
even possible? And he's had a number of insider trading
scandals over the years. He very famously broke the pound,
the English pound and other currencies. And he he developed
this theory and finance called reflexivity, which is just a
fancy way of saying that there are self fulfilling prophecies
in finance. If he can hop into a trend that
(05:09):
people think is going to happen, the trend will then happen.
And at some point in his career he realized this
actually applies to the media as well, and that the
media has this effect of being kind of a national
horse blinders on the American public and that they can
really only see through whatever the media tells them. And
you know, until there was alternate media, that's really the
only chance choice they had, so you know what they want. Correct.
(05:33):
So if you know, if you want to push a
narrative that America is horrible and racist, you only focus
on stories of that angle, and then it becomes true
and then people themselves.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Another thing that he would have learned in Nazi Germany.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Correct, Yeah, so they actually more part of the Nazi
Germany thing. It was even more bizarre that he didn't
have any cognizance of the optics of what he was saying,
and that even though you are someone who legitimately doesn't
care about what you did, you think you'd not atend
and go, oh my god, it was the worst thing
I had to do my whole life. I've been trying
to repent for it by doing blah blah blah. And
(06:06):
she didn't even have that thought. He was just yet happened,
you know, Oh.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Yeah, And I think that that is why some of
his I guess political investments have been so disturbing. But
as you're saying this, as you're telling me this about
the other investments, I'm like, Okay, well is he that
Could it be that he is this involved in the
political world because there is insider trading. Has he made
his fortune by that connection and then increased that connection.
(06:35):
I mean, it's kind of like a chicken or egg thing.
What was it his political connections that got him the
big money and then he puts the money back in
and gets more political connections.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Well, so there is actually this myth among like I guess,
center left business people, that Soros was responsible for helping
transition a lot of post Soviet countries to capitalism. And
what that really means is when a lot of these
countries broke up, you had all of these state owned
assets and there's the question of well, who gets them
and in most of the cases just a select few
(07:06):
of oligarchs that get assigned those assets and make billions
of dollars overnight. And Soros, through his political connections, was
able to because of his control, you know, over certain people,
and I'm sure you through bribes and all that, was
able to buy up a lot of these state owned
assets for pennies on the dollar and make all this
money for himself, so that him benefiting from corruption was
(07:26):
sort of spun as. Oh, he was helping these countries
go capitalists. If they were going socialist and he could
have made money, he would have done it too. But
you know, he was I guess smart enough on the
optics of that. It's been in this favor.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
So ultimately he doesn't leave the United States. He stays here,
and he decides that he is going to play in
politics and influence modern day US politics, and so he
has been increasingly involved. I think that in the last
ten years we've probably heard more and more about George Soros.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
And what he's been doing.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Now he's played in I would say, what Republicans saw
as non traditional politics, and they weren't really in those spaces.
And so those prosecutors, those das, and suddenly we started
to see this uptick of crime in the US and
it was all of a sudden, this connection like, oh,
wait a minute, He's getting all these soft on crime
das elected and prosecutors elected, and now we have a
(08:23):
big crime problem. But what is the endgame there?
Speaker 2 (08:25):
I don't get it.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
That's the thing that even I struggled the answer. But
you kind of have to just assume it's chaos, you know.
Like I think there's a tendency among conservatives to at
least historically, I think it's shifting for the better, that
they kind of view liberals as people who were just
misguided and would agree with us if they knew better.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
I think it's like this is Pollyann of you. I mean,
if we could just tell them, they they would agree.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Those are that's a case. That's the case of the
das and explain violent crimes have a very they're very
reliable statistics because if someone gets murdered, it's getting reported.
But if you're in an area where there's no point
in reporting a theft, paradoxically, those areas see a decline
in theft on paper because no one's reporting them. And
there was a single month in San Francisco where Target
(09:12):
and the local and the San Franisco Police Department had
a system where Target could effectively report one hundred percent
of shoplisting incidents. Now they end up dropping the system
to police still didn't respond to them. But there was
a single month where one hundred percent of incidents at
the three target locations in San Francisco were actually reported,
and just from those three locations, the theft rate in
(09:35):
the entire city doubled for that month.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
So that's and there is it didn't really double. That's
the sad thing.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Yeah, that's the end. There's tens of thousands. I mean,
the thing is close to one hundred thousand small businesses
in San Francisco, so you can just extrapolate from that
what is the real crime rate, and it is it's
like an upside down world where you will be seeing
homes that are worth millions of dollars, You'll be seeing
all these nice cars, and then there are war thing
is about theft as if you're in an extremely low
(10:03):
income area and you know, these are kind of places
where people might pay a premium to avoid that, and
yet that's right on your doorstep.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Well, and that's why we've seen so many people suddenly
frustrated in these communities, and yet they continue to vote
for this. But I think that that is the combination
of what you were talking about earlier, his influence in
the media, his understanding of propaganda, and I'm telling you
it's become so extreme because it doesn't matter if it's true.
I mean, even in Michigan, they spliced my words together
(10:34):
and made me say things that I didn't say in commercials.
And afterward they openly asked Gretchen Whimer, do you did
you know that these were not the things she said?
And she was fine with it. She said, yeah, we
knew that, but we won.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
So they are.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Manipulating the minds of the people, fully manipulating the Not
reporting crime is also a manipulation if you think about that,
because you keep seeing Biden come out and say, oh,
we've got the lowest crime ever.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Well you also have let's go back to California. You
have this.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
We're not going to put you in jail if you
or arrest you if you steal under nine hundred dollars,
and therefore that's not recorded as crimes either. So as
you let these people out, as you don't charge them,
when they go back out on the streets.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
There's no record that they did what they did.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
And so even though we feel the crime, we know
it's more it's more unsafe. When we got outside, there's
more criminals on the street, there's more problems.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
We don't know. We don't have those numbers because they
aren't recorded.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Yeah, and that's actually what you described as a problem
with the whole philosophy of second chances, and that it's
impossible to enforce because if I go out robistore on
San Francisco, if I somehow get arrested, which is unlikely,
and the judge says, you know what, you messed up,
We'll give you a second chance. If I go do
that again and get arrested, I don't have a criminal record,
So if I get a different judge, they're going to say, oh, well,
(11:58):
you know you messed up, ones you get a second chance.
