Bongino Report content manager Matt Palumbo is out with another book on the Soros family philanthropic empire. This one’s titled The Heir: Inside the (Not So) Secret Network of Alex Soros. Our Soros expert, MRC Business editor Joseph Vazquez, helps explain what Alex has been doing to make a mockery of their so-called “Open Society” foundations.
We’ve recently noted that the Soros family has backed a series of organizations that conduct violent protests and vandalism, like the Sunrise Movement. but then pretend they’re not funding chaos. As Palumbo puts it, “You can’t give money to an arsonist and then feign surprise when he uses it to fund fires.”
It’s beyond puzzling that someone would say they’re backing an “Open Society” while they are supporting climate-panicked crackdown on our energy use in our cars and homes, or when you’re backing “pro-Palestinian” organizations that effectively support Hamas and Islamists. The Soros family has backed Muslim political action committees that helped the ascent of radical leftist Zohran Mamdani, who could be the next mayor of New York City.
Joseph wrote it up when CNN/PBS host Christiane Amanpour touted former Open Society Foundations leader Patrick Gaspard as a “close confident” of Mamdani. She tried to draw similarities between Mamdani and the charisma of Barack Obama. Gaspard obliged, saying Mamdani channeled Obama’s ability to communicate issues in the “idiom of aspiration.” Journalist Ira Stoll documented Gaspard’s connection to Mamdani in a thoroughly researched July 2025 item headlined, “Behind Zohran Mamdani, an Experienced Soros-Obama Operative.”
Asra Nomani reported for Fox News that radical antisemitic activist Linda Sarsour is pledging to hold Mayor Mamdani accountable if he wins. “Voting for Zohran is not, ‘We’re going to vote for Zohran and just let him do whatever the hell he wants when he gets to City Hall.’ Our job as a movement is we have to hold whoever goes to City Hall accountable,” Sarsour said. That includes disbanding the NYPD’s elite Strategic Response Group, which polices terrorism threats, protests and riots.
