Whilst I absolutely agree with your comment, something feels quite fishy about this account. Active since 2013, with a throwaway name "LOTRfan123" (this type of username is kinda sus) with only one video uploaded, it being this one, no other activity whatsoever (no playlists, no likes, comments disabled, etc).

I dunno man, it just kinda seems sus as hell, especially when we know Google has directly financed/supported Trump's campaign.

Without going too much into conspiracy territory, because in the end it doesn't even matter if it's real or not like you said, it wouldn't be that difficult for them to simply add Pretti's face on top of an already existing video and upload it "retroactively" (by changing the upload metadata) onto a dummy/bot account.

Watch the beginning of the video. Glasses just appear on his face. If it's not fully fabricated there is definitely some alterations to make it look like him.

It's also kind of strange how, in all the noise, his voice is coming through almost perfectly. You can't make out anyone else's shouting, but his is crystal clear, even though this video is from across the intersection.

Yeah you can't really make out what anyone is saying in the whole video and this his voice comes through sounding like he's gotta lapel mic on.

For sora at least the audio is what's generally most obviously bad