And in theory, you could have an infinite number of
second chances by that kind of policy. And you know,
the years this common thread with these DA's where criminals
are somehow the real victims. And you know, there's there's
never a single person on the planet who's treated as
if they could just be a person who's morally loose,
who wants to feed the steal. It has to be well,
(12:19):
they're discriminated against by society in some reason. They will
speak about crime as if you know, one more after
school program being solved, we just have prevented all of this,
and crime exists everywhere in the world, and there are
European countries where the income rates are you know, one
tenth of that of the US, and their crime rates
are you know, ninety percent lower, like you know Albeania
(12:42):
and Romania.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Well, it's like in DC, they just literally came out,
what was it, It was like, I.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Think it was the district attorney. I'm not sure.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
They came out and said, we're not going to arrest
ourselves out of this carjacking wave.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
It's like, but yes, you can. Yeah, that's exactly how
you do it.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Yeah, you know El Salvador is the best example of that.
And you know, they had the advantage of their country
where for some reason, their gang members tattoo exactly what
gang they're part of, so it was very easy to
arrest them. But they at one point had a murder
rate of like one hundred and fifty people for ever
or one hundred fifty murders for one hundred thousand people,
which it was the highest in the world at the time,
(13:20):
and for reference, that was five times higher than Chicago's. Well,
they arrested almost every gang member in their country, and
their murder rate is now seventy five percent lower than ours.
So they went for being five times Chicago to basically
as safe as Vermont or Maine or a state like that,
or a Midwestern state in a single you know, in
less than a decade, and they arrested themselves out of
(13:42):
the problem. So yeah, it seems to work.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on
a Tutor Dixon podcast. You hear people talk.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
About why they're running for office, right, but I mean,
as you listen to these presidential candidates, it should be
a given that one reason we have government is to
keep you safe.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
That public safety should be a top priority.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
And not only does that matter in your town or
on the border or nationally, Like these are things that
you kind of come to expect from the United States.
And I think it's been slowly eroding, like I said,
over the past ten years.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Who started being like, oh wow, wait wait.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
George Soros's name is on a lot of these lists
of donor lists, and a lot of these people that
got elected that are not arresting people are connected to that.
One other thing. I mean, I think that your comment
on chaos is interesting. I think chaos is a way
to fully take down a country and there's only one
way to really take down the United States, and that
(14:41):
would be to create chaos to the point where the
country is so unstable that then someone else can roll in.
And so you have to wonder, well, what is his
endgame here? And he's now moved on and he's retired
and supposedly he's handing the baton to his son, and
everybody's like, oh, maybe this is an option in the
Sun's like, no, I'm going to be.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Even more political. I'm going to be more involved.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
But we're watching this from the standpoint of secretaries of state,
and I just want to bring this up quickly because
we watched Katie Hobbs, she was secretary of state. She
was a George Soro's candidate in Michigan. Jocelyn Benson a
secretary of state George Soro's candidate. They are all, as
Justlyn Benson would say, they're all coordinating. And the leftist
(15:24):
media is like, of course you're coordinating. You have to
make sure that you protect everyone from these election people.
You know, we've got to save democracy. But I think
it is kind of interesting, as you talk about chaos
to see these folks who are doing crazy things, like
even Gretchen Whitmer in the state of Michigan is now
giving people five hundred dollars to take an illegal immigrant
(15:45):
into their home and and she'll pay the rent for
ten years or for twelve months if you take someone
into your home. I mean bringing these people into our state.
That to me is causing chaos. And again, someone who
took money from George Soros, but the secretaries of State,
Katie Hobbs ran her own election for governor. Jocelyn Benson
(16:07):
has always also come out and said she's going to
run for governor. So again she will run her own
election for governor. They get into the secretary of State positions,
they kind of change the rules around elections and they
leave people on the voter list, they don't clean things up,
and then suddenly they're running.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
For the highest the highest elected seat in the state.
Doesn't that seem a little fishy?
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (16:31):
And Soros actually started a project in the early two
thousands called the Secretary of State Project, and the whole
point was to stop the and prevent a kind of,
you know, the whole recount situation that happened with George W.
Bush where he you know, you know, marginally sweeked out
the victory in Florida, So he did that for the
express purpose of presidential elections, and as we know, he's
(16:54):
increasingly gone local. So yeah, it makes perfect sense that
he would do that. And one of the things you
kind of of noticed in studying these people is yes,
they are all connected. I mean, even within the Biden administration,
there are a dozen or so people that have at
least been connected with Soros and that they've worked for
a Soros funded group, have served on the board of
a source group near Tandent and ron Klain, you know,
(17:15):
in some capacity, or on the board of the Center
for American Progress, which is Soros linked. Our Secretary of State,
Anthony Blincoln, his parents are major donors Soros's endeavors, and
in fact, at Central European University, which is started by
George Soros, they have a digital archive of you know,
various books and the archive is named after Anthony Blincoln's parents.
(17:37):
And one of the first things he did after taking
off is was he sanctioned one of his biggest critics
in Albania, who is the first democratically elected president in
the country, and Soros tried to sway him and failed
and I guess got revenge two or three decades later
from that. He now can't enter the US. So a
very petty guy, I guess. But he has an enormous
(17:58):
amount of influence in all these people. The influence is
are connected to some degree.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
But I meann't just going back to being a fourteen
year old and watching the behind the scenes of everything
that's happening in Nazi Germany, and everybody's like, oh, you know,
he was thirteen and by the time he turned fifteen,
the war was over, but he was I mean, that
was a critical time of learning. You think about, this
is your freshman year in high school, so you're learning
(18:22):
not only a lot of social stuff, but you're learning
life lessons. He is behind the scenes with one of
the most manipulative regimes in history that was able to
twist people's minds and make them believe that what he
was doing was okay, And you think about, how could
(18:43):
that possibly have ever happened? But now we see this
happening on college campuses. We've seen this situation with Hamas
where people have come out and supported Hamas.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
And you're like, what are you? I mean, even I
think the.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Most interesting one was the letter from Osama bin Laden
when recently college students started to say, gosh, poor Osama
bin Laden, this really makes sense why he did what
he did, and people in.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
The United States are like, how is this happening?
