We're going to go to Annapalina and Luna in just a moment, but here's the representative from Florida who did a social media post yesterday afternoon and watch what she says. Just found a really great deep dive here from the data Republican on X. So who is behind all these crazy rights in L.A. and that will be across the nation. Just like remember, in the summer of love with BLM, remember who's organizing all that stuff? With this, this specifically is being funded by an individual by the name of Neville Shingham, who actually made his money by pushing communist Chinese propaganda, became a billionaire doing it. He's now funding, and the guy behind all of these protests was also behind and tied to the protests at Columbia University, pushing all of that BS, if you don't remember.

And then also, too, if you actually look at the social organization that's putting out these flyers, It's the party for socialism and liberation, which is, and I kid you not, the actual communist party. So they're using Hispanics. They're using illegal immigrants. They're trying to hype people up thinking that they care, but they don't care. They did. They would stop illegal immigration. Obama deported people.

Why all of a sudden now? It's political. Representative Anna Palina Luna from Florida joining me right now. It is great to have you here. Thanks for having me on, Trish. I saw what you were doing yesterday with Neville Singman, and it blew me away. And I was talking to the viewers yesterday. It jogged my memory.

And I dug up this little New York Times post. I was just like, wow, like this is crazy. If this amount of money is actually being directed in part by foreigners, right, by China, not exactly our friend, then I think we have a far larger problem than we ever, ever thought of. But it was you who brought this to my attention. And I think you're trying to do a little bit more with this. Explain to me what's going on, your concerns, and what you do as a member of the House Oversight Committee to confront it head on.

Yes, so I'm a member of the House Oversight Committee. Also, I head up the task force on declassifications. But really, you know, when I first started seeing these rights that are not organic, started to be organized, and then I was actually on X. And I came across a thread by a woman who goes by the name of the data or a dad Republican on that. Yep, I'm looking at it. And she had actually, yeah, so she had actually posted that an individual by the name of Neville-Singham was actually the one that was funding these riots. And then all the different organizations that he funded that are actually communist organizations that are the ones that are putting up these flyers and organizing them specifically around the states.

Well, he's not the only one, right? Like their end objective, though, is to really hurt. President Trump hurt the ideological space here with Americans. Now, this is kind of big picture. Let me jump in on that because, you're, you're Hispanic yourself, right? And I think this is important. I'm actually, I'm Mexican-American. I'm not Hispanic. I'm all Irish through and through, but I speak fluent Spanish and I've spent a lot of time covering some of these really important stories in Latin America. And, you know, I kind of get Hispanic culture. I think that the Democrats were really shocked that they didn't get the Hispanic win, right, this time around. And I kind of wonder,

Is any of this trying to feed into like this fear? Because most Hispanics, by the way, that I talk to don't want illegal criminals here anyway. Majority of Americans, according to polling, want deportation of violent migrants, which is exactly what this is. These are illegals that have come here that have committed crimes and they're getting deported. But to your point, the Democrats actually did look at why they lost in large portions the Hispanic vote for President Trump moving into the 2024 election cycle. this actually goes into the fact that Hispanic Americans vehemently reject illegal immigration. We know what it does to our communities. And because of the fact that you had Joe Biden and Kamal Harris that were running on this platform and then also pandering, it did not bow well. Well, let's look at

the bigger picture, right? So we have an upcoming midterms. We have these people. We know we, we now find the money trailed. Mr. Shingham has actually been funding this. But it's a lot darker than that. So Mr. Singham is also married to a woman who actually funds something called Code Pink that's been responsible for a lot of the doxing and then also stalking of members up here in Washington, D.C. But look at the messaging that Code Pink is pushing, also tied to the CCP. And ultimately, what's interesting about this in going into the investigations that we're launching, because I did speak to Chairman Comer on House Oversight. And oversight's going to be sending a request to Mr. Singham to produce documents and then also to testify to Congress if he does not show up. He will be held in contempt of Congress. I can promise you that and he will be prosecuted under the Department of Justice.

But the fact is, is that Mr. Shingham, as we had just spoken about earlier, he also happens to live in Shanghai part of the year. And he is also not a registered foreign agent yet receives money from China. So that would be a making him guilty of a FARA violation and then also to an agent of China. And so these are all things that Congress should have done a while ago, not just with Mr. Shingham, but other organizations tied to foreign influence, especially being that some of them, like Code Pink, operate here actually within the Capitol. It's not a shock to anyone. Everyone knows about the Chinese spy incident with Eric Swalwell. Yeah. Diane Feinstein's driver being also a

Chinese spy. So, you know, mind you, Trish, this is all happening at the same time where in the last couple of weeks, we've had now three incidences of agro-terrorism or some form of bioweapons. coming from China that's been attempted to be smuggled in here. I do think that they're linked. You have two incidences now all tied to economic trade with China, with President Trump being hard and strong on China, and now they are starting to launch from within. And I go back to, we've known about this guy for a bit.

