Nice to meet you.

- Okay.
- Yes.

[Sacha Baron Cohen] In Borat
Subsequent Moviefilm,

I lived with two
conspiracy theorists,

in character, for several days.

- Vaccines.
- Bill Gates.

- Mail-in ballots.
- Chinese virus.

- Drink their blood.
- Not nice.

[Sacha] The myths
and misinformation

they shared with Borat

fuel a dangerous rhetoric

that is tearing apart societies

in front of our eyes.

In this series of episodes,

we'll introduce Jim and Jerry
to world-leading experts,

doctors and academics,
who will address

some of the most dangerous
conspiracies head-on

and debunk them face-to-face.

Hello, Jim and Jerry.

This is Hillary Rodham Clinton.

[Jim] Do you know

who George Soros is?

He's a Hungarian Nazi,
or a Hungarian Jewish person.

When he was a kid, he was
passed off as a Christian boy

and given to a Nazi guy.

And this Nazi guy, um,

claimed him as his godson,
if I remember correctly.

So, anyway, he didn't
get shipped off to the camp,

but he helped ship a bunch of
Jewish people off to the camps

and stole their prop... helped
steal their property, whatnot.

So he's just as guilty
as the Nazis were.

[narrator] For decades
the Jewish philanthropist

and billionaire investor
George Soros

has been the target of multiple

conspiracy theories
accusing him of being

a global puppet master
who controls everything

from the world economy
to the protests following

the killing of George Floyd.

At the heart of this
anti-Semitic fallacy

is the long-held conviction
that powerful Jews

are bent on world domination.

Today George Soros
is a frequent target

at the center of it all.

Soros made his money
in the world of finance

and investments, was one
of the financiers to profit

from the pounds fall in 1992,
which earned him

the nickname "the man who broke
the Bank of England,"

and is a generous
philanthropist and benefactor,

having given away
over $32 billion

to a wide variety of causes.

As early as 1979,

he funded scholarships in
South Africa during apartheid.

He expanded from there
to Europe, Asia, Latin America,

and the U.S.

with endeavors as diverse
as promoting democracy,

funding Ebola treatment,
hate crime prevention,

and was an early
LGBTQ rights supporter.

In 1998, the news program
60 Minutes profiled Soros.

In it, the reporter explored
how, as a teenager,

Soros survived the Holocaust
by pretending to be the godson

of a Christian government
official in Budapest.

When pressed
about his experience,

Soros answered that he had
witnessed his godfather

confiscating the property
of other Jews.

This complicated chapter in
Soros's life has been pointed to

by conspiracy theorists
as proof that he was either

complicit in these actions
or else a Nazi himself.

Further supported by a photo
of an Auschwitz bookkeeper

that was falsely identified
as him,

these lies spread rapidly,
defaming his character.

Hi. [laughs]

- Hi, Imran. I'm Jim.
- I'm Jerry.

Hi, Jim and Jerry.
My name's Imran Ahmed.

Uh, I run the Center
for Countering Digital Hate.

The Center for what? I'm sorry.

And it's good to meet you,
by the way, first.

What, now, is it?

It's the Center for Countering
Digital Hate.

-Counting... Countering
Digital Hate. -Countering.

[newswoman] I want
to bring in Imran Ahmed.

He is the founder and CEO
of the Center

for Countering Digital Hate.

Misinformation intermingles
seamlessly with information,

with no way of telling
what's right and what's wrong.

So we should be making sure

that good information
is being pushed out.

There's this theory
that George Soros,

he was a Nazi during
the Second World War.

I've heard that.

Do you remember
where you heard it?

All I saw was
a picture somewhere,

and it was,
he was in a Nazi uniform,

and that's all I know
about the guy.

[Imran] He wasn't a Nazi

during the Second World War.

No 14-year-old child can ever
be credibly called a Nazi.

- Especially a Jewish child...
- [laughter]

uh, during the Holocaust.

[Jim] What I really wonder

is how Hitler got
all of those people

- to follow him.
- That's easy.

It's just,
it-it just baffles my mind.

Throughout history,

anti-Semitic
conspiracy theories,

they're like the original.

The aim of them

is to give you the rationale

to go and kill Jewish people.

There is a fake book called

The Protocols of the Elders
of Zion.

It said that it was
the proceedings

of a meeting
of the Elders of Zion,

who are meant to be the leaders
of the Jewish community,

to talk about how they were
going to take over the world.

Well, that book,

which was a forgery, of course,

because there are
no Elders of Zion,

quite specifically Hitler used
it as one of his justifications

for the Holocaust.

It takes a lot of
misinformation, a lot of lies,

to persuade someone
to hate that much.

'Cause we ain't born that way,
are we?

- No.
- No.

- Absolutely not.
- Right?

And it shows you how fragile

our society can be.

Especially when we live

in this social media age where

conspiracy theories and lies
can be transmitted

like that.

[Sir Richard J. Evans] You can
look at the Internet

and see Soros involved

in a web of conspiracies
to undermine civilization.

On a broader scale,
these conspiracy theories

about George Soros
perpetuate the image

of the Jewish financier as an
evil plotter behind the scenes.

[Glenn Beck] The strings
that are being pulled

by the puppet master.

Guess who controls most
of the most powerful.

George Soros.

His thoughts and his...
and his beliefs

that he's wanting
to push on people...

His way of trying to control
funneling his money down

in different ways

and setting up
different organizations.

It's, in my opinion, I think,
the reason why we're having

a lot of the problems
that we're having today.

[Andrew Marantz] George Soros
is Jewish, and because he

does a bunch of politically
controversial things

with his money, that then
morphs, very easily,

into George Soros is part
of a secret Jewish cabal

that is controlling the world.

The world of conspiracy theories
is a world of black and white

and right and wrong
and good and evil.

And it is

comforting, I think,
for many people to believe

that bad things that happen
happen because some bad person

wanted them to happen.

Soros is the bogeyman,
in that sense.