Speaker 1 (19:12):
But isn't this the isn't this what he would have
learned how to do this, how to manipulate the human mind?
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Well? Yeah, and actually, when Hamas took power in two
thousand and seven, Soros write a letter complaining that the
US in Israel didn't want to work with what he
called the democratically elected government. So that's just to show
his judgment. And it's all. I mean, it is funny
in context of how if you criticize Soros, it's called
anti semitic, so it's like, you know, it's just I
(19:40):
think the worst anti Semite on Twitter has never done
the Nazi parties bidding and right, So you know, it's
funny in that regard. And you mentioned the Osama bin
Laden letter, and liberals were citing it to kind of
claim that, oh, they wasn't busy hated us for our freedom,
it's because of our foreign policy. And I don't think
they read the letter, because yes, he did criticis as
(20:00):
our foreign policy. But he also criticized American morality that
we let women have rights, that gay people aren't discriminated against,
et cetera, et cetera. So he covered both bases there
and the liberals that just ignored half of the letter
for some reason.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Yeah, so what happens now that you have I mean,
I think a lot of people were like, Okay, George
Soros is really old, so this is probably going to
go away.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
It's not going away. He's passing this down to his son.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
His son has been watching all of this, and they
have their fingers in everything. That the media is very controlling.
The media has had a huge effect on the minds
of Americans, and I do think that we saw that
most clearly on election night in twenty sixteen, because they
told us who to vote for and we didn't, and
(20:48):
you could see in their faces they were like, what,
how could we have?
Speaker 2 (20:53):
We lost this?
Speaker 1 (20:53):
You know? And I mean some of them outright said,
we are the ones that are supposed to be controlling
the minds of the people. They're so hook line and
synker into this. We control the narrative and you follow
what we say. But I mean, how pathetic is that
for those far left media organizations, that these people are
just pawns in his game. I mean, they're just pieces
(21:16):
on his chessboard.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Well, what is kind of incredible to me is that
despite people like Soros and the overwhelming majority of the
media being liberal, of people who identify with a party,
it's pretty much split between Republicans and Democrats evenly. And
that's with the media that's ninety percent plus liberal. I mean,
if the media is ninety percent Republican, I think the
numbers would be overwhelmingly right wing to left. And yet
(21:41):
even with ninety percent market share, the best that can
achieve is a break Even. Now, when it comes to
Alex Soro's taking over, he has twenty billion dollars to
work with, and when it comes to predicting what's going
to happen, I would say the minimum is just everything
that's been happening so far gets continued. Then you know,
the world cases he adds some issues on top of that,
(22:02):
which seems likely the only thing we have that's I
guess a positive is that he is sort of the
man in front of the curtain and that he just
brags in his social media of every single meeting he
does with every politician he does, so it makes it
very easy to attract his influence. And uh, I'm sure
he'll say its anti semitic to view his Instagram posts,
but at least we know he is.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
He does he have a family now that I know of.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
I mean, I didn't look too much into that, although
I have tried to interview him because I want to
do another book, and I know he knows who I am,
but does not I guess like me for obvious reasons.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
It sounds like we need to find him a good
conservative woman.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
Well he didn't, are Huma Abiden?
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Is he? Yeah? He posts on Valentine's Day a photo
of them together, so I.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Guess, yeah, that's a weird relationship.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Sorry.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Uh yeah, she has a strange history, so.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
She knows how to pick him right exactly.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
I'm like, probably not going to prior away from that one.
She's made some mistakes in the past, so I don't
know how we step in there.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
So okay, so let's take a quick commercial break. We'll
continue next on the Tutor Dixon Podcast looking forward to
twenty twenty four. What do you think I mean, he
seems to be losing a.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Little bit of control over this because now people are
literally named Soros funded, and that's become a negative connotation.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
So what does that do to the sun.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
But what does that also do to a lot of
these people who are running in law enforcement positions to
be elected as an attorney's general and to be elected
as district attorneys and secretaries of state and those positions
where you are having an influence over whether it is
how a judgment is held or prosecuting someone, or even elections.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Now Soro's funded.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Is becoming a bad name, and how much influence does
he have going forward?
Speaker 3 (24:03):
So there actually has been a decline in the number
of soros DA's. I think we're down to we're in
seventy from seventy five. And there were some who won
and then some who lost. So I found that in
a I wrote in the New York Post, I think
last month that I tracked that about a dozen or
so that had either been ousted, resigned, or just not
one reelection. And the most common thing was just them
(24:24):
not It was just them dropping out and refusing to
run for re election, knowing how humiliating it would be
for them to lose. But then there's people like Kim
Fox of the whole Jaesus Malay fame was one of them.
And then of the ousted ones, I think the most
notable was Chase A. Buden in San Francisco, who you know,
I love to say was too crazy for San Francisco,
(24:44):
and he kind of shattered the liberal narrative that only
you know it was racist people motivated to oust him
because because it was actually the Hispanics and Asians in
San Francisco who voted in larger numbers than the white
residents Austin, so that whole narrative of it being racially
motivated breaks down completely. It's only racially motivated, and that
those communities were disproportionately affected by those weekend crime policies.
(25:08):
And Soros himself actually deny it ever having funded Budin
after that happened while he was in office and it
was alleged that he funded him, he never saw fit
to clarify it. Only once he was ousted. Then he
tried to pretend otherwise. And he of course did fund him.
He funded him through a pack and he's trying to
do this whole degree of separation argument where it's no,
(25:28):
the pack funded him, not me, who funded the pack
It's logic only a fact checker would fun convincing.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
I guess yeah, right, Well, I think that some of
these communities that have been affected by the soft on
crime prosecutors and all those folks out there, they are
seemingly turning against the Democrats because of that. We've even
heard rumblings of folks in Detroit, folks in Flint who
are saying, look, Democrats haven't come out here to help us.