A global web of Chinese propaganda leads to a U.S. tech mogul. So the New York Times actually admitted this back in 2023. We've got Data Republican that's all over it looking at basically the tide of the most recent incidents. I mean, it's fascinating because he's married to the woman who is the founder of Code Pink. And it's fascinating because she used to be anti-China until the funding was coming from someplace else.

And the funding is tied from Code Pink also to China. So I think that this is all correlated. People think, you know, oh, they must really just care. These organizations really just care about these poor illegals. The fact is, is that, A, here's the first truth bomb. Illegals are not just Hispanic and they're not just Mexicans, right? Why would they choose to hit and use a Mexican flag? Well, maybe it's because the largest voting minority in the country are Mexican-Americans.

Second lie here is that, you know, what is actually happening with these organizations? Where's the funding coming from? It's not just coming from Americans. It's actually coming from Chinese, Czech. Chinese agents. And so what I would say is that, yes, you have people that are low information thinking that this might be about deportations. It's not. In fact, it's far more nefarious than that. I would say that, you know, Barack Obama actually deported the most illegals, I think, as any president. Why did these protests not happen under Barack Obama? Why is not happening under President Trump?

And so I think that this is correlated. I absolutely think now that we have the money trail, that it's time that Congress investigates, we're not just sending strongly worded letter. where you're team this up. So you're going to demand he come in. He testified. You're going to ask about all this money, his connections to the CCP. You know, he's said all along, no, no, no. Like, you know, he's maintaining his innocence.

He's just a communist. I mean, literally. And you said it in your video. Like, kid you not. Communist Party. He's a communist. And so, you know, this is, I think, something that will always be at the heart of ideological wars here in the United States is that you do have people, you know,

they try to social. disinformation and discord via these bot farms, pitting us at each other. But at the end of the day, it's literally Western culture, Western civilization against communism. And that's how people think, you know, oh, we're helping these illegals.

It's not about that. It's never been about that. It's always about money. Unfortunately. It's just the way the world works. You know, they may pretend they're socialists or communists, but at heart, they really are capitalists

because they're looking out for Numero. They want their money. Yeah. Yeah. Let me ask you about La Monica, McGiver, three federal, and the indictment counts against her. She seemed to have no remorse.

Alina Haba gave us this opportunity to say, you know, look, I shouldn't have been impeding law enforcement. She probably could have walked away Scott Free, similar to what the mayor got. Instead, she doubled down, insisted on her innocence despite the fact that they have this video. And now we learned last night that there is a grand jury indictment that was just unsealed against her. She could potentially be facing up to 17 years. she is a member of Congress like yourself. AOC said, don't you dare, right? Come from my people.

What's your reaction? What I would tell you is Alina is an absolute pit bull and they need to throw the book at her, mainly metaphorically, mainly because of the fact that if you allow one person to do this to assault law enforcement, look, George Santos, don't agree with what he did, but he wasn't even charged yet and he was expelled from Congress. As soon as they charge her, she needs to be expelled from Congress as well. Wow. Okay. Well, we'll be watching for that. And, you know, I'd love to have you back, represented because I think that this, this story here with the Chinese funding is going to

heat up. I think we can't pretend. You know, they think we had something to do with Hong Kong, whether we did or not. Maybe they're looking at this as payback. I don't know. But I think that we're going to anticipate more of this. And I love, love, love that you're following the money. And I hope you come back and give us all the updates. Thanks, Tresh. Really, really great to have Anna there today. Okay. So again, just to recap, if you're joining us right now, make sure subscribe, share, like, all that good stuff. We're just speaking with Anna. She is going to be issuing a subpoena to one Neville Sigmund, who is believed to be the money behind many of these riots, specifically the ones in L.A. So he's a tech billionaire. He lives

much of the year in China. And her big question there is, why isn't he registered as a foreign agent, how can you be giving all these money to so-called non-profits and NGOs, okay, you're a communist, this is what you believe in. But at what point does it sort of cross the line to the point where you're actually pushing a Chinese viewpoint? And she's got a lot of backing on this, including from, as I said, some liberal publications, including not just the New York Times, but also the Daily Beast. They've all reported on this. We talked about this yesterday, about how this party, this party for socialism and liberation is funded by him as is Code Pink, which is his wife's organization.

And they are based out of San Francisco and they have arranged for so many of these things happening in California right now. So it's wild, right? Like it's just really, really, really wild stuff. Again, I encourage you to check out this article. We're going to get more from Anna again in the days. head, the representative, great representative, by the way, how many representatives have been on the cover of Maxim Magazine? Just saying, okay? So we are definitely going to hear more from her because she's,

she's a pit bull herself and she's all over this and she's not going to let it go. And neither is yours truly. All right. So watch because we can't have that kind of interference. We just can't. It's not acceptable. By the way, the guy gets tax deductions for doing it. I don't think so.
