In a letter to the chairwoman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Republican Rep. Chip Roy of Texas expressed deep concern over efforts by globalist billionaire George Soros to gain approval for his investment company’s purchase of a major broadcast and internet radio platform in the United States. The company, Audacy, owns many local radio stations throughout the country and recently filed for bankruptcy. Soros’ private investment firm, Soros Fund Management, purchased a large portion of Audacy’s debt, leading to fears that he aimed to control over 200 radio stations ahead of the 2024 election.
The Texas congressman insisted that the FCC should not expedite the deal and should instead follow the law by conducting a thorough review of the purchase. According to Roy, the 1934 Communications Act is clear in its prohibition of foreign ownership of U.S. radio stations, and it is apparent that the law’s authors intended to prevent situations like Soros’ attempt to control Audacy.

Soros’ group has requested the FCC to waive its standard review requirements, claiming that it would expedite the approval process. However, Roy argued that the FCC is obligated to follow the law and protect the American people, rather than giving in to the expedient interests of Soros’ group.
Moreover, the influence of Soros in local communities, including the funding of down-ballot elections and the potential control of radio airwaves, raises concerns about his impact on America. The spread of his influence into these areas, and others like the funding of district attorneys’ offices, is viewed as a threat to freedom by conservative voices.
In light of the ongoing battle against Big Tech and the elites, The Western Journal has been seeking support to continue its fight. Acknowledging the impact of readers’ donations in keeping the organization operational, they have emphasized the need for ongoing support to resist the influence of globalist agendas.
In conclusion, the concerns raised by Roy and The Western Journal align with a conservative perspective that emphasizes adherence to the law and protection from actors with potential negative influence. The battle against globalist elites is underscored by the call for continued support to uphold American values and independence.