(25:56):
We're in a bad situation. We've seen the violence increase
in Detroit. Detroit will say, oh, but our murder rates
are down, while we compete every year for the top
space as the most violent city in the country. In
Michigan alone, we have five of the top twenty most
violent cities in the country. So you look at that
(26:17):
and you start to pick apart these blue states where
people are suffering the most is these communities where they
continue to let repeat offenders go back out and hurt
and then they don't Actually, it's almost as though a
lot of these people who continually steal, rob assault, those
types of things, they're not put away until they murder,
(26:38):
and so they're like, oh, well, once they murdered, we
got rid of them. But I think folks in these
communities are starting to notice, Hey, we're just sitting ducks here.
We're just waiting for the bad guy to finally commit
the crime that puts him away.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Yeah, crime is an incredibly concentrated problem. Like, if you
have a crime in your city double or triple, it
doesn't even necessarily mean there's two to three times as
many criminals. It's more often the case that the same
group of criminals is just in Bolden and in Chicago.
I saw an estimate one so that pretty much the
entire murder epidemic is attributable to two thousand people in
(27:11):
a city of millions. Wow, and how hard is it
really to arrest two thousand people? I mean, the whole
liberal vision of okay, we need free everything so that
no one has to worry about money, and also the
best education system overnight and blah blah blah, and fred
guaranteed income all of that work versus which doesn't even
really work, versus just putting two thousand people in jail, Well,
(27:34):
the latter seems a heck of a lot easier to do.
And when it comes to people waking up on the
crime issue, I think in those areas, the GOP should
just be a single issue party because those people probably
don't like the party's whole package, but on the issue
that affects them the most, on crime, that's just what
we need to be to them is the anti crime party.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
So the story you told about the country that rounded
up the folks that had the gang tattoos and suddenly
their murder rate went way down, I mean, to that point,
Chicago should be the same situation. You know, the bad
guys round them up once, you know, you take out
the leaders, and the next guy gets bumped up, you
take him out too, You get him in jail. You're
(28:15):
you're out of they're out of business. You know. It's
the same concept that we have with Hamas and what
and Yahoo has been trying to say, we got to
take out the leaders and then we can free these people.
But as you said, you've got people like George Soros
who are like, oh, work with this new democracy.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
They're lovely.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Before I let you go, though, I do want you
to talk a little bit about the Bongino Report. I
will sometimes fill in for hosts on different shows, and
you know, anytime we're doing a podcast here where we're
recovering breaking news. It's like my number one place I
go because I'm like, Okay, if I need to know
what's going on in the world, I know that if
(28:52):
I go to the Bongino Report, They're going to have
everything there.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
So for folks who are interested.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
In the news and you don't want to go to
just one source, explain a little bit about what you
guys do, because I think it's fantastic.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Yeah. So, there was sort of a growing awareness that
Drudge has been moving to the left politically, and no
one's really sure entirely why it would only be sold
it or you know, it might have a vendetta against
Trump or something like that. But at the end of
twenty nineteen, Dan and I launched on ginareport dot com
and we have a number of sections, just like Capitol
Hill News, Cultural Issues, econ. We have a section called
(29:26):
swamp Watch, which is just sort of more corruption type stories,
trying like the other sect with national security, Opinion, entertainment, sports,
and health. I'm glad to remember them all. Then we
do like if had eighth stories or so per section,
I mean, it looked really bad if I didn't. Obviously,
we do eight stories per section. Then we have like
a top story section, which is rotated more often. It's
(29:48):
more just breaking news, and it's just sort of just
a general overview of what we think the best stories
from the best sources are. And we'll very rarely put
some liberal sources if they stumble upon a right wing opinion,
but it's mainly just the highest quality conservative news we
can find and just stuff we think will be of
the most used for someone in a daily discussion about politics.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Well, I really appreciate what you do, and I hope
more people will head over to The Bonino Report. It's
updated constantly, so if you are looking for what the
latest news is on a certain subject, they're going to
have it. Matt Palumbo, thank you so much for being
on today.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
My pleasure.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Thank you, and thank.

Speaker 2 (30:40):
Have a blessing,
Welcome to the Tutor Dixon Podcast. I'm excited today because
I've heard all of these different rumors about George Soros's
life and now I have an expert here with me.
So I know that's probably not the guy you want
to talk about, but because he's the guy that's on
the other side, I feel like.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
It's good to know about him. So Matt Palumbo is
here with me.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
He is the content manager for the Bonjina Report and
the author of The Man Behind the Curtain Inside the
Secret Network of George Soros.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Matt, welcome, Well, thanks so much for having me on.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
So I'm really his life has always fascinated me because
I've heard all these stories and I need to know
if they're true, because I heard that when he was
just fourteen he was kind of taken in by an
SS officer or someone who is connected to the Nazi
regime and then was actually involved in the taking of
property from Jewish people. But I know that there's been disputes.
(00:56):
You're the expert. What exactly is his childhood story, right.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
So you're referring to and actually a lot of people
have seen a sixty minutes interview about this where he
was talking about his upbringing and during the German occupation
of Hungary, he was assigned to one of these so
called Jewish councils, and what they were were groups of
Jewish people that Nazis would have, you know, organized together,
and they would be in charge of basically deporting, rounding up,
(01:23):
and confiscating from their fellow Jews. And many of the
people who joined these councils were under this delusion that
they would be exempt from it, exempt from the Holocaust,
exempt from the Nazis oppression. So Soros was one of
the people who worked for them. And you know, while
someone could try to make the argument that while he
was coerced to do it, it was for his own life,
(01:43):
Soros's father, Tivodar hopefully I'm pronouncing that right, wrote in
an autobiography and he actually talks about this incident and
said that he thought his son seemed to enjoy the
work to some extent. And Soros was interviewed by sixty
minutes about this, and the interviewer did try to give
him the out of well, you know, certainly you did
this at gunpoint, and Soro's very coldly reply is like
(02:05):
almost in financial terms of well, if I hadn't to
do it, someone else wasn't going to do it anyway.
