And welcome back let's talk now back about the presidential election and specifically these support George Soros.
Who's been in the news quite a bit.
For President Obama and joining us now to talk about this is Dan Gainer he's the media research center's vice president for business and culture.
And he has written an article about this which appears right now on our website foxnews.com it's called Soros could just be getting started with his two million dollar.
Boost to the laugh thank you for joining us as opposed.
So the word for a while was that maybe he wasn't Soros wasn't that big.
Supporter of Obama.
Well so this has always been a big supporter -- one of the very first people to get involved in his last campaign.
When you said he was going to sit this campaign -- and he gives us pretense that he doesn't get involved in American politics which of course is a big lie and but.
The last time he kind of put his toe in the water was 2004.
And 2004 he ended up giving.
32 million dollars to all sorts of 520 seven's.
And I guess now would be super pacs and things like that to you have to boost democratic campaign.
So two million dollars that he's already committed.
It's really just that they would likely just -- starting point.
So what makes you think that he's about to wrap it up well because I hit it basically.
He's one of the big money man of the left.
He's given in the last more than ten years.
550.
Million dollars to boost all sorts of left wing causes in America.
38 million dollars now we're just that we political calls for the to cross over so heavily.
I don't see him sitting out the selection to you just give two million dollars he's an investor.
Once he gives money puts money on something he wants to win so if it's two million.
A very likely to be a digit before that number by the time collectibles -- his ambivalence of Soros toward Romney.
I think -- Cares more.
You his team win.
When you look it you are good so much -- what he's written or talked about her pieces.
And the left just to -- what he wants and by Obama going.
-- his big move forward.
Being again open about being pro -- because he's been that way before.
Is down the -- more sort of support because -- that's been one of the major initiatives his money is gone to work.
But -- he did express -- that he's.
Not as concerned about the future of the country if Romney won vs any of the other Republican yeah I think.
It's more voting for his team voting against Romney I -- I think I think as an investor you see somebody -- from -- you know involved in big capital is not.
It -- for George Soros that's not somebody who's an -- it's just somebody who.
It's not -- -- supporting a lot of the issues he wants to support right so important is money in this campaign.
It's incredibly important you've got some money like George Soros who.
Don't I mean just for the inauguration source soundly through quarter million dollars at the inauguration like it's nothing.
I here's a guy who is one of the world's richest man he's got twenty billion dollars.
But he is all of this financing he travels with you also to -- you lefties if financiers.
And they can through.
Literally.
You -- tens of millions of dollars at this campaign.
Bobby Bonds in this case -- when he's already thrown into this campaign buys either.
Support for groups that are doing research which means opposition research.
Or revise grassroots activity which is get out the vote.
And then and then ultimately buys advertising so everything -- It buys access to getting more voters out there and -- tight race which is what we've got right now that could tip the scales one way -- the other.
Yet that is the information that we have is that right now it's looking very tight so we'll see which way it goes but an interesting article by Dan Gainer on our website right now at foxnews.com.
Saying that billionaire George Soros could be just getting started with -- two million dollar boost.
To the left and a lot more interesting facts in there about the financing of this campaign and George source that you so much for joining us thank you are right and --
