This video (0:00 - 9:59) discusses reports that the Trump administration is leveraging an executive order signed on September 25, 2025—which focuses on countering domestic terrorism and political violence—to investigate the tax-exempt status of various organizations, most notably the Open Society Foundations founded by George Soros.
Key points discussed:
Targeting Nonprofits: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and the IRS are reportedly reviewing whether organizations like the Open Society Foundations, the Southern Poverty Law Center, and CAIR are in violation of 501(c)(3) rules. If found in violation, these groups could potentially lose their tax-exempt status and be liable for millions in back taxes (4:42).
The Role of Scott Bessent: The video emphasizes that Secretary Bessent previously worked for George Soros and managed portions of his investment firm, including the famous 1992 trade against the British pound (5:20-6:21). The narrator suggests this background gives Bessent unique insight into how these financial networks operate
Strategic Downsizing: The narrator points to reports that the Open Society Foundations has been laying off 40% of its workforce (7:28).
While the organization cites strategic reasons, the video speculates this may be a move to preserve capital in anticipation of legal challenges or the loss of their tax-exempt status (7:47-8:40).
The narrator frames these actions as a long-awaited effort by the Trump administration to "target the machine" that funds left-wing activist groups and domestic political violence.

About time.
Should have done it in his first term.
If he’s not arrested and charged along with his Boyz, then it ain’t crap.
Great opportunity to get the goods on Hillary through Huma Soros.
Don’t forget the billions Soros brought into the USA in 1946 and and later, then he bought his way into the Country. He stole billions in real estate properties from Jews in Hungary by selling them out to the Nazis. Then, sending them to die in concentration camps and taking ownership Titles for pennies or paying nothing to the Nazis.
Yea!
I honestly don’t know how the Soros clan survives, even with a security detail. We lost Charlie Kirk and almost lost Scalise, for example. And Brian Thompson, gunned down in his back for the mistake of leading a health care corporation. John Lennon dead. Several attempts on President Trump.
The Soros security team must be fantastic.
Now we are talking. I get the feeling things are starting to fall like dominoes.

Bessent is investigating? Isn't this a case of the fox guarding the henhouse? Lets not forget Bessent made Two Billion Dollars thanks to György Schwartz.
Bessent knows where the Sor@s bodies are buried.
how about we look at it as poacher turned gamekeeper?
I voted for this!