And you know, it was asking if it's something that
kept him up at night, and he said no. Now,
the other thing you were referencing was him being undertaken
or taken under the wing of a Nazi officer. There
was a person his father put him in touch with
to basically conceal his Jewish identity and then later help
(02:29):
him flee Hungary. And this man is basically credited with
saving a young George Soros his life. And you know
one thing that just tells you about Soro's character is
this man, throughout his entire life was never publicly identified
by George Soros or Thanks there was never any recognition
of this one guy when I was a kid saved me.
Thank God. It was some guy I think at the
(02:50):
Daily Nail figured out who he was after his death
and that he was the figure who saved sorrows. So
he got no recognition for that from George whatsoever. And
these are just stories early on in his life to
tell you exactly the kind of person he is and
nothing has changed since then.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Well, I think that's the you know, that's the part
where people go, gosh, she was a kid, and I
have a fourteen year old, and I think about my
fourteen year old now going through this. There is something
that tells me though that there would be that internal regret,
and I think that what you pointed out there where
he's like, you know, if I hadn't done it, somebody
else would have done it. It just seems very inhumane
(03:27):
to think that way when you you know what was
happening and what you were involved in. And so he
was kind of on that other side. But that also
is a strange upbringing regardless. You know, obviously everybody who
lived through that time there was massive trauma. There are
lots of scars, and a lot of times trauma leads
(03:48):
to a lot of dysfunction in life. And so George
Uros has kind of been a puppet master of sorts
in the political world. So how did he go from
that to becoming this multi billionaire?
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Right? So he ended up studying the London School of
Economics for college. He went there for all his degrees
through a pH d, and then he ended up coming
to America and his initial goal was he'd make a
million dollars and then go back to Europe. Unfortunately, that's
this isn't what happened. And since then he became unfortunately, Yeah,
he became one of the most successful investors of all time.
(04:23):
In fact, if you go by it's something like one
million dollars invested with him would be worth two billion today.
Now granted this is you know, from like the fifties
or or the sixties onwards, so you would have had
to hold for quite a while. But you know, there's
only one other investor, a guy named Ray Dahlio who
runs aheadshown called Bridgewater Associates, that has ever produced higher
percent returns than Soros. And you know that alone itself
(04:47):
should leave people a bit skeptical of how is it
even possible? And he's had a number of insider trading
scandals over the years. He very famously broke the pound,
the English pound and other currencies. And he he developed
this theory and finance called reflexivity, which is just a
fancy way of saying that there are self fulfilling prophecies
in finance. If he can hop into a trend that
(05:09):
people think is going to happen, the trend will then happen.
And at some point in his career he realized this
actually applies to the media as well, and that the
media has this effect of being kind of a national
horse blinders on the American public and that they can
really only see through whatever the media tells them. And
you know, until there was alternate media, that's really the
only chance choice they had, so you know what they want. Correct.
(05:33):
So if you know, if you want to push a
narrative that America is horrible and racist, you only focus
on stories of that angle, and then it becomes true
and then people themselves.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Another thing that he would have learned in Nazi Germany.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Correct, Yeah, so they actually more part of the Nazi
Germany thing. It was even more bizarre that he didn't
have any cognizance of the optics of what he was saying,
and that even though you are someone who legitimately doesn't
care about what you did, you think you'd not atend
and go, oh my god, it was the worst thing
I had to do my whole life. I've been trying
to repent for it by doing blah blah blah. And
(06:06):
she didn't even have that thought. He was just yet happened,
you know, Oh.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Yeah, And I think that that is why some of
his I guess political investments have been so disturbing. But
as you're saying this, as you're telling me this about
the other investments, I'm like, Okay, well is he that
Could it be that he is this involved in the
political world because there is insider trading. Has he made
his fortune by that connection and then increased that connection.
(06:35):
I mean, it's kind of like a chicken or egg thing.
What was it his political connections that got him the
big money and then he puts the money back in
and gets more political connections.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Well, so there is actually this myth among like I guess,
center left business people, that Soros was responsible for helping
transition a lot of post Soviet countries to capitalism. And
what that really means is when a lot of these
countries broke up, you had all of these state owned
assets and there's the question of well, who gets them
and in most of the cases just a select few
(07:06):
of oligarchs that get assigned those assets and make billions
of dollars overnight. And Soros, through his political connections, was
able to because of his control, you know, over certain people,
and I'm sure you through bribes and all that, was
able to buy up a lot of these state owned
assets for pennies on the dollar and make all this
money for himself, so that him benefiting from corruption was
(07:26):
sort of spun as. Oh, he was helping these countries
go capitalists. If they were going socialist and he could
have made money, he would have done it too. But
you know, he was I guess smart enough on the
optics of that. It's been in this favor.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
So ultimately he doesn't leave the United States. He stays here,
and he decides that he is going to play in
politics and influence modern day US politics, and so he
has been increasingly involved. I think that in the last
ten years we've probably heard more and more about George Soros.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
And what he's been doing.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Now he's played in I would say, what Republicans saw
as non traditional politics, and they weren't really in those spaces.
And so those prosecutors, those das, and suddenly we started
to see this uptick of crime in the US and
it was all of a sudden, this connection like, oh,
wait a minute, He's getting all these soft on crime
das elected and prosecutors elected, and now we have a
(08:23):
big crime problem. But what is the endgame there?
Speaker 2 (08:25):
I don't get it.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
That's the thing that even I struggled the answer. But
you kind of have to just assume it's chaos, you know.
Like I think there's a tendency among conservatives to at
least historically, I think it's shifting for the better, that
they kind of view liberals as people who were just
misguided and would agree with us if they knew better.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
I think it's like this is Pollyann of you. I mean,
if we could just tell them, they they would agree.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Those are that's a case. That's the case of the
das and explain violent crimes have a very they're very
reliable statistics because if someone gets murdered, it's getting reported.
