Trump went full Soros today. He actually mentioned George Soros being a funder of protests. Now you might wonder, and a lot of people have asked me this, why I don't talk about George Soros. And I don't know what to think about all the George Soros stuff. My first initial thoughts about it all was that it was just a conspiracy theory on the right. And that yeah George Soros funds some organizations who are involved in some things and he likes different things than we like. But is it a big deal or is it just a convenient person to blame for stuff? I never really had a sense of it.

And then if you try to look into it it's the rabbit hole just goes down forever and you can't really tell what's true. Because if you read anything written on the right about George Soros you get three sentences in and you start scratching your head and you say yeah I don't know how true any of this is. It just didn't feel like it just feels too impossible to be true. Which doesn't mean it's not true. It just doesn't pass the sniff test with me.

But I'm sure it is true that he gives to groups and some of that money ends up in the protest groups. That's probably true. But I don't know how important it is. And then I say to myself where is the dividing line between being active and funding things and trying to be a good cause in the world? Where is the dividing line between that and influencing an election from a different country?

If George Soros is doing what he is accused of doing, shouldn't the U.S. be sanctioning him? So here's where the disconnect is. If we don't like other countries influencing our elections and he seems to be universally accused of doing exactly that by funding groups who are protesting and clearly trying to change the outcome of politics, why isn't that foreign interference and why isn't the U.S. actively acting against him as we would if Russia did it, as we would if China did it?

So one of the reasons I don't talk about the Soros situation is that none of it makes sense to me. It doesn't make sense that the people who have the power, the Trump administration and their supporters, it doesn't make sense to me that we're accusing them of all these things but then we're acting as though they're not happening. So what we're saying and what we're doing don't seem to have any connection. So I'm hoping somebody can explain that.

Oh he's a U.S. citizen. Soros is a U.S. citizen. Where does he live though? He doesn't live in America does he? Somebody told me where Soros lives. I'll have to look that up. Soros, he's an American citizen but he was born in Hungary, right? Let's look him up here. George Soros. I should dig deeper into Soros. Scott I think you underestimate him.

Well here's my problem. The problem is that when you dig deeper into him you can't really be sure that what you're reading is true. All right so he's a Hungarian-American investor. So born in Hungary and then an American citizen as you said. But does he live here? He was born in Budapest. His children, relatives website. But where does he live? And emigrated to England. But where is he now?

Well let me ask you this. He doesn't live, does he live in New York now? I can't believe that he lives in New York and he's in favor of open borders unless he plans to leave New York. He's in Austria somebody says. All right well he probably has a number of houses. But here's my question that I just generated just now. If it is okay for Soros who is an American citizen as you've informed me, if it's okay for him to influence our elections directly, would it be okay if he lived in another country and did it? Suppose he was an American citizen and he lived in Russia. Would it be okay for him to try to influence our elections if he lived in Russia? Right it's an interesting question isn't it?

Let's say he lived in Russia but he was an American citizen. Could he do anything he wanted to influence our elections? I'm not sure he could but maybe he could. I don't know. It's sort of an interesting question. But he lives all over the world. Yeah so he's financing a lot of people on the left. Well I guess I just have more questions about Soros and I don't think we completely understand what's going on with that.
