I had a whole long reply typed up, but it disappeared.
My take?
Soros is a scary fucker who collapses economies for fun! This guy is very pro Soros, so I'm not a fan. Sorry

He wasn't pro Soros. He kept saying Soros is making a mistake by trying to throw money at problems with one hand he made with the other hand.

That's not what he said. He said that he thinks Soros is on the right track to making a global economy, but that he's going about it wrong...