But if you're in an area where there's no point
in reporting a theft, paradoxically, those areas see a decline
in theft on paper because no one's reporting them. And
there was a single month in San Francisco where Target
(09:12):
and the local and the San Franisco Police Department had
a system where Target could effectively report one hundred percent
of shoplisting incidents. Now they end up dropping the system
to police still didn't respond to them. But there was
a single month where one hundred percent of incidents at
the three target locations in San Francisco were actually reported,
and just from those three locations, the theft rate in
(09:35):
the entire city doubled for that month.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
So that's and there is it didn't really double. That's
the sad thing.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Yeah, that's the end. There's tens of thousands. I mean,
the thing is close to one hundred thousand small businesses
in San Francisco, so you can just extrapolate from that
what is the real crime rate, and it is it's
like an upside down world where you will be seeing
homes that are worth millions of dollars, You'll be seeing
all these nice cars, and then there are war thing
is about theft as if you're in an extremely low
(10:03):
income area and you know, these are kind of places
where people might pay a premium to avoid that, and
yet that's right on your doorstep.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Well, and that's why we've seen so many people suddenly
frustrated in these communities, and yet they continue to vote
for this. But I think that that is the combination
of what you were talking about earlier, his influence in
the media, his understanding of propaganda, and I'm telling you
it's become so extreme because it doesn't matter if it's true.
I mean, even in Michigan, they spliced my words together
(10:34):
and made me say things that I didn't say in commercials.
And afterward they openly asked Gretchen Whimer, do you did
you know that these were not the things she said?
And she was fine with it. She said, yeah, we
knew that, but we won.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
So they are.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Manipulating the minds of the people, fully manipulating the Not
reporting crime is also a manipulation if you think about that,
because you keep seeing Biden come out and say, oh,
we've got the lowest crime ever.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Well you also have let's go back to California. You
have this.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
We're not going to put you in jail if you
or arrest you if you steal under nine hundred dollars,
and therefore that's not recorded as crimes either. So as
you let these people out, as you don't charge them,
when they go back out on the streets.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
There's no record that they did what they did.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
And so even though we feel the crime, we know
it's more it's more unsafe. When we got outside, there's
more criminals on the street, there's more problems.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
We don't know. We don't have those numbers because they
aren't recorded.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Yeah, and that's actually what you described as a problem
with the whole philosophy of second chances, and that it's
impossible to enforce because if I go out robistore on
San Francisco, if I somehow get arrested, which is unlikely,
and the judge says, you know what, you messed up,
We'll give you a second chance. If I go do
that again and get arrested, I don't have a criminal record,
So if I get a different judge, they're going to say, oh, well,
(11:58):
you know you messed up, ones you get a second chance.
And in theory, you could have an infinite number of
second chances by that kind of policy. And you know,
the years this common thread with these DA's where criminals
are somehow the real victims. And you know, there's there's
never a single person on the planet who's treated as
if they could just be a person who's morally loose,
who wants to feed the steal. It has to be well,
(12:19):
they're discriminated against by society in some reason. They will
speak about crime as if you know, one more after
school program being solved, we just have prevented all of this,
and crime exists everywhere in the world, and there are
European countries where the income rates are you know, one
tenth of that of the US, and their crime rates
are you know, ninety percent lower, like you know Albeania
(12:42):
and Romania.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Well, it's like in DC, they just literally came out,
what was it, It was like, I.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Think it was the district attorney. I'm not sure.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
They came out and said, we're not going to arrest
ourselves out of this carjacking wave.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
It's like, but yes, you can. Yeah, that's exactly how
you do it.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Yeah, you know El Salvador is the best example of that.
And you know, they had the advantage of their country
where for some reason, their gang members tattoo exactly what
gang they're part of, so it was very easy to
arrest them. But they at one point had a murder
rate of like one hundred and fifty people for ever
or one hundred fifty murders for one hundred thousand people,
which it was the highest in the world at the time,
(13:20):
and for reference, that was five times higher than Chicago's. Well,
they arrested almost every gang member in their country, and
their murder rate is now seventy five percent lower than ours.
So they went for being five times Chicago to basically
as safe as Vermont or Maine or a state like that,
or a Midwestern state in a single you know, in
less than a decade, and they arrested themselves out of
(13:42):
the problem. So yeah, it seems to work.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on
a Tutor Dixon podcast. You hear people talk.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
About why they're running for office, right, but I mean,
as you listen to these presidential candidates, it should be
a given that one reason we have government is to
keep you safe.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
That public safety should be a top priority.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
And not only does that matter in your town or
on the border or nationally, Like these are things that
you kind of come to expect from the United States.
And I think it's been slowly eroding, like I said,
over the past ten years.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Who started being like, oh wow, wait wait.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
George Soros's name is on a lot of these lists
of donor lists, and a lot of these people that
got elected that are not arresting people are connected to that.
One other thing. I mean, I think that your comment
on chaos is interesting. I think chaos is a way
to fully take down a country and there's only one
way to really take down the United States, and that
(14:41):
would be to create chaos to the point where the
country is so unstable that then someone else can roll in.
And so you have to wonder, well, what is his
endgame here? And he's now moved on and he's retired
and supposedly he's handing the baton to his son, and
everybody's like, oh, maybe this is an option in the
Sun's like, no, I'm going to be.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Even more political. I'm going to be more involved.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
But we're watching this from the standpoint of secretaries of state,
and I just want to bring this up quickly because
we watched Katie Hobbs, she was secretary of state. She
was a George Soro's candidate in Michigan. Jocelyn Benson a
secretary of state George Soro's candidate. They are all, as
Justlyn Benson would say, they're all coordinating. And the leftist
(15:24):
media is like, of course you're coordinating. You have to
make sure that you protect everyone from these election people.
You know, we've got to save democracy. But I think
it is kind of interesting, as you talk about chaos
to see these folks who are doing crazy things, like
even Gretchen Whitmer in the state of Michigan is now
giving people five hundred dollars to take an illegal immigrant
(15:45):
into their home and and she'll pay the rent for
ten years or for twelve months if you take someone
into your home. I mean bringing these people into our state.
That to me is causing chaos. And again, someone who
took money from George Soros, but the secretaries of State,
Katie Hobbs ran her own election for governor. Jocelyn Benson
(16:07):
has always also come out and said she's going to
run for governor. So again she will run her own
election for governor. They get into the secretary of State positions,
they kind of change the rules around elections and they
leave people on the voter list, they don't clean things up,
and then suddenly they're running.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
For the highest the highest elected seat in the state.
