Many have said that certain socialist practices could be adopted and may be beneficial for the country, but none are so radical as to say that we ought to scrap the system and adopt a full-on leftist-authoritarian government.
I think that it's more of a reflection of the views of the country itself, which is leaning a bit more left each year. I highly doubt that this is a result of a deliberate effort on the part of any one group, as that would take a MASSIVE decade-spanning conspiracy. America is a huge country filled with myriad disparate peoples. Opinions change. It's completely natural. The general leftward shift of the country is more likely due to changing demographics and access to information than the influence of shadowy saboteurs. At some point we'll probably swing back to the right a bit, then left again after a few generations.

I think if you listen to the videos again and read your response to what he said you would see you are proving his revelation as accurate.
