One of my favorite lines in movie history—full disclosure, I love silly comedies—is when Leslie Nielsen, portraying the unbelievably inept Lt. Frank Drebin in 1988's "The Naked Gun," stands in front of a flame-engulfed fireworks store as massive explosions burst around him and loudly declares, "All right—move along—nothing to see here!  Please disperse! NOTHING TO SEE HERE!" 

That's how I feel when I read that ultra-left-wing billionaire George Soros is preparing to take a massive stake in the nation's second-largest chain of broadcast radio stations, the currently bankrupt "Audacy." Even though the move hasn’t attracted a ton of attention, it's anything but funny, as the financier is likely to exert his influence over the network to promote his anti-American socialist viewpoint.

He's pumped in over $400 million to the effort:

George Soros is poised to take a massive stake in the nation’s second-largest radio company, which owns more than 220 stations nationwide, according to court filings and sources close to the situation.

The left-leaning billionaire’s Soros Fund Management has bought up $400 million of debt in Audacy — the No. 2 US radio broadcaster behind iHeartMedia with stations including New York’s WFAN and 1010 WINS, as well as Los Angeles-based KROQ, according to bankruptcy filings.

One insider close to the situation, noting that he was a Republican, said he believed it was possible Soros was buying the stake to exert influence on public opinion in the months leading up to the 2024 presidential election.

“This is scary,” the source said.

George Soros quietly taking over the second largest radio operator Audacy who is currently in bankruptcy. Very interesting during an election year @MasaSonCap @zerohedge @elonmusk

Soros is no stranger to controversy and seems to revel in ruffling feathers. Although some on the left contend that any criticism of him constitutes antisemitism, the truth is his Jewish background has nothing to do with why many on the right consider him a danger to society. I and many other critics have zero interest in his religion—it’s his actions we deplore.

Among many other things, he has been a big backer of woke, soft-on-crime district attorneys like LA’s notorious George Gascón, Philly’s Larry Krasner, Manhattan’s farce of a prosecutor, Alvin Bragg, and so many others who have contributed to the sense of lawlessness currently plaguing the United States.

It’s not the only recent media move by the mogul – his fund was part of a group of lenders that bought Vice Media out of bankruptcy last year, and he’s also taken a minority stake in podcast company Crooked Media.

It remains to be seen what Soros intends to do with his new toys, but like a James Bond villain, we can be sure he’ll play with them. It’s entirely likely that he will use all the powers at his disposal to try to install Joe Biden into another disastrous presidential term that will further weaken America and slide us ever closer to some sort of perverted socialism. 

There is actually something to see here, and I’m pretty sure we're not going to like it.