Doesn't that seem a little fishy?
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (16:31):
And Soros actually started a project in the early two
thousands called the Secretary of State Project, and the whole
point was to stop the and prevent a kind of,
you know, the whole recount situation that happened with George W.
Bush where he you know, you know, marginally sweeked out
the victory in Florida, So he did that for the
express purpose of presidential elections, and as we know, he's
(16:54):
increasingly gone local. So yeah, it makes perfect sense that
he would do that. And one of the things you
kind of of noticed in studying these people is yes,
they are all connected. I mean, even within the Biden administration,
there are a dozen or so people that have at
least been connected with Soros and that they've worked for
a Soros funded group, have served on the board of
a source group near Tandent and ron Klain, you know,
(17:15):
in some capacity, or on the board of the Center
for American Progress, which is Soros linked. Our Secretary of State,
Anthony Blincoln, his parents are major donors Soros's endeavors, and
in fact, at Central European University, which is started by
George Soros, they have a digital archive of you know,
various books and the archive is named after Anthony Blincoln's parents.
(17:37):
And one of the first things he did after taking
off is was he sanctioned one of his biggest critics
in Albania, who is the first democratically elected president in
the country, and Soros tried to sway him and failed
and I guess got revenge two or three decades later
from that. He now can't enter the US. So a
very petty guy, I guess. But he has an enormous
(17:58):
amount of influence in all these people. The influence is
are connected to some degree.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
But I meann't just going back to being a fourteen
year old and watching the behind the scenes of everything
that's happening in Nazi Germany, and everybody's like, oh, you know,
he was thirteen and by the time he turned fifteen,
the war was over, but he was I mean, that
was a critical time of learning. You think about, this
is your freshman year in high school, so you're learning
(18:22):
not only a lot of social stuff, but you're learning
life lessons. He is behind the scenes with one of
the most manipulative regimes in history that was able to
twist people's minds and make them believe that what he
was doing was okay, And you think about, how could
(18:43):
that possibly have ever happened? But now we see this
happening on college campuses. We've seen this situation with Hamas
where people have come out and supported Hamas.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
And you're like, what are you? I mean, even I
think the.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Most interesting one was the letter from Osama bin Laden
when recently college students started to say, gosh, poor Osama
bin Laden, this really makes sense why he did what
he did, and people in.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
The United States are like, how is this happening?
Speaker 1 (19:12):
But isn't this the isn't this what he would have
learned how to do this, how to manipulate the human mind?
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Well? Yeah, and actually, when Hamas took power in two
thousand and seven, Soros write a letter complaining that the
US in Israel didn't want to work with what he
called the democratically elected government. So that's just to show
his judgment. And it's all. I mean, it is funny
in context of how if you criticize Soros, it's called
anti semitic, so it's like, you know, it's just I
(19:40):
think the worst anti Semite on Twitter has never done
the Nazi parties bidding and right, So you know, it's
funny in that regard. And you mentioned the Osama bin
Laden letter, and liberals were citing it to kind of
claim that, oh, they wasn't busy hated us for our freedom,
it's because of our foreign policy. And I don't think
they read the letter, because yes, he did criticis as
(20:00):
our foreign policy. But he also criticized American morality that
we let women have rights, that gay people aren't discriminated against,
et cetera, et cetera. So he covered both bases there
and the liberals that just ignored half of the letter
for some reason.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Yeah, so what happens now that you have I mean,
I think a lot of people were like, Okay, George
Soros is really old, so this is probably going to
go away.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
It's not going away. He's passing this down to his son.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
His son has been watching all of this, and they
have their fingers in everything. That the media is very controlling.
The media has had a huge effect on the minds
of Americans, and I do think that we saw that
most clearly on election night in twenty sixteen, because they
told us who to vote for and we didn't, and
(20:48):
you could see in their faces they were like, what,
how could we have?
Speaker 2 (20:53):
We lost this?
Speaker 1 (20:53):
You know? And I mean some of them outright said,
we are the ones that are supposed to be controlling
the minds of the people. They're so hook line and
synker into this. We control the narrative and you follow
what we say. But I mean, how pathetic is that
for those far left media organizations, that these people are
just pawns in his game. I mean, they're just pieces
(21:16):
on his chessboard.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Well, what is kind of incredible to me is that
despite people like Soros and the overwhelming majority of the
media being liberal, of people who identify with a party,
it's pretty much split between Republicans and Democrats evenly. And
that's with the media that's ninety percent plus liberal. I mean,
if the media is ninety percent Republican, I think the
numbers would be overwhelmingly right wing to left. And yet
(21:41):
even with ninety percent market share, the best that can
achieve is a break Even. Now, when it comes to
Alex Soro's taking over, he has twenty billion dollars to
work with, and when it comes to predicting what's going
to happen, I would say the minimum is just everything
that's been happening so far gets continued. Then you know,
the world cases he adds some issues on top of that,
(22:02):
which seems likely the only thing we have that's I
guess a positive is that he is sort of the
man in front of the curtain and that he just
brags in his social media of every single meeting he
does with every politician he does, so it makes it
very easy to attract his influence. And uh, I'm sure
he'll say its anti semitic to view his Instagram posts,
but at least we know he is.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
He does he have a family now that I know of.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
I mean, I didn't look too much into that, although
I have tried to interview him because I want to
do another book, and I know he knows who I am,
but does not I guess like me for obvious reasons.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
It sounds like we need to find him a good
conservative woman.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
Well he didn't, are Huma Abiden?
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Is he? Yeah? He posts on Valentine's Day a photo
of them together, so I.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Guess, yeah, that's a weird relationship.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Sorry.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Uh yeah, she has a strange history, so.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
She knows how to pick him right exactly.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
I'm like, probably not going to prior away from that one.
She's made some mistakes in the past, so I don't
know how we step in there.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
So okay, so let's take a quick commercial break. We'll
continue next on the Tutor Dixon Podcast looking forward to
twenty twenty four. What do you think I mean, he
seems to be losing a.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Little bit of control over this because now people are
literally named Soros funded, and that's become a negative connotation.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
So what does that do to the sun.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
But what does that also do to a lot of
these people who are running in law enforcement positions to
be elected as an attorney's general and to be elected
as district attorneys and secretaries of state and those positions
where you are having an influence over whether it is
how a judgment is held or prosecuting someone, or even elections.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Now Soro's funded.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Is becoming a bad name, and how much influence does
he have going forward?
Speaker 3 (24:03):
So there actually has been a decline in the number
of soros DA's. I think we're down to we're in
seventy from seventy five. And there were some who won
and then some who lost. So I found that in
a I wrote in the New York Post, I think
last month that I tracked that about a dozen or
so that had either been ousted, resigned, or just not
one reelection. And the most common thing was just them
(24:24):
not It was just them dropping out and refusing to
run for re election, knowing how humiliating it would be
for them to lose. But then there's people like Kim
Fox of the whole Jaesus Malay fame was one of them.
And then of the ousted ones, I think the most
notable was Chase A. Buden in San Francisco, who you know,
I love to say was too crazy for San Francisco,
(24:44):
and he kind of shattered the liberal narrative that only
you know it was racist people motivated to oust him
because because it was actually the Hispanics and Asians in
San Francisco who voted in larger numbers than the white
residents Austin, so that whole narrative of it being racially
motivated breaks down completely. It's only racially motivated, and that
those communities were disproportionately affected by those weekend crime policies.
(25:08):
And Soros himself actually deny it ever having funded Budin
after that happened while he was in office and it
was alleged that he funded him, he never saw fit
to clarify it. Only once he was ousted. Then he
tried to pretend otherwise. And he of course did fund him.
He funded him through a pack and he's trying to
do this whole degree of separation argument where it's no,
(25:28):
the pack funded him, not me, who funded the pack
It's logic only a fact checker would fun convincing.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
I guess yeah, right, Well, I think that some of
these communities that have been affected by the soft on
crime prosecutors and all those folks out there, they are
seemingly turning against the Democrats because of that. We've even
heard rumblings of folks in Detroit, folks in Flint who
are saying, look, Democrats haven't come out here to help us.
(25:56):
We're in a bad situation. We've seen the violence increase
in Detroit. Detroit will say, oh, but our murder rates
are down, while we compete every year for the top
space as the most violent city in the country. In
Michigan alone, we have five of the top twenty most
violent cities in the country. So you look at that
(26:17):
and you start to pick apart these blue states where
people are suffering the most is these communities where they
continue to let repeat offenders go back out and hurt
and then they don't Actually, it's almost as though a
lot of these people who continually steal, rob assault, those
types of things, they're not put away until they murder,
(26:38):
and so they're like, oh, well, once they murdered, we
got rid of them. But I think folks in these
communities are starting to notice, Hey, we're just sitting ducks here.
We're just waiting for the bad guy to finally commit
the crime that puts him away.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Yeah, crime is an incredibly concentrated problem. Like, if you
have a crime in your city double or triple, it
doesn't even necessarily mean there's two to three times as
many criminals. It's more often the case that the same
group of criminals is just in Bolden and in Chicago.
I saw an estimate one so that pretty much the
entire murder epidemic is attributable to two thousand people in
(27:11):
a city of millions. Wow, and how hard is it
really to arrest two thousand people? I mean, the whole
liberal vision of okay, we need free everything so that
no one has to worry about money, and also the
best education system overnight and blah blah blah, and fred
guaranteed income all of that work versus which doesn't even
really work, versus just putting two thousand people in jail, Well,
(27:34):
the latter seems a heck of a lot easier to do.
And when it comes to people waking up on the
crime issue, I think in those areas, the GOP should
just be a single issue party because those people probably
don't like the party's whole package, but on the issue
that affects them the most, on crime, that's just what
we need to be to them is the anti crime party.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
So the story you told about the country that rounded
up the folks that had the gang tattoos and suddenly
their murder rate went way down, I mean, to that point,
Chicago should be the same situation. You know, the bad
guys round them up once, you know, you take out
the leaders, and the next guy gets bumped up, you
take him out too, You get him in jail. You're
(28:15):
you're out of they're out of business. You know. It's
the same concept that we have with Hamas and what
and Yahoo has been trying to say, we got to
take out the leaders and then we can free these people.
But as you said, you've got people like George Soros
who are like, oh, work with this new democracy.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
They're lovely.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Before I let you go, though, I do want you
to talk a little bit about the Bongino Report. I
will sometimes fill in for hosts on different shows, and
you know, anytime we're doing a podcast here where we're
recovering breaking news. It's like my number one place I
go because I'm like, Okay, if I need to know
what's going on in the world, I know that if
(28:52):
I go to the Bongino Report, They're going to have
everything there.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
So for folks who are interested.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
In the news and you don't want to go to
just one source, explain a little bit about what you
guys do, because I think it's fantastic.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Yeah. So, there was sort of a growing awareness that
Drudge has been moving to the left politically, and no
one's really sure entirely why it would only be sold
it or you know, it might have a vendetta against
Trump or something like that. But at the end of
twenty nineteen, Dan and I launched on ginareport dot com
and we have a number of sections, just like Capitol
Hill News, Cultural Issues, econ. We have a section called
(29:26):
swamp Watch, which is just sort of more corruption type stories,
trying like the other sect with national security, Opinion, entertainment, sports,
and health. I'm glad to remember them all. Then we
do like if had eighth stories or so per section,
I mean, it looked really bad if I didn't. Obviously,
we do eight stories per section. Then we have like
a top story section, which is rotated more often. It's
(29:48):
more just breaking news, and it's just sort of just
a general overview of what we think the best stories
from the best sources are. And we'll very rarely put
some liberal sources if they stumble upon a right wing opinion,
but it's mainly just the highest quality conservative news we
can find and just stuff we think will be of
the most used for someone in a daily discussion about politics.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Well, I really appreciate what you do, and I hope
more people will head over to The Bonino Report. It's
updated constantly, so if you are looking for what the
latest news is on a certain subject, they're going to
have it. Matt Palumbo, thank you so much for being
on today.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
My pleasure.
